2016 Annual Report • Public Works Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />IV. Flood Reduction Improvements <br />The City has identified several areas that have the need for increased levels of flood protection. <br />The City has completed the improvements for many of these locations, yet there still remain a <br />few projects that are being addressed as financing and adjacent infrastructure is upgraded. This <br />year, the City began construction of the Mirror Lake Stormwater Quality Improvements Project <br />with completion scheduled for the spring of 2018. <br />Mirror Lake <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District with the assistance of the City of St. Anthony Village secured <br />a Targeted Watershed Grant from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources to improve <br />the quality of water in Long Lake. The Environmental Review for this project began in 2015 and <br />construction began in the winter of 2016. <br />This project proposes to remove several feet of sediment that is very high in phosphorus and to <br />increase the available storage for flood water within Mirror Lake. The project will provide <br />improved pollutant removals, reduce nutrient transport downstream to Long Lake, and reduce <br />downstream local flooding. <br />
