Subwatershed 11: Blaine Policies: A.3, R.l, B.2, B.3, B.4, B.5, C.l, Co2, C.3, C.4, C.5, D.l, D.2,E.l, Eo2, E.3, E.5, and F Blaine has currently seen scattered development throughout this 10.82 sq mi subwatershed. Golden Lake is the only lake in this subwatershed and is located at the mouth. Large amounts of storage are present within the flat floodplains and wetlands of this heavily ditched subwatershed. Future runoff rates are not projected to increase significantly due to the relatively low percentage of uplands scattered through the area. Water quality is a concern as Golden Lake was the subject of a Clean Lakes Grant and several water quality improvements have been implemented. Subwatershed l2a: Peltier Lake Policies: A.3, B.l, B.2, B.3, B.4, B.5, C.l, C.2, C.3, CA, C.5, D.l, D.2, E.!, E.2, E.3, E.5, and F The tributary area of this subwatershed is approximately 4.6 sq mi and includes Peltier and Centerville Lakes. The water quality of these lakes is poor but recently completed diagnostic studies for the lakes indicate that Centerville has potential to be greatly improved. The lakes form the upper end of the large reservoir situated in the middle of the District. The lakes were created from low wetland areas by construction of the Peltier Lake Dam by the St. Paul Water Utility. Large tracts of undeveloped property will remain around the lakes due to the presence of Anoka County Regional Park and land ownership by the St. Paul Water Utility. The improvement of these lakes for enhancement of water-based recreational opportunity is one of the primary goals of the Upper Watershed Improvement Project which the District is pursuing based upon the results of the Clean Water Partnership study. 4-20 10/97 I J I I I I I I I III I I I I I I I
