Carver Subwatershed Infiltration Study <br />The District's 2002 Work Plan includes conducting a study to determine the feasibility of using <br />infiltration systems to improve the water quality of Carver Lake. This study began after the completion <br />of the Carver Lake SLMP, which proposed infiltrating the first 0.25 inches of runoff across the entire <br />Subwatershed in order to reduce nutrient levels. Staff began work on this study in February. <br />Natural Resources Update <br />Wetland Bird Trai~zing: Staff are in the process of gathering information on the feasibility of beginning <br />a volunteer citizen monitoring program to collect bird or amphibian data that would complement the <br />biomonitoring program. It will also serve to encourage citizen involvement with the District. <br />6. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />Insurance Ouote <br />Cliff discussed insurance premium renewal issues. Premiums for existing coverage, such as workers <br />compensation and liability, have increased due to increases iri District payroll and budget.
