Forest Lake Enhanced Street Sweeping Plan
This project will develop an enhanced street sweeping plan for the City of Forest Lake that optimizes phosphorus removal from increasing sweeping frequency with the cost of additional sweeps. In addition, this project will identify road-specific street sweeping timing and frequency, quantify expected phosphorus load reductions, itemize costs of enhanced street sweeping, and recommend funding options to the City of Forest Lake. The goal of this project is develop a formal agreement between the Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District and the City of Forest Lake to implement enhanced street sweeping for at least 10 years.

$6,000,000 the first year and $6,000,000 the second year are for targeted local resource protection and enhancement grants and statewide program enhancements for technical assistance, citizen and community outreach, and training and certification, as well as projects, practices, and programs that supplement or otherwise exceed current state standards for protection, enhancement, and restoration of water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams or that protect groundwater from degradation, including compliance.
Implementation of an enhanced street sweeping plan in the City of Forest Lake is more likely if the Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District provides road-specific street sweeping frequencies, expected phosphorus load reductions, itemized costs of enha
Work was completed as per the approved work plan and included developing an enhanced street sweeping plan for the City of Forest Lake that optimizes phosphorus removal from increasing sweeping frequency with the cost of additional sweeps. They did a study how to implement enhanced street sweeping for the city of Forest Lake. Developed final street sweeping management plan with costs and recommended funding options. Completed board comments and additional report revisions. Continued working with City of Forest Lake/providing input on street sweeping plan. Next steps will be to work with the City of Forest Lake to use plan to implement enhanced street sweeping.
