• the original map can be computed. Available United States <br />Department of the Interior Geological Survey, sediment <br />discharge data and typical erosion- sediment yield values will be <br />used to back calculate a sedimentation rate. <br />TASK V. Restoration Options - Once the monitoring data has been <br />reviewed, restoration options will be identified to improve the <br />quality of both the tributaries to Orono Lake and the lake itself. <br />The restoration options will include a combination of best <br />management practices (BMP's) and structural devices such as <br />inlet sediment traps and wet detention ponds to reduce the <br />loading of nutrients and sediments. Costs associated with the <br />restoration options will be provided. Additionally, costs <br />associated with the dredging and disposal of the spoils will be <br />identified. <br />TASK VI. Funding Assistance - Sources for funding of the selected <br />restoration options will be identified. <br />The proposed project is designed to augment investigations within the upper <br />watershed of the Elk River by the Sherburne Soil and Water Conservation <br />• District (SWCD). The proposed project and the activities of the SWCD will <br />identify drainage areas which may have excessive nutrient and sediment <br />loading. Additionally, the proposed project will identify potential projects <br />which will reduce the loading of nutrient and sediments to Orono Lake. <br />• <br />The Lake Orono Improvement Association has met with representatives of <br />the US Army Corp of Engineers, MPCA, DNR, Sherburne SWCD, Sherburne <br />County Board, and the City of Elk River, regarding the project on 10/10/95. <br />State Representative, Bruce Anderson, was in attendance. Another meeting <br />with this same group to develop an action plan and discuss the permitting <br />process for the total project is scheduled for 12/12/95. <br />11- 28sr/bz/stever <br />
