Phalen Chain of Lakes Strategic Lake Management Plan Improvement Options and Recommendations

Phalen Chain of Lakes Strategic Lake Management Plan Improvement Options and Recommendations

2004

The purpose of this Strategic Lake Management Plan (SLMP) is to establish priorities and provide guidelines for the cities of Maplewood, Little Canada, and St. Paul; Ramsey County; the Ramsey- Washington Metropolitan Watershed District (District); and citizens for meeting water quality goals set for the Phalen Chain of Lakes (Lakes Kohlman, Gervais, Keller and Phalen)—upstream and downstream. These goals were recommended for water bodies within the District in the Watershed Management Plan (Barr Engineering Company, 1997). This SLMP identifies watershed best management practices (BMPs) and in-lake management practices that may help achieve the goals for each lake. Estimated costs for the various management practices have been identified, along with recommendations for the most cost-effective improvements and practices. Figure 1 shows the location of the study area in relation to the entire RWMWD watershed.
