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.
