306A-03-02: Detention Pond Design/Bid Specification - Two Harbors Storm Water Management Plan
To begin implementation of the storm water plan provisions, one of the next major steps will be to design and construct a series of storm water detention basins. These multipurpose structures will provide storage for flood water, retain pollutants such as sediment, create wetland wildlife habitat, and generate additional recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. The detention basins will reduce downstream flows, minimize erosion, improve water quality, reduce property damages and increase public safety.
306-16-02: Nonpoint Source Pollution Rates from Four North Shore Streams of Varying Development Pressures
In order to determine how the increasing development pressures are affecting North Shore streams, it is necessary to initiate a thorough monitoring program, which incorporates continuous stream flow monitoring and routine sample collection. The MPCA, with cooperation from MNDNR, the City of Duluth, and Cook County, proposes to initiate this effort. Four streams under varying development pressures are proposed to be monitored. Each stream will have stream flow, temperature, and conductivity continuously monitored with automated equipment.
310-07-03: Detention Basin Construction - Two Harbors Storm Water Management Plan
To begin implementation of the storm water plan provisions, the City of Two Harbors constructed storm water basins and one diversion channel. These multipurpose structures will provide storage for flood water, retain pollutants such as sediment, create wetland wildlife habitat, reduce downstream flows, minimize erosion, improve water quality, reduce property damages, create recreation site opportunities, and increase public safety. The site locations identified in the Storm Water Management Plan include: Segog area, North Fork of Skunk Creek, a site located south of the cemetery along Pete's Creek.

310-04-03: Grand Marais Storm Water Management Erosion Control Restoration in Creechville Area
Above the city and below the Gunflint Trail is an area called Creechville, where flow patterns have been altered. There is flooding and significant erosion with gullies are over four feet deep. Over the last decade this problem area has been study by NRCS, JPB, County, and IC Environmental Engineers. The recently developed Storm Water Computer Model provides the data needed to design this project. The solution will be a unique pond design which will discharge to the old stream bed with overflow handled by an existing channel. The goal is to create natural habitat around the pond. Also, included in the project is replacement and armoring of an undersized culvert. Grading and revegetation will be another important part of this project.
310-06-03: Grand Marais Storm Water Management Erosion Control Restoration on Village Creek
The Village Creek serves a number of purposes; a storm water diversion for the city and is a safety net during flooding, yet it is a wooded stream traveling over bedrock and cobbles. This project will performed construction at three sections and easements on a fourth section that allow the county to maintain, armor, and revegetate.
310-05-02: Grand Marais and Cook County Storm Water Management Plan Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
The City of Grand Marais and the County of Cook have collaborated to develop a Storm Water Management Plan for the City of Grand Marais' watershed. This was accomplished with grant assistance from the Coastal Program and leadership from a local Storm Water Committee. Digital data on watershed rainfall and storm event runoff rates was collected last year and runoff impacts have been evaluated through computer modeling. A number of stormwater mitigation projects have been identified through the plan process. This project used existing equipment to collect more data. The data will be used to improve the accuracy of the SWMM and provide the community with baseline data on quantity and type of pollutants conveyed from the upper watershed to the harbor outfalls. It will also provide baseline information for a number of LGUs and agencies who are studying water issues in the Grand Marais area.

310-08-03: Grand Marais Stream Bank Stabilization and Naturalization Project
The project seeks to restore eroding stream banks within the park to improve water quality. The project will implement a combination of bioengineering stabilization methods, channel regarding and naturalization methods, and vegetative buffers. The project would decrease erosion and fit in with the aesthetics of the area. Bioengineering will be used instead of hard engineering structures. Soil bioengineering is the use of plant material, living or dead, to prevent slope failures and erosion. Channel banks will be restored to a flatter slope that can sustain vegetation. Vegetation will be planted to create buffer zones that filter runoff sediments and contaminants. Where possible, invasive species will be removed and will be replanted with native plant species.
306A-06-03: Hartley Nature Center Pervious Surface Demonstration Project
A wheelchair accessible pathway, and ten new parking spaces were added to the existing Hartley Center parking area using a model surface that is relatively pervious to water. These facilities would be constructed in the Tischer Creek watershed, about 150 feet from the stream. Choosing an environmentally sensitive option for these facilities is consistent with Hartley Nature Center's educational mission and strategy for minimizing the environmental impact of its development and operation.

The program is partially funded through a grant from the Board of Water and Soil Resources. The grant has been reduced over the past years to the point where 25% of costs must be contributed from locally generated sources. Coastal nonpoint program funding will allow the SWCDs to enhance our engineering capacity.
6217-03-04: Forest Stewardship Database
Forest Stewardship Planning has been occurring since 1990. General stewardship plans addressing the landowners management issues are developed for a parcel. In these plans specific items such as riparian buffers, tree plantings, stream crossings, TSI, and wildlife enhancement projects are identified. The landowner can then pursue individual project plans and cost share funding to implement the plans for the projects identified in the stewardship plan. Multiple DNR Forestry areas exist in the Lake Superior Basin. Various methods of documentation of stewardship plans also exist across the DNR Forestry areas. Currently there is no easy access to the information in these plans concerning landowners with projects to complete. The Carlton SWCD, in cooperation with the Lake, Cook, South and North St. Louis,Itasca, and Pine SWCDs and DNR Area Foresters in the Lake Superior Basin, is applying for funding to compile a consistent GIS database of the existing Forest Stewardship plans in the Lake Superior Basin. This database will be the catalyst to accelerated Forestry BMP implementation in the basin in future years.The U.S. Forest Service has a project started that is currently stalled in appropriations to develop this type of data base. All of our work will be coordinated to work with this potential Forest Service project.
306-STAR01-07: Community Center Stormwater Plan / Rain Garden Demonstration Site
