This runoff receives limited treatment before discharging to Kohlman Creek, a waterbody impaired for excess nutrients. This project is one of many efforts RWMWD has undertaken to improve the water quality of Kohlman Lake and the downstream waterbodies. The Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) is responsible for the protection and restoration of the water quality of 20 lakes and 5 creeks within its boundary. Permit and voluntary cost share programs serve to slowly redevelop the watershed to the benefit of these water bodies. However, additional projects are needed, not only to help meet water quality goals but to implement green infrastructure in areas that need extra restoration and protection. This effort results in one of those projects and also works with a large commercial property in the creation of future stewards of the watershed district that can help to carry on RWMWD?s mission and promote its work. RWMWD is proposing to install 2 tree trench systems and 5 rain gardens and will remove about 40 parking stalls (a reduction of 6,675 sf in impervious area).

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.

",,,,,,,,"Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization","Local/Regional Government","At 410 acres, Lake Owasso is the largest lake in the Grass Lake Water Management Organization (GLWMO) and one of the most pristine. Maintaining the lakes water quality is a priority for the GLWMO. A long urbanized area along Aladdin Street in Roseville currently lacks stormwater features to remove pollutants and reduce water volume. The rainwater from this area drains directly to a wetland which is hydrologically connected to Lake Owasso. Adjacent to the residential area is a 0.5 acre parking lot which drains into a ditch which eventually enters the same wetland. The rainwater that runoffs from the parking lot also lacks treatment facilities, and due to an extreme change in grade, is causing major erosion problems. In a cooperative effort, the Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization, Ramsey Conservation District and City of Roseville came up with a solution. The parking lot runoff will be re-routed so it enters the adjacent residential stormwater conveyance system. A bio-infiltration basin will then be installed to capture and treat the combined rainwater runoff from both sites. This bioinfiltration basin will annually remove an estimated 864 lbs of sediment, 2.5 lbs of phosphorous, and 10.88 lbs of nitrogen, which would have otherwise entered the wetland.

",,150000,,,,,,"Rice Soil and Water Conservation District","Local/Regional Government","The Cannon River Watershed is a diverse watershed from the standpoint of topography, land use, and land cover, but a central issue of concern is increased sedimentation and turbidity within the river. One of the best ways to keep sediment from entering the Cannon River is to install vegetative buffers on the smaller tributaries in the upper reaches of the watershed. This project is important as it aims to help identify strategic locations where buffers are needed and to assist landowners to install buffers that will directly help reduce sedimentation within the watershed. Doing so will help the watershed work towards its goal of lessening the turbidity impairment for the Cannon River. The Cannon River Watershed Partnership (CRWP) began a project a few years ago to map the land use in riparian areas for a few of the counties of the watershed. This data is important for Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) within the watershed in order to target the most effective places in the landscape for buffers and other conservation practices. One objective of this project is to complete the mapping project for Waseca and Le Sueur Counties, which will result in the majority of the watersheds riparian areas being mapped. This project will also provide incentives to landowners in Rice, Goodhue, Waseca, and Le Sueur Counties to install buffers and to sign up for conservation programs such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to provide long term protection and buffers of streams within the watershed. Currently, more than 100 acres of new buffers are already enrolled to be installed because of this project. The Rice SWCD is the lead for this project, in collaboration with its neighboring SWCD partners and the CRWP.

","This project funded implementation of 32 agricultural best management practices including water and sediment control basins, grade stabilization structures, and cover crops in the Cannon River Watershed. The work reduced loading of nitrogen (1548 pounds), phosphorus (257 pounds), and sediment 1560 tons). A discrepancy between proposed and reported phosphorus was due to an issue with converting the estimated phosphorus value between two models. Funds paid for establishing a soil health team and monitoring cover crop implementation; outreach to absentee landowners and field days for local officials; natural shoreline and septic system inventories; and terrain analysis to support use of watershed models and tools. Funds also covered costs of staff time for technical and engineering work. Most work was done in priority areas and addressed surface water quality, a priority issue in the Cannon River Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan. Work was completed with a one-year grant extension due to allow time for administrative reporting and final project completion.

Properly sealing these wells is one of the most important things landowners can do to protect our groundwater. Crow Wing County, in cooperation with the municipalities within the County, the Pine River watershed, and the Mississippi-Brainerd Watershed, plan to continue its successful well sealing program that will use a ranking criteria to seal unused / abandon wells up to a maximum of $1,000 in cost-share funds per well. The total amount of funding requested is $30,000 which is estimated to allow for the sealing of 80-100 wells. Cost-share well sealing will be ranked by the following criteria: 90% for wells in the Pine River Watershed and Mississippi-Brainerd Watershed in surficial sand aquafer; 75% for those not in the Pine River watershed or Mississippi-Brainerd Watershed, but within a surficial sand aquafer in Crow Wing County; 50% for any other wells sealed in Crow Wing County.

To address this risk in the region, there needs to be an increase in the use of nitrogen best management practices and agronomic rates of nitrogen need to be fine-tuned to balance production with environmental degradation. In addition, potential point sources of nutrient contamination in groundwater need to be addressed wherever possible. This project will have three components that will address these needs. 1) This project will fund incentive payments for the use of nitrogen Best Management Practices (BMPs). Use of the University of Minnesota's BMPs for nitrogen fertilizer in the region is known to reduce the risk of nitrogen escaping the soils and into the drinking water supply of the area. Incentive payments will be given to promote the adoption of the University of Minnesota nitrogen rates to meet crop needs and for the use of split nitrogen applications at University of Minnesota rates. 2) This project will fund replicated on-farm nitrogen plots. These plots could be a nitrogen rate, timing, source or placement plot. These advanced plots provide producers with much needed local nitrogen fertilizer information that is connected to soil types and crop uptake needs in Southeastern Minnesota. These plots would be used to support the recommendations from the University of Minnesota and continue to show that the U of MN nitrogen recommended BMPs remain the most profitable for this area of Minnesota. 3) This project will use cost share funding for local well sealing.

However, additional projects are needed- not only to implement green infrastructure in areas that need extra restoration and protection, but also to foster new relationships between citizens and the RWMWD to rally together in a common goal to the benefit of their water resources. This effort results in projects, but also in the creation of future stewards of the watershed district that can help to carry on the RWMWD's mission, and promote its work. The RWMWD has identified schools as a primary target for stormwater management because of their large impervious surface areas with little or no stormwater treatment on site. During the last year and a half the District has inventoried and assessed its schools though a CWF Accelerated Implementation Fund grant to identify high priority sites where stormwater volume and pollution reduction projects can be most cost effective. Communication with principals, school district grounds staff and educators indicates that they have a strong interest in partnering with RWMWD to address water quality goals, but they do not have the budget to cover the costs of constructing BMPS. This project will offer grant funds to schools for BMP retrofit projects that will intercept, treat and infiltrate or filter runoff that will reduce total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS) loads to high priority areas water bodies within RWMWD. The goals of this project are to collaborate with and empower school districts, reduce barriers to the implementation of BMP projects and develop long-term partnerships to ensure that the Watershed District can continue to work with schools into the future to reduce stormwater run-off from their sites.",,,2016-01-22,2018-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Paige,Ahlborg,"Ramsey-Washington Metro WD",,,,,651-792-7964,paige.ahlborg@rwmwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Ramsey, Washington",,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/engaging-schools-retrofit-bmps,"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

For example some partial harvesting is difficult to distinguish from wind damage. Also time sequence is required to detect difference between forest harvesting and some land conversions such as pasturing. In the four target watersheds foresters monitored 34 sites for implementation of forest management guidelines and water quality best management practices. About 1/3 of the sites planned for monitoring in FY14 were completed; the remainder will be completed by Sept 31 2014. Contract work was delayed due to length of time required to get contract approvals. DNR is also developing a protocol for identifying level of risk to water quality due to timber harvesting frequency and distribution level of BMP implementation and additional watershed characteristics. The primary progress on this task was hiring a Research Analysis Specialist whose responsibilities will be focused development of this protocol. The hiring process was completed in early FY15 and significant progress will be made on this protocol in the coming year. Outreach development in FY14 included curriculum and video development for erosion control workshops to be held in the fall of 2014 and help creating a user-friendly field guide focused on forestry water quality BMPs which will be completed in FY15.",,,,41296,,,0.1,,,"The Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota Forest Resources Council work with forest landowners, managers and loggers to implement a set of voluntary sustainable forest management guidelines that include water quality best management practices (BMPs) to ensure sustainable habitat, clean water, and productive forest soils, all contributing to healthy watersheds. This project will monitor the implementation of these forest management guidelines and BMPs on forested watersheds in MN. Additionally, this project will identify timber harvest frequency and distribution as well as significant change to forest area including conversion of forests to other land uses, large fires, and blowdown events. An evaluation of the guideline implementation rates, watershed characteristics, and the frequency and distribution of forest change will be used to identify risks to water quality as well as strategies to reduce these risks, with the goal of maintaining high quality forested watersheds in MN. Outreach programs will be developed for forest landowners, managers and loggers throughout the target watersheds aimed at mitigating these risks such as improved implementation of specific BMPs. ","Forested watersheds in MN generally produce an abundance of high quality water. Much of our forested landscape is managed as productive forest land providing timber products as well recreational opportunities and abundant wildlife. Sustainable timber harvesting in combination with application of voluntary water quality BMP's has helped to maintain water quality in Minnesota's managed forest lands. However, risks to water quality in these landscapes still remain, with rates of BMP implementation, harvesting patterns, and watershed characteristics influencing the potential for impacts to occur at any given time or place. Also, recent trends in forestland development and loss in Minnesota has increased the risk of impacts to water quality in forested landscapes. Evaluation of BMP implementation and quantification of risk factors by watershed, combined with effective outreach programs, will allow for continued utilization of working forests while maintaining functioning, healthy watersheds that produce clean water.

East Goose Lake total phosphorus (TP) and Chlorophyll-a levels average nearly 4 times shallow lake State standards. High nutrient levels have resulted in a lake that is devoid of vegetation and dominated by algae, including blue-green algae. VLAWMO seeks funding to perform a 2-phase alum treatment on East Goose Lake, as the most cost-effective means to remove biologically available phosphorus from the water column in East Goose and also improve the unnamed wetland, locally referred to as West Goose, located directly downstream (62'0126). Studies conducted on East Goose Lake show that 88% of East Goose Lake's phosphorus loading is internal. Reports that provide more detail include the TMDL (Wenck, 2014) and feasibility study (Barr, 2018). A 91% overall reduction in phosphorus is needed to meet the MPCA TP standard for shallow lakes (Wenck, 2014). Historical accumulated inputs combined with external inputs led to the current internal load. East Goose Lake was the discharge point for the White Bear Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant from the 1930s to the 1960s. Addressing problems in East Goose lake are important because it is part of the headwaters of Lambert Creek, tributary to East Vadnais Lake, which is the drinking water reservoir for more than 430,000 St. Paul residents. This area is also identified by the MDA Source Water Protection Area Map as High Priority (See attachments). External loading has been and continues to be reduced in the subwatershed. Best management practices (BMPs) have been completed including stormpond additions (N = 7), a network of raingardens on County Rd. F, and major redevelopment BMPs.

DNR formed a project advisory team (PAT) for each of these areas to provide advice and feedback during the GWMA planning process. The project advisory team includes cities permitted users business people conservation districts and other state agencies. DNR completed preliminary assessments of technical information and shared that information with the PAT’s over a series of monthly meetings.

An increasing reliance on groundwater may not be a sustainable path for continued economic growth and development. The DNR is establishing three pilot groundwater management areas (GWMA) to help improve groundwater appropriation decisions and help groundwater users better understand and plan for future groundwater needs associated with economic development. The three areas include: the North and East Metropolitan Region, which includes all of Ramsey and Washington Counties, and the southern portion of Anoka County; the second area includes the Straight River, near Park Rapids; and the third area includes portions of Pope, Stearns, and Kandiyohi counties, known as Bonanza Valley, which includes the towns of Glenwood, Brooten, Belgrade, Elrosa and other communities. Clean Water Funds are used to hire project managers, meeting facilitators and support stakeholder engagement to inform and advise the planning process.","Water is crucial to Minnesota’s economies and ecosystems. Minnesota has a well-deserved image of having abundant water resources, nevertheless, water is not evenly distributed across the state. Despite our popular image, water is becoming scarce in parts of Minnesota. Unprecedented water use conflicts are arising between businesses, towns, and residents. In most areas of the state, we are not yet in “crisis” mode when it comes to water availability. We have time to address these issues and ensure that Minnesota’s economies and ecosystems have adequate water supplies in the future. Each of the selected pilot Groundwater Management Areas has been experiencing increased use and reliance on groundwater to meet public or private needs. The purpose of a groundwater management area is to organize resources and people to better understand the risk of overuse and contamination in these areas, and to develop a plan that the Department of Natural Resources can implement to ensure sustainable use of water.

Although SWAT was not developed to model BMP efficacy, methodologies are rapidly being developed to model practices such as sediment basins, seasonal ponding and tile inlet modifications. The SWA program has had quantifiable impact on water quality improvement efforts. During the first 36 months of funding, this process resulted in 63 analyses that are completed or underway and identified over 4,000 site specific BMPs. Many CWF project grant applications are the result of SWAs propelling cost effective projects onto local priority lists. MCD proposes to analyze an additional 15 subwatersheds that contribute to the degradation of locally identified high priority water resources. The analyses will identify the location and estimated cost/benefit relationship for BMPs, evolve with new technology, and share discoveries metro-wide.

The City approved the proposal and worked the Living Street objectives in Bartelmy-Meyer Project.

",,500000,,,,,,"Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District","Local/Regional Government","This project will replace a conventional 32 foot wide neighborhood street with a narrowed 22 -24 foot wide street that will include rain gardens, sidewalk, and boulevard trees. North St. Paul is using the term Living Streets to describe a new type of street that will eventually replace most of the city's existing streets. Living streets are narrower and have less pavement than existing streets. Reducing the width of existing streets reduces construction costs and assessments to residents. It allows room for the installation of rainwater gardens to treat stormwater. Where there is a need, bike trails and sidewalks may be installed. Unlike existing streets that are only designed for cars, living streets are designed with rainwater gardens and street-side trees to remove pollutants from stormwater before the water enters area lakes. Narrower streets and street-side trees also slow traffic, creating a safe environment for everyone. Bike trails and sidewalks make it easy for all residents to exercise and connect with neighbors. The Living Streets approach will result in dramatic reductions in stormwater runoff volume and nutrient loading for downstream water resources. The demonstration project will provide a local example of the street design intended to be used throughout the street replacement program in North St. Paul over the next 30 years. The District hopes this demonstration project will also encourage additional cities in the District to adopt this approach.

Since 1997, the Mille Lacs Lake Watershed Management Group has worked to preserve the water quality of Mille Lacs Lake. Five priority projects were identified by the Group partners in an effort to preserve water quality. Support for these projects was provided by a grant from the Clean Water Fund. In 2010, partners began implementing the projects. Five rain gardens were installed at two separate sites near Mille Lacs Lake. These gardens were designed to catch rain water in order to reduce direct runoff and trap sediment before it reaches the lake. Installation at one site was combined with an educational workshop that taught members of the public how to design and implement their own rain gardens. Also installed in 2010 were 150 feet of rock rip rap on the shoreline of an upstream lake. This fragile lakeshore had been experiencing erosion from overland runoff and wave action for years. Protection of the slope has eliminated the soil erosion and input to the lake. The remaining two projects will be installed in 2011.

Lake McCarrons is currently unimpaired, though excess phosphorus loading threatens water quality, aquatic health, and recreational use. The VPWS drains 753 acres to the northwest of Lake McCarrons. Despite previous phosphorus load reduction efforts, CRWD monitoring data indicates VPWS continues to export phosphorus to Lake McCarrons.

The first recommended action to dredge the wetland cells was completed by CRWD in September 2013. This project will implement the next phase, to reduce volume and pollutant loading to the wetland through Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as bio-retention basins or infiltration systems. In addition to volume reduction through infiltration, the system will be designed to store and reuse a portion of the runoff to irrigate the softball field. Up to 1.3 million gallons of potable water use will be eliminated by providing a storage tank to satisfy the estimated 4 acre-feet irrigation demand over the growing season.

The project includes a combination of structural water quality improvements in the SLV-10 subwatershed north of the lake, retrofits (including iron enhanced sand filtration) to the Silver Lake bioretention basin, small scale best management practices (BMPs) throughout the watershed, and educational signage in Joy Park. The elements of this project will reduce phosphorus loading to Silver Lake by a combined 15 pounds per year or 40% of the current watershed load. This project will lower phosphorus concentrations and increase the frequency with which Silver Lake meets applicable Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) and MPCA water quality standards. Silver Lake is a 76-acre shallow lake bordering the cities of North St. Paul, Maplewood, and Oakdale in the VBWD. The lake receives runoff from an approximately 350-acre watershed of primarily residential land use. The lake is heavily used for recreation, including swimming and fishing. This intensive use is due in part to the presence of two parks adjacent to the lake: North St. Paul's Silver Lake Park along the south shore and Maplewood's Joy Park along the north shore. Other recreational uses include waterskiing, canoeing, and aesthetic viewing. Water quality in Silver Lake over the past 10 years has declined, as witnessed by a statistically significant increase in phosphorus concentrations and decrease in water clarity. The most recent 10-year average of total phosphorus concentration in Silver Lake is worse than the applicable MPCA standard, and the lake may be listed as impaired due to nutrients. Silver Lake was included in the VBWD WRAPS study, which identified strategies to restore lake water quality. Several elements of this project are among those strategies identified in the WRAPS study. In addition to improving water quality, the project will provide secondary benefits to habitat, recreation, and education.

The key 2-year measurable milestones include: 107 # Reduction in Total Phosphorus through the installation of BMP 170 Ton reduction in Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 70 outreach contact hours completed 3 sub-watershed assessments 5 outreach documents or demonstrations / workshops completed, focus on Do It Yourself (DIY) projects 1 acre feet of wetlands restored (equivalent of 1-9 acres restored) 3 private septic systems brought into compliance or built 800 ft. of buffers installed (about 8-14 projects) 3 unused wells sealed 800 acres of Forest Stewardship Planning written 100 acres of Forestry Best Management Practices installed 1 livestock BMP installed 1 Nutrient Management Plan completed The first two years of implementing the Snake River Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan (Plan) will focus in-part on building the momentum for implementation. Some of this focus is to include outreach/education, sub-watershed assessments and building the pipeline of projects for implementation. This will involve the Kanabec SWCD partner hiring a new watershed staff (1 Full-Time Equivalent FTE), getting them up-to-speed working with our watershed partners. This watershed position is planned to entail 1/3-time watershed outreach / education, 1/3 project coordination and 1/3 technical work. Watershed coordination efforts are planned to be completed by existing Kanabec SWCD staff at 1/3 of an FTE. Fiscal administration work is planned for execution under Pine County. Three sub-watershed assessments are planned for completion within the first 2-years to aid in targeting areas where the funds can be most effective. All staff will work in building the pipeline of projects for implementation. A seasonal, shared services, Forester is currently employed in the watershed. The goal for this position is to have the Snake Partnership contributing ? of FTE salary and the member entities continuing to pay the other 1/2.

Through the Wakefield Lake TMDL process, implementation activities have been identified which include partnerships with the City of Maplewood to install BMPs in the watershed to directly benefit Wakefield Lake. RWMWD has researched, monitored and field tested the use of spent lime for stormwater quality treatment. Spent lime consists of calcium and carbonate and is a byproduct of the drinking water treatment process that has properties that allow it to bind with dissolved phosphorus. When water containing dissolved phosphorus contacts the lime material, calcium from the lime binds with the phosphorus and forms calcium phosphate which is a solid material and does not dissolve in the storm water, thus remaining within the treatment system. Although this is still an emerging concept, three years of monitoring a test spent lime system has shown promising results for the removal of both total and dissolved phosphorus. Total phosphorus removal through the system is approximately 60% and total dissolved phosphorus removal is approximately 70%. With the help of this grant source, RWMWD hopes to install a full scale spent lime filtration system on a City of Maplewood owned lot just upstream of Wakefield Lake at the southwest corner of Frost Avenue and Kennard Street to treat stormwater flow before it reaches the lake. This treatment system will achieve nearly 50% of the needed phosphorus external load reductions to Wakefield Lake as identified in the TMDL.

These floods have caused extensive damage to private property, public roads, and even loss of life. Storing stormwater higher in the watershed will reduce the amount and intensity of these extreme rain events. Ultimately lowering the volume and rate of storm event flows will cause less damage and improve safety. Just as important are the water quality benefits that will accrue and reduce sedimentation and improve the health of the Zumbro River. With a grant from the Clean Water Fund, Goodhue County Soil and Water Conservation District is partnering with Minneola Township and landowners within the watershed to install water impoundment structures in the uplands to reduce flooding and prevent soil erosion. The eight impoundment structures will be installed in a small sub watershed to the Zumbro River. The project will treat 198 acres of the 2,500 acre sub watershed. These new projects, along with 3 existing structures will address 14% of the water and sediment runoff in the sub watershed.
