1 <br />ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD <br />AGENDA ITEM 6A <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Andy Nelson <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: August 30th, 2023 <br /> <br />REQUEST: Discussion Only <br /> <br />TOPIC: Lake Amelia Ditch Study <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Amelia Lake is a natural environment lake located in the southeast portion of Lino Lakes. <br />The watershed area is approximately 754 acres. A private ditch serves as an outlet for <br />approximately 340 acres of the watershed. The ditch corridor and adjacent wetlands are <br />proposed components of the City’s parks, greenways, and trail system in the 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Recently, there has been flooding in the ditch corridor due to limited maintenance and failure of <br />private culverts. This has raised concerns regarding long-term management of the system as <br />development pressure increases upstream. <br /> <br />In an effort to evaluate long-term stormwater management options for this subwatershed area, <br />the City of Lino Lakes partnered with the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization <br />(VLAWMO) and WSB and Associates to prepare the Lake Amelia Ditch Study. <br /> <br />Tom Hoffman, Engineering Technician with WSB and Associates, will be summarizing the <br />results of the study and discussing the recommended next steps that follow from the study. <br /> <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL DIRECTION <br /> <br />Discussion Only. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />1.
