Impact7G, as the project lead, completed a feasibility study with Astig Planning for the City of Fort Dodge. The feasibility study is a city-wide watershed approach that provides a comprehensive strategy for implementing water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) improvement projects throughout the town and along noted waterways. Data from this report was used to complete the SRF Sponsored Project application, securing funding for the $1.4M Soldier Creek Restoration Project. The report provided an action-oriented plan which will be leveraged when grant opportunities are pursued.

Practices identified for funding are primarily focused on restoring the natural hydrology of the watershed in which they are located. Based on the results of our analysis, four areas have been identified as a high priority: one regional and three small urban practices. The report provided a detailed project scope for each area, including projected cost estimates.
