The City of Apple Valley is proposing a combination of two enhancements to achieve a 61 pound reduction in phosphorus. First is the installation of an iron enhanced sand filter to the banks of the pond. When water levels increase after rain events, water will flow through the filter before leaving the pond. Particulate phosphorus will be removed as water passes through the sand and dissolved phosphorus would chemically bind to the iron in the filter. The second enhancement is a phased application of aluminum sulfate (alum) to the pond. The alum application will be distributed over three years to maintain healthy pH levels in the pond. Sediments in the pond bottom store phosphorus that is periodically released into the water column when certain conditions occur throughout the year. Alum chemically binds and locks phosphorus in the pond sediments. Water clarity will improve after application of alum and promote growth of aquatic plants, improving wildlife habitat and aesthetics.

The Stormwater Runoff Improvement Project will be designed to manage the stormwater runoff from an impervious parking lot runoff, and roof runoff from a local church administration building and the church itself. Roof runoff from the administration building will be addressed through the installation of gutters and an outlet into a vegetated swale that improves water quality by infiltrating the first flush of storm water runoff and filtering the large storm flows they convey. The majority of annual precipitation comes from smaller rain events and the value of the swale comes from the filtrating and infiltrating nearly all of the stormwater runoff.

Over 70% of the region's population relies on groundwater resources for their source of water supply. Securing their safe and plentiful drinking water, while protecting the region's diverse water resources, requires coordinated and ongoing effort. Although the seven-county region is relatively water-rich, the region's steady population growth, increased groundwater pumping, changing land use, and variable weather and climate is challenging some communities' ability to meet current and future demand. Our rising dependence on groundwater for drinking water, particularly since 1980, has become a significant issue. In parts of the region, groundwater levels are declining. In some cases, it is affecting, or has the potential to affect, lake and wetland levels. Additionally, groundwater quality is a challenge that many cities are trying to address.
