2018 Annual Report • Public Works Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />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. In <br />December 2016, the City along with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) began <br />construction of the Mirror Lake Stormwater Quality Improvements Project with completion <br />scheduled for the spring of 2018. <br /> <br />Mirror Lake <br />Due to the warm weather in the winter of 2016-2017, the contractor was unable to complete the <br />lake excavation. Upon returning to the site in January 2018, the contractor completed the lake <br />excavation, removed and replaced the outlet control structure, and rough graded the berm. The <br />contractor will complete the final grading and restoration of the disturbed soils in the late <br />spring/early summer of 2018. The contractor will also perform maintenance as needed on the <br />vegetation and trees planted in 2017. <br />The goal of the project is to remove several feet of nutrient rich sediment that is very high in <br />phosphorus, provide additional removal of nutrients to incoming stormwater, and to increase <br />the available storage for flood water. <br /> <br />
