Re: Presentation — Receive Blue Star Award
Background /Discussion
The Blue Star Award is part of a statewide program to protect local water quality by honoring
Minnesota communities that achieve excellence in stormwater management. The award
program is sponsored by a partnership between State agencies, watershed districts,
engineering firm Emmons & Oliver Resources and non - profit group Friends of the Mississippi
River.
The City of Cottage Grove has recently won the Blue Star Award for excellence in stormwater
management. The award signifies that Cottage Grove is a taking a leadership role in
protecting Minnesota's water resources and public health through good stormwater
management.
The City received a high score following an assessment of stormwater management practices
administrated through the Blue Star Award program. The high score earned the City the
award, which is good for three years.
Trevor Russell with the Friends of the Mississippi River will present the award to the City
Council at the March 16 Council meeting.
