I.J.C. Gets Praise


A Task Force looking at water quality issues on the Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake watersheds has wrapped up a round of public meetings.

The group is to report back to the International Joint Commission by next July.

Todd Sellars of the Lake of the Woods Water Sustainability Foundation is impressed with its work so far.

"The public is concerned about the lake and the watershed and wants some concrete options to consider and comment on," says Sellars. "It sounds like the task force is planning to adjust its plans and get back with an interim options paper early in the new year."

The Task Force was set up based on suggestions from the Foundation and others.
