Big Marine Lake Stormwater Quality Improvements Phase I
This project proposes to treat 7.3 acres of stormwater flowing directly into Big Marine Lake with water quality BMPs that increase small storm retention by 6,111 cubic feet and reduces annual TP discharges by 9.9 lbs./year and TSS by 1,531 lbs./yr. Big Marine Lake is a high quality recreational lake with three public accesses and has recently been listed as nearly impaired for aquatic life. This first phase of projects identified in Big Marine Subwatershed Analysis treats the largest source of urban stormwater discharging to the lake.

(Projects and Practices)(b) $10,762,000 the first year and $11,504,000 the second year are for grants to local government units 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. Up to 20 percent of this appropriation is available for land-treatment projects and practices that benefit drinking water.
Retrofit 13 stormwater water quality BMPs to increase small storm retention by 6,111 ft? and reduce 9.9 lbs. TP and 1,531 lbs. of sediment from flowing to a highly valued metro area recreational lake that is nearly impaired for aquatic life.
