Beginning in the early 1990s, the four townships adjoining the City participated with River Falls in the development of the Kinnickinnic River Watershed Planning process referred to as the “205j Plan.” Similarly, the townships were at the table when the state-funded Priority Watershed Plan for the Kinnickinnic River was developed in 1998.
