2015 Year in Review

  • Average precipitation was similar to 2014 – BUT…

– Snowmelt runoff was very small – Rainfall in 2015 was more evenly distributed – Annual precipitation is not necessarily a good indicator of runoff, P loading

  • ~25,000 lb. P delivered to Lake Mendota among the 4

major tributaries.

  • Trophic Index (P) for Lake Mendota was above desirable

level.

  • P Loads at Fulton were ~ 110,000 lb.

IMPLEMENTATION MODEL

Inputs

  • Practice phosphorus

reductions and lifespans

  • Staff time and costs
  • Practice costs
  • Practice distributions
  • Ramp up time

Outputs

  • Yearly costs
  • Yearly estimated

revenue & cost share

  • Yearly total phosphorus

reductions

  • Yearly staff hours
slide-32
SLIDE 32

PHOSPHORUS REDUCTIONS

  • Identify practices

that reduce phosphorus

  • Averages based on

model runs

  • Lifespans
  • Based on design

standards

  • Contract lengths
slide-33
SLIDE 33

STAFF TIME AND COSTS

  • Time to plan,

design, construct, and verify project completion

  • Large range in times
  • Applied a $60.00/hr

rate for costs

slide-34
SLIDE 34

PRACTICE COSTS

  • Estimated using
  • Dane County

average costs

  • Adjusted NRCS cost

share rates

slide-35
SLIDE 35

PRACTICE DISTRIBUTION

  • Distribution by

reach and year

  • Based on 2008 to

2012 data

  • Shift towards more

structural practices

slide-36
SLIDE 36

RAMP UP

  • Total overall

phosphorus reductions

  • Rate at which each

reach achieves its phosphorus goal

  • Yearly targeted

phosphorus reduction

MODEL RESULTS

slide-38
SLIDE 38
  • 2 Reviews by potential participants
  • Final version to go out in mid-December
  • Execution by end of 1st quarter-2016
  • Frequently asked questions “hand out” to accompany the IGA
  • District staff is available to attend meetings if requested

Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA)

slide-39
SLIDE 39
  • Annual payments in two equal increments (Feb 28th and June 30th)
  • Updated modeling needed by September 1st in order to be applied to subsequent

years

  • Credit if a municipality overpays in initial year(s)
  • Unused funds returned at the end of the project
  • Continuation language regarding 2016 project funding
  • Executive committee has two additional “advisory” positions that are non-voting

Some changes in the final version of the IGA

Adaptive Management Plan

  • One plan for the watershed
  • DNR review of draft plan
  • Draft plan will be placed in WINS

portion of MMSD website under “resources”

  • Hope to receive conditional approval

in 1st quarter of 2016

Yahara Pride Farms

  • A farmer-led, not-for-profit
  • rganization working to improve soil

and water

  • Supports research, analysis and

monitoring that will generate the data needed to make the best conservation management decisions

  • n our farms.
  • Certification program
slide-44
SLIDE 44

Yahara Pride Farms

  • Has worked closely with Yahara WINS
  • WINS has been a strong supporter of

Yahara Pride Farms

  • Looking forward to continuing the

strong relationship as adaptive management moves to full scale

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Yahara Pride Farms

  • Farm producers have a strong commitment to environmental stewardship
  • Many farmers are making significant investments on their own to improve soil

health and water quality
