Marine on St. Croix Green Infrastructure Stormwater Retrofits
This project proposes is to install nine (9) green infrastructure retrofits intercepting stormwater flows from 19.5 acres of high density urban land use to reduce 27.0 lbs. of phosphorus discharging to the Federally protected Scenic and Wild St. Croix River in the historic City of Maine on St. Croix.

[Projects and Practices 2020] (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 27.0 lbs. phosphorus from discharging to the St. Croix River through retrofitting 9 green infrastructure practices in the historic Marine on St. Croix to improve water quality on an impaired Outstanding Resource Value Water.
