Project Overview

Brown's Creek Watershed District, the MN DNR Trails and Countryside Auto Repair will partner to achieve significant thermal and sediment reductions in the biologically impaired Brown's Creek by installing one large scale rain garden with infiltration, one pretreatment chamber for sediment capture off of parking and drive lanes, and a two cell bio-filtration garden. The entire project site is intensely utilized, drains untreated water to Brown's Creek, and is located on the developing Brown's Creek State Trail. This project was identified as a high priority in the Brown's Creek TMDL Implementation Plan. The stormwater practices are designed to remove 2.3 tons of the total suspended solids, 12 pounds of total phosphorous, and retain at least 1 acre-foot of warm stormwater on the land per year.
