Ramsey County maintains a water -based regional park at Bald Eagle Lake. Programs of the District and counties should be coordinated in order to improve recreational opportunities associated with the park. Subwatershed 9: Clearwater Creek Policies: A.3, B.1, B.2, B.3, BA, B.5, C.1, C.2, C.3, C.4, C.5, D.1, D.2, E.1, E.2, E.3, E.5, and F This subwatershed drains approximately 12.35 sq mi and has very little reservoir storage available. In order to reduce potential flooding along the creek, the District emphasis will be upon controlling projected increases in runoff rates from the southwestern portions of the City of Hugo. Downstream channel improvements contemplated by the City of Centerville will allow for drainage at the lower end of this subwatershed to enter and leave this system prior to the upper reaches of the Clearwater Creek watershed entering the area. This drainage area will be addressed through the District's Upper Watershed Improvement Project which will explore the use of sediment sealing, aeration, and land use improvement to improve the water quality of Centerville and Peltier Lakes Subwatershed 10: Lino Lakes Policies: A.3, 13.1, B.2, 13.3, B.4, 8.5, C.1, C.2, C.3, C.4, C.5, D.1, D.2, E.1, E.2, E.3, E.5,andF Little intense development is anticipated within this 6.62 sq mi watershed through the year 2000. The subwatershed has been extensively ditched via public and private system and is covered by large expanses of floodplain and wetland areas protected under the Wetland Conservation Act. Runoff rate is therefore not a major concern, particularly in light of the large amounts of storage available within the chain of lakes located in the city. Drainage issues will therefore be of an intracity nature and best addressed by the city's local water management plan. 4-18 1W5/93
