Purpose

To approve and execute an MOU for a streamgaging project in Sauk and Juneau Counties.

Background

Background: Sauk County Land Resources and Environment Department has collaborated with Juneau County Land and Water Resources Department, Lake Redstone Protection District, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) since 2019 to implement water quality monitoring activities within the Lake Redstone watershed in Sauk and Juneau Counties. Water quality monitoring is utilized to develop watershed plans that identify sources and quantities of water pollution and contamination and propose best management practices to address these resource concerns. Streamgaging infrastructure will be installed at three locations in the Lake Redstone watershed for water quality monitoring in 2021. Juneau County has entered a Joint Funding Agreement with the USGS and Sauk County has committed funding towards this project. A Memorandum of Understanding is attached (Exhibit A), which outlines the responsibilities of Sauk County and Juneau County.
