This project will address urban storm water runoff concerns by providing treatment through bio-retention and infiltration within the communities of Sauk Centre, Cold Spring and St. Cloud-metro area. Treating storm water runoff from these riparian communities will improve water quality by reducing sediment and nutrient loading to the Sauk River and its reservoirs.
Total estimated project cost is $683,575 with $538,575 being provided as a grant from the State of Minnesota and additional funding and in-kind contributions being provided by the Watershed District, local communities and cooperating local, state and federal agency partners. Funding will be used for planning and implementation of storm water best management practices within priority subwatersheds of each city as identified in the SRWD Municipal Storm Water Assessment in 2011.
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the above mentioned project. Grant funds for this project were provided by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment.
For further information, contact the Watershed District Office at (320) 352-2231.
