Working near Special Waters
(trout streams, wetlands, Lake Superior, etc)
- Did you know there are 12 trout
streams in the Duluth city limits?
- And dozens more along the north
shore and south
shore of Lake Superior?
- If you are working in Hermantown, chances are you are near a wetland.
- Construction near the Lake Superior shoreline? It's extremely sensitive to
disturbance and can degrade coastal zone wildlife and fisheries habitats.
All these sites require special considerations and rapid stabilization to prevent excess stormwater runoff, erosion and the discharge of sediments and other pollutants from degrading our water bodies
