4 2020 Legislative Priorities
Can we improve water quality standard revision process? Is our water management structure efficient compared to other states? One water agency?

How can we better measure effectiveness of dedicated fund programs? How do environmental and water programs compare to other states? Benefits and consequences around 404 wetlands permit assumptions? Can there be better coordination among SMWP, CWC, LSOHC, and LCCMR? Are we effectively conducting water planning for future needs? Minnesota’s most important water priorities? Can we prioritize conservation for the greatest outcomes? How do we balance the value of protection versus restoration efforts? Other?

5 Clean Water Outcomes Can we prioritize conservation practices for the best outcomes?

6 Presentations: Clean Water process – Chesapeake Bay, Paul Chapel
Upper Mississippi, Rich Biske (TNC)

7 Can we Prioritize conservation for the greatest benefits and outcomes?
Clean water outcomes may not meet expectations Millions will have been spent Amendment is at half-way point Emphasis is needed on outcomes The questions are: Will funds spent move the needle in improving our water? Can we stress outcomes to ensure that the amendment can be re-approved?

8 Can we Prioritize conservation for the greatest outcomes?
CW programs are evolving from assessment to implementation From state to local emphasis through 1W/1Plan Local emphasis has many positive aspects CW Programs stress: Impaired waters Removing TMDL impairments Structural controls Recently, on agricultural field scale changes

9 Can we Prioritize conservation for the greatest outcomes? Part 2
Place emphasis on protecting and preserving cleaner waters Clean water act stresses: Restoring water close to standards Protecting high quality waters Protecting waters for public use and health What might be an improvement? Minor adjustments that produce more visible outcomes More priority on watersheds with the greatest potential for positive outcomes Stress results that highlight the value of CW process How do we do this? Discussion
