2021 Metro WBIF - Mississippi East Watershed - Anoka CD
Devised in cooperation with implementing partners including watershed management entities and cities, this project will address three prongs of water quality improvement implementation by implementing outreach, targeting analysis, and BMP construction. This project will result in the production of three animated videos on watersheds, stormwater, and stormwater ponds as well as companion materials for the watershed and stormwater videos. This project will result in the completion of a subwatershed retrofit analysis for Centerville Lake in Lino Lakes, MN to identify and rank water quality improvement projects both in-lake and throughout the watershed. Finally, this project will result in the installation of 3-4 stormwater BMPs (likely bioinfiltration or filtration basins) to reduce TP loading to Springbrook and ultimately the Mississippi River. In total, these practices should reduce TP loading by 2lbs/year and TSS by 2 tons/year for at least 10 years.

(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.
Outreach - 3 animated videos; companion materials for 2 of the videos for youth and adults
Analysis - Centerville Lake SWA
BMP installation - 2 lbs-TP/year and 2 tons-TSS/year load reduction to Springbrook
