Get Out and Enjoy the Water!

Welcome to the Elm Creek Watershed!

The Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission is the regional governmental unit responsible for protecting the water resources of the Elm Creek watershed in northwestern Hennepin County, Minnesota. 

The Commission is governed by a seven-member board of representatives (Commissioners) from the member communities:  Champlin, Corcoran, Dayton, Maple Grove, Medina, Plymouth, and Rogers. 

What's New.....
**New** We want to know what you think about problems, issues, and opportunities in the watershed. Take our new Opinion Survey!

Fourth Generation Plan.
We're updating our Watershed Management Plan. An updated draft of the Plan has been posted on the Management Plan page, along with a survey and opportunity to submit comments and input.

Maple Grove's South Fork Rush Creek Stream Restoration Project has been recognized by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) as an outstanding project.  This $3.5 million project restored natural form and function to over one mile of highly eroded and degraded stream, restored wetlands, created new habitat, and removed invasive species.

Fish Lake has been removed from the state's list of Impaired Waters due to improved water quality. Congratulations to all the stakeholders who worked together to achieve this goal!
