There is a public comment period for some river clean-up ideas. Just posting this if anyone is interested. I don’t know how to shorten the link by renaming it, sorry.
x3 e-mail sent. I am kind of surprised more people are not jumping on board with this. This post should be duplicated over in the general discussion forum to draw more attention to it.
Sure hope they do something other than talk. Guess with all the low clearer water from last fall to this spring on pool 2 I started to get spoiled. The rain about to weeks ago and mud that followed sure was a change and a reminder of how impaired the Mississippi river is.
I am all for farmers and agriculture, that being said, there needs to be better practices put in place regarding runoff from farm fields into the Minnesota River. I have often wondered if in 100 years or less, not only will the upper end of Pepin be filled in but many of the backwaters too in pools 2-4.
