Watershed Board Looking At New Lake Studies

The new International Rainy-Lake of the Woods Watershed Board has hit
the ground running.

Todd Sellars is a local rep with the newly Board and says they will be the voice that speaks to all the governments involved.

The watershed covers an area over 70 thousand square kilometers.

Sellars says the board will create a water quality plan of study focusing on nutrients, harmful algae blooms, invasive species, and ground water contamination.
