" Targeting Conservation Practices to Reduce Sediment to the Whitewater and Zumbro Rivers","Olmsted Soil and Water Conservation District","Local/Regional Government","2012-12-10 13:35","The Whitewater River is one of Minnesota's most scenic and best loved rivers. The Whitewater's pools are home to brown, brook and rainbow trout, making the river one of the state's most popular trout fishing areas. Yet, water quality is of concern.  Abnormal rainfall events in Southeastern Minnesota have increased stormwater runoff which equates to increased flows, erosion and sedimentation into the Whitewater and other local streams like the Zumbro River.
Sediment has been the leading factor affecting the water quality of streams in Olmsted County. In cooperation with local landowners, this project will implement conservation practices such as terraces, water and sediment control basins and grassed waterways. These projects will reduce peak flows which will help mitigate down stream flooding and sediment delivery to local rivers to the Whitewater and Zumbro Rivers.

In cooperation with funding from the Boy/Swft Lake Association and the Initiative Foundation Healthy Lakes and Rivers program, this project will result in Subsurface Treatment System (SSTS) compliance inspections on up to 290 properties on Boy Lake and 69 on Swift Lake. The project will also result in an SSTS record review and inventory of all properties on the two lakes. 
The Lake Association will provide volunteer coordination assistance for the project. A trained and certified SSTS professional inspector will be retained to conduct the inspections. Cass County Environmental Services Department provides logistical support, oversight and fiscal management of the project. Systems that fail to meet standards will be brought into compliance using procedures available in rule and ordinance.

"A Sedimentation Pond for  Carver County Ditch #4A","Carver SWCD","Local/Regional Government","2013-01-03 10:54","The purpose of this project is to install a sediment pond along County Ditch #4A to trap sediment and associated pollutants before entering into Bevens Creek which drains into the Minnesota River.  Carver County Ditch #4A recently went through a redetermination of benefits process and state law now requires a buffer strip one rod (16.5 feet) wide to be maintained along the top of the ditch bank.  The sediment pond, in combination with the buffer strip, will reduce the amount of sediments and pollutants that reach Bevens Creek.

The sediment pond will be 6000 square feet in area and 3 feet deeper than the existing ditch bottom.  As water moves over the sediment pond it will slow down and the suspended solids (sediment) will settle out to the bottom of the pond.  It is anticipated that the sediment pond will fill up in 3 – 5 years at which time it will be cleaned out.  Work will continue in the watershed to diminish upland erosion so the maintenance interval lengthens over time.","","","A 6000 square foot sediment pond, 3 feet deeper than the existing ditch bottom.  As water moves over the sediment pond it will slow down and the suspended solids (sediment) will settle out to the bottom of the pond, keeping it out of the Minnesota River.","","2010-01-01","2011-12-31","2010","$40000","$10000","","Clean Water Fund","In Progress","","A Sedimentation Pond for  Carver County Ditch #4A","","Mike","Wanous","","","","","","(952) 466-5235","mwanous@co.carver.mn.us","Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","","Carver","",""
