Project Overview

This project will layer hydrologic, hydraulic, geomorphic, and pollutant loading analysis with existing countywide PTMApp outputs to identify the four highest priority areas for BMP implementation in an eastern Nicollet County ravine system experiencing dramatic mass wasting events. Three alternatives for each priority site will be presented, including an evaluation of water quality benefit, construction costs, and a cost-benefit summary.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Work completed as proposed. BMP Alternatives, priority locations and cost-benefit report completed by Houston Engineering (HEI). HEI conducted initial GIS and project data collection for analysis and model development, and stakeholder meeting was held along with site visits with the SWCD and Landowners. HEI met with landowners, Township representatives, on and off site to develop priority areas, process input and complete final report.
