This project will improve water quality in Bavaria, Grace, Jonathan, Waconia and Hazeltine Lakes and West Chaska Creek in Carver County. Sediment and phosphorus loading to these waterbodies will be accomplished by: 1) retrofitting stormwater pipes with water quality treatment devices, 2) modifying stormwater ponds and installing iron-enhanced sand filters, and 3) stream restoration efforts to re-meander approximately 1,100 linear feet of a ditched segment of West Chaska Creek.
This project will improve the water quality of Keller Lake in the City of Apple Valley by expanding an existing upstream pond and modifying the pond's outlet to provide additional water quality treatment. The pond outlet would be modified to provide extended detention and increase the residence time for smaller storm events. One public outreach event will be held during project design to inform residents of the proposed project and obtain feedback.

This phase of WMA acquisition protected 1,260.22 acres of prairie grassland, wetland, and other wildlife habitat as State Wildlife Management Areas open to public hunting. With these 9 acquisition we have exceeded our planned acres of 1030 by more than 230.22 acres. All of the acquired properties had wildlife habitat restored to the highest quality possible.
The goal of this project is to use the We Are Water MN exhibit and their technical knowledge in relationship-building and storytelling to increase community capacity for sustainable watershed management in the Cannon River, Cedar River, Mississippi-Headwaters, Mississippi-Grand Rapids, Mississippi-Twin Cities, Red Lake River, Rum River and St. Louis River watersheds.
Minnesota's twelve regional library systems, which encompass more than 350 public libraries in all areas of the state, can benefit from a portion of the Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Through State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education, each regional library system is eligible to receive a formula-driven allocation from the annual $2.5 million Minnesota Regional Library System Legacy Grant. Arrowhead Library System (ALS) is a federated regional public library system with central services located in northeastern Minnesota.
