Abrahamson City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Dear Mr. Abrahamson: RE: Lily Lake�Improvement Project Clean Water Partnership Applicatio Thank you for submitting your application for the Clean Water Partnership (CWP) Program. Your dedicated efforts to improve and protect Minnesota's Water Resources from nonpoint sources of pollution is greatly appreciated and recognized. However, I am very sorry that the Lily Lake Improvement Project was not one of the projects selected to be funded this CWP application period. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) received many good applications for assistance through this program. Each of the twenty -eight (28) applications received was carefully reviewed by staff according to Minn. Rules ch. 7076, which were adopted for administration of the CWP Program. On November 28, 1989, the MPCA's Citizens Board met in St. Paul to select CWP projects to receive funding. At the meeting the Citizens Board selected eleven (11) projects to receive over one million dollars of state assistance. This selection was based on MPCA staff recommendation. There is a tremendous amount of interest in the CWP and resources for this Program are limited. The application process is very competitive and, regretfully, because of the number of good applications received not all deserving applications can be funded. Although your project was not selected for funding this application period we encourage you to consider applying for financial and technical assistance in future application periods. Please feel free to call Gary Fandrei of my staff at (612) 296 -7363 to discuss any questions or issues you may have regarding this recent CWP application. I encourage you to meet with staff to discuss ways to enhance your project and increase your chances of receiving assistance in the future.

Street access and parking are adequate for providing an environment in which the public can readily enjoy the lake. F, 1 A. WATERS OF CONCERN Lily Lake, which lies entirely within the City of Stillwater, is the major water body of concern in this Clean Water Partnership Program grant application. The lake is also located within the Middle St. Croix Water Management Organization (MSCWMO), Washington County, and therefore a portion of its drainage area is in Baytown Township and the City of Oak Park Heights. The regional storm water detention basins, Brick Pond and Jackman Pond are integral components of the lake's overall drainage system and as such their water quality and pollutant removal efficiencies will be included in the hydrologic and nutrient assessment. B. HISTORICAL USES An existing boat access and fishing pier currently provide an opportunity for Lily Lake sportfishing activities. The lake's relatively small surface acreage (43 acres) and nonmotorized boat have the requirement eliminated many of common recreational activities such as water skiing and has resulted in some restriction of sportfishing methods. In recent years, fish stocking by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) of adult northern pike has improved the quality of panfishing on the lake by reducing the degree of panfish overpopulation and stunting. The Lily Lake Recreation Center, located on the south end of the lake, is a park complex providing areas for both active lake (swimming beach and fishing pier) and upland (picnic area, ballfield, tennis court, ice arena and play area) recreational activities. Street access and parking are adequate for providing an environment in which the public can readily enjoy the lake. F, 1 D. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Goals • To preserve and improve Lily Lake's water quality over the long -term. • To enhance Lily Lake's sportfishing opportunities and success. • To conduct proper long -term water quality and quantity management of Lily Lake water levels, its storm water detention system and surrounding drainage area. Objectives • To determine the existing water quality, nutrient and biological characteristics of Lily Lake along with nonpoint source pollutant loading in order to facilitate establishment of appropriate lake criteria and /or watershed treatment alternatives. • To coordinate with Minnesota Department of Natural Resources fish management operations and evaluate available options for enhancement of existing gamefish populations. • To evaluate existing water quantity control methods and lake watershed detention ponding systems in concert with selected lake quality criteria to achieve proper lake management. E. PROJECT AREA PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Lily Lake and its drainage area lie within the Lower St. Croix River Watershed of East Central Minnesota. The lake's watershed to surface area ratio of 16:1, combined with the surrounding urban land use provides more than adequate lake level flowages. Topography varies from a glacial outwash 4 plain 300 feet southwest of the lake at the 950 elevation (mean sea level) to the lake itself at elevation 850. Lily Lake is a small kettle type lake formed from an ice -block buried within the glacial till material. It's situated directly over and within a bedrock valley underlaid by the St. Lawrence and Franconia geologic formations generally located at elevation 700. The lake itself is somewhat elliptical in shape with a northwest to southeast orientation and a maximum breath of 2,220 feet. The lake basin consists of two moderately deep zones of 20 and 45 feet, respectively. Exactly half the lake basin is littoral (less than 15 feet in depth) and thus be suitable for aquatic weed growth if soil conditions and lake transparency are favorable. The lake's drainage area is dominated by urban land uses in a hilly area in which a number of natural wetland areas have been preserved and integrated into the City's storm water detention system. Only Brick Pond, a MDNR protected wetland is situated immediately southeast of Lily Lake and serves as a major detention basin along with Jackman Pond located immediately upstream and northwest of State Trunk Highway 36 and County Road 66 (Oasis Avenue). This storm sewer /ditch and pond system is approximately one mile in length and drains an area of 252 acres, comprising 38$ of the lake's drainage area (see Figure 1). F. MONITORING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION A draft monitoring plan has been formulated based upon the MPCA's guidance document entitled: "WATER QUALITY MONITORING FOR THE CLEAN WATER PARTNERSHIP" - March, 1989. Lily Lake and its drainage area will be monitored for a period of one year from the date of project initiation. 1' 5 This monitoring shall include both in -lake and inflow sampling for chemical, physical and biological parameters.

Stefan, 1987) will be used to simulate the trophic status of Lily Lake. The Walker reservoir water quality model will be used to simulate the effectiveness of watershed nutrient loading reductions on the trophic status of the lake, while the MINLAKE model will be used to simulate the effectiveness of various in -lake management strategies. The Walker model will also be used on both Brick Pond and Jackman Pond in order to evaluate their effectiveness for storm water treatment. Selection of the optimal water quality management program will result from the overall consideration of modeling results, total cost and feasibility of implementation. Walker, William W. Jr., 1987.

PROJECT WORK PLAN 1. Diagnostic Study • IDENTIFICATION OF WATER QUALITY PROBLEMS Determining the existence and extent of water quality problems will involve the gathering of any studies or information on Lily Lake from agencies and interested public. The acquisition and evaluation of studies and data collected by other agencies has been completed by the Consultant (Short - Elliott- Hendrickson, Inc.) as part of the grant application development process. Additional work will involve interviewing selected persons interested in Lily Lake regarding their present and past recollection of the lake's characteristics and possible changes. This task is being done to provide as much of a baseline of verifiable technical or anecdotal information on Lily Lake in order to support the next step in the project work plan. Little or no cost has been assigned in the grant application for this item. • FORMULATION OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The formulation of the goals and objectives will be completed as the first task following project initiation by the Consultant in concert with the local government, City of Stillwater. This step is crucial in being able to achieve success in any Clean Water Partnership project. The formulation process should include a realistic approach which considers the following: public resource needs; whether those needs can be provided by the resource; whether the technology exists for reaching the goals and objectives; and finally 16 1 1. Lake Monitoring 2. Watershed Monitoring 3. Precipitation Monitoring Lake monitoring will be conducted by the Consultant at a frequency and for the parameters shown within Table 1. Surface water samples will be two meter depth- integrated while the temperature and dissolved oxygen parameters will be profiles through the water column.

The process of working with the public to develop such goals and objectives must include aspects of the current lake management technology. To achieve this, the Consultant and City will make use of lake criteria contained in Minnesota . Lake Water Quality Assessment Report - 1988, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The labor and cost of this effort has been depicted in the Diagnostic portion of the budget plan. 1. Lake Monitoring 2. Watershed Monitoring 3. Precipitation Monitoring Lake monitoring will be conducted by the Consultant at a frequency and for the parameters shown within Table 1. Surface water samples will be two meter depth- integrated while the temperature and dissolved oxygen parameters will be profiles through the water column.

Data Analysis and Assessment DEVELOPMENT • OF A MONITORING PROGRAM Monitoring program development will follow MPCA rules, Chapter 7076, Part 7076.0230 MONITORING PLAN as well as the recent draft MPCA document entitled: WATER QUALITY MONITORING For the CLEAN WATER PARTNERSHIP A Guidance Document March 1989. The Consultant in cooperation with the MPCA, City and Washington Soil and Water Conservation District (WSWCD) will develop the plan for lake and watershed monitoring. The draft monitoring plan is segmented into three areas: 1. Lake Monitoring 2. Watershed Monitoring 3. Precipitation Monitoring Lake monitoring will be conducted by the Consultant at a frequency and for the parameters shown within Table 1. Surface water samples will be two meter depth- integrated while the temperature and dissolved oxygen parameters will be profiles through the water column. The fishery survey as well as perhaps the vascular plant 17 1 1 1 L 1 1 1 1 survey may be undertaken by the Department of Natural Resources, Metro Region staff. It is intended that the lake monitoring proposed be augmented by weekly secchi disc transparency measurements by a volunteer on Lily Lake as part of the MPCA's Citizen Lake Monitoring Program. Watershed runoff monitoring will be conducted by the Consultant with assistance from WSWCD and /or City staff. Because of the proximity of the latter two entities to the project area, significant cost savings and monitoring effectiveness can be achieved for capturing rapid storm or spring runoff events. A tentative listing of parameters and frequency are shown in Table 2. A bulk precipitation station will be established within the project area and be monitored by WSWCD staff. • MONITORING ACTIVITIES Figure 4 depicts the proposed lake and runoff sampling stations. Runoff samples will be acquired with automatic samplers. Flow gaging equipment will be installed at each site which will allow the calculation of loading estimates. It is proposed that one year of monitoring data be collected on the lake and watershed area to allow evaluation of annualized loadings. Lake sampling will be completed by the Consultant due to the need for specialized equipment and knowledge of lake characteristics. The runoff sampling will be conducted by both the Consultant with assistance from either the City or WSWCD staff. 18 s; t�A K Aw i "Now fl s; t�A K Aw i 1 1 1 1 20 DATA ANALYSIS Nutrient and pollutant loading will be calculated based upon the product of flow- weighted concentration and total flow variables. Data collected will be input into the FLUX model for determining annual loading. The FLUX output will ' be input into the BATHTUB lake model for prediction of water quality parameters. This effort will be completed entirely by the Consultant. 1 1 1 20 1 I ; 1� I I I I � TABLE 1 PROPOSED MONITORING PROGRAM FOR LILY LAKE LAKE MONITORING The two sites to be sampled in Lily Lake will include one primary and one secondary site. The primary site will be sampled at three depths while the secondary site will be sampled at the surface only. 21 TIME PERIOD PRIMARY SITE SECONDARY SITE PARAMETERS SPRING /SUMMER FALL /WINTER SPRING /SUMMER FALL /WINTER Secchi Disc 20 7 20 7 Temperature 10 7 10 7 Dissolved Oxygen 10 7 10 7 T.

Of this amount, Consultant expenditures are about 30% with 54% going for equipment costs and a laboratory contractor. 3. Development of an Implementation Plan • EVALUATE AND SELECT NECESSARY LAKE /WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT MEASURES This is the final segment of the project and involves a detailed evaluation of the model outputs together with the physical, chemical and biological data collected in order to determine whether the lake has been modeled properly with expected uncertainty analysis. A similar procedure is undertaken for the future watershed loading model. This leads into the process of modeling the lake for the water quality objectives established initially in the Diagnostic Study stage together with selecting changes in nutrient loading which may necessary in the watershed. • INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES Implementation measures which will reduce the nonpoint source loading to the lake may be selected along with a concept design(s) at this stage. There is also a likelihood that an information and education program may be necessary to alert the public or City staff about necessary changes within certain watershed activities. 23 L� Approximately 35% of the total project costs are expended at this final stage with the Consultant accounting for 90 + %. Assistance, however, will be expected from the WSWCD staff in evaluating the feasibility of various solutions for lake or watershed improvement measures. 24 7 1 h t 1.

The run -off of the Brick Pond runs into Lily Lake and the pond has a lot of algae, etc. and could be' part of the problem with Lily Lake.

PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 612 484 -0272 RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA CLEAN WATER PARTNERSHIP GRANT APPLICATION - LILY LAKE Mr. Steve Russell, Community Development Director City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mr. Russell: We'd like to encourage the City, of Stillwater to pursue a grant for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) Clean Water Partnership Program for Lily Lake. We welcome the opportunity to discuss with the City Council the City's interest in this program. Little information has been gathered _ over __the years on the overall quality or physical and biological characteristics of Lily Lake. As you indicated, however, the City has received complaints in the past about the lake's quality. The popularity of the swimming beach and other park facilities underscore the benefits to the City in maintaining and /or improving the lake's water quality. We recommend the City Council consider authorizing preparation of the grant application for a Phase I Diagnostic Study of Lily Lake. The study should include a detailed analysis of the lake's water quality, biology and pollution sources. Results from a Phase I study would include recommendations for management strategies that could be implemented to control drainage area pollution sources, if feasible, and possible in -lake measures to improve water quality. These recommendations would provide the City with better long -term management of the lake. The MPCA Clean Water Partnership Program was established in 1987 to identify water quality problems and their sources and to implement protection projects. Grants are awarded on a 50 -50 State and local cost share basis for Phase I study and Phase II implementation projects. The MPCA is accepting applications from June 30, 1989 to August 30, 1989. SHORT ELLIOTT ST. PAUL, CHIPPEWA FALLS, HENDRICKSON INC. MINNESOTA WISCONSIN 3 Mr. Steve Russell July 10, 1989 Page #2 - We estimate the cost of preparing the application would be between $2,000 and $3,000, due in part of the level of information and detail required by the MPCA. It is our understanding that $552,000 remains in the 1988 -89 budget for grants and that $1.4 million will be available in the 1990 -91 biennium. We would be pleased to address the City Council and answer questions about the grant application. We look forward to your response. Sincerely, Short - Elliott - Hendrickson, Inc. • 1 e .
