A Sediment Source Database Training Workshop for the Siskiwit River
Watershed
Date: Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Time: 9:00 am to 11:00 am CST
Location: Cornucopia Town Hall, Cornucopia, Wisconsin

I am pleased to invite you (or your representative) to participate in an
upcoming technical workshop. This workshop is designed for local
stakeholders in the Siskiwit River watershed in Cornucopia, Wisconsin to use
the recently completed sediment source database of the watershed in order to
monitor sediment sources and identify sediment reduction priority areas. The
technical workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, November 3, 2010, at the
Cornucopia Town Hall located at:

Cornucopia Town Hall
22615 County Highway C
Cornucopia, WI 54827

Representatives from the US Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District will be
leading a meeting discussing the sediment source database and
recommendations associated with the study. The purpose of this technical
workshop is to provide an opportunity for local community stakeholders and
interested parties to learn how to use the sediment source database that has
been developed for the Siskiwit River watershed. Sediment management
recommendations will also be presented. This workshop marks the end of this
project and will serve to transfer the technological tools and knowledge
back to the watershed communities for its continued use.

The workshop will run from 9:00 am to 11:00 am CST on Wednesday, November 3,
2010.  

Feel free to share this letter and workshop information with other parties
who you feel may be interested in participating in this technical workshop.
There is no registration fee for the workshop.

We look forward to seeing you or your representative on November 3rd.
