Project Details

Springbrook Creek in Anoka County is impaired for Aquatic Life, with excess nutrients from urban stormwater identified as a primary stressor. We propose to design and construct stormwater retrofits in Aurelia Park in Blaine, MN to reduce sediment and phosphorus loading to Springbrook Creek by at least 4.5 tons/yr and 19 lbs/yr, respectively. The proposed stormwater BMPs will treat water from a 51.5-acre urban catchment that is currently discharging directly to Springbrook Creek without any treatment. Proposed BMPs include construction of a new stormwater retention basin/reservoir to promote settling of pollutants, provide storage/rate control, and to enable stormwater reuse for irrigation of the park. This work also includes associated rerouting of stormwater pipes and installation of a pre-treatment sump and baffle. If unforeseen site conditions limit constructability of the proposed basin, alternate BMPs such as underground storage and filtration will be substituted as needed to meet stated water quality outcomes.
