In 2017 and ongoing, the campus partnered with the City of River Falls to evaluate and comply with new TMDLs. The City of River Falls will conduct the modeling for both the campus and community. This work will continue into 2018.

The City regularly consults and assists in the inspection of our system. In addition, a PM system is in place to regularly inspect our system. Grounds crews are also very good at inspecting the system after a large rain event.
