Team and Experience | 12A Proposal for Lake Orono Restoration and Enhancement (LORE) for the City of Elk River <br />SERVICE GROUP: <br />Environmental Planning <br />and Natural Resources <br /> REGISTRATION: <br />Professional Soil <br />Scientist MN #49779 <br />Professional Soil <br />Classifier ND #67 <br />Certified Professional <br />Soil Scientist US #35606 <br />MN ISTS Designer <br />#C8641 <br />MPCA Storm Water <br />Pollution Prevention Plan <br />Designer <br />MPCA Erosion Control <br />Site Management <br />EDUCATION: <br />Bachelor of Science <br />in Soil Science, NDSU, <br />1999 <br />Associates Degree in <br />Forestry, NDSU, 1997 <br />Mill Pond Restoration Project | Champlin, MN <br />CLIENT: CITY OF CHAMPLIN <br />PROJECT DURATION: FEB 2017 - OCT 2019 <br />Luke has worked with the City of Champlin to develop and implement a lake <br />restoration design for Champlin Mill Ponds located within the City of Champlin, MN. <br />WSB’s responsibilities include interagency coordination utilizing a project formed <br />technical advisory panel that included members from state and federal agencies, the <br />City of Champlin, local citizen representatives that lived next to the Mill Ponds and <br />the watershed district. Bathymetric survey analysis, design plans, hydraulic analysis, <br />compliance inspections, construction supervision, and construction specifications. <br />The project approach and restoration techniques incorporated resolving degraded <br />geomorphic conditions identified in bathymetric analysis, historic data and site reviews. <br />Additional services that were incorporated into the project included fish population <br />and aquatic vegetation assessment in addition to public outreach seminars and design <br />review meetings with City citizens to address project progress and concerns about the <br />project that were implemented into the project during the design phase of the project. <br />Fountain Lake Habitat Restoration | Albert Lea, MN <br />CLIENT: SHELL ROCK RIVER WATERSHED DISTRICT (SRRWD) <br />PROJECT DURATION: JAN 2014 - PRESENT <br />Luke assisted the Shell Rock River Watershed District to restore Fountain Lake’s historic <br />lake bottom elevations, in-lake habitat features, floodplain restoration and stabilize the <br />lakeshore as well as obtaining grant funding for a portion of the project. Work included <br />bathymetric analysis, lake bottom sediment analysis, design and engineering, state and <br />federal permitting, competitive bid assistance, interagency coordination, and construction <br />administration. Presently dredging of the lake bottom to historic elevations is occurring <br />which will be completed in the fall of 2020. Lake habitat features will be implemented once <br />the dredging is completed. Lake shoreland restoration will begin in December of 2019. <br />Luke Lunde, CPSS, PSS, PSC <br />PROJECT MANAGER <br />Luke is a Minnesota Professional Soil Scientist in WSB’s Environmental Planning and Natural <br />Resources Group and he has over 18 years of natural resource and environmental review <br />experience. Luke’s experience includes habitat restoration, invasive species management, <br />natural resource planning, wetland delineation and environmental permitting, for several <br />projects throughout the Midwest. He is very knowledgeable in stream and lake survey <br />assessment, stream and lake habitat restoration design, floodplain restoration, vegetation <br />management, habitat conservation, habitat restoration, forest management, precision <br />conservation and water resource planning. He also has completed the MNDNR Fundamentals <br />of River Science: Applied Geomorphology-Ecology and MNDNR Restoring River Ecosystems: <br />Design-Application Training Workshops.
