A Watershed District is a special purpose local unit of government. It is established for the purpose of managing water resources. It is different from all other local govemment units in that its boundary is determined by the natural divide that defines the drainaQe basin of a river, stream, or a lake, rather than the political boundaries of townships or counties. There is no maYimum or manimum size set for watershed districts. Bv law, districts have been established for relatively small watersheds, as well as very large ones, such as the Red Lake Watershed District, which encompasses more than 6000 square miles. The Watershed Act allows districts to act on a broad range of water problems. Some of these include drainage and flood control, lake management, soil erosion and sedimentation, water quality, groundwater mana�ement, water supply, and floodplain management. What are the responsibilities af Watershed District Authorities? _ The Watershed Act provides districts with authorities needed to manage water resources. Some of their responsibilities are as follows: • To develop the Watershed Mana�ement Plan • To investigate and undertake water management improvement projects • To act as grant-eligible body for the application for and administration of state and federal �rants • To adopt rules to regulate activities that can cause water-related problems • To acquire property needed for improvement projects • To assess properties benetitted bv improvement projects • To exercise limited authorit�� to lew taxes to finance district operation � i ;�r�. Who governs a Watershed District'? Watershed Districts are governed by a local board of manage:s. When a district is first established, the initial board of managers is appointed by the Board of Water and Soil Resources from a list of manager nominees submitted alone with the establishment petition. District managers cannot be county, state, or federal officials and they must reside within the district. The first board of managers serves for only one year, thereafter it becomes the responsibility of the county boards of commissioners that have territory in the district to appoint the managers. The establishment petition can request from three to nine managers for a district, and the number of managers that each county is authorized to appoint is de:ermined by the Board of Water and Soil Resources when it establishes the district. There is no set formula for distributing the appointments among counties, but the primary consideration is generally the azea of land within each county. Where are Watershed Districts established� Districts can be established anywhere in the state. There are currently 42 watershed districts in the state of Minnesota; the largest concentration is in the Red River Basin, in northwestern Minnesota. The Board of Water and Soil Resources has no power to establish a district unless it receives a petition from the local level. In addition, B.W.S.R. has never gone around promoting districts. An establishment petition can be validated in four different �vavs. It can be si�_ned bv at least half of the counties havinQ land within the proposed district. It can be validated bv a countv or counties having at least half of the area of the proposed district, the majoritv of cities within the proposed district, or by at least �0 landowners within the proposed district. Ivfost .; establishment petitions have beea submitted by counties, rather than cities or landowners. When a petition is filed, B.VV.S.R. is required to conduct a public hearin� within the area of the proposed district to receive comments on the proposed district. In order to establish a district, B.W.S.R. must find that the proposed district would serve the purposes of the Watershed Act. Watershed Districts and the Watershed Nlanagement Pla_n The first responsibility of a new district is to prepare a watershed manaaement plan. A watershed management plan must be written before the district can carry out any projects. This plan must describe e:cisting and potential water problems in the district, describe possible solutions, and define the general objectives of the board of managers. The board of managers is required to appoint a local advisory committee to assist it in putting together the watershed management plan. The Board of Water and Soil Resources is required.to conduct a public hearing on the watershed management plan before it can be put into effect. How do State and Federal laws and regulations a��lv to Watershed Districts? Watershed Districts are not e;cempt from other state and federal laws and regulations. It is important to realize that although the Watershed Act provides the district with a number of authorities to deal with local water manaQement. the districts' actions must be consistent with other applicable laws and rules. For example, if a district is �oin� to carry out a lake level control project, the district �vould need to obtain a permit from the �finnesota Department of Natural Resources to install a lake level control structure, the same as any other local unit of �overnment or individual. There are common misconceptions about this. =� r What are the advanta�es of havin� a Watershed District'? • A Watershed District provides a stable mechanism for dealing �vith water management problems that cross the boundaries of several local aovernmental jurisdictio�s. In many instances, the attitudes and approaches taken by local officials vary considerably depending upon their geographic position in the watershed. In many cases, upstream areas are reluctant to admit that their activities are contributing to problems downstream, or else they are reluctant to voluntarily join in efforts to downstream parties to solve water problems. The watershed district approach has been used in many instances to provide a mechanism for overcoming such upstream- downstream controversies. • Secondly, it provides a local organization that can concentrate its efforts solely on water management. Officials of general purpose local units of government have many other responsibilities to deal with, and therefore, water management often takes a back seat to other local concerns. Water management is also a controversial subject because it necessitates dealin� with people's property and how that property is used. It is often difficult for local officials to find support in their own areas for water management activities, when the primary benefits are going to occur in a different area. It is easier for a watershed district board of mana�ers to have a watershed-wide perspective of the problems and solutions, and to devote more of their time to water management efforts. • Finallv, the Watershed Act itself is designed specifical(y as a tool for m�naging water, and contains procedures and authorities that can facilitate S soiutions to water problems. For example, once a district's Watershed �lanagement Plan is in place, landowners can petition tl�e board of managers for any type of project that conforms to the p(an. This fle:cibilitv makes it possible for a district to become involved in just about any type of project that may be needed to alleviate a local w3ter problem. It is important to remember that watershed districts are not the sole managers of water resources. Counties also have many authorities relating to water management and certainly are capable of doing what a watershed district can if they are motivated and have the necessary support with adjoining counties. s:\watershe.wpd B.W.S.R. �^ YYa�1�1g�Qn Watershed Districts ��,�,�OU T"1}'j 7 Brown's Creek �1a � Carnelian-Marine APPLICATION FOR APPOINT1�1F1�'T Comtort Lake-Forest TO ��1'ATERSHED D1STRlCT Lake Ramsey-Washinglon C0.A:1/e� I�C'tU- I,IL(V21 tiz- - � C�J(>( Metro Watershed District Rice Creek South Washington INSTR UCTIONS: Valley Branch I. �'1'rite the name of the V1'atershed District you are applying for in the space above. 2.
