Project Description

This proposed project that will remove sediment that has collected in the main channel of the North Branch of Bassett Creek within Bassett Creek Park Pond and Winnetka Pond in the City of Crystal. The project will improve water quality downstream by trapping sediment in the pond, thus minimizing sediment passing downstream to Bassett Creek. Additional information will be available upon completion of the feasibility study in May 2017.
