Engineer s Report For School Section Lake Outlet Project 0017-01 June 2017 Prepared for: Clearwater River Watershed District 75 Elm St E PO Box 481 Annandale, Minnesota 55389 Board of Managers: Robert Schiefelbein, Chair Chris Uecker, Vice-Chair Kathy Jonsrud, Treasurer Paul DeGree, Secretary Robert Rocheleau Prepared by: Wenck Associates, Inc. 7500 Highway 55 Suite 300 Golden Valley, MN 55427-4800 I hereby certify that this report was prepared by me or under my direct supervision and that I am a duly registered Professional Engineer under the laws of the State of Minnesota. Date: 27 June 2017 Rev. 10 August 2017 Rebecca Carlson, P.E. (MN) Registration no. 42013 June 2017- Rev August 2017 iii

1.0 Project Location The project is replacement of an outlet on School Section Lake which is located in Stearns County north of the City of Kimball, Minnesota (T121N, R29W, S1 and S36, Figure 1.1). Figure 1.1: Project Location School Section Lake is a 193 acre land locked lake located in the Clearwater River Watershed District. The watershed tributary to the lake, 1,843 acres, is shown in Figure 1.2. June 2017- Rev August 2017 1-1

Figure 1.2: School Section Lake Watershed June 2017- Rev August 2017 1-2

2.0 Project Need DNR Records show that the 193 acre lake was landlocked up to 1,147 (datum not specified but USGS Quad maps are specified so it is likely NGVD 29) until the District constructed an outlet in 1984 as District Project #84-1. LiDAR indicates the outlet may be closer to 1,149 ft NGVD. Residents on the lake petitioned the District to install an outlet to alleviate high water levels on the lake. The peak lake level, 1,137.9 feet NGVD was measured in May of 1984. At that time, the DNR memo dated June 1, 1984 indicated 14 homes and cabins were destroyed or affected by the lake level and an additional 5 structures were at risk in 1984 due to the 1,137.9 lake elevation. Lake elevations are shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 (source, DNR Lake Finder). Since its installation, the outlet has maintained the lake below the OHW of 1,135.4. The DNR permitted elevation for the controlled outlet is 1,133.9. Figure 2.2 shows a finer scale of the past 10 years of lake elevations. During the past 10 years, the outlet generally discharges in the spring and summer. It is also important to note that according to the DNR, larger storms are becoming more frequent in Minnesota: Infographic: Timeline of Minnesota s Historic mega-rain events 1866-2014 June 2017- Rev August 2017 2-1

Lake Elevation (ft NGVD) Figure 2.1: Historic Lake Elevations 1,140 1,138 1,136 1,134 1,132 1,130 1,128 D-06 D-07 D-08 D-09 D-10 D-11 D-12 D-13 D-14 D-15 D-16 D-17 Date Lake Level 1984 Lake Level DNR OHW Figure 2.2: 10 year Record Lake Elevations The original outlet comprised a structure at the lake, a drop manhole, and hundreds of feet of 24-inch CMP, 36-inch CMP and open ditch. A schematic of the system is shown in Figure 2.3. The remainder of the original design plans are provided with the concept design in Appendix A. The original project cost in 1984 was $206,000. The 2017 value of $206,000 is $484,812. June 2017- Rev August 2017 2-2

The conveyance downstream of the lake was sized to provide adequate outlet for the lake. As a District project, the outlet and its conveyance is inspected annually and maintained as needed. Currently, no maintenance is planned or needed. Figure 2.3: Original Outlet District staff reports show the outlet structure within the lake was repaired/maintained at least twice, and may have been repaired up to three additional times. Maintenance/ repairs occurred sometime in the late 1980 s or early 1990 s, 1997, 2007, 2011 and 2015. This is a recurrence of 2-5 times in 33 years. The repairs to the lake outlet are the result of a combination of ice damage, accumulated sediment in the conveyance, and wildlife building nests in the outlet. In addition to the ongoing cost of outlet repairs, obstruction of the outlet during a high water event poses the risk of damage to buildings due to flooding. The photo below shows the shoreline of School Section Lake near the outlet. The shoreline substrate is primarily rock and sand, and there is some evidence of heaving of the shoreline from ice. It appears as though ice has, from time to time, caused damage to the grate on the existing outlet as well as to the CMP. High water and wave action also has likely contributed to the erosion and characteristics along the shoreline in this location. June 2017- Rev August 2017 2-3

School Section Lake Outlet- Lakeshore Photos Following the most recent repair, district staff installed I-beams in front of the outlet which were intended to shield the outlet from ice damage. This I-beam installation addressed the immediate need to maintain a functional outlet; the urgency at that time did not afford the District the ability to design the barrier as a long-term element of the outlet and did not June 2017- Rev August 2017 2-4

incorporate the full range of design considerations such as those pertaining to safety and appearance. At its May 17, 2017 meeting, the District Board of Managers initiated Project #17-1 incorporating the existing Project #84-1 with construction of a permanent ice barrier and directed the Engineer to prepare a report pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 103D.711. Among other things, the engineer was directed to estimate the cost of a repair to the outlet and compare it to the ongoing cost of repairing the outlet and cleaning out accumulated sediment in the outlet. The proposed Project entails constructing a box weir around the CMP at the lake shore. However, the outlet within the lake is only one component of the entire Project which will include maintenance of the entire conveyance that comprises the outlet over the lifecycle of the proposed project. The relatively low cost of altering the outlet should be more cost effective and lower the risk of flooding due to accumulated sediment and ice damage. The Project will not increase flows from the lake and therefore does not raise a question as to an adequate downstream Project outlet since the original downstream conveyance was sized to accommodate the outflow. June 2017- Rev August 2017 2-5

3.0 Alternatives Considered Three alternatives considered are described in this section. It is important to note that the DNR has indicated that if existing I-beam structure was damaged, a different structure or alternative will likely be required. 3.1 OPTION 1: DO NOTHING Leave the outlet as is with the I-beams to shield against ice damage. This alternative does not prevent sediment or wildlife from migrating into the pipe but may provide some protection from ice damage. This alternative was not selected due to ongoing maintenance and repair costs due to removal of sediment, the threat of flooding, and the fact that the installation was not designed as a long-term outlet design with full consideration of visual and safety elements. 3.2 OPTION 2: REMOVE I-BEAMS AND LEAVE OUTLET AS IS Remove the I-beams and leave the outlet as is otherwise. This alternative leaves the outlet subject to periodic ice damage and the potential to clog. There is no way to predict the return frequency of ice damage to the outlet. This alternative was not selected due to ongoing maintenance and repair costs related to ice damage and removal of sediment, and the threat of flooding. 3.3 OPTION 3: CONSTRUCT A COVERED WEIR BOX AROUND THE OUTLET Construct a sheet pile weir box tied back into the bank to protect the CMP. Set the elevation of the weir box to the DNR required outlet elevation of 1133.9. Because the weir is set at the outlet elevation, the weir box itself will prevent sediment migration. Rip rap at the bank and between the weir and the CMP will provide stilling and protect against sediment transport downstream and bank erosion. This alternative should afford greater protection against ice damage, as well as prevent sediment from migrating into the pipe. The proposed cover and grates have also been successful at excluding wildlife from the pipe. A similar outlet has been in operation at Pleasant Lake with positive results and low maintenance costs. The locking cap itself may not withstand ice heave, however the lake elevations are typically below the outlet elevation and so ice should act on the weir box, not the cap. In the event that the lake freezes at a high elevation, the locking cap may need to be replaced. June 2017- Rev August 2017 3-6

4.0 Project Compatibility with State and Federal Law 4.1 WATERSHED DISTRICT AUTHORITY The Clearwater River Watershed Districts authority to take action on the implementation of this project is found in the Minnesota Watershed Act as taken from Minnesota Statues Chapter 103D.335. 4.2 CONTENT OF THE ENGINEER S REPORT This Engineer s Report is prepared in accordance with Minnesota Statute 103D.711 under the Minnesota Watershed Act. 4.3 CONFORMANCE WITH OVERALL PLAN The Clearwater River Watershed District requires projects undertaken under its jurisdiction to be consistent with the overall plan. This project is consistent with the overall plan as specifically addressed in Section 7, Policies. 4.4 OTHER REQUIREMENTS The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will require a permit for work in public waters for this project. It has reviewed the preliminary design and identified regulatory concerns, which have been addressed by the recommended solution. June 2017- Rev August 2017 4-1

5.0 Economic Consideration and Benefits 5.1 EXISTING AND ANTICIPATED BENEFITS Under 103D.721 managers may determine benefits and damages with the assistance of the engineer. This section is a compilation of information the managers may use to set benefits. The original School Section Lake project was constructed to alleviate flooding that occurred in 1984 and provide future flood protection for the residential lands and structures riparian to the lake. Fourteen to 19 structures were damaged or destroyed during the 1984 flood event. A portion of the original outlet was damaged. Replacing the damaged portion of the outlet and maintaining the conveyance are both required to provide School Section Lake an outlet. Both are necessary to reduce the risk of flooding to riparian land and structures. The proposed project, #17-1, includes two elements required to provide School Section Lake with an outlet. They are: Constructing a weir box around the upstream most component of the outlet to reduce the risk of sediment clogging the outlet and provide additional protection against ice damage Maintaining the remainder of the outlet conveyance which was constructed as part of Project #84-1. The proposed project should reduce maintenance costs and provide additional protection against ice heave and sediment migration downstream as well provide a cover for the outlet. In addition to reducing maintenance cost, reduction in sediment transport will protect habitat downstream by eliminating the potential for sediment transport and the need mitigate for it. 5.2 SUPPORT FOR DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS District staff, legal and managers have identified several elements the Board of Managers may use to set benefits. These include: 1. The cost to cure a potential flood event like the one which occurred in 1984 prompting construction of the outlet. The engineer has quantified this by using the taxable value of the riparian structures potentially damaged based on LIDAR elevation. 2. A temporary reduction in land value due to an acute flooding event. Limited data exists as to the impact of temporary flooding on property values. A literature review suggested a range of possible reductions in property values. The engineer quantified what the low end of the reduction in property values reported would be on the taxable value of structures and land for riparian homes. 3. Reduction in maintenance costs due to the project. The resulting values are summarized in Table 5.1, and described in the following sections for use by the managers to establish benefits. June 2017- Rev August 2017 5-1

Table 5.1: Summary of Engineer s Assistance for Board Use in Determining Benefits Description Estimate Flood damaged structures $1,348,400 15% reduction in property values $1,421,895 Reduction in maintenance cost over 50 $53,300 year lifecycle of weir outlet 5.2.1 Flood Damage: Properties riparian to a land locked lake with no natural outlet are at risk of flooding. Prior to installation of the original project in 1984, between 14 and 19 homes were damaged or destroyed by high spring water levels. Ice damage and sediment migration into the outlet structure on the lake have reduced the outlet capacity periodically and required repairs in the past. To date repairs have been made prior to lake levels rising enough to cause damage, however an outlet structure susceptible to early season failure could cause flood elevations that damage riparian homes and property. The taxable value of potentially flooded structures in a singular event similar to the flood of 1984 was used to quantify a portion of the benefits of flood protection. This is a conservative estimate. It does not account for temporary loss of property use, property damage, potential loss of riparian land by erosion or avulsion, reduced property use due to expanded floodplain or setback, or a potential expansion of federal flood insurance requirements. It also does not take into account the potential for multiple flooding events over a period of time. 5.2.2 Reduction in Property Values: Resale value for properties recently flooded is between 15 and 60% lower than for similar properties in areas not flooded, according to this study: Eves, C., & Wilkinson, S. (2013). Assessing the immediate and short-term impact of flooding on residential property participant behavior. Natural Hazards, 71(3), 1519 1536. doi:10.1007/s11069-013-0961-y The total reduction in property value due to the absence of a reliable outlet was quantified using a conservative 15% reduction in the taxable market value of riparian properties based on the study listed above. As noted, this study documented short- and intermediate-term reductions in property values that varied from 15 to 60%. 5.2.3 Avoided Repairs: The outlet has been repaired two to five times as the result of ice heave damage and subsequent sediment migration into the pipe. Avoided repair costs for these damages assuming a 50 year lifespan for the proposed weir outlet are $13,325 each repair, and $53,300 assuming 4 repairs. This estimate is calculated in present costs for comparison with present benefits. June 2017- Rev August 2017 5-2

6.0 Easements, Right-of-Way, Property Ownership Easements acquired during construction of the original project will be sufficient to support this Project. The board may choose to update existing easements to current standards. June 2017- Rev August 2017 6-1

7.0 Environmental Assessment The project will reduce downstream migration of sediment from the lake to other areas of the outlet and therefore will have a positive habitat benefit. Further, installation of an outlet that requires less maintenance mean less disturbance of lake shore habitat and less possibility for erosion associated with maintenance activities. Management of lake elevation will promote the stability of the riparian edge of School Section Lake. June 2017- Rev August 2017 7-1

8.0 Funding The project and any subsequent maintenance will be funded by assessing benefited property owners. The District Board of Managers will determine the allocation of the assessment. Riparian properties are listed in Appendix B. June 2017- Rev August 2017 8-1

9.0 Findings The engineer finds that construction of a sheet pile wire with wood platform and grates around the existing CMP outlet and operation of the remainder of the conveyance is feasible. June 2017- Rev August 2017 9-1
