Lake McCarrons Subwatershed BMP CWP Project

Lake McCarrons is an 81-acre lake that is located in the southeastern corner of the City of Roseville within the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) (see Figure 1 for location). A series of wetlands and open waters known as the Villa Park Wetland System (VPWS) is located to the northwest of the Lake and accounts for up to 72 percent of the total 1044-acre Lake McCarrons watershed. A popular 15-acre county park is situated along the eastern side of the lake. Lake McCarrons is a high quality recreational water body, and CRWD is committed to maintaining its integrity by managing pollutant loading from its subwatersheds, including the VPWS. Extensive monitoring and modeling has led the CRWD to develop a summer average TP concentration goal in Lake McCarrons of 33 parts per billion (ppb) or less.
