Tanners Lake Berm

A berm along Tanners Lake helps with flood water retention and water quality.

Project Details*

City Oakdale
Subwatershed Tanners Lake
Completed 1998
Cost $1.9 Million
Funding sources District funds, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency State Revolving Fund Loan

 

 

Overview

A berm (earthen dam) was constructed along the edge of the lake to route stormwater from the park into an existing basin and extend water storage following large storm events. Rerouting the water allowed for treatment and settling of sediment and nutrients before it enters the lake.

*This project is part of a larger plan called Tanners Water Quality Improvements, which was implemented based on results of a diagnostic feasibility study that began in 1989. The other related projects include:

Tanners Lake Alum Treatment Facility

Tanners Lake 5th Street Basin

Tanners Lake Tartan High School Pond
