Stormwater Improvement Project
This project included StormTech underground filtration system, stump manholes with baffles, and permanent stabilization of 445 linear feet of the Mississippi River streambank. This project was completed in 2023 and is located in the Mississippi Sartell Watershed.
YEAR COMPLETED:
2023
MAJOR WATERSHED:
Mississippi River Sartell
The contractor completed the installation of the permanent stormwater treatment practices as part of the Sartell County Road 1 reconstruction project. These treatment practices include stormwater runoff control and critical area planting. These practices are helping to settle out the sediment and other debris being carried in the stormwater runoff that comes off the streets from 610 acres or 44% developed areas of the City of Sartell.
The stormwater treatment practices included the installation of a StormTech underground stormwater filtration system, a dozen sump manholes with baffles, and the permanent stabilization of 445 linear feet of the Mississippi River streambank.
This project will help protect the City of St. Cloud’s drinking water supply. The City of St. Cloud pulls their drinking water from the Mississippi River not too far downstream from this project.
Benefits:
204 pounds of total phosphorous and 180 tons of total suspended solids annually from entering the Mississippi River
Pollution Reduction Estimates:
Sediment: 159 tons/yr.
Phosphorus: 158 lbs./yr.
Partners on this project included the Clean Water Fund, City of Sartell, Stearns Conservation District, and the Stearns County Highway Department.
