St. Croix River Water Quality Discussion

The public and Rotarians are invited to a free moderated panel discussion on the subject of river water quality, following regular meeting of Hudson Daybreak Rotary.

Michael Mroz, City of Hudson, Public Works and Parks Director, will describe the system for collecting and cleaning snow and rain from the City streets before discharge into the Willow and St. Croix Rivers. He will also describe actions residents of Hudson can take to limit the discharge of harmful chemicals to the rivers.

Tara Daun, Wisconsin Farmers Union, Director of Conservation and Stewardship, will describe the impaired condition of the St. Croix River and how rain and snow runoff from farm fields reaches the Willow and St. Croix Rivers. She will describe efforts by farmers in the watershed to limit the discharge of phosphorus and nitrogen to the rivers.

Buck Malick will moderate the panel. Hudson Community Channel 15 Cable TV will record the panel for later viewing.
