Report to the Minnesota State Legislature: Concept Cost Report for Augmentation of White Bear Lake with Surface Water

Report to the Minnesota State Legislature: Concept Cost Report for Augmentation of White Bear Lake with Surface Water

2016-02

In 2015, the Minnesota Legislature directed the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), in consultation with the Metropolitan Council, to estimate the cost to use surface water from the Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) chain of lakes to augment White Bear Lake. This report provides concept level cost estimate and describes the assumptions on which the cost estimates are based. The report identifies information and engineering that would be needed to develop more detailed costs and identifies issues that would need to be resolved prior to determining final costs. This report does not evaluate the effects of augmentation on lake or aquifer levels or water quality.
