Reitz Lake TMDL Implementation Plan

Reitz Lake, a deep drainage lake located in the North Central Hardwood Forest (NCHF) ecoregion in the center of Carver County, Minnesota, was designated as an impaired water by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for total phosphorus concentrations the exceed State established standards. Carver County Land and Water Services (CCLWS) has completed a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) to quantify the pollutant reductions needed to meet the water quality standards for total phosphorus in the lake in accordance with Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act.
