  • Lake Smetana Water Quality Study Use Attainability Analysis (Updated from 2003)
    Lake Smetana Water Quality Study Use Attainability Analysis (Updated from 2003) Prepared for Nine Mile Creek Watershed District February 2020 4300 MarketPointe Drive, Suite 200 Minneapolis, MN 55435 952.832.2600 www.barr.com REPORT SUMMARY Lake Smetana Water Quality Study Use Attainability Analysis Update for Lake Smetana (2019) Prepared for Nine Mile Creek Watershed District February 2020 MANAGING LAKE SMETANA WATER QUALITY WORKING TO MEET DISTRICT GOALS Lake Smetana is a shallow, 56-acre lake within the “Golden Triangle” area of Eden Prairie, an industrial park surrounded by Interstate 494 and U.S. Highways 212 and 169. The lake is situated along the South Fork of Nine Mile Creek, approximately 1.3 stream miles downstream of Bryant Lake within the Nine Mile Creek watershed. With an average depth of 3 feet and maximum depth of 10 feet, the lake’s shallow nature and urbanized watershed pose water quality challenges. Although improved in recent years, water quality in Lake Smetana has historically been moderate to poor. The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (NMCWD), a local unit of government that works to solve and prevent water-related problems, conducted a study of Lake Smetana in 2019 to evaluate current water quality and identify protection and improvement strategies. Additional information on the current lake conditions, water quality challenges, and recommended management strategies are summarized in this project overview. Protecting and enhancing the water quality of the lakes within the Nine Mile Creek watershed is one of the primary goals of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. The NMCWD’s lake management program includes data collection (monitoring), assessment (e.g., studies), and implementation of projects and programs to protect and improve water quality and aquatic habitat.

    Surface Water Management Plan Water Resources | City of St. Louis Park Proposals are due 4:00 p.m. April 24, 2017 Executive Summary City of St. Louis Park Surface Water Management Plan Executive Summary Located in Hennepin County just west of Minneapolis, the 10.7-square-mile City of St. Louis Park is a fully developed suburban community. The population of St. Louis Park is approximately 48,000 residents, making it the 20th largest city in Minnesota. St. Louis Park contains a variety of physical and water resources including several wetlands and small lakes, wooded areas, parks, and recreational lands, as well as the Minnehaha Creek corridor. Two watershed management organizations (WMOs) cover St. Louis Park, each with its own governing body: the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). This local Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) was prepared in accordance with Minnesota Statute 103B.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410 and is intended to replace the 2009 plan. The purpose of this SWMP includes objectives outlined in Minnesota Statute 103B.201 for metropolitan water management programs. According to the statute, the purposes of these water management programs are to: • protect, preserve, and properly use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; • minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; • identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality; • establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater management; • prevent the erosion of soil into surface water systems; • promote effective groundwater recharge; • protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitats and water recreational facilities; and • secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater.

A Greenway Runs Through it: The Midtown Greenway and the Social Landscape of Minneapolis, Minnesota Aaron Brown April 19, 2010 Honors Thesis Advisor: Dr. Laura Smith Department of Geography Macalester College Abstract Minneapolis‟ Midtown Greenway is a 5.5 mile bicycle and pedestrian corridor that replaced a grade-separated railroad line in 2000 and expanded to its current length in 2007. In an era of reinvestment in American inner cities and a heightened political awareness of both urban transportation alternatives and public spaces, the academic field of geography has much to contribute to the discussion about the viability, effectiveness, and success of projects such as this adaptive reuse of reclaimed, deindustrialized space.
