St Paul : Environment : Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO)
VLAWMO was formed in 1983 through a Joint Powers Agreement ratified by the seven local units of government. The organization was formed to comply with the metropolitan Surface Water Management Act. The VLAWMO originally adopted its watershed management plan in 1987. The current (second-generation) plan was approved by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources and adopted by VLAWMO in 1997. This plan sets forth goals, policies, management strategies and implementation criteria for the watershed.
