Noonan <br />pointed out that there are three different water management organizations <br />involved in this evaluation, Grass Lake Water Management Organization, <br />Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization, and the <br />Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed District. <br />Noonan described the historical drainage of the area which included <br />inflows into West Vadnais bake from Grass Lake via uncertain pathways. <br />West Vadnais then flowed into Blacktern Pond, then south into the <br />Gervais Lake Ditch and eventually into Gervais Lake. In the 1960's when <br />694 was constructed, these drainage pathways were blocked. Noonan <br />reported that there was also a secondary outlet from West Vadnais into <br />Twin Lake that was obstructed as the result of a fill project in the area. <br />
