2019 - Watershed Based Funding Metro (Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix WD)
Working with the City of Scandia will develop stormwater management plan and BMP design for Bliss neighborhood from 189 St. to 191st Street. Retrofit of infiltration and bio-filtration into work currently scheduled for fall of 2018.
The District will work with May Township to acquire an easement from 2 cooperative land owners and construct an infiltration basin to receive and treat current and future stormwater discharge from Panorama Avenue and 131st Street on Big Carnelian Lake.

$4,875,000 the first year and $4,875,000 the second year are for a pilot program to provide performance-based grants to local government units. The grants may be used to implement projects that protect, enhance, and restore surface water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams; protect groundwater from degradation; and protect drinking water sources. Projects must be identified in a comprehensive watershed plan developed under the One Watershed, One Plan or metropolitan surface water management frameworks or groundwater plans. Grant recipients must identify a nonstate match and may use other legacy funds to supplement projects funded under this paragraph.
Deliverables will be a feasibility study with related survey work for storm water and water quality management across the project area. Project will also include design and construction of 2 biofiltration basins with a combined volume reduction of 89,000 cf. annually as well as a combined 1.58 lbs reduction of phosphorus and 288 lbs. of TSS. Infiltration basin will be sized to contain a minimum of 22,000 CF of storage with reductions in TSS of 951 lbs. per year and nutrients of 5.23 lbs. of total phosphorus with final goal of containing 2+ year event from a 30 a. area. The basin will be connected to storm sewer constructed in conjunction with May Township road projects converting class 5 gravel roads to asphalt.
This project has resulted in an estimated annual reduction of 2.4 lbs of Phosphorus, 2.89 tons of Sediment, .3 acre-feet of Volume Reduced
