accumulation was excavated, restoring the infiltration capacity that had been sealed. In <br />addition, a lift station was constructed to provide a secondary outlet for extreme events. The <br />new pond serves as a regional storm water treatment facility for the subwatershed. <br />5.1.4South Owasso Boulevard <br />As a part of the 2006 South Owasso Boulevard Reconstruction project, the City con <br />the improvements for the storm water runoff being discharged into Ladyslipper Park. <br />Between Rice Street and Western Avenue, approximately 160 acres <br />residential property drain into Lake Owasso through a drainage ditch that cuts thr <br />Ladyslipper Park in a north south direction. This ditch was cons <br />access to Lake Owasso. In the 1991 Lake Owasso Survey report, it <br />removal efficiency of this system is very limited. Only 30 to 50% of su <br />of the total phosphorus were removed before being discharged int <br />In 2005, the City constructed a two cell pond system north of ththree <br />wetland/ biofiltration basins south of the road. These basins incre to <br />81% and Phosphorus removal to 52%. This is a significant improvesubwatershed <br />area. <br />5.1.5William Street Pond <br />In 2011, a retrofit project on the William Street <br />Pond was completed in partnership with CRWD. <br />The project featured sediment removal, a new <br />baffle device and pond inlet pipe, and two iron- <br />enhanced sand filtration benches. The iron- <br />enhanced sand filtration benches provide for <br />removal of dissolved phosphorus (a fraction of <br />the total phosphorus not removed through <br />sedimentation). The benches, which consist of <br />sand mixed with iron filings, remove the <br />dissolved phosphorus via surface sorption to <br />oxidized iron. <br />William Street Pond <br />(Source: Capitol Region Watershed District) <br /> <br />5.1.6Lake McCarrons Alum Treatment <br />In October 2004, an aluminum sulfate (alum) treatment was applied to Lake McCarrons in <br />order to improve the poor lake water clarity caused by excessive nutrients available for algae <br />growth. The alum bonds with phosphorus present in the water which forms a non-toxic, white <br />floc which descends to the bottom of the lake. The floc remains <br />the phosphorus unavailable for algae overgrowth. The floc also co <br />phosphorus adhered to the sediment at the bottom of the lake. <br />5.1.7Villa Park Wetland Restoration <br />The Villa Park Wetland System is a constructed wetland located u <br />McCarrons to provide stormwater treatment. Water quality monitoring and dayses <br />completed for CRWD suggests that the wetlands have become a source of diss <br />phosphorus to Lake McCarrons and the sediment removal efficiency of the system has <br />significantly decreased over the past couple decades.
