2014-04

This report sets Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for six water bodies included on the MPCA’s 303(d) list of impaired waters in 2008 (Lambert Creek) and 2010 (Gem, East Goose, West Goose, Gilfillan, and Wilkinson Lakes). The lakes and stream addressed in this report are within the Upper Mississippi River Basin within the jurisdiction of the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO), which covers approximately 25 square miles in the northeast Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The watershed encompasses the City of North Oaks and portions of the Cities of White Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Vadnais Heights, Lino Lakes, and White Bear Township, Minnesota. Figure E-1 shows the locations of the impaired waters in the state of Minnesota, and their location within the VLAWMO watershed. Figure E-2 shows the impaired waters and their tributary watersheds.
