Turning Tight Spaces into Big Solutions: Testing a High-Volume Stormwater Filter

Minnesota Sea Grant's Maggie Karschnia is moderating a research spotlight titled "Turning Tight Spaces into Big Solutions: Testing a high-volume stormwater filter at Rosland Park," as part of St. Anthony Falls Laboratory and Water Resource Center's Minnesota Stormwater Seminar series. 

The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (NMCWD) and the City of Edina joined forces to create a groundbreaking stormwater filtration system in Rosland Park designed by Barr Engineering, designed to reduce phosphorus loading into Lake Cornelia in a tight, urban setting. This innovative active best management practice includes an anthracite prefilter followed by three different parallel media filters, specifically engineered to remove dissolved phosphorus in a small but powerful system.

This hybrid event will share about the results of this study, followed by a panel discussion that will include the research team and other practitioners that are stepping up to meet the challenge of fitting water quality practices in small, urban footprints.

This free event is open to the public. Registration for in-person or virtual attendance is required.
