If BWSR approves the petition, it would eliminate <br />the Central Ramsey Watershed Management Organization (WMO), a joint .powers <br />entity of municipalities, that is currently managing the watershed. <br />Steve Woods, the consulting engineer who staffs the Central Ramsey WMO, <br />• explained that the Central Ramsey WMO had operated with the understanding that <br />most municipalities would take care of water issues within their municipalities. <br />Therefore, the Central Ramsey WMO was fairly inactive over the years. Recently, <br />the WMO was dealing with issues like the management of the Troutbrook <br />stormwater interceptor and water quality in Lake Como and McCarrons Lake. <br />
