Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) Periodically revised bnd_WDWMO Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) withheld bnd_WDWMO vector digital data This data set depicts watershed district and watershed management organization boundaries throughout the state of Minnesota. A watershed district (WD) is a special governmental unit created through a local petition process to address any of a number of possible water management issues (e.g. flood control, stream channel improvements, water conservation, drainage system management, sediment control, riparian area management, water quality protection and enhancement, etc.). Minnesota Statute Chapter 103D governs the formation and operation of watershed districts. A watershed management organization (WMO) is defined as a watershed district wholly within the seven-county, Twin Cities Metropolitan Area or a joint powers entity established wholly or partly in the metropolitan area by special law or agreement to perform some or all of the functions of a watershed district. Minnesota Statute Chapter 103B governs the formation and operation of watershed management organizations. NOTES: - MANY BOUNDARY DISCREPANCIES EXIST WITH THIS DATA SET. See Lineage in Section 2 of this metadata for more details. This layer represents our most current information on watershed districts and WMOs in the State of MN. The dataset is NOT error free, and boundaries are frequently being updated and changed, so these should be used for reference only. Water planning is either the responsibility of a watershed district or a water management org. If neither of these exist, then responsibility falls onto the county. For a more precise boundary determination, check with the BWSR board conservationist for the area in question. http://maps.bwsr.state.mn.us en 2011 Last updated April, 2011 In work As needed -97.241792 -91.090905 49.077960 43.435410 189783.560000 639458.523100 4816307.857400 5436122.250000 Watershed, Watershed District, Watershed Management Organization Minnesota, MN Aaron Spence Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources GIS Specialist

The horizontal accuracy of this data set is unknown. See lineage for more information. Not applicable. 24000 History of the WMO data sets: In 1995 LMIC digitized this data from boundaries that were hand-drawn by the Metropolitan Council on 7.5-minute topo hardcopy. The hand-drawn lines were derived from the watershed plans that came to the Council for review over a period of many years as a result of MN Chapter 509 legislation. There are many areas of potential boundary discrepancies which can be attributed to one of two factors: 1) real boundary discrepancies that resulted from delineations done at various times by various agencies or consultants with little or no coordination, or 2) interpretational errors. Boundaries presumably follow parcel lines, but this data set predates the availability of digital parcel information and has not been updated with any WMO attributes that might be contained within county parcel data. This data layer has been maintained at the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) since 1997. We have not attempted an exhaustive effort to resolve boundary conflicts, however we do make periodic updates to the data by dissolving boundaries or editing attribute info as necessary. Occasionally we recieve notification from local governments about pending changes to a boundary, and sometimes receive shape files that are incorporated with this statewide layer.
