USGS pushes for advanced lake study-Press Publications/Kanabec.co... http://www.presspubs.com/white_bear/news/article_b8369734-7dfd-... <br /> • Determine White Bear Lake water outflow location and rates. Geological surveys and meter <br /> placement and readings would determine how fast water is leaving through the bottom of White <br /> Bear Lake. <br /> • Develop lake level/water pumping management scenarios. Models simulating municipal water <br /> extraction would be set up to determine new pumping procedures designed to maintain lake levels <br /> and satisfy demand for household water use. <br /> If the project wins grant money, study would begin in July 2013. <br /> The Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund is controlled by the Minnesota <br /> State Legislature and funded with proceeds from the Minnesota State Lottery. In 2009, the <br /> Minnesota Legislature approved $23.7 million for 28 projects based on recommendations from the <br /> Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources. <br /> Mark Nicklawske can be reached at news@presspubs.com or 651-407-123 1 . <br />
