This is a set of the impaired wetlands as determined by MPCA's surface water quality assessment process, submitted for the 2020 reporting cycle to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Wetlands declared impaired prior to 2020 are also included in this dataset. The waterbodies included in the dataset have been submitted to EPA as part of the impaired waters list.
Note that for the purpose of submitting the impaired waters list to EPA, waterbodies partially or wholly within Indian reservation boundaries are published in separate datasets. The MPCA still considers these waters impaired and has an interest in restoring them. The MPCA respectfully requests that the waters partially or wholly within Indian reservations be symbolized differently on map products so that viewers can differentiate them from waters not intersecting Indian reservations. These wetlands are a subset and enhancement of the 1:24,000 scale National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). In cases where the NHD does not include wetlands that MPCA has assessed, additional wetlands from the MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Waters lakes database are added. Since the impaired wetlands are a small subset of the NHD and DNR wetlands only that subset is included in the dataset. This dataset includes impaired wetlands which have not yet had a TMDL plan approved by the US EPA, those that have a US EPA approved TMDL plan as well as those wetlands that do not need a TMDL plan.
