Suite 700
St. Paul, MN 55101 -1678
Dear Corps of Engineers,
I wanted to confirm that I am in receipt of the Public Notice documents pertaining to
the Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Bank Proposal - Ravinia Wetland Bank
(2015- 01460 -MMJ) dated March 14, 2016.
I am the owner of a 7 -acre property to the southeast of the proposed wetland bank
(PID 36 119 -23 -44 -009). My property does and will be receiving all the
downstream water flow from the Ravinia Wetland Bank as described "where
Wetland 9 drains through a 12 -15 culvert beneath a field road before flowing
offsite."
I am writing to you to request that I would like to be notified of all future
correspondence and meetings associated with the proposed Ravinia Wetland Bank
project. I also would like to be involved with the appropriate parties at public
hearings to confirm some of the following concerns and questions that I have
regarding the Ravinia Wetland Bank and the proposed Phase 6A and 7 of the
proposed Ravinia Residential Development:
* Since all of the downstream water flows come through my property and
fills my pond on our property, is there any potential that water flow will increase
significantly or reduce significantly with the newly developed Ravinia Wetland
Bank?
* Is there any potential that my pond could dry up given the development of
the Ravinia Wetland Bank?
* If there are heavy rainfalls, the water flowing onto my property through
the current area of the Ravinia Wetland Bank, will sometimes almost come over the
height of the bridge and driveway of my property. Will the proposed Ravinia
Wetland Bank project help this situation?
* Currently, if there are rains of more than 2 -4 inches, my property in the
backyard near my house receives heavy runoff of fertilizer, manure and topsoil from
the land northeast of the proposed wetland bank. In 2014, during at least 6 heavy
rainfalls, I had to shovel and pressure -wash over 3 inches of thick dirt, manure,
fertilizer and top -soil coming from the neighboring property from my driveway,
patio area and even inside my pool. At least two times a year, I encounter this
situation after heavy rains since I bought the property in 1999. I have many
stunning pictures and videos that can support this claim if you are interested. I
have voiced my concerns to the City of Corcoran numerous times at City Council
meetings and to the owner of the property, with no help or concern. Since I have
never been in any conversations with U.S. Home Corporation and I have do not have
any current interest in selling our property, how can I get confirmation that this
situation will not continue as Phase 6A and 7 of the Ravinia Residential project is
built directly to the west of my property? I see my property has been "ghost
plotted" as the Ravinia development was planned and approved with the City of
Corcoran as though it will just be part of future phase of the U.S. Home
Corporation /Ravinia development. Since we do not intend to sell our property,
what discussions /plans need to happen to ensure that future heavy run -off from the
Ravinia Phase 6A and 7 projects does not come directly into my backyard?
I hope you will consider some of my questions and concerns as you plan, discuss and
approve the Ravinia Wetland Bank project.
I can be reached at 612 - 388 -8753 should you have any questions of me directly.
Thank you for your willingness to listen to me and my concerns.
Best regards,
Greg S. Hoglund

Hazardous Building Removal Update
Action Required:
None - Informational
Summary:
On January 14, 2016 the Council approved a resolution declaring the building located at
20112 County Road 10 as hazardous and to be removed within 120 days. That deadline
expired on May 13th and the building is still in place.
The City Attorney was initially directed to proceed with the enforcement order in
Hennepin County District Court as stated in the approved resolution, however recently
staff has been made aware of a plan for the owner to initiate the removal. A follow-up
conversation is scheduled for Monday, June 27th, if adequate progress has not been
made staff will re-initiate the enforcement order. The ultimate goal is that this structure
be removed no later than the end of September.
If an enforcement order is used it is anticipated that this process will take approximately
three months. The removal the costs incurred would be assessed back to the property.
Financial/Budget:
If the owner moves forward with the removal there are very limited costs to the City in
staff time. If the City moves forward with the removal, the costs of the removal and
additional attorney costs will be initially paid for by the City and assessed to the property
which would be paid back at some point in the future.

RE: Request for Amended Phase 5 Grading Plan for U.S. Home Corporation (dba Lennar)
for “Ravinia” (City File 16-015)
60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE:N/A
1.Application Request
The applicant has submitted a request to amend the approved grading plan limits.
2.Analysis of Request
On September 11, 2014, the City Council approved an amended grading plan that allowed Lennar to
rough grade land that was in Phases 2-4 of the project, in addition to grading that was approved in
phase I. This allowed them to balance the site materials and be able to work during the summer
season to prepare for coming phases. They are now requesting approval to allow grading to extend
beyond the approved grading limits to include the 40-acre property adjacent to Hackamore.
3.Recommendation
Move to approve the amended rough grading plan as requested by Lennar. No other changes to the
prior approvals is granted and no additional work (including street, utility or building construction)
shall be allowed until the conditions of approval have been met.

Topic:
Sub-Watershed Assessment Discussion
Action Required:
Direction
Summary:
Elm Creek Watershed Commissioner Jonathan Bottema has informed the City of an
opportunity to complete a sub-watershed assessment through funding from various
resources. A recent meeting to learn more about the opportunity was held on May 18th
and resulted in the following questions and answers:
• What is a sub-watershed assessment?
o It is a focused study on a particular small watershed within the City,
typically in an area with higher potential phosphorous. They are helpful to
identify potential projects that could reduce phosphorous in that
watershed. Other impairments such as e-coli and dissolved oxygen would
also be incorporated into the study.
o Attached to this report is sub-watershed assessment completed for Dance
Hall Creek for the City of Greenfield.
• Why would we want to complete a sub-watershed assessment?
o In the years ahead several documents will be completed including a total
maximum daily load (TMDL) that will likely require the City of Corcoran to
reduce phosphorous in the City. The sub-watershed assessment provides
information on what projects could be completed along with the reduction
of phosphorous it would achieve and the cost. Essentially it would help the
City better understand the return on investment when choosing projects.
o Having the information in hand also would increase the likelihood of
receiving funding for projects as the City would have accurate data which
would show anticipated reduction in phosphorous through a project.
• Who would conduct the sub-watershed assessment?
o Staff from Hennepin County would take the lead on the project. The City
would want to be intimately involved with any outreach to property owners.
• How is a location for the assessment selected?
o It is recommended to use information from the Watershed Restoration and
Protection Strategies (WRAPS) report which shows potential phosphorous
loading rate by sub-watershed as modeled for the TMDL. Areas that show
the highest potential phosphorous loading should be considered.
• What happens if the assessment finds areas of high phosphorous? Do we need
to take action based upon what we find?
o There is no requirement to act on the findings and it may not be even
possible. The City of Corcoran owns a small amount of land so it is likely
that areas where possible projects exist will be on private property. Taking
on projects in these locations would require permission and/or partnership
with the property owners.
Page 2
• How will the land owners react whose land is within the sub-watershed area
being studied?
o Unsure. It is possible that there could be negative reactions from property
owners who don’t want people studying their property or who are
concerned that they will be required to complete improvements.
• How much does it cost?
o It is likely that the assessment would cost around $20,000 which would be
funded through grants and the watershed budget. The City of Corcoran
may be responsible for some in-kind work and/or a small monetary
contribution.
• What is the timeframe?
o It is estimated that the study would take one year to complete.
• If the City would like to complete an assessment, what are the next steps?
o City staff would work with Hennepin County to develop a scope that would
include a recommended project location and a work plan. This proposal
would require the approval of the City Council.
It is requested that the City Council review the information provided in the report and
direct staff on whether there is sufficient interest to develop a scope of work for a sub-
watershed assessment.
Financial/Budget:
The anticipated cost of a sub-watershed assessment is $20,000 of which most or all
would be funded through grant funds or the watershed. Some in-kind service or small
monetary contribution may be required.

Options:
1. Direct staff to work with Hennepin County to develop a scope of work for a sub-
watershed assessment to be completed.
2. Take no action and decline the opportunity to complete a sub-watershed
assessment.
3. Send back to staff for further review.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends moving forward with developing a scope of work for a sub-watershed
assessment. If completed it would help the City understand how phosphorous could be
Page 3
reduced if required to do so in the future. It also would allow for accurate data to be
obtained for the City instead of assumptions that have been used in previous
documents.
Council Action:
Consider a motion to direct staff to work with Hennepin County to develop a scope of
work for a sub-watershed assessment to be completed.

Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 3
Executive summary
Lake Sarah is on the Minnesota PolluƟon Control
Agency’s (MPCA) 303(d) list of impaired waters for
aquaƟc recreaƟon (swimming). As shown by the
Hennepin County lake grades, water quality in Lake
Sarah has been poor since monitoring began in the
1980s. The primary cause of impairment is
phosphorous, which originate from two main sources
– watershed runoff and in‐lake loading. The Lake
Sarah Total Daily Maximum Load (TMDL) study
idenƟfied the Dance Hall Creek Watershed as a major
source of phosphorous, contribuƟng 975 pounds (46
percent) of phosphorus per year to Lake Sarah.
A stormwater retrofit analysis, which idenƟfies and prioriƟzes retrofit projects by performance and cost‐effecƟveness,
was conducted within the Dance Hall Creek Watershed. This analysis helps maximize the value of each dollar spent.
The results recommend cost‐effecƟve best management pracƟces (BMPs) that will reduce phosphorus loads into Lake
Sarah by 50 percent or more to achieve the goal for the 2011 TMDL study.
The results of this assessment are based on the modeling of various stormwater treatment BMPs within the Dance Hall
Creek Watershed. Conceptual drawings and/or photos have been incorporated in this report to provide a beƩer
understanding of each BMP and approach for implementaƟon. More detailed, site‐specific designs will need to be
prepared for each BMP selected prior to implementaƟon. Most projects will require addiƟonal study and/or
engineered plans. For all the recommended projects, partnerships with commiƩed and willing landowners are
essenƟal.
The process used to select the recommended BMPs considered a combinaƟon of factors, including potenƟal to reduce
the target pollutant (phosphorous), the project type and associated cost‐benefit analysis, and the locaƟon of the
project within the watershed. AddiƟonal factors that should be considered prior to prioriƟzing the recommended
BMPs include project costs, available funding, economics of scale, landowner willingness, and short‐ versus long‐term
impacts on property values and public infrastructure.
Selection of the subwatershed
Lake Sarah was idenƟfied as a priority resource in the Pioneer‐Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commission’s 2nd
GeneraƟon Watershed Management Plan. A TMDL study and associated implementaƟon plan was completed for Lake
Sarah in 2011. The TMDL’s implementaƟon plan was developed with a great deal of technical advisory and public
involvement and includes projects that will reduce nutrient loads to the lake. AnƟcipated nutrient reducƟons are
included for each of the projects. The TMDL study determined that the Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed contributed 46
percent of the annual external phosphorus loads to Lake Sarah. Because of this significant contribuƟon, this
subwatershed was chosen for addiƟonal analysis through cooperaƟve efforts of the City of Greenfield, the former
Hennepin ConservaƟon District, Hennepin County Environmental Services and the Metropolitan AssociaƟon of
ConservaƟon Districts.

Document organization
This document presents a brief overview of the processes involved to develop the project rankings and selecƟons. The
technical aspect of the subwatershed assessment process and supporƟng model results are presented in the
appendices. The majority of the report focuses on the projects, including their rankings based on cost per pound of
nutrient reducƟon and project profiles.
Basic conclusions
This study, which used site‐specific observaƟons and measurements, new topographic data (2‐foot contour LiDAR
data), and current land use and modeling processes, supports the findings from previous studies that show a direct
correlaƟon between land use, land management and phosphorus transport to the amount of pollutants discharging
from the Dance Hall Creek system to Lake Sarah. The amount of pollutants, in this case phosphorous, reaching Lake
Sarah would be greatly reduced by maintaining land cover or implemenƟng BMPs that keep stormwater on‐site or slow
stormwater leaving a site
The implementaƟon of any land pracƟces that keeps rainfall on the land instead of running off and prevents nutrients
that are either aƩached to soil or dissolved in the runoff water from reaching the creek system will benefits the water
quality of Lake Sarah. In addiƟon, disturbances of the land from development, soil exposure, agricultural, livestock and
other man‐made acƟviƟes add to the problem and must be properly managed.
The cost/benefit relaƟonship of puƫng these pracƟces into place is highly dependent upon how severe the land
disturbance is and how close the pracƟce is to Dance Hall Creek and more specifically Lake Sarah.
Figure 2 shows an example of a high
runoff season and the phosphorous
loads at various locaƟons in the Dance
Hall Creek Watershed. Table 1 shows
the anƟcipated total phosphorus (TP)
reducƟon at the locaƟon that the
pracƟce is implemented and
downstream at the lake, total
suspended solids (TSS) reducƟon,
stormwater volume reducƟon, total
project cost and cost per pound of TP
removed.
The cost effecƟveness and nutrient
reducƟons for some conceptual
pracƟces were generalized. For
example, not every livestock facility
was modeled due to the specific site
and management techniques each facility uses. However, the concept of on‐site compost systems to treat manure
generated by the number of livestock was evaluated, and a delivery raƟo of nutrients to Lake Sarah was determined
based on distance to the creek and lake. An average load reducƟon and cost/benefit analysis can then be esƟmated to
locate livestock faciliƟes that warrant addiƟonal study. If the landowner is interested in such a study, the exact nutrient
reducƟons would be analyzed on a site‐by‐site basis.

Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 8
Analytical process and elements
The purpose of subwatershed assessments through stormwater retrofit analysis is to improve water quality, increase
groundwater recharge and reduce stormwater runoff volumes. The analysis idenƟfies opportuniƟes and develops
conceptual designs for BMPs for areas that are contribuƟng the largest pollutant loads to the receiving water body. The
subwatershed assessment process took the following steps:
1. IdenƟfy and prioriƟze subwatersheds that contribute the greatest to water quality degradaƟon of high‐
priority water resources.
2. Map BMP retrofit potenƟal within neighbourhoods of the highest priority sub watersheds uƟlizing the
“Urban Stormwater Retrofit PracƟces” manual (August, 2007).
3. Design retrofits, primarily involving ponds, wetland restoraƟon, vegetated buffers, water flow controls,
vegetaƟve swales and management techniques for rural residenƟal runoff, livestock and Ɵllable land.
4. Calculate pollutant removal uƟlizing Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), Source Loading and
Management Model for Windows (WinnSLAMM), Board of Water and Soil Resources PolluƟon ReducƟon
Model, Revised Universal Soil Loss EquaƟon Version 2 (RUSLE2) and Minnesota Feedlot Assessment Runoff
Model (MinnFARM).
5. Manage installaƟon based on landowners’ willingness and funding availability.
The subwatershed retrofit analysis process is a tool that helps to idenƟfy and prioriƟze BMPs based on performance
and cost/benefit. The process for the Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Analysis involved scoping, desktop analysis, field
invesƟgaƟon, modeling, cost esƟmaƟng, and project ranking and selecƟon.

Target elements
The main element considered in this analysis was phosphorous, the target pollutant for Lake Sarah. Volume of water
and total suspended solid controls were analyzed as secondary elements as they can affect phosphorous loads.
Priority elements
analyzed
DescripƟon
Total phosphorous
Secondary: Total
Suspended Solids and
volume of water
Phosphorus is an essenƟal nutrient for plants, animals and humans. Under
natural condiƟons, phosphorus (P) is typically scarce in water. However,
changes in pre‐seƩlement land use acƟviƟes have resulted in excessive loading
of phosphorus into many freshwater systems. This can cause water polluƟon
by promoƟng excessive algae growth, parƟcularly in lakes. Total Phosphorus is
a combinaƟon of parƟculate phosphorus, which is bound to sediment and
organic materials, and dissolved phosphorus, which is phosphorus in soluƟon
available for plant growth.
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) are very small parƟcles remaining dispersed in a
liquid due to turbulent mixing that can create turbid or cloudy condiƟons.
Reducing TSS will reduce parƟculate phosphorus loads to Lake Sarah.
Volume of water: Higher runoff volumes and velociƟes can carry greater
amounts of TSS and dissolved phosphorus to Lake Sarah. ReducƟons in
volume will reduce total phosphorus loads to Lake Sarah.
Cost Each retrofit pracƟce has been analyzed for the annual cost per pound of
phosphorous load reducƟon into Lake Sarah. Cost includes installaƟon, annual
maintenance, life expectancy, design and project oversight.
Watershed locaƟon All projects have been analyzed to determine how much they would reduce
the phosphorous load into Lake Sarah. The modeling esƟmates the amount of
phosphorous that actually enters the lake by mulƟplying the modeled
phosphorous load at the edge‐of‐field by a phosphorous delivery raƟo. The
phosphorous delivery raƟo was determined by using maps that show the
project locaƟon in the watershed, distance to Lake Sarah, aerial photographs,
topography, type of phosphorus (soluble vs. parƟculate) and flow paths. Each
project was assigned a number from 0.1 to 1.0, with 0.1 having a lower
nutrient reducƟon benefit that 1.0.

Buffer strips
Buffer strips, someƟmes referred to as filter strips, are
areas of vegetaƟon situated between a potenƟal source
of polluƟon and a body of water that receives runoff,
as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Runoff may carry
sediment, organic maƩer, plant nutrients and
pesƟcides that are either bound to the sediment or
dissolved in the water. A properly designed and
operaƟng buffer strip protects water quality by
reducing the amount of sediment, organic maƩer,
nutrients and pesƟcides in the runoff at the edge of
the field before the runoff enters the body of water.
Buffer strips are oŌen constructed along the
boundaries of cropland and streams, lakes, ponds or
wetlands. This not only helps remove pollutants from the
runoff but also serves as habitat for wildlife and provides
an area for field turn rows and haymaking. In some
instances, a buffer strip could be used as pasture as long
as livestock are fenced out of the stream or lake. Buffer
strips also prevent erosion because the vegetaƟon covers
an area of soil that otherwise might have a high erosion
potenƟal.
Buffer strips are oŌen used in conjuncƟon with other
agricultural and land best management pracƟces, such as
contour plowing, pest scouƟng, conservaƟon Ɵllage, crop
rotaƟons, strip cropping, soil tesƟng, and proper nutrient
and pest management. Most field research supports the use of buffer strips with widths ranging from 10 to 40 feet
depending on the receiving water and amount of flows it is designed to intercept.
Buffer strips are proposed in areas where acƟve agricultural acƟviƟes are occurring near a body of water or wetland.
The benefits of the buffer strip will vary greatly depending on many variables, including whether the water flowing
over it is in a channelized or sheet type of flow, the slope of the land, the type of vegetaƟon in the strip, the width of
the strip, the distance to the stream or wetland, and the distance to Lake Sarah.
The cost/benefits of buffer strips are esƟmated based on the pollutant reducƟons, which is determined by the width of
the filter strip, pollutant reducƟon, life span, crop loss, design and promoƟon costs, and maintenance costs.
The expected life span of a buffer strip is 10 to 20 years. The life span is determined by the amount of soil or sediment
that the grass in the filter strip traps. Eventually the cropland at the edge of the filter strip and the filter strip itself
needs to be re‐established to allow for the water to flow into and through it as intended. If upland erosion is not
controlled, the lifespan of the filter strip is greatly reduced. To help remove nutrients during the lifespan of the buffer
strip, we encourage harvesƟng the hay in the buffer strip at least once per year. HarvesƟng should be done aŌer
August to protect nesƟng birds.

operation of vegetated buffer strips

Dance Hall Creek vegetated buffer analysis parameters
Buffer width
The standard vegetated buffer width used in this report is 35 feet wide, which provides the necessary benefits with
good representaƟve costs.
Buffer length and area
Buffer lengths are established based on the sensiƟvity of the water resources being protected. Buffer area is
determined by mulƟplying the buffer length by 35 feet (the standard buffer width) and converted to acres.
Phosphorus reducƟons
The phosphorus reducƟon that will be provided by a buffer strip is esƟmated by using the Board of Water and Soil
Resources (BWSR) PolluƟon ReducƟons Calculator for Filter Strips (www.bwsr.state.mn.us/outreach/eLINK/index.html),
is calculated in pounds and is measured at the edge of the field using the following input parameters:
Soil type: Silt was used for all sites
Area: Measured in acres draining into and through the buffer
Average soil loss: Measured in tons per acre of the contribuƟng area
Average field soil loss: Determined for each site using the USDA, NRCS Revised Universal Soil Loss EquaƟon
(RUSLE2). RUSLE2 uses the following input parameters:
Specific slope length: Measured from top of slope to where the water channelizes (LS factor)
Specific slope steepness: Measured from 2‐foot topographic maps of Hennepin County LiDAR
informaƟon (LS factor)
Site‐specific soil: From the Hennepin County Soil Survey (k factor)
Crop rotaƟon and Ɵllage history: Based on review of aerial photos from 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2012
(c factor)
ExisƟng conservaƟon pracƟce: Based on aerial photographic reviews (p factor)
Regional climate condiƟons for Hennepin County
Phosphorus delivery raƟo
Some of the phosphorous reducƟon benefits from the buffer strips will be diminished depending on the distance
between the buffer strip and Lake Sarah. The vegetated buffers were further analyzed to determine the reducƟon of
phosphorus that would reach Lake Sarah, which is the phosphorous delivery raƟo (PDR). The PDR was esƟmated for
each site by considering the locaƟon and distance of the buffer strip from Lake Sarah, flow restricƟons, aerial
photographs, topography and the type of nutrient available for transport (soluble versus parƟculate). Each buffer site
was assigned a PDR ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 with 0.1 having a lowest delivery raƟo (10% from the field edge) and 1.0
having the highest delivery raƟo (100% from the field edge) to Lake Sarah. The phosphorus load that actually reaches
Lake Sarah was esƟmated by mulƟplying phosphorus reducƟon at the edge of the field and the PDR.
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 14
Cost basis for vegetated buffers
ConstrucƟon costs are esƟmated at $350 per acre of buffer area and include seedbed preparaƟon, ferƟlizer and
planƟng.
Maintenance costs are esƟmated at $100 per acre of buffer area and are figured for the complete lifespans of the
pracƟce (10 years). Maintenance costs cover weed suppression and reseeding where needed.
Crop producƟon losses are esƟmated at $800 per acre of buffer area. The largest cost associated with vegetated
buffers is the losses incurred from taking cropland out of producƟon. Although this will vary based on type of crop,
land producƟvity and crop pricing, this report uses a standard of $800 in crop producƟon losses per acre per year,
totaling $8,000 per acre over 10 years.
Design, easement and oversight costs are esƟmated as a lump sum of $6,000 per buffer and is largely for easement
development and recording.

Grassed waterways
Grassed waterways are constructed, graded channels that are
seeded to grass or other suitable vegetaƟon. Grassed waterways
are designed to slow the flow of water, conveying it to a stable a
stable outlet at a non‐erosive velocity. Grassed waterways
significantly reduce gully erosion by protecƟng the soil from
concentrated flows. The vegetaƟon may also act as a filter,
absorbing some of the chemicals and nutrients in runoff water,
and provide cover for small birds and animals.
In the construcƟon of grassed waterways, a natural drainage is
graded and shaped to form a smooth, bowl‐shaped channel and is
seeded with sod‐forming grasses. Runoff flows across the grass
rather than eroding the soil and forming a larger gully. An outlet is oŌen installed at the base of
the drainage to stabilize the waterway and prevent a new gully from forming.
The expected lifespan of a grassed waterway is 10 to 20 years. The lifespan is determined by the
amount of sediment that the grass in the waterway traps. Eventually the cropland at the edge of
the grass and the waterway itself will need to be re‐excavated to allow for the water to flow into
and down the waterway. If upland erosion is not controlled, the lifespan of the waterway is
greatly reduced.

Dance Hall Creek grassed waterway analysis parameters
Grassed waterway siƟng
Areas that would benefit from a grassed waterway were determined by in‐field site observaƟons, topographic
informaƟon (LiDAR) and analysis of aerial photographs. Visual evidence was gathered by observaƟons of the sites in
the spring of 2014 during and aŌer runoff‐generaƟng rainfall events.
Topographic evidence was based on LiDAR indicators, including incised topographic seƫngs and well‐defined drainage
areas leading to water collecƟon flowage areas.
In areas that could not be observed in the field, photographic evidence of erosion scars in cropland for two out of four
years, along with the LiDAR indicators menƟoned above, were used.
Phosphorus reducƟons
The phosphorus reducƟon that will be provided by a waterway is esƟmated using the Board of Water and Soil
Resources (BWSR) PolluƟon ReducƟons Calculator for Gully StabilizaƟon (www.bwsr.state.mn.us/outreach/eLINK/
index.html), is calculated in pounds and is measured at the edge of the field using the following input parameters:
Soil type: Silt was used for all sites
Soil loss (volume) per year: For all waterways, it was assumed that the channel erosion consisted of a 3‐
inch deep and 5‐foot wide triangular shape (0.625 cubic foot per foot of waterway) on an annual basis.
Gully (waterway) condiƟon:
It was assumed that the sediment from the waterway would fan out before entering the receiving
waters; therefore, they were considered to be non‐channelized for the purpose of the model.
Distance to receiving surface water, calculated in feet to main ditch or wetland (receiving water).
This varies from site to site but was determined from measurements between the waterway and
the receiving ditch system.
For the purpose of the model inputs, there was no filter/buffer strip upstream of waterway
installaƟon.
Phosphorus delivery raƟo
The phosphorus delivery raƟo is built into the gully stabilizaƟon program that incorporates items b and c above. No
addiƟonal reducƟons to Lake Sarah were assumed beyond what the program calculated.
Cost basis for grassed waterways
ConstrucƟon costs were esƟmated at $4 per foot of waterway and include excavaƟon and distribuƟon of the material
on‐site, seeding and mulching.
Maintenance costs were esƟmated at $0.25 per year per foot of waterway and include repair, reseeding and weed
controls. The lifespan of vegetated waterways is a minimum of 10 years.
Design and oversight costs were esƟmated as a lump sum of $1,680 per project site and include surveying, design,
staking and construcƟon inspecƟon.

Gully stabilization
Gullies are a specific form of severe erosion typically caused by concentrated
water flow on erosive soils. Concentrated water flow may begin as minor
sheet flow that produces rills and eventually results in major gully formaƟon.
Gullies can have major impacts on an area by taking land out of producƟon,
lowering the groundwater table and acƟng as a major source of sediment.
Once formed, gullies typically get deeper and wider unƟl they reach a resistant
material. Gullies oŌen form at the outlet of culverts due to the concentrated
flows and relaƟvely fast water velociƟes.
StabilizaƟon of gullies typically requires reducing the volume and the velocity
of water flowing through the gully. This can be achieved by refilling the gully
and building dikes or small check dams at specific intervals along the gully. Reshaping and stabilizing long and steep
banks may also be needed. Typical gully stabilizaƟon structures are constructed of rock, gabions or vegetaƟve barriers.
Biotechnical methods offer a combinaƟon of physical structures along with vegetaƟve measures for physical protecƟon
as well as addiƟonal long‐term root support and aestheƟcs.
Example of gully formaƟon in a farm field.

Gully locaƟons
Gully erosion sites in the Dance Hall Creek Watershed that would benefit from gully stabilizaƟon projects were deter‐
mined by in‐field site observaƟons, topographic informaƟon (LiDAR) and analysis of aerial photographs. Visual evi‐
dence was gathered during observaƟons in the spring of 2014. Topographic evidence was based on LiDAR indicators,
including incised topographic seƫngs and well‐defined drainage areas leading to water collecƟon flowage areas. In are‐
as we could not observed in the field, photographic evidence of erosion scars, sediment fans and the LiDAR indicators
menƟoned above were used.

Phosphorus reducƟons
The phosphorus reducƟon that would be achieved through gully stabilizaƟon projects is esƟmated using the BWSR
PolluƟon ReducƟons Calculator for Gully StabilizaƟon (www.bwsr.state.mn.us/outreach/eLINK/index.html), is
calculated in pounds and is measured at the boƩom of the gully using the following input parameters:
Soil type: Silt with an average bulk density of 85 lbs/cubic foot was used for all sites
Soil volume voided per year (cubic feet): Based on the severity of erosion occurring within the specific
gully. These were based on the Rapid Assessment Point Method (Inventory and EvaluaƟon of Erosion and
Sediment for Illinois by R.D. Windhorn, December, 2000.) Two disƟnct gully formaƟons were observed
within the watershed:
Slight yearly recession rate: Generally described as a gully with some bare banks but where acƟve
erosion in not readily apparent. Some rills and minimal tree root exposure are evident. Slight
recession rates vary from 1/2 to 3/4 inch per year along the weƩed perimeter of the gully. The
annual average slight gully recession rate was assumed to be 5/8 inch (0.05 feet) per year.
Moderate yearly recession rate: Generally described as a gully with predominantly bare banks with
some rills and vegetaƟve overhang. Some exposed tree roots are evident. Moderate recession
rates vary from ¾ inch to 3 ½ inches per year along the weƩed perimeter of the gully. The annual
average moderate gully recession rate was assumed to be 1 inch (0.083 feet) per year.
Gully condiƟons: Assumed to be channelized with no filter/buffer strips upstream.
WeƩed perimeter of the gully: Assumed to be 5 feet for all gullies. Assumed to have rectangular shape, 2‐
foot boƩom, and 1.5‐foot verƟcal side banks.
Phosphorus delivery raƟo
Some of the phosphorous reducƟon benefits from the gully stabilizaƟon projects will be diminished depending on the
distance between the gully and Lake Sarah. The gully stabilizaƟon projects were analyzed to determine the reducƟon
of phosphorus reaching Lake Sarah, which is the phosphorous deliver raƟo (PDR). The PDR was esƟmated for each site
by considering the locaƟon and distance of the gully from Lake Sarah, flow restricƟons, flow route, topography and the
type of nutrient available for transport (parƟculate in the case of sediment from gully erosion). Each gully was assigned
a PDR between 0.1 to 1.0 with 0.1 having a lowest delivery raƟo and 1.0 having the highest delivery raƟo to Lake Sarah.
The phosphorous load that actually reaches Lake Sarah was esƟmated by mulƟplying the phosphorus reducƟon at the
boƩom of the gully and the PDR.
Cost basis for gully stabilizaƟon
ConstrucƟon costs were esƟmated at $90 per linear foot for moderate recession rate gully controls and $50 per linear
foot for slight recession rate gully controls. Moderate recession rate projects would generally consist of clearing,
grubbing, shaping, installing riprap‐lined channels, construcƟng check dams and compleƟng restoraƟon work. Projects
with slight recession rate gullies usually involve construcƟng check dams, minimal placing of riprap and more restoring
vegetaƟon.
Design and oversight costs were esƟmated at a $5,000 lump sum per gully site and include scoping work, survey,
staking, design and construcƟon inspecƟon.
Maintenance costs were assumed to be a $250 lump sum per year per gully site and include repair work, restoraƟon
work and other erosion and vegetaƟon control.

Water and sediment control basins
Water and sediment control basins are a series of small embankments
built perpendicular to concentrated flow paths on cropland. Sediment‐
laden runoff entering the basin is stored and then slowly released
through an underground outlet. The sediment seƩles out in the basin.
Water and sediment control basins are commonly built in a parallel
series crossing the watercourse in several places in order to trap
runoff and sediment while prevenƟng the watercourse from becoming
a gully.
The basins can be designed to be farmed. The intakes that meter the
water out are typically a plasƟc perforated stand pipe about 4 feet
high.

Wetland restoration and enhancement
Wetland restoraƟons involve reestablishing or repairing the
hydrology, plants and soils of a former or degraded wetland to
as close to the original natural condiƟon as possible. These are
wetlands that have been drained, farmed or otherwise
modified. Restoring wetlands has numerous environmental
benefits, especially to store water and absorb nutrients. The
PondNet model was the primary tool used to analyze the
proposed wetland projects.

Livestock best management practices
The Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed has both producƟon and
non‐producƟon livestock faciliƟes, which differ in the
numbers and needs of the animals as wells as the
management pracƟces and goals. A primary disƟncƟon is that
producƟon animals are raised for commercial purposes for
meat and milk while non‐producƟon animals are raised
primarily for hobby. Table 8 characterizes the similariƟes and
differences between producƟon and non‐producƟon livestock
faciliƟes.
Each livestock facility is unique in its needs and requirements,
and each producer or landowner may have different
operaƟonal procedures and expectaƟons from their
operaƟon. To understand the needs and objecƟves of
producers, a detailed analysis of the faciliƟes must be
conducted in cooperaƟon with the producer before specific
projects are implemented. This would be done by surveying
and interviewing the producers and then following up with a
site invesƟgaƟon before.
MinnFARM, RUSLE2 and BWSR water polluƟon calculators
were used to model the nutrient loads to Dance Hall Creek
and Lake Sarah from livestock faciliƟes based on the site
condiƟons, field observaƟons, topography and aerial photo
analysis.
It was assumed that non‐producƟon livestock faciliƟes (i.e.,
horses) would not have a managed manure storage or
disposal system. Manure storage primarily consisted of onsite
stacking with no protecƟons. However, disposal of manure
may occur if the opportunity arose.
ProducƟon faciliƟes (i.e., dairy, beef) were assumed to have
managed, short‐term (1 or 2 month) storage and disposal
systems. It was further assumed that manure, crop and land
nutrient needs were analyzed infrequently by the landowner
(every 4 or more years).

Non‐producƟon faciliƟes
Unless otherwise noted, phosphorus and costs associated with non‐producƟon faciliƟes are assumed as follows.
Phosphorus assumpƟons:
Pasture management and exclusion fencing is adequate for each site based on aerial photo
analysis.
Storage of waste materials, although
uncontrolled, occurs on upland areas with
minimal potenƟal of surface water
contaminaƟon.
An average of 2 lbs of phosphorus reducƟon
entering Lake Sarah per site per year was
assumed based on standard export models for
phosphorus loads from uncontrolled storage
faciliƟes.
Compost bins were assumed to be the method
of controlling nutrient loads from the exisƟng
non‐producƟon faciliƟes. Compost bins were
assumed to decrease phosphorus exports to
Lake Sarah by 2 lbs. per year per facility unless
otherwise noted.
Cost assumpƟons for compost storage facility:
Compost bin material and construcƟon costs = $4,500
Yearly compost bin maintenance cost = $ 250
Design and oversight (5 hours at $75/hour) = $ 375
Total = $7,375
ProducƟon faciliƟes
The watershed contains three larger producƟon faciliƟes. One facility was not analyzed because pasture, storage and
nutrient management appeared to be adequate. The facility is located on the far eastern edge of the watershed
outside of the City of Greenfield and the legal boundary of the Pioneer‐Sarah Creek Watershed and has a very low
phosphorus delivery. The other two faciliƟes were analyzed separately using MinnFARM, RUSLE2 and standard model
export coefficients. Based on these export coefficients, it was assumed that producƟon pastures would export about 2
pounds per acre of phosphorus per year. Refer to Figure 12 for the locaƟons of the livestock faciliƟes;
Example of a compost bin for non‐producƟon or small
site livestock facility.

Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 31
Area 2 livestock sites
Livestock facility site 2a was not considered a typical non‐producƟon facility because current and pasture
and manure handling appears to be limited and current pasture/paddocks are within a floodplain and
wetlands. The facility has two horses based on review of aerial photos.
The site has two main sources of phosphorus:
1. Yearly flushing of livestock waste nutrients due to the flooding of the creek adjacent to the
paddock/pasture area. According to the University of Minnesota Extension Service, two
horses would yield about 100 pounds of phosphorus load per year. It was assumed that
10% of that load (10 pounds of phosphorous per year) would reach Lake Sarah.
2. Yearly flushing from flooding also causes erosion scour and transfers nutrients into the
creek system. About 3.4 acres of paddock area would be affected by erosion. This would
result in 0.45 tons per acre of soil loss (RUSLE2 analysis) or a total of 1.53 tons soil loss per
year. One ton of soil loss is equivalent to 1 pound of phosphorus per year, resulƟng in 1.53
pounds of phosphorus per year from this site.
Recommended BMP controls are:
Exclusion fencing around the paddock and pasture areas from the wetland and floodplain
of the creek.
Compost bin for the manure storage system
Cost assumpƟons for Livestock site 2a:
Exclusion fencing from wetland and floodplain areas:
InstallaƟon cost: 1,000 feet @ $2.50/Ō. = $2,500
Design and oversight: 5 hours @ $75/hr. = $375
Maintenance: 0.25/Ō./yr = $250/year ($2,500 for 10 years)
Total cost for exclusion fence = $5,375
ComposƟng storage facility (typical) = $7,375
Livestock facility site 2b was considered to be a typical non‐producƟon facility with one to three horses
based on review of aerial photos. ImplemenƟng a compost bin BMP would reduce phosphorous to Lake
Sarah by 2 lbs/year.
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 32
Area 3 livestock sites
Livestock facility site 3a was considered a typical non‐producƟon facility with one horse based on review of
aerial photos. ImplemenƟng a compost bin BMP would reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 2 lbs/year.
Livestock facility site 3b was not considered a typical non‐producƟon facility because manure is currently
stacked in a wetland so was not analyzed with different assumpƟons. The facility has one horse based on
review of aerial photos.
Recommended BMP controls are:
ImplemenƟng a compost bin BMP would reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 3 lbs/year.
Installing exclusion fencing around the wetland. Fencing out 0.5 acres of wetland would
reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 1 lb/year.
Cost assumpƟons for livestock site 3b:
Exclusion fencing from wetland:
InstallaƟon cost: 445 Ō @ $2.50/Ō = $1,113
Design and oversight: 5 hours @ $75/hr = $375

Area 6 livestock sites
Livestock facility site 6a was not considered a typical non‐producƟon facility because manure is currently
stacked in a wetland so was analyzed with different assumpƟons. The facility has five horses based on
review of aerial photos. ImplemenƟng a compost bin BMP would reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 4
lbs/year because it would both properly dispose of manure and eliminate the exisƟng manure pile.
Livestock facility site 6b was considered a typical non‐producƟon facility with five horses based on review
of aerial photos. ImplemenƟng a compost bin BMP would reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 2 lbs/year.
Area 7 livestock sites
Livestock facility site 7a was not considered a typical non‐producƟon facility because current pasture and
manure handling appears to be very limited. The facility has 11 animal units and four acres of pasture
appears to be over‐grazed based on review of aerial photos. Manure is stock piled adjacent to a wetland/
stream area. The MinnFARM model esƟmates a yield of 1 lb of soluble phosphorus per year from the
feedlot.
Recommended BMPs are:
Properly storing manure with a larger compost bin and beƩer manure storage locaƟon
would reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 4 lbs/year.
ConverƟng 4 acres of pasture to prescribed grazing would reduce phosphorous to Lake
Sarah by 1 lb/year.
Cost assumpƟons for livestock site 7a:
Compost bin and storage facility:
Compost bin and storage facility = $6,000
Design and oversight: 8 hours @ $75/hr = $600
Maintenance: $400/year ($4,000 for 10 years)
Total cost for compost bin and storage facility = $10,600
Prescribed grazing
Plan development and installaƟon: $200/ac = $800
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 34
Livestock facility site 7b was considered a producƟon facility with 80 animal units according to MPCA
permit. It was assumed that this site had limited manure storage adequate for less than one month,
limited nutrient management and excessive feedlot erosion. It was assumed that manure is spread over 70
acres of cropland and exisƟng manure spreading is based on transportaƟon Ɵme, field condiƟons and
cropping convenience and Ɵme between applicaƟons, but not so much on soil nutrient needs.
The site has three main sources of phosphorus:
1. Feedlot erosion: Soil loss prior to the BMP was esƟmated at 55 tons per acre (RUSLE2), and
soil loss aŌer the BMP was esƟmated at 33 tons per acre (RUSLE2). Total soil loss reducƟon
would be 22 tons per acre. Using BWSR standard of 1 ton soil loss yielding 1 pound of total
phosphorus, implemenƟng feedlot BMPs would reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 22
lbs/year.
2. Pasturing in wetland: The site currently has 27 acres of pasture in wetlands under with a
total annual phosphorous load of 54 pounds. Using exclusion fencing to remove 27 acres of
wetland from pasturing would reduce phosphorous to Lake Sarah by 54 lbs/year.
3. Nutrient and storage management on 70 acres of cropland: Average soil loss in the fields
where manure was spread was assumed to be 2.4 to 3.2 tons per acre per year (RUSLE2).
Nutrient and storage management would not reduce soil loss but would reduce soluble
phosphorous by 0.25 lbs/acre annually . This would result in a total phosphorous reducƟon
to Lake Sarah of 17.5 lbs/year from 70 acres of cropland. A storage system is essenƟal to
prevent winter spreading of manure and associated spring runoff. Benefits of storage
system improvements were not analyzed as part of this report.

Pond excavation and maintenance
In the rural residenƟal areas of the Dance Hall Creek Watershed, stormwater is conveyed to ponds through road
ditches, culverts and storm sewer pipes. The receiving ponds were sized to achieve predefined water quality goals and
are designed with controlled ouƞlows to manage discharge rates. Water discharging from ponds flows through
wetlands and/or stream channels before entering Lake Sarah.
In undeveloped areas or areas developed prior to the establishment of ponding requirements, generally no ponding
occurs except in exisƟng wetland and depressed areas.
This reports analyzes opportuniƟes to reduce phosphorus through new ponding or wetland restoraƟons. It also
examines opportuniƟes to improve maintenance of or enhance exisƟng stormwater ponds to reduce downstream
pollutants. Before and aŌer nutrient loads associated with pond excavaƟons and maintenance were analyzed using the
SWAT and NURP models.

Hydrologic restorations
The hydrologic system in most of the Dance Hall Creek Watershed has been altered by ditching and channelizing. Based
on review of historic aerial photos, these altered condiƟon were created years ago. Most of these changes were made
to improve drainage of water from the land in order to prevent flooding and increase crop producƟon on marginal
land. These pracƟces are currently one of the major contributors to the poor quality of the water that drains to Lake
Sarah from the Dance Hall Creek Watershed.
1957 2004
AddiƟonally, recent monitoring shows that parƟally drained wetlands with organics soils can become large sources of
phosphorous due to biochemical processes. This impact has been observed more in organic‐soil wetlands with frequent
wet and dry cycles. Managing wetland hydrology to maintain saturated condiƟons can reduce phosphorous discharge.
Current water management pracƟces put greater emphasis on
holding water on the landscape long enough to encourage
infiltraƟon, increase nutrient uptake, capture sediment and
control discharge rates. Restoring hydrologic systems provides
numerous benefits such as providing wildlife habitat,
floodwater retenƟon, groundwater recharge.
RestoraƟons in the Dance Hall Creek Watershed typically
involve plugging ditches and/or installing structures to control
water levels. Depending on the site condiƟons, restoraƟons can be straight‐forward in both engineering and
determining outcomes. Some may be more complex depending on the number of landowners that need to be involved.
Leadership from the City of Greenfield is needed to accomplish these large restoraƟon products as most of the wetland
restoraƟons idenƟfied would take farmland or pastureland out of producƟon. Although this provides addiƟonal water
quality benefits, they cannot be accomplished without buy‐in from and appropriate compensaƟon to the property
owner. Direct discussions with the landowners to idenƟfy their interest level and determine the necessary
compensaƟon are needed before moving forward with detailed engineering. Hennepin County staff is available to
provide the technical informaƟon for these discussions to ensure that everyone clearly understands the decisions being
made and the vision for the land aŌer restoraƟon.
The Dance Hall Creek Watershed has the space and condiƟons to incorporate restoraƟons while involving a relaƟvely
limited number of property owners. AddiƟonally, the extreme precipitaƟon and water levels observed in 2014 gave
landowners a vision of what condiƟons may be like in the future.
Example of a hydrologic restoraƟon.
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 42
Costs for restoraƟons can be variable and were esƟmated assuming a 20‐year lifespan. Cost esƟmates for each
restoraƟon are assumed to be:
Easement costs = $5,000
Project design and construcƟon oversight = $10,000
Easement administraƟon, coordinaƟon, outreach and project coordinaƟon = $6,000
InspecƟon and maintenance costs = $500/yr
Structural installaƟon = $25,000
The restoraƟons idenƟfied can provide a funding mechanism and incenƟve by earning wetland credits. The Board of
Water and Soil Resources currently pays around $10,000 per acre for wetland credits to offset impacts due to road
projects or to add to the private sector wetland bank in which wetland credits typically sell for $0.75‐$1.25/sq. Ō.

Appendix
Modeling methods
The following informaƟon describes each water quality model applied in this analysis and the inputs used to run the
model.
Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to model runoff from the Dance Hall Creek subwatershed
draining to Lake Sarah. SWAT is a parƟally physically based and parƟally empirically based watershed model (Neitsch
et al., 2005) developed at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (SWAT is currently
supported by the Blacklands Research and Extension Center at Texas A&M University). The SWAT model runs on a daily
Ɵme step and is intended to model large agricultural watersheds. The model has been calibrated and validated to
many watersheds in the United States and around the world (Gassman, 2007). The release used for this project was
ArcSWAT2012 for ArcGIS version 10.1. All SWAT modeling and field assessments were conducted by Three Rivers Park
District staff during the Lake Sarah TMDL and Hennepin County staff during the Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed
Assessment.
The SWAT model simulates the hydrologic cycle accounƟng for the following processes: precipitaƟon, overland runoff,
infiltraƟon, percolaƟon through one or more soil layers, evaporaƟon, plant transpiraƟon, interacƟon with the shallow
aquifer,and loss to a deep aquifer (Arnold et al., 1998). Water is delivered to the stream as overland runoff, lateral flow
and groundwater flow and is routed through defined stream channels to the watershed outlet. SWAT also models off‐
channel, surface‐water bodies such as wetlands and ponds and on‐channel bodies such as reservoirs.
Sediment export from uplands is calculated in SWAT with the Modified Universal Soil Loss EquaƟon (MUSLE; Williams,
1975). Factors that control sediment export predicted by the MUSLE are surface runoff, peak flow, soil erodibility,
biomass and residue present, cropping pracƟces, slope length, and percentage of coarse fragments (i.e., stones) of soil.
SimulaƟon of phosphorus and nitrogen cycles in SWAT uses inputs of inorganic ferƟlizer, organic ferƟlizer, plant
residue, and, for nitrogen, rainwater. Nitrogen is parƟƟoned between five mineral and organic pools within the soil and
is transferred between and out of these pools through export, decay, mineralizaƟon, nitrificaƟon and denitrificaƟon,
volaƟlizaƟon, and plant uptake. Similarly, SWAT models five soil phosphorus pools with transfer between and out of
these pools through export, decay, mineralizaƟon, immobilizaƟon and plant uptake. Nitrogen and phosphorus are
exported via overland runoff, lateral flow and groundwater flow to the stream channel, though they are only tracked
through overland runoff and lateral flow. In the stream reaches, in‐stream nutrient processes can be simulated with
the imbedded QUAL2E submodel, or the nutrients can be delivered to the reach outlet unprocessed. Given the
channelized nature of most streams and that the primary driver of nutrient dynamics throughout the Dance Hall Creek
subwatershed is wetland processing, in‐stream process subrouƟnes were not uƟlized in this analysis. Plant growth is
modeled directly in SWAT based on simplified crop growth equaƟons from the Erosion ProducƟvity‐Impact Calculator
(EPIC) with controlling inputs including temperature, solar radiaƟon, nutrient availability, and water.
SWAT spaƟal inputs
SpaƟal inputs for the Dance Hall Creek SWAT model included digital elevaƟon, land use and soils. All data for the
Dance Hall Creek watershed were projected into the Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 15 with the North American
Datum, 1983. The Dance Hall Creek watershed and sub‐basins were delineated from the Hennepin County 2 Foot
contour intervals derived from the spring 2012 Minnesota DNR LIDAR digital elevaƟon model (DEM). This delineaƟon
was updated with water rouƟng informaƟon from the Greenfield department of public works and field observaƟons.
Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) soil data were downloaded from the US Department of Agriculture‐Natural
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 45
Resources ConservaƟon Service (USDA‐NRCS) Soil Data Mart website. These data are organized by county and are the
most detailed available for the watershed. The SSURGO dataset included 61 soils in the Dance Hall Creek watershed.
Land use input for the model was generated from the 2014 Hennepin County parcel dataset, which includes land use as
it relates to the tax code. These land uses were updated and subdivided using 2012 high‐resoluƟon Hennepin County
aerial photographs and field observaƟons. The resulƟng land use dataset was converted to a grid.
Sub‐basins in the Dance Hall Creek subwatershed were refined using field observaƟons and known locaƟons of stream
channels, culverts and ponds. The final sub‐basin configuraƟon included seven sub‐basins ranging from from 21 to 330
hectares. The watershed had 132 HRUs.
Agriculture
The major land use in the Dance Hall Creek Watershed is agriculture. The majority of producers grow corn (for grain),
soybeans and occasionally wheat in rotaƟon. There are also several farms that grow corn (for grain), soybeans, alfalfa
and corn (for silage) for a mix of grain crops and animal consumpƟon. Hay and alfalfa are grown on other fields
throughout the watershed for animal consumpƟon.
The number of animal units in the subwatershed was based on survey results used in the Three River Park District’s
Lake Sarah Watershed Total Daily Maximum Load model. The 2008 survey found that 38 parcels within the
subwatershed had farm animals, the majority of which were horses (33). Seven parcels had caƩle and three had goats.
These totals include several parcels that had more than one type of animal. There were 129 horses, 103 caƩle, four
goats and a donkey observed. Manure from the goats and donkey were not included in the watershed model.
Most animal operaƟons in the Lake Sarah watershed are hobby horse farms with between one and 11 horses. The
majority of these operaƟons include a small, dirt feedlot and an area of associated pasture. Manure on small horse
farms is not collected from the pasture. Manure is collected out of the barn and occasionally scraped from the feedlot
and stockpiled. Stockpiled manure was not modeled directly in SWAT; rather, half of the manure from each operaƟon
was applied to the feedlot and the other half to the pasture. The feedlot manure was assumed to include both the dirt
feedlot and the manure stockpile. In the three operaƟons without obvious pastures, the enƟre quanƟty of manure was
applied to the feedlot. The conƟnuous ferƟlizaƟon funcƟon in SWAT applied manure to the landscape daily.
The specific manure management acƟviƟes of the dairy and beef producers are unknown. For modeling purposes, the
Three Rivers Park District assumed that 50 percent of the manure from these operaƟons was collected based on a herd
size of fewer than 25 animals (Powell et al., 2005). The collected manure was applied to nearby agricultural fields. Solid
manure and bedding applicaƟon to agricultural fields was observed in the watershed from February to April 2009. The
remaining uncollected manure was assumed to remain – half to each the pasture and the feedlot associated with the
operaƟon.
ResidenƟal and urban land uses
A variety of urban and residenƟal land uses are present in the Dance Hall Creek watershed. The percentage of
impervious area in each of the land uses guided how the land use type was represented in the SWAT model.
Wetlands
Wetlands exert a large influence in the Dance Hall Creek watershed by detaining water and seƩling out nutrients.
Because wetlands cannot be explicitly modeled in SWAT, on‐channel wetlands were modeled as “reservoirs.” Each
“reservoir” was assigned to a sub‐basin and individually parameterized according to the normal surface area/volume
(which corresponds to bank‐full condiƟons) and the emergency surface area/volume (which correspond with maximum
flooded condiƟons) to match the monitored hydrograph and water quality data. Each wetland was parameterized with
a number of days to return to the normal pool volume aŌer exceeding the emergency pool volume.
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 46
CalibraƟon
Using the Curve Number method, SWAT is a daily Ɵme step model and precipitaƟon is input as daily values.
PrecipitaƟon, as recorded by the cooperaƟve observer staƟon at Rockford, is recorded as an 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. day.
Streamflow is averaged as a midnight to midnight day. The SWAT model(s) was calibrated to monitored phosphorus
concentraƟons. CalibraƟon parameters that affect landscape phosphorus export were set to the same value. The Three
Rivers Park District TMDL SWAT model lowered the USLE P factor to reduce landscape phosphorus loads to expected
quanƟƟes. Other parameters altered were the phosphorus soil parƟƟoning coefficient and the width of vegetated field
edges. The phosphorus sorpƟon coefficient and the soil labile phosphorus concentraƟon were calculated based on soil
parameters in the Lake Sarah watershed (Vadas and White, unpublished). The phosphorus concentraƟon in the
groundwater was set to 50 μg/L, which corresponds to observaƟons of regional surficial Quaternary groundwater
reported by MPCA (1999). Finally, wetlands were assumed to seƩle phosphorus from August to May and release
phosphorus in June and July based on inspecƟon of the monitoring data by Three Rivers Park District. Final land use
phosphorus exports are consistent with corresponding literature esƟmates (see land use‐modeled average phosphorus
yields table).
Model validaƟon
The Three Rivers Park District SWAT model developed for the Lake Sarah TMDL was calibrated to two years of
monitoring data for the two largest inputs into the stream, the east and west tributaries. The calibrated parameters
were used for BMP models in the Dance Hall Creek sub‐basin as this watershed shares very similar land use, soils and
topographic characterisƟcs. The parameters used in the model validaƟon by the Three Rivers Park District are noted in

Buffer strip analysis
Buffer strips were analyzed using the Board of Water and Soil Resources’ PolluƟon ReducƟon Calculator for Filter Strips
(www.bwsr.state.mn.us/outreach/eLINK/indes.html). ExisƟng condiƟons were modeled uƟlizing the USDA, NRCS
Revised Universal Soil Loss EquaƟon (RUSLE2).
Input parameters and assumpƟons used for the BWSR Calculator for Filter Strips:
Parameters for the filter strip area (buffer):
Pre‐exisƟng soil loss in filter strip area = 1.0 tons/acre
Post‐construcƟon soil loss in filter strip area = 0.027 tons/acre
Soil type = Silt (85 lbs/cu.Ō.)
Buffer width = 35 feet
Filter strip area is variable (Length of filter strip x 35’ buffer width)
Parameters for upland runoff treatment.
Filter strip watershed areas are variable for each site. Surface area drainage across the filter strip
was measured from two‐foot (2’) topographic data (LiDAR) overlaid on aerial photographs of the
areas being analyzes. Areas are measured in acres.
Upland soil loss before treatment is based on the average soil loss within the contribuƟng area
leading to the filter strip. Average soil loss was esƟmated using the USDA NRCS RUSLE2 program on
all farm fields within the watershed. Where filter strips are located, the average soil loss from the
upland surface area from the contribuƟng field area draining to the filter strip was used.
Filter strip funcƟon as designed (yes or no input in the BWSR Calculator for Filter Strips) was
considered yes on all filter strips.
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 49
Grassed waterway and gully stabilization analysis
The esƟmates for reducƟons in soil loss, sediment and aƩached phosphorus delivery for gully stabilizaƟon and grassed
waterways are based on esƟmaƟon of soil volume voided per year. The esƟmate assumes that once the pracƟce is in
place, the stabilized condiƟon controls gully erosion. Soil loss reducƟon from the pracƟce is equal to soil erosion before
the project was put in place. A sediment delivery raƟo (SDR) is assigned based on characterisƟcs of flow from the gully
or waterway and is applied to esƟmate sediment reducƟon. Sediment‐aƩached phosphorus reducƟon is esƟmated
from the sediment reducƟon, default phosphorus content of 1.0 pound. of phosphorus per 1 ton of soil and a
correcƟon for soil texture. The inputs and assumpƟons used for this calculator (www.bwsr.state.mn.us/pracƟces/
polluƟon_reducƟon.html) were as follows:
Soil type = silt for all sites
Soil volume voided per year (cubic feet): For all waterways, a 3‐inch deep gully in a 5‐foot wide parabolic
shape (0.625 cubic foot per foot of waterway) formed every year was assumed.
Number of years to form the gully: yearly occurrence was assumed
Gully condiƟon: assumed that the gully fans out before entering the receiving water. For the calculator, the
input is non‐channelized.
Distance to receiving surface water (feet to main ditch or wetland) measured along the route the water
takes to get to the receiving water.
Presence of a filter strip before waterway insƟllaƟon (in all cases there were no filter strips)
Water and sediment control basins
The Water and Sediment Control Basin for field 1‐7 was analyzed based on the USDA NRCS RUSLE2 calculator
(hƩp://fargo.nserl.purdue.edu/rusle2_dataweb/RUSLE2_Index.htm) The exisƟng condiƟons were measured using
LiDAR topographic informaƟon to determine the average length and steepness of slope where the water and sediment
basin would be placed. The Soil Survey for Hennepin County was used to determine the soil type in the field being
analyzed. Crop management for field 1‐7 was assumed as a corn‐soybean rotaƟon based on historic aerial
photographic analysis for the years 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009 and 2012. Cropping direcƟons were straight row, non
‐contoured. The water and sediment control basin was posiƟoned in the middle of the slope for this analysis.
Wetland restoration and enhancement and pond excavation and maintenance.
These sites were analyzed uƟlizing the NaƟonal Urban Runoff Program, Design CalculaƟons for Wet DetenƟon Ponds
developed by Wm. Walker (www.wwwalker.net/pdf/spwudes.pdf). This program esƟmates nutrient loads from exisƟng
ponds and wetlands based on the land use (% impervious area and phosphorus concentraƟon), watershed area and
average mean pond depth. Surface area was measured from 2012 aerial photographs. Impervious areas for agriculture
watershed were adjusted to 25% impervious area to account for an average phosphorus load of 1.0 pound per acre
based on average nutrient loads produced from agriculture producƟon fields from research and the Elm Creek WMC
and Pioneer‐Sarah Creek WMC water quality standards (hƩp://elmcreekwatershed.org/files/342.pdf,
hƩp://pioneersarahcreek.org/files/455.pdf, www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/view‐document.html?gid=3977,
www.ars.usda.gov/research/publicaƟons/publicaƟons.htm?SEQ_NO_115=280936). Pre‐construcƟon average mean
depth was measured by photographic and in‐field evidence of emergent vegetaƟon or lack thereof (caƩails: 2 feet,
sedges: 6 inches, reed canary grass: less than 6 inches, open water: 3 feet or greater). Watershed areas varied for each
pond/wetland area but were based on LiDAR topographic delineaƟons. Post‐construcƟon average mean depth for the
NURP program input was 3.3 feet for pond maintenance and excavaƟon and outlet elevaƟons on wetland restoraƟons
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 50
and enhancements. For pond maintenance and excavaƟon, 3.3 feet average mean depth is recommended for the
greatest pollutant (phosphorus) removal efficiency based on research and development of the PondNet (NURP)
program by Walker used in this sub watershed assessment.
Livestock
We uƟlized a variety of programs for our analysis of soil loss and nutrient loads for the livestock secƟon of this report.
RUSLE2 (Revised Universal Soil Loss EquaƟon)
In the case of sites 2a erosion scour and 7b feedlot erosion, the Revised Universal Soil Loss EquaƟon (RUSLE 2) was
used as the basis for soil loss and load reducƟons before and aŌer BMP implementaƟon within the feedlots. The
exisƟng condiƟons were measured using LiDAR topographic informaƟon to determine the average length and
steepness of slope. The Soil Survey for Hennepin County was used to determine the soil type in the field being
analyzed. Base management in RUSLE 2 on both sites was considered single year rotaƟon of forage, pasture,
conƟnuously grazed with severe overuse and a low pasture yield. A supporƟng pracƟce of a diversion in the post
development RUSLE 2 analysis, placed in the middle of the slope was considered on site 7b. For post BMP site 2a
erosion scour, the BMP pasture exclusion fencing and stable vegetaƟon condiƟons with no scour and no phosphorus
loads was assumed for the RUSLE 2 analysis
Nutrient and storage management analysis for pre‐BMP nutrient loss on the cropland areas where manure disposal
occurs from site 7b used RUSLE2. The disposal area for manure within the Dance Hall Creek Watershed was assumed
to be 70 acres. Our analysis used a 6‐year crop rotaƟon of: corn, soybeans, small grain, alfalfa, alfalfa, alfalfa, before
and aŌer nutrient management occurred on this cropland. AŌer‐BMP analysis for nutrient management on 70 acres
used parameters for RUSLE2 as the exisƟng inputs but uƟlized the recent Sauk River nutrient management program
results that showed an average reducƟon in phosphorus loads to the Sauk River of 0.25 lbs/ac. per acre of cropland
nutrient management enrolled in their program.
MinnFARM (Minnesota Feedlot Annualized Runoff Model)
The MinnFARM model was used for livestock site 7a to determine feedlot runoff. MinnFARM was developed to
calculate the annual pollutant loading from a feedlot in Minnesota. The model is based in part on algorithms from the
Feedlot EvaluaƟon Model (1982) model developed by the Agricultural Research Service for prioriƟzing feedlot polluƟon
potenƟal based on a single 25‐year, 24‐hour event. MinnFARM esƟmates annual pollutant loadings for COD,
phosphorus, nitrogen, BOD and fecal coliforms at the end of a defined treatment area.
For livestock site 7a the following input parameters were used in determining annual pollutant loads from this feedlot.
Total feedlot area = 0.60 acres
Roof area = 0.10 acres
Total area 2 = 0.82 acres
Total buffer area = 0.77 acres
Total area 3 = 5.51 acres
RaƟo of buffer to feedlot area (includes Area 2) = 0.54
Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis 51
For all pastureland nutrient assumpƟons for exclusion fencing, an average phosphorus load of 2.0 pounds per acre of
phosphorus export was used as the base average nutrient load produced on pastureland. This amount of load was
based on research into studies idenƟfying nutrient loads from various sources (www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/view‐
document.html?gid=3977, www.ars.usda.gov/research/publicaƟons/publicaƟons.htm?SEQ_NO_115=280936) and the
loads the Pioneer‐Sarah Creek and Elm Creek watersheds water quality standard for pasture areas (hƩp://

view‐document.html?gid=3977, www.ars.usda.gov/research/publicaƟons/publicaƟons.htm?SEQ_NO_115=280936)
Cropland RUSLE2
The Revised Universal Soil Loss EquaƟon was used on all cropland within the Dance Hall Creek Watershed. This in turn
was incorporated into various other models (to determine before and aŌer nutrient loads; the exisƟng condiƟons were
measured using LiDAR topographic informaƟon to determine the average length and steepness of slope). The Soil
Survey for Hennepin County was used to determine the soil type in the field being analyzed. Appendix Table 1 lists the
field idenƟfiers and input parameters used for each measurement in each field.
Crop abbreviaƟons used were: c for corn, sb for soybean, sg for small grain and h for hay.
Climate locaƟon parameters for the program were from the NRCS Climate database website (hƩp://
fargo.nserl.purdue.edu/rusle2_dataweb/NRCS_Climate_Database.htm). Minnesota, Hennepin County averages were
used. Base crop management parameters used Climate Management Zone 4 from the NRCS Climate Database (hƩp://
fargo.nserl.purdue.edu/rusle2_dataweb/RUSLE2_Program.htm). General crop management used convenƟonal Ɵllage
and an average 150 bushels per acre for corn. Mulch Ɵllage and 45 bushels per acre was used for soybeans.
The following map corresponds to the preceding table that lists the field idenƟfiers and input parameters used for
each measurement in each field.
