Water Harvest and Reuse at Oak Glen Golf Course
Brown's Creek Watershed District, City of Stillwater and Oak Glen Golf Course will work together to harvest and reuse stormwater for golf course irrigation, reducing thermal loading to Brown?s Creek, a designated trout stream listed as impaired due to high thermal and total suspended solids loading, and reduce phosphorous loading to Lake St. Croix, impaired for excess nutrients. The primary goals are to reduce phosphorous loading to Brown?s Creek and the St. Croix River/Lake St Croix by 67-124 pounds per year and thermal loading to Brown?s Creek by 0.4 degrees Celsius.

for grants 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 these funds may be used to seek administrative efficiencies through shared resources by multiple local governmental units.
Reduce phosphorous loading to Lake St Croix by 78 pounds per average precipitation year and thermal loading to Brown's Creek by 0.4 degrees Celsius. Reduce groundwater use by 15 million gallons per year.
This project has resulted by installing a stormwater reuse system to reduce phosphorus loading to Lake St. Croix by 78 pounds per average precipitation year and thermal loading to Brown's Creek by 0.4 degrees Celsius, and reduce groundwater use by 15 million gallons per year.
