Sauk River Watershed District to host public input meeting

The Sauk River Watershed District will host a public information meeting to discuss the results of the total maximum daily load (TMDL) study conducted on Smith Lake, Faille Lake and Lake Osakis. The meeting will be held on August 28 at the Osakis High School auditorium at 7 p.m.

The purpose of the TMDL study was to determine nutrient sources and to quantify the pollutant reductions needed to meet state water quality standards for these three lakes.

This study has been conducted over the past several years and is now finished and ready for the results to be presented to the public.

Members from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Wenck and Associates will be present at the meeting to review the results and discuss with the public the implementation efforts that can be done to improve water quality.
