Storm drains and catch basins are designed for rain and snowmelt – not leaves, grass clippings, trash or oil.
1. Sweep or rake the debris from area around grate, and dispose of in the trash.
2. If debris is lodged in the grate ‐ or visible under the grate inside the catch basin – don’t tackle this yourself. Contact 311 for City crews to clean out.

MPRB Water Monitoring Activities since 1992
• Lake Levels• Nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen)• Clarity (secchi depth, chloroplyll)• Physical parameters (temp., pH, conductivity)• Beach Monitoring• Phytoplankton and Zooplankton species• Aquatic plant species and abundance• Zebra mussel monitoring(since 2010)

Trophic State Index (TSI)• Index that combines phosphorus, Secchi (clarity), and chlorophyll data calculated
in order to characterize a lake’s overall “health”.
• Higher scores indicate more algal biomass, lower scores indicate clearer water.

Beach Bacteria Monitoring
• Weekly monitoring during swim season• “double trigger” for closure
– Single sample over 1260 cfu– Geometric mean over 126
• Multiple sources (humans, pets, animals, creek, stormwater)
• Minnehaha Creek TMDL – long term project
No waterborne outbreaks ever in MPRB system
