2021 Metro WBIF - Miss River East (Dakota SWCD)
This project will provide technical assistance and project funding to design and install 2-3 stormwater retrofit practices (approximate number) to reduce nutrients and sediment or provide volume reductions. Practices installed may include gully stabilizations, infiltration basins, bioretention basins, or hydrodynamic separators and would be implemented through existing SWCD incentive programs. Practices will protect surface waters that receive stormwater discharge from urban land that does not have adequate stormwater treatment.

(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.
Project is estimated to have 0.5 lb of phosphorous reduction annually and 20,000 cubic feet per year of volume reduction annually over life of practice installed.
