Minnesota's Impaired Waters and TMDLs

TMDL Project: Martin and Typo Lakes - Excess Nutrients

Background

Typo and Martin Lakes are two lakes in Anoka and Isanti Counties; which are on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s 303(d) list of impaired waters for excess nutrients (Phosphorus).  Detailed studies including water quality and flow monitoring, field investigation, and computer modeling were conducted for both lakes.  The lakes were studied together because they are linked, Typo Lake flowing to Martin Lake via Typo Creek. 

Map and location

Martin Lake and Typo Lake are located in Anoka and Isanti Counties.  The Map below depicts their locations.  Both Lakes form the headwaters of the West Branch of the Sunrise River.
