rin -Sum r 1 5 T TALK ~ 5 <br />Continued from page 4... <br />7tie SL Cro/x Rlvsr and h'a WaMnhsd <br />Responding to the Threats <br />To respond to threats such as these, and in <br />support of opportunities, the Voyageurs Region <br />National Park Association, during the Last three <br />years, has been developing a base of support, a <br />background paper, and an action plan, toward <br />the establishment of a St. Croix Watershed <br />Network. Persons interested in more <br />information about. the Network can call the St. <br />Croix Watershed Network office directly at (612) <br />333-5424. <br />Meanwhile, the Minnesota-Wisconsin <br />Boundary Area Commission and the partner <br />managing agencies on the Lower St. Croix River <br />(the Minnesota and Wisconsin DNRs and the <br />National Park Service) are working to implement <br />the other 3? recommendations contained in the <br />final report for this project. <br />Copies of the final project report can be <br />viewed at the new River and Watershed <br />Stewardship Reference Library at the <br />Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area <br />Commission, 619 Second Street, Hudson, <br />Wisconsin. Copies of summary newsletters <br />contain] ~ the 38 final recommendations and <br />other information, a newly published <br />Stewardship guide, a summary video, and other <br />materials, can be obtained by contacting the <br />Commission at (612) 436-7131 or (715) 386- <br />9444. <br />1.

Beginning this year, a task force <br />made up of all of the river's varied interests and <br />perspectives-from cities and counties to <br />environmental groups and development <br />interests-will sit down with the Park Service <br />and the two DNRs to begin crafting a new <br />management approach to the river. Rather <br />than drafting a plan in private and then letting <br />public interests take shofs at it, the plan will be <br />written in the most public of settings: a series <br />of task force meetings that will probably take , <br />.four years to complete. <br />In addition to this broad level of planning, <br />the National Park Service is also completing a <br />more specific water resource management plan <br />). The WRMP, as its name implies, <br />focuses on the water and water-dependent <br />resources of the river corridor. While <br />management plans.inelude and are in fact <br />.driven by public. involvement. the WRMP is <br />an internal National Park Service <br />doeumtnt to guide the management of water <br />resources in the corridor. The process has <br />begun with the identification of significant <br />issues facing the river's water resources and the <br />identification of sources of data and information <br />related to those issues. Assembling and <br />synthesizing that. data and information is now <br />in progress. This process will identify <br />significant information gaps and prescribe ways <br />to fill those gaps. Project statements will be <br />developed to guide management. As an <br />Continued on page 6 ». <br />
