Minnesota's Impaired Waters and TMDLs
TMDL Project: Peltier Lake, Centerville Lake and Lino Lakes Chain of Lakes — Excess Nutrients
Background
This project addresses excess nutrients in Peltier Lake, Centerville Lake and the city of Lino Lakes chain of lakes, which include: George Watch, Marshan, Reshanau, Rice and Baldwin Lakes. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) contracted with Emmons & Olivier Resources Inc. to develop the Peltier and Centerville TMDL studies. The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) contracted with Wenck and Associates to develop the Lino Chain TMDL studies. RCWD has otherwise provided technical support, led stakeholder involvement and has been the primary coordinator for implementation planning in the watershed.
Map and location
