2021 Metro Lower MN South - City of Prior Lake
The Campbell Lake Regional Stormwater Assessment Project will identify opportunities for regional stormwater management practices within the Campbell Lake watershed. This watershed, where future development is expected to occur, constitutes the headwaters of Pica Creek. The Pica Creek corridor is an important local resource where the Scott WMO has installed successful water quality BMPs. The purpose of this project is twofold: to guide regional stormwater management as the area develops, and to protect the investment of public dollars already utilized to implement BMPs. The project will result in a study that will be used by the City of Prior Lake and the Scott WMO to develop stormwater management BMPs. Consolidating regional stormwater BMPs reduces the future maintenance burden on LGUs.

(Watershed Based Implementation Funding)(a) $13,591,000 the first year and $13,375,000 the second year are for performance-based grants with multiyear implementation plans 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.
The project will result in a completed study of the Campbell Lake drainage area. The study will guide stormwater management and future water quality BMP implementation as the drainage area is developed.
