The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) includes parts of Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington Counties in Minnesota.
The Rice Creek Watershed District was formed by petition in 1972 as a means of conserving and managing the waters and natural resources of the area. An overall plan for water management was prepared in 1974 and focused on flood control, drainage, water quality, erosion and sedimentation, land development, and the preservation of open spaces for recreation and wildlife. The current Watershed Management Plan was completed in 2010 and provides the guidance and implementation for the RCWD to manage the water and natural resources of the District into the foreseeable future extending through 2020. Focusing on implementation also requires the RCWD to successfully balance conflicting water management laws, address funding issues, and effectively coordinate with constituents.
The Rice Creek Watershed District’s (RCWD) mission is to prevent flooding and enhance water quality in harmony with development for the common good.
