Local Water Management

Carlton County Planning and Zoning is the local government unit (LGU) responsible for the Local Water Management Plan program. The Carlton County water planning process started when the Board of Commissioners passed a resolution on December 8, 1987, to enter into the Comprehensive Local Water Planning process under Chapter 103B.311 and 103B.315 of Minnesota Statues. The original Carlton County Comprehensive Local Water Management Plan was completed and adopted in late 1990. The Carlton County Comprehensive Local Water Management Plan 2010-2020 is the fourth generation plan in Carlton County. The plan can be viewed by clicking the link below. Copies of the plan can also be viewed at the Carlton County Planning and Zoning Office.
