Kinnickinnic River Water Management Plan:

Problem and Mission Statements

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The increase in urban runoff, with its associated thermal and sediment pollution from present and future development in the City of River Falls, can have a detrimental impact on the coldwater fishery of the Kinnickinnic River.

MISSION STATEMENT

The City of River Falls, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), Trout Unlimited, and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, will implement a regional water quality plan which will accommodate anticipated community development while controlling the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff, and properly manage and protect ground water resources and the physical habitat of the Kinnickinnic River and its tributaries.
