The weather station portion of the project is to increase the accuracy of weather and road condition data to further refine the Chloride Use/treatment of Shakopee roads. Real-time information from a RWIS station can be used to adjust application settings. Approximately 39 tons (78,000) pounds of salt are used in each event. The city averages 30 events each winter. The City of Eden Prairie has similar weather stations and estimates a 5%-10% reduction in salt use.
Funding through this appropriation enhanced 4,745 acres of wetland habitat. Four wetland/shallow lake infrastructure projects were competed that enhanced 1,020 acres and and another project restored 50 acres. Wetland management actions (wild rice seeding, a significant drawdown, and a major large prescribed burn) enhanced 1,997 acres. Work by the Region 3 Roving Habitat Crew enhanced 1,678 wetland acres through work on prescribed burns, drawdowns, herbicide applications, and removal of woody vegetation.
