Contractor Redwood Cottonwood River Control Area

SWIFT Contract Number B20788 / 14011

Project Name Cottonwood/Redwood Rivers Project

Project Number (if applicable) CR2026

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: The watersheds of the Redwood River, Cottonwood River and the first order streams above and between the two major basins encompasses approximately 2,269.23 square miles and include portions of 4 of the thirteen major watersheds in the Minnesota River Basin. The major tributaries of the Redwood and Cottonwood Rivers originate on the Coteau des Prairies, flowing eastward approximately 152 miles to the Minnesota River with a drop in elevation of about 750 feet. This topography results in periodic spring and summer flooding in the central portion of the watershed. At times, damages are severe. A related implication is rapid transport of sediment and attached nutrients from inadequately treated cropland during spring snowmelt and spring and summer rainfall events.
