2014 - Fish Point Park Retrofits
Lower Prior Lake was the target of a 2011-2013 diagnostic and feasibility study that identified projects and ranked subwatershed by phosphorus loading to the lake. This project is in a high loading subwatershed and includes three elements designed to reduce phosphorus loading and control rates and volumes of stormwater runoff: 1) retrofitting an existing ditch section with in-line iron-sand filters; 2) expanding storage capacity and creating wetland upstream of the ditch; and 3) installing a new control structure in an existing berm.

This project will reduce total phosphorus by an estimated 43%, or 40 lbs/yr, as well as an estimated reduction of 6 tons/yr of TSS.
This project resulted in a phosphorus reduction of 34 lb. per year
