Results of Golden Lake Phosphorus Load Reduction Demonstration Project

2010-03

This report outlines the results of the Golden Lake Phosphorus Load Reduction Demonstration Project that was undertaken as a cooperative effort between the City of Circle Pines and Rice Creek Watershed District. The objective of the project was to study and gather additional information on the viability of using a flocculation treatment system to improve the water quality in and around Golden Lake as well as in other lakes, streams, and wetlands within the State of Minnesota. As part of this effort, a portable flocculation treatment system was installed and operated in the summer of 2009 in an area immediately upstream of Golden Lake in the City of Circle Pines (Figure 1). As part of the system operation, sampling and testing of influent and effluent concentrations was undertaken, along with monitoring of flow rates and other operational parameters. Upon completion of this testing, the results were analyzed and findings were made related to pollutant removal efficiencies, the cost for removal and suggested refinements to the system design. This information is included within this report.
