My name is John Derksen and I am Chairman of the Board of Supervisors <br /> of the St. Joseph County Soil and Water Conservation District. This <br /> unit of government is concerned with the conservation and wise use of all our <br /> natural resources. Our District includes all of St. Joseph County, both <br /> rural and urban areas. During the last few years we have been very <br /> active in promoting comprehensive water resource planning in the <br /> upstream watershed areas within our county. These watershed plans are <br /> concerned with both the quality and quantity of the Water resource. <br /> We realize that all of our work in the upstream areas will be much less <br /> important if we allow the water quality in our major streams to <br /> deteriorate. We sincerely hope that this body will do all in its <br /> power to improve the water quality in our beautiful St. Joseph River, <br /> one of our most important natural resources. <br />
