    Assessing Site Suitability for Land Application of Biosolids in St. Louis, Carlton, and Douglas Counties
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 1996) Host, George E; Polzer, Philip L.
    The effective implementation of a biosolids land application program requires a suitable base of potential sites within a reasonable transportation distance. The objective of this study was to determine the acreage of potential agricultural and forested sites within Carlton, Douglas, and selected areas of St. Louis County. Suitability was determined using land use information in conjunction with soils data in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. This study was done in cooperation with the St. Louis County Minnesota Extension Service.

    Northeastern Carlton County (NECC): Activities, Attitudes and Ratings
    (1974-02) Laundergan, J. Clark; Pearson, A. Neil
    This 1973 general socio-economic survey of 509 respondents focused on social aspects of the northeastern segment of Carlton County. Only a few questions dealt with natural resources or water resources. 1% (n = 5) reported farming full-time, and 7% (n = 33) were part-time farmers. While a few recreational questions were posed, none were specific to water. A question asked "Please list three things you think this community needs most." 19 respondents replied "Swimming (mostly outdoor)"and 18 replied "Water supply." The study concludes that "Environmental preservation and pollution control is obviously important to many as was their expressed concern about an adequate and ensured water supply."
