In February 2020, CARPC was awarded a DNR River Planning Grant to work with a Steering Committee of local stakeholders and develop a Chloride Management Plan for the Starkweather Creek watershed. Over the past year we have worked on monitoring chloride concentrations in the creek, identifying chloride pollutant sources and management measures, and developing an information and education plan to reduce salt use. This effort has resulted in a Chloride Management Plan that will help promote the use of Salt Wise practices and monitor the resulting improvements in the watershed through 2024.
