Lake City Stormwater Improvement Project
The goal of this project is to reduce peak stormwater flow discharge, sediment and phosphorus from directly entering Lake Pepin by installing two stormwater infiltration basins treating a total of 15.8 acres of developed residential and commercial area in Lake City in conjunction with the Highway 61 road reconstruction project scheduled for 2020 reducing total phosphorus by 13 pounds per year and sediment by 2 tons per year.

for grants to protect and restore surface water and drinking water; to keep water on the land; to protect, enhance, and restore water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams; and to protect groundwater and drinking water, including feedlot water quality and subsurface sewage treatment system projects and stream bank, stream channel, shoreline restoration, and ravine stabilization projects. 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 these funds may be used to seek administrative efficiencies through shared resources by multiple local governmental units.
Two bio-infiltration basins will be installed reducing total phosphorus by 12.9 (lbs/yr) total suspended solids by 4,387 (lbs/yr) in this HSPF subbasin, and peak flow reduction by 83% (16.8 ac-ft/yr) within this direct drainage area.
This project has resulted in an estimated annual reduction of 16.83 acre-feet/year volume reduced; 12.9 pounds/year phosphorus; 4,387.9 pounds/year total suspended solids.
