1 Carter Lake Restoration Project
2 Location in Iowa
3 EPA 303d Impaired Waters list for; phosphorus, nitrogen, algae, toxic algae, chlorophyll, PCBs, ph, ammonia, and low dissolved oxygen.
4 High concentrations of toxins released by blue green algae resulted in beach postings for 18 weeks through the recreation season. In 2007, there were beach postings for 6 weeks through the recreation season.
5 THE LAKE IS SICK Diagnosis: Runoff pollution from homes, yards, businesses, streets, sidewalks, parking lots and driveways is making Carter Lake sick. Remedy: Develop a watershed management plan to prevent runoff pollution and improve the water quality in Carter Lake. Prescription: Watershed residents, business owners, lake users, interested citizens are invited to attend Community Based Watershed Management Planning Public Meetings to develop a Carter Lake Watershed Management Plan: Thursday, October 5, p.m. 9 p.m. Tuesday, October 24, p.m. 9 p.m. Carter Lake Elementary School 1105 Redick Blvd, Carter Lake Doors open at 6 p.m. ; Meeting starts at 7 p.m. Sponsored by City of Carter Lake and City of Omaha Cooperating Agencies- Iowa Natural Resources Conservation Service, Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources, Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District, West Pottawattamie County Iowa Extension, University of Nebraska Lincoln Extension in Douglas/Sarpy Counties, Nebraska Dept. of Environmental Quality, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Nebraska Dept. of Natural Resources, MAPA, West Pottawattamie County Soil and Water Conservation District, Omaha Public Works Dept., Omaha Parks, Recreation and Public Property Dept., and Carter Lake Preservation Society.
6 Community Based Watershed Planning (CBP) is a voluntary, locally led planning process that involves social, economic, and environmental concerns over a defined geographic area (such as a watershed).
7 CBP Forms partnerships between stakeholder groups and technical resource specialists. Minimizes conflict! Emphasizes desired future conditions. Improves natural resource Management.
8 CMP The desired outcome is a Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan that is Fully Implemented
9 CBP Key Components 1. A Common Vision of Desired Conditions 2. Identification and Prioritization of Concerns 3. Development and Implementation of Appropriate Steps to Adequately Address Concerns
10 CBP 3 KEY BENEFITS: Community and stakeholders are much more informed about what is happening! Stakeholders are actively involved in the decisions made and implementation of the plan will happen at a much higher rate! Projects completed are more successful!
11 A Community-Based Water Quality Management Plan for Carter Lake Watershed Project Sponsors: City of Carter Lake, Iowa City of Omaha Parks, Recreation & Public Property Technical Advisory Team: City of Carter Lake, Iowa City of Omaha Parks, Recreation & Public Property Department Nebraska Department of Natural Resources University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension in Douglas/Sarpy Counties Iowa State University in West Pottawattamie County Iowa Department of Natural Resources USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality Carter Lake Preservation Society Nebraska Game and Parks Commission West Pottawattamie County Soil & Water Conservation District Metropolitan Area Planning Agency Iowa Division of Soil Conservation Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District City of Omaha Public Works Department CLEAR Water Council: Peter Parkert Doug Wallingford Julie McKillip Pam Christiansen Pam Parkert Stephanie Kelley Merl Harder Mike Dailey Les Lundberg Bill Van Trump Doug Dodson Bob Hegwood Steve Wilbur Hani Haider Wayne Houston Project Consultant: Olsson Associates Tetra Tech
12 Carter Lake will be the crown jewel of the metropolitan area by being a stable, healthy ecosystem that provides for multi use recreational activities and economic opportunities.
13 Goals 1. Achieve a full support status for the aquatic life uses 2. Reduce Contamination levels in fish to safe levels 3. Achieve and maintain a full support status for the recreation use (to achieve this goal, several growing season nutrient concentration and water quality parameters reductions were set, which included a more aggressive phosphorus concentration reduction to 75 mg/l than the goal set in the TMDL of 96 mg/l) 4. Maintain a full support status for the aesthetic use
14
15 Please attend a Public Meeting to learn about and comment on the proposed Water Quality Management Plan Learn about the plan to HEAL THE LAKE! March 11, :00 p.m. 8:30 p.m. Shoreline Golf Course Clubhouse 210 East Locust Street in Carter Lake, Iowa Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Meeting will begin at 7 p.m.

19 Targeted dredging (88k cu yrds) Other BMPs Shoreline armoring Wetland enhancement
20 Before renovation
21 After renovation
22 Total P (ppb) Reduce growing season in-lake total phosphorus from 153 ug/l to 75 ug/l. 300 Phosphorus Alum treatment & Fish renovation
23 μg/l Decrease growing season median chlorophyll a concentrations from 59 μ/l to 21 μ/l. 350 Chlorophyll a Alum treatment & Fish renovation
24 Microcystin Toxin (ppb) Microcystin (blue-green algae) Toxin Levels in Carter Lake Pre-Implementation Post-Implementation Beach Posting Criterion (20ppb)
25 Clarity in feet Increase growing season median water clarity from 16 inches to 54 inches to meet the Iowa Lake Restoration Program Goal but not to fall below 30 inches to meet the TMDL Goal. Water clarity Project goal = Alum treatment & Fish renovation
26 4 years of good water quality!
27 Clear water grows rooted aquatic plants!
