The district’s water management plan guides the work we do managing water resources within our boundaries.
WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Water Management Plan sets the vision, guidelines, and proposed tasks for managing water resources within the boundaries of the watershed district.
Nine Mile Creek Water Management Plan (2017-2027)
The Fifth Generation Nine Mile Creek Water Management Plan was prepared in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 103D and 103B.231, and Minnesota Rules 8410.
NMCWD Water Management Plan 2017-2027 (Adopted October 18, 2017; Amended April 2018, April 2019, and September 2023)
Water Management Plan Update (2027-2037)
The district is required to update its water management plan every ten years. The planning process for the plan update will include input from the district’s Technical and Community Advisory Committees, as well as watershed residents. The updated plan will set the goals and priorities that define the district’s programs and capital projects to protect and enhance our water resources over the years 2027-2037. Previous plans were published in 1961, 1973, 1996, 2007, and 2017.
