A Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan is a requirement of the 1982 Surface Water Management Act. E-IGHWMO developed a Plan in coordination with a citizen advisory committee and technical staff at local and state levels of government. The first generation Plan was approved by the Board of Water and Soil Resources in 2016. The second generation Plan was approved by the Board in 2026. The Plan is effective for 10 years, and therefore a third generation Plan will be needed in 2036.
