Marine on St. Croix Innovative Stormwater Management Implementation Phase 1
The Marine on St. Croix Innovative Stormwater Management Implementation is a partnership, formalized through an MOU, between Marine on St. Croix (MOSC) and the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD) to improve stormwater management in the most densely developed areas of the City on a neighborhood zone approach rather than site-by-site (parcel) approach for greater and more impactful results in accomplishing District and City stormwater management goals. This grant will facilitate the design and construction of a series of water quality improvements including 18 rain gardens, 1 bio filtration basin, and 1 sand iron filter on City right-of-ways or property in Marine on St. Croix.

The South Branch Wild Rice Sediment Reduction Project will implement 45 erosion control structures and 40 acres of filter strips to reduce sediment loading to the South Branch of the Wild Rice River in Becker County. Fully implemented, this project stands to reduce sediment loads leaving the project area by 26% and reduce TSS in the Lower Wild Rice River by 7%.
Through the installation of proposed practices, this project has resulted in an estimated annual reduction of 13 lbs of phosphorus, 4 tons of sediment, and 2 acre-feet of surface water runoff.
