Reducing internal nutrient levels by annually removing excess weeds and debris from K. <br />L., funded by resident donations. <br /> <br />Reducing algae levels by stocking KL with 1000 predator fish (large mouth bass <br />fingerlings) in cooperation with DNR funded by KL resident donations. <br /> <br />6. Old Business <br />6.1. Illicit Discharge follow-up: Action: Sue Polka will try to find some appropriate <br />stencils/marking systems for the storm drains. Sue reported that she is working with a <br />Girl Scout who is proposing to use the Karth Lake watershed as a demonstration project <br />that will: stencil storm drains; recruit residents to “Adopt a Drain” to keep free of debris; <br />raise awareness of the need to keep nutrients our of gutters and storm drains through <br />flyers and yard signs. <br /> <br />6.2. Removal of Silt around storm drain exits - Discussion/Planning (Gary Gerding, <br />Sue Polka) Reference: Minutes of last meeting, October 9, 2019. We agreed that the <br />lake should first be protected from additional silt by grit chambers before trying to <br />remove existing silt. <br /> <br />6.2.1. Next steps towards removing accumulated silt from Karth Lake: Action <br />Requested: (Sue Polka, Shawn Tracy): Using the diagram below presented by Shawn <br />in our last meeting (see next page), and considering the watershed area drawn in by Gary <br />for Karth Lake, identify: 1. Which inlets are connected to which outflows and draw in <br />connections; 2. Where additional grit chambers should be installed before we consider <br />removing silt from the lake. Are there any plans to add these grit chambers? What <br />events/road conditions/etc. would trigger the installation of these grit chambers? <br /> <br />Response: That information is not available/determined at this time. RCWD and <br />Ramsey County do have funding for rain gardens to reduce nutrient inflow and are <br />recruiting a Master Water Steward. <br /> <br />6.3. Art Larsen Memorial Garden update - (Discussion/Plan) Maintenance and/or <br />improvement plans? Action Requested: Kathy: sources of labor for mulching and <br />edging. Sue: What is the length of the garden perimeter? Does the city have brick <br />supplies for edging? How much? Reponse: Sue will follow up. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
