Published: July 28, 2009

The state is committing $65,000 of $1.07 million in federal water pollution-prevention stimulus money to support Wisconsin partnership with Minnesota to clean up the St. Croix River by reducing runoff from construction sites and farms.

The two states have agreed to reduce phosphorous pollution in the river by 20 percent in the next 11 years.

The remaining money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant will be used to create plans to protect water quality through monitoring, restoring polluted waterways and preventing water pollution.
