CRMP Strategies and Actions
The CRMP
identifies guidance, strategies, and actions to improve water quality and water
management in the Wallsburg watershed. Twenty-five specific projects, actions,
and studies, with an estimated cost of about $2.8 million, are described along
with potential funding and implementation partners.
Conduct preliminary planning to identify a supplemental source of irrigation water to reduce the stream diversions, thereby allowing natural flows to remain in the creeks.
Implement riparian corridor conservation practices for about 13,000 linear feet of stream banks to reduce the transport of sediment. See Main Creek Restoration Project for more details
Investigate the spring source of Spring Creek to identify and reduce the sources of phosphorus.
Coordinate and implement grazing land management plans and strategies to maximize grazing distribution and control noxious weeds on 10,000 acres.
Enhance 5,600 acres of wildlife habitat and wet meadows.
Restore Main Creek aquatic habitat, stream flow and manage fish communities. See Main Creek Restoration Project for more details
Prepare community wastewater-treatment evaluations and management strategies to reduce the influence of wastewater-treatment systems on water resources.
