Grass Lake Water Mgmt Org 3` Gen 509 Plan 4.4.3 Education Program Table 4 -2 5.0 Goals Policies 6.0 Implementation Program Update this section to refer to GLWMO's more active role in education and outreach Update this table or create a similar framework after assessing the performance of original goals after adding mgmt. strategies for other waterbodies in the WMO (e.g. Bennett Lake). Update with new or revised goals and policies identified through the planning process. Update with new implementation priorities, actions,& programs identified through the planning process. Task 2.0 Collect Plan and Land and Water Resources Data Description: The EOR team will collect available data on the GLWMO's water and land resources for sections of the inventory and plan that require updates. GIS data will be collected where available to provide spatial representations of the information if needed. Copies of reports and studies completed since the development of the current plan will also be collected and reviewed for summary and synthesis in the plan and inventory. Deliverables: List of collected data Assumptions: Existing data will be provided to EOR in a format that facilitates data analysis and incorporation into plan (e.g. electronic spreadsheet, not paper copy). Electronic copy of the current watershed management plan will be provided to EOR to serve as base document. Task 2.1 Prepare Land and Water Resources Inventory Regulatory Framework Description: EOR will prepare an updated written Land and Water Resources Inventory using the data gathered in Task 2.0. The inventory will address the topics required under MN Rule 8410.0060 and will include a full update of the sections identified in the table above as well as the development of required sections that are currently not in the Inventory: Water -based Recreation Areas, Fish and Wildlife Habitat, and Unique Features and Scenic Areas. The remaining sections of the Land and Water Resource Inventory are expected to need only minor updates if any. The Regulatory Framework will similarly be updated as identified in the table above with only minor changes expected in other sections. Deliverables: Draft Land and Water Resources Inventory Task 2.2 Draft Issues, Goals, and Policies Sections Description: The EOR team will update the issue statements and GLWMO goals and policies to reflect the feedback received in the plan input and public involvement process. For example, management goals for inventoried waterbodies will require collecting and evaluating new monitoring data and reviewing management goals in light of resource quality and new state and federal rules and regulations. It is suggested that issues, goals and policies for specific surface water and groundwater resources will be highlighted on a one -page summary of the resource (see examples from Carnelian- Marine St. Croix WD Watershed Management Plan provided in Appendix B). It is our experience that presenting management goals and objectives in this format facilitates the use of the plan by a broader audience and provides communication and educational materials in an easy -to- understand format. More general issues (e.g. not resource specific such as watershed -wide communication and education) will also be included in the issues, goals and policies sections of the plan. Deliverables: Draft Assessment of Problems and Issues Draft Goals and Policies Emmons Olivier Resources. Inc. water 1 ecology 1 community 6
