Such efforts facilitate both environmental review and associated permit processes. Response: The goal of the project is to enhance the water quality of a regionally significant recreational waterbody. Constructive contributions made by DNR staff has been useful in designing the project to meet the intended goals while minimizing the local impact. Comment: Public education by the GLWMO should be pursued in addition to physical alteration of existing wetland complexes in order to achieve additional water quality benefits. Response: The GLWMO is in the process of developing Lake Management Plans for the significant recreational waterbodies within the watershed. Public information and education will likely be a part of the recommended action plan for these basins. Comment: Efforts should be taken to improve water quality prior to discharge into Unnamed Wetland 62-280W. Response: The GLWMO is in the process of developing Lake Management Plans for the significant recreational waterbodies within the watershed. Additional efforts within the subwatershed may be a part of the recommended action plan for Lake Owasso. Comment: The results of this proposal should be regularly monitored to ensure that modelled water quality benefits actually accrue. Response: There has been a historical effort to collect water quality data for Lake Owasso which is anticipated to continue. Examination of this data will be of assistance in determining the effectiveness of the GLWMO activities.
