Surface Water Management Plan Update and Non -Degradation Analysis —City of Maplewood, Minn. Ron served as project manager for updating the overall Plan and Dan Cazanacli was the lead technical resource for preparing the non -degradation analysis. Two of the key deliverables were formal establishment of the volume control requirements they have been implementing since 2003 and incorporation of the recommendations of the non -degradation analysis. Both efforts included coordination with three watershed districts (Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District, Capital Region Watershed District and Valley Branch Watershed District). Second Generation Water Resources Management Plan — Burnsville, Minn. This Plan included update of the city-wide hydrologic model and provides consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan. It also established a 0 15- year, $25 million ClPfor addressing goals and activities of more than 24 79 -IJ -_ implementation topics. The Plan fulfills much of M PCA's BIDDIES Phase 11permit program requirements. f Kinnickinnic River Watershed Management Plan- River Falls,Wis. LE� This effort was a comprehensive water quality and hydrologic study of 64 v. R• f ^" square miles tributary s. The Kinnickinnic River —one routwarea highest quality trout waters. The Plan addressed the impacts of urban runoff pacts the rban runoff GLL and included thermal monitoring, water quality monitoring, modeling of urban _ 44 runoff and groundwater assessment. The implementation plan was designed to accommodate development while protecting the cold water resource from the thermal and total suspended solids influence of runoff. Engineering standards and developer guidelines focused on mimicking 12% impervious through land use controls and infiltration practices. Best Management Practices and Special Studies Target Field Station Water Reuse — Hennepin County, Minn. The Target Feld Station Stormwater Reuse System is an innovative stormwater collection system that captures snowmelt and stormwater runoff from the upper level plazas, green roofs and light rail station bridge. The stormwater is collected in large cisterns that can provide up to 40,000 gallons of storage. From there, the stormwater is routed to the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (NERC), a nearby waste -to -energy facilitythat burns municipal wasteto generate energy. The HERC treats the stormwater and uses it in a variety of industrial processes. In total, the stormwater system will direct approximately one million gallons of stormwater runoff per year to the H ERC facility, which reduces the facility's overall demand on the municipal water supply. Grand Round Wheelock Pond Iron Enhanced Sand Filter Bench —St. Paul, Minn. This pond retrofit project included designing an iron enhanced sand filter bench into an existing stormwater pond to provide treatment for new impervious created by proposed regional trail and street improvements. This site was somewhat unique in that the retrofit treated water completely off-site form the immediate project area since the location had the abilityto treat a much larger contributing area. Challenges on this project included defining what hydraulic conductivity was to be used given conflicts in what the Minnesota Stormwater Manual (MPCA Manual) said versus what we found in a literature review and some other local designs. Ultimately, the watershed agreed with our findings that the rates in the M PCA Manual were substantially lower than desired. Edina Arden Park Streets and Morningside Streets— Edina, Minn. For these two recent street reconstruction project areas, we completed a study of the area and worked directly with watershed staff to identify what types of BMPs and treatment levels would help meet their goals and be eligible for cost -share funding.
