Lily Lake Phosphorus Reductions for Delisting
This project proposes to install a stormwater management practice that will reduce 30.18 lbs. total phosphorus discharging directly to Lily Lake from 15 acres of urban residential and institutional land uses. Following installation of the practice two alum treatments to Lily Lake will reduce annual internal loading by 120 lbs. pear year. Upon completion of these project, studies conclude in-lake total phosphorus of Lily Lake will meet state water quality standards and chlorophyll- ? and secchi depths will show positive responses and the lake can be considered for delisting from the impaired waters list.

(b) $16,000,000 the first year and $16,000,000 the second year are for grants to local government units to protect and restore surface water and drinking water; to keep water on the land; to protect, enhance, and restore water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams; and to protect groundwater and drinking water, including feedlot water quality and subsurface sewage treatment system projects and stream bank, stream channel, shoreline restoration, and ravine stabilization projects. The projects must use practices demonstrated to be effective, be of long-lasting public benefit, include a match, and be consistent with total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plans, watershed restoration and protection strategies (WRAPS), or local water management plans or their equivalents. A portion of this money may be used to seek administrative efficiencies through shared resources by multiple local governmental units. Up to 20 percent of this appropriation is available for land-treatment projects and practices that benefit drinking water.
Reduce 30 lbs. total phosphorus discharging directly to Lily Lake from 15 acres. Reduce annual internal loading by 120 lbs. pear year with alum. Upon completion of these activities Lily Lake should meet state WQ standards and be delisted.
Grant funds funded the installation of infiltration that reduced phosphorus discharging to Lily Lake by 30 lbs per year, and performed an alum treatment that reduced internal loading of phosphorus by 120 lbs per year. Lily Lake was removed from the state impaired waters list (delisted) in 2022.
