Centerville Lake does not meet MN State water quality standards, and suffers from frequent and occasionally intense algae blooms. Monitoring data indicate an increasing trend of phosphorus and chlorophyll-a annual summer means. A significant portion of the annual phosphorus load for Centerville Lake (40-50%, TMDL, 2013) is thought to be from Peltier Lake backflow. Although the TMDL provided an estimate of backflow nutrient loading as a model residual, a more precise understanding is necessary before considering costly management options. Backflow is thought to occur when Peltier Lake?s surface elevation rises above Centerville Lake?s after rain events due to Peltier Lake?s much larger watershed and drawn out time of concentration. If Peltier Lake backflow into Centerville Lake is a problem that requires management (i.e. flow cutoff or reroute), flow rates and elevations are required for project design. Should the lakes be recommended for disconnection, there are two known potential options for maintaining outlet flows from Centerville Lake that, along with any other possible scenarios, need to be analyzed. This is the most important and next achievable step identified for improvement of Centerville Lake in the Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake TMDL Implementation Plan.

Necessary repairs include stabilization of streambanks and construction of best management practices to reduce flow velocities, substantially decreasing sediment and phosphorus delivery to Peltier Lake while improving in-channel habitat for fish and macroinvertebrates. This study would provide a detailed analysis of the extent and severity of the problems, recommend BMPs and engineered solutions, and establish expected resource benefit outcomes. 2) Highway 61 Ponds Improvement Scoping: RCWD operates a pair of wet ponds on Ramsey Washington Judicial Ditch 1 (RWJD1) in White Bear Township that provide sediment capture and general water quality treatment for flows to Bald Eagle Lake. These ponds were constructed in the early 1990's and have received little maintenance since that time. RCWD intends to complete maintenance of the outlet structure and removal of accumulated sediment in the very near future. While planning for this work, RCWD intends to complete this study to evaluate options for improvement of the function and efficiency of the existing facility through retrofit enhancements, expansion, or redesign. 3) Johanna Creek Carp Barrier: RCWD continues its work to reduce the viable population of common carp in the Long Lake - Lino Chain of Lakes system. Management of the primary spawning route through Rice Creek has been successful and monitoring has shown that carp are now migrating through Johanna Creek to a series of wetlands to spawn. Installation of a physical barrier here will effectively block access to this new spawning area and lead to improved water quality in Long Lake.

Funds will be used to leverage local funds to install 5-10 BMP's that will provide an estimated 105 pounds of Phos and 95 Tons of Sediment reduction in the Sand Creek and Credit River watersheds. Examples of BMP's include conservation cover, grassed waterway, grade stabilization, water and sediment control basin, tree and shrub establishment, and streambank stabilization. One of the BMP installations will also include a stormwater retrofit project for the City of Savage. The existing stormwater pond does not meet current water quality standards, so project funds will be used to reconstruct the facility as necessary to meet current water quality treatment standards. Runoff and downstream flood reductions will occur as a secondary benefit on BMP installations. Standards and specifications in Section IV of the USDA NRCS FOTG will be used to ensure effectiveness and a minimum 10-year life expectancy for all BMP's, except the stormwater retrofit project which will utilize the Minnesota Stormwater Manual or other industry-accepted guidance and have an effective life of at least 15 years. In addition to TACS, a portion of grant funds ($28,500) will be used to support a Credit River Streambank Assessment. The City of Savage will work with partner agencies to complete the study because stretches of Credit River are experiencing significant near-channel erosion, including streambank, bluff, and ravine erosion, resulting in water quality degradation.

Recent advanced modeling by the MN DNR and Metropolitan Council of aquifer supplies, in conjunction with predicted demand, indicate the major metropolitan area aquifers are currently subject to extraction rates that exceed recharge. Simply stated, we are mining our groundwater. In addition to supply concerns, several surface waters within the metro area, most notably White Bear Lake, are experiencing impacts due to reduced aquifer levels associated with excessive groundwater extraction. Sustainable groundwater strategies will need to influence both the supply and use side of the water budget. Supply can be increased through efforts that infiltrate precipitation into the soil; use can be decreased by implementing efficiencies, and the use of alternative water sources. The Metro Conservation Districts (MCD) propose to provide groundwater conservation planning protocols to member districts for implementation on large-acreage, public campuses (e.g. public schools, hospitals, and government facilities). These areas are targeted due to their educational benefits, likelihood of stakeholder buy in and implementation, magnitude of potential impact, and opportunity for school district-wide implementation.

This highly-used regional resource is home to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve, the largest park in the Anoka County Parks system, tallying over 700,000 visits per year. Unfortunately, Centerville Lake experiences frequent and severe algae blooms, and needs assistance to meet state water quality standards and user expectations. The lake is listed as impaired for excess nutrients; average summer phosphorus and chlorophyll-a concentrations exceed the state standards by a factor of two. Facilities at the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve are often closed due to health concerns associated with blue-green algae blooms. Much work has been done over the past 15 years to diagnose and control nutrient loading. Following the completion of the TMDL study, multiple watershed phosphorus management projects were completed, including standard stormwater BMPs (e.g. raingardens, biofiltration basins, and wet ponds) and a significant stormwater reuse project. Despite these efforts, water clarity remains poor, and algae blooms continue. More recently, the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) completed a series of diagnostic studies to better understand the sources and magnitude of nutrient loads. These studies show that internal phosphorus loading - specifically, sediment-phosphorus release - is the primary nutrient source for Centerville Lake, and the primary driver of the severe algae blooms. The Rice Creek Watershed District is proposing to control internal phosphorus loading by inactivating sediment phosphorus with aluminum sulfate (alum). The proposed alum treatment targets the largest source of phosphorus to Centerville Lake, and is the most impactful and cost-effective tool available to restore water clarity in Centerville Lake. Factors that could negatively affect the longevity of the proposed alum treatment were assessed (i.e. common carp and watershed loading), and found to be negligible. The proposed project will provide control of sediment phosphorus release and result in attainment of state water quality standards. Most importantly, the proposed project will control nuisance algae blooms, restoring an important and highly-used regional resource.

Hugo is requesting funding to construct a stormwater reuse system that will reconnect irrigation systems, serving 22 acres along County Rd 8 (CSAH 8), resulting in improved surface water quality through phosphorus reduction, decreased groundwater demand, and volume reduction of stormwater for downstream ditch systems and Peltier Lake. The reuse system will pump water from a stormwater pond to existing irrigation accounts, conserving 14 million gallons of water annually. The City will be responsible for the ownership, operations, and maintenance of the reuse system. The existing stormwater pond discharges to Judicial Ditch 3 and connects into Clearwater Creek and Peltier Lake. Peltier Lake is impaired for phosphorus. In RCWD 2020 Plan, water quality of Peltier Lake is noted as an issue and identified as a capital improvement. The CSAH 8 reuse project will provide water quality benefits by removing phosphorus and provide stormwater volume reduction, positively impacting water quality and levels in Peltier Lake. Both outcomes align with RCWD goals. The City has completed several studies in preparation for this project that includes a water balance, water quality testing, and construction cost estimates. The project is feasible, and water quality is within the MPCA's recommendations for stormwater irrigation. The City has received $100,000 from RCWD and $50,000 from Metropolitan Council to be used towards this project and will collaborate with RCWD and MCES throughout the design and construction. The project's location is adjacent to the Water's Edge and Clearwater Cove Stormwater Reuse systems, developments that include one of the first single-family residential stormwater irrigation systems in the State of MN.

The Blue Earth River Basin needs to reduce fecal coliform from wastewater treatment facilities, rural household septic systems, livestock, wildlife and pets. Most livestock manure is used appropriately as a fertilizer and soil amendment, however the sheer volume of manure produced in the watershed means that runoff of even a very small percentage of what is applied may contaminate surface waters. The MN River Basin needs land use practices that reduce the amount of sediment and nutrients reaching the river. Installation of riparian buffers, streambank stabilization, water storage, surface tile intakes, and crop residue management help to reduce sediment transport. On farmland, conservation tillage and increased crop diversity including pasture can reduce sediment loss considerably. Crop nutrient management plans keep nitrogen and phosphorus out of waters, as do improvements in private and public wastewater treatment systems. In cities and developing areas, stormwater management and construction erosion control prevent sediment runoff. The Urban Outreach Specialist will also work directly with wellhead protection issues. Groundwater and drinking water source protection will be one of the focus areas of the position, those concerns are also directly impacted by the BMPs promoted through the remaining three staff positions.

Located in northwestern Anoka County within the Upper Rum River Watershed Management Organization (URRWMO), the Lake George Improvement District (LGID) was formed to tend to the lake's diminishing water quality and problematic invasive species. In the last decade, Lake George's lake grade according to Met Council's lake water quality report card has dropped from a consistent A grade to a consistent B grade. The Rum River WRAPS task force has preliminarily identified Lake George as a protection concern. The WRAPS will not, however, provide a specific implementation plan to address this lake resource. In effort to halt, and hopefully reverse the trend of declining water quality the LGID intends to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the lake and throughout the watershed. Before this can be done, project opportunities and their associated costs and benefits must be ascertained. The purpose of this project is to identify water quality improvement opportunities throughout the watershed to achieve water quality management goals. SWAT, PTM App. or other suitable models will be used to model the watershed and the effect of selected BMPs within it. The model will be calibrated with hydrology and water quality monitoring data to ensure the highest degree of accuracy possible.

Additionally, buckthorn removal paired with native plantings will allow sunlight to penetrate the overgrown understory and promote the growth of low-lying, deep-rooted vegetation along previously bare stream banks and riparian areas. This project builds on concurrent work by Anoka County Parks to replace a trail crossing at the downstream end of the project reach to improve aquatic organism passage and suitability for recreation.

The projects must use practices demonstrated to be effective, be of long-lasting public benefit, include a match, and be consistent with total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plans, watershed restoration and protection strategies (WRAPS), or local water management plans or their equivalents. A portion of this money may be used to seek administrative efficiencies through shared resources by multiple local governmental units. Up to 20 percent of this appropriation is available for land-treatment projects and practices that benefit drinking water.","This targeted program will cost-share the sealing of up to 125 of 2,354 suspected high priority unused wells identified within DWSMAs, with higher priority going to larger diameter, deeper, and older wells.",,,,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",,,"Members for Anoka CD are: Glenda Meixell, Jim Lindahl, Mary Jo Truchon, Sharon LeMay, Steve Laitinen",,"Anoka CD","Local/Regional Government",,,"In Anoka County, 330,000 residents (94% of the population) depend on groundwater for drinking water, using about 12 billion gallons annually. This use is at risk from tens-of-thousands of old wells (residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial) that are unused and unsealed. These wells pose a significant health and safety hazard to Anoka County well water users by creating a direct, unmaintained conduit that can introduce contaminants (e.g. pesticides, nutrients, heavy metals, salts, hydrocarbons, and pathogens) into groundwater supplies. Moreover, the highly permeable surficial sands of the Anoka Sand Plain are believed to be a significant source of groundwater recharge for several of the major aquifers that supply the water needs throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. As such, protection of Metro Area groundwater supplies requires protection of Anoka County recharge areas. We're helping to solve this problem by using this grant to offer cost-share funds of 50-75% to incentivize landowners to hire MN Department of Health licensed well sealing contractors to seal unused wells. Due to the large-scope of the problem, we're proposing to prioritize and target well sealing cost-share promotion. Unused wells within Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs), those that are deep and intersect multiple aquifers, and those that have the earliest original installation date will be targeted. DWSMAs represents about 75% of all drinking water use in Anoka county and according to a recent Anoka County Public Health and Environmental Services (ACPHES) study, at least 2,354 properties in Anoka County DWSMAs are known to have a high potential of having an unused/unsealed well. Our goal is to seal up to 125 high priority unused wells, which we expect to abate about 5% of the problem within DWSMAs. To maximize the benefits secured from limited funds, we'll promote cost-share funds to landowners primarily through targeted mailings.

Active channel incision and erosion within the ravine has caused large amounts of sediment to be deposited under the bridge at CR 6 such that the road is frequently flooded and sediment has to be removed several times a year. The accumulated sediment is course particulate with most of the suspended sediment going into the Minnesota River immediately downstream. Goals of the project are to: - Reduce sediment export to the Minnesota River - Reduce sediment maintenance needs at CR6 - Control property damage to land owners from ravine erosion and headcutting Addressing erosion and sediment from near channel sources like Quarry Creek is important.

RIM easements are selected to meet local identified water quality goals within the larger scope of Minnesota's clean water efforts. The long-term evaluation of clean water fund projects will be monitored as part of the state's intensive watershed monitoring strategy. RIM easements are subject to ongoing inspection to ensure compliance for the duration of the easement in accordance with established guidelines. ",,,,,,,,,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","State Government"," This program is a part of a comprehensive clean water strategy to prevent sediment and nutrients from entering our lakes, rivers, and streams; enhance fish and wildlife habitat; protect groundwater and wetlands. Specifically the Riparian Buffer Easement Program targets creating buffers on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, except wetlands. Through the Reinvest in Minnesota Program (RIM) and in partnership with Soil and Water Conservation Districts and private landowners, permanent conservation easements are purchased and buffers established. In 1986, the Reinvest in Minnesota Resources Act was enacted to restore certain marginal and environmental sensitive agricultural land to protect soil and water quality and support fish and wildlife habitat. Utilizing the RIM conservation easement program, conservation easements on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, are purchased. Lands that were targeted were new or existing USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts with cropping history. Participating landowners receive a payment to retire land in agricultural production and to establish permanent buffers of native vegetation that must be at least 50 feet where possible and no more than 100 feet.Buffer strips of native vegetation will be established on the above easement acres, all of which are adjacent to public waters. The program is targeted to critical CRP acres so these areas would be permanently protected instead of enrolled in short-term easements. These buffers slow and prevent sediment from entering lakes, rivers and streams, reduce hydrologic impacts to surface waters and increase infiltration for groundwater recharge. Minnesota currently has just over 200,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The buffer initiative compliments other programs, both existing and yet to be developed, over the next 25 years. A statewide sign up began Dec. 1, 2009.

These approaches are complimentary to the Rum River?s state recreational designation and surrounding parklands, while addressing the 35 ft tall slopes. The project will reduce pollutants by 128 tons of sediment and 128 pounds of phosphorus annually. Other benefits include aquatic life diversity and abundance, and improved drinking water. This project is immediately upstream of the Twin Cities drinking water intakes. As a secondary benefit, this project helps protect a highly visible historic site. Woodbury House, on the adjacent parcel, was built in 1857 and overlooks the rivers? confluence. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and includes a historic cobblestone trail located immediately above the project site. The city plans separately-funded measures to protect the historic features, but those measures rely on the riverbank first being stabilized. This project site has exceptional value to the community & is an opportunity to showcase river stewardship. Visible from across the river, there is a city park with replica historic bandshell - the community?s ?Gathering Place.? The project cost of $1,261,025 will be paid by $252,205 from the City of Anoka and $1,008,820 from Clean Water Funds.

With this fact in mind, the Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance, or GBERBA, has been working towards the adoption of beneficial practices and projects in both agricultural and urban landscapes to reduce the amount of sediment entering surfaces waters.GBERBA's two prong approach aims to target riparian and bluff areas that are vulnerable to erosion and gullies. First, for agricultural practices, this project will target practices such as vegetative buffers, waterways, terraces, gully head protection structures, and water and sediment control basins in key positions on the landscape. These practices have been proven to not only reduce the loss of sediment to surface waters, but also reduce the impacts other pollutants.This project also targets urban stormwater projects in smaller communities that typically do not have regulatory requirements for stormwater like larger cities. Practices such as rain gardens, pervious pavers, stormwater bioretention areas, and bio-swales will be implemented to trap sediment and pollutants before they enter surface waters and increase infiltration of strormwater runoff.",,,,,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Kay,Clark,,,,,,"507-831-1153 x3",kay.clark@windomnet.com,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Faribault, Freeborn, Jackson, Le Sueur, Martin, Waseca, Watonwan",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/slowing-erosion-greater-blue-earth-river-basin,,,"Nicole Clapp",No

This project will stabilize approximately 500 linear feet of Mississippi River bank. The project designs will use bioengineering techniques whenever possible to create thriving near-shore habitat, naturalize the riparian zone, and complement the recently updated Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) rules. This project will result in the reduction of up to 2,000,000 lbs-TSS and 1,000 lbs-TP over the ten-year lifespan of the projects. To complete this work, we are requesting $236,000 in grant funds, which will be matched by $59,000 in local funds.

The lake gets year-round use from anglers pursuing bass, panfish and walleye. The undulating landscape and the lake itself are important groundwater recharge features for regional water resources including the Savage Fen, Eagle Creek water supply aquifers and the Minnesota River. The management of water quality in Prior Lake is top priority for the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District (PLSLWD) and other local partners. Both Spring and Upper Prior Lakes have poor water quality and are listed as impaired due to excessive nutrients. Lower Prior Lake is currently not listed as impaired. Reducing stormwater runoff volume and nutrient loading will help prevent this lake from further degradation. To this end, the PLSLWD in partnership with the City of Prior Lake and the Scott County SWCD conducted a study that identified retrofit stormwater management practices. This project proposes water storage and infiltration of stormwater runoff with the construction of 39 new raingardens, a pervious pavement area, and modification of outlet control structures for 11 City ponds. The City of Prior Lake has scheduled regular maintenance of these ponds in 2011 and this is the prime opportunity to collaborate with the City to complete these enhancements. Construction Plans for the 11 stormwater pond maintenance and enhancement projects will be completed in October 2010. In early 2011, in order to prepare final plans for the proposed raingardens and the permeable pavement area, the PLSLWD in partnership with the Scott SCWD will conduct outreach and present education materials to propose initial project designs.

In order to do so, the Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance (GBERBA) will contract with a vendor to complete a Geographic Information System (GIS) terrain analysis in subsheds of the Watonwan River watershed. This inventory will utilize the State of Minnesota LiDAR elevation datasets to create many GIS datasets by spatially analyzing the elevation data. Secondary datasets to be created include Critical Source Area, Specific Catchment Areas, Stream Power Index, Compound Topographic Index and Environmental Benefit Index. Multiple watershed maps to be developed will show priority ranking of best management practices and areas to target based on environmental sensitivity variables, such as slope, soil type, land use, distance to surface water, overland flow potential, stream gradient, bluffs and ravines, and erosion potential through this GIS analysis. This analysis will provide valuable data for future planning and prioritizing of projects when partnering with staff from Watonwan, Jackson, Martin, Cottonwood, Brown and Blue Earth counties, along with NRCS, SWCD, DNR, MPCA, and BWSR, and other partners. It will reveal opportunity areas to target to effectively and efficiently address the water quality impairments as listed on the MPCA 303(d) Impaired Waters List. The water quality impairments include excess turbidity, nutrients and bacteria, along with low dissolved oxygen. The precision conservation strategies involving LiDAR based DEM terrain analysis will prove its worth in future planning with conservation efforts tailored to the specific landscapes in the placement of practices within the critical source areas.",,,2016-01-22,2018-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Kay,Gross,"Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance","339 9th St",Windom,MN,56101,507-831-1153,kay.clark@windomnet.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Brown, Cottonwood, Jackson, Martin, Watonwan",,"Watonwan River",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/watonwan-watershed-precision-targeting-through-hydro-conditioning,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",No

The completion of the West Fork Des Moines River (WFDMR) Targeting and Prioritizing Endeavor will result in a set of data that is the most cost-effective for the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for all identified priority resources. The results will be expressed as the maximum reduction of a water quality contaminant (e.g. sediment, phosphorus, bacteria) at a priority resource (e.g. an impaired stream) for a given level of investment. This optimized BMP cost-effectiveness will then serve as the measuring component for project specific evaluation of BMPs. This project will include measuring water quality benefits from both existing conservation efforts and future targeted opportunities to implement BMPs.
