Rice Creek enters the City east ofI-35W at County Road I in the TCAAP site and meanders south to County Road H where it leaves the City heading west into Moundsview. The city also contains numerous small wetlands and several mamnade drainage ponds, some of which appear as natural water bodies today, As a general rule the neighborhoods located north ofI-694 have comprehensive storm sewer systems with curb and gutter, catch basins and piping which drain to man-made drainage ponds, ditches or natural wetlands prior to entering the lakes in the area, The commercial areas between Trunk Highway 51 and Lexington Avenue generally also have comprehensive drainage systems often including storm water treatment ponds prior to discharging into the public ditches or natural wetlands, The neighborhoods surrounding Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine generally do not have comprehensive storm sewer systems with treatment ponds therefor a large percentage of runoff in these neighborhoods enters the Lakes with little or no treatment currently. Most existing storm sewer systems discharge directly into the two lakes or area wetlands. 4
