Red Cedar Basin water quality report hearings

A new report that explains efforts to improve water quality in the Red Cedar Basin will be the topic of public informational hearings later this month in Menomonie and Rice Lake. The current proposal is directed at improving water quality problems that affect swimming and boating in Tainter Lake and Lake Menomin, but is expected to benefit other lakes and rivers in the basin as well.... The public informational meetings begin at the times listed below. An opportunity for informal questions will occur 30 minutes before the scheduled hearing and immediately after the hearing.
