Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: East Willow Creek, a tributary of the Root River system, drains a 37.5-square-mile area of Fillmore County in southeastern Minnesota. A watershed protection plan for East Willow Creek was written in 1954 under authority of a U. S. Department of Agriculture Appropriation Act of the same year. This act provided for a pilot program of watershed protection to be initiated in 65 small watersheds throughout the United States. The work plan for East Willow Creek Watershed outlined a program designed to reduce erosion, sedimentation, and flooding. It included land-treatment measures, dams for flood protection and land stabilization, and the improvement of subwatershed waterways. Construction of the project commenced in 1954 and was completed in 1959. An evaluation of the project was made to provide data that would be useful in planning other watersheds with similar problems and characteristics. This report reviews and analyzes results of project installations through 1960.
