2008 & 2009: SolarBee pilot project for hypolimnetic mixing Result: Ineffective mixing 2008: Sediment Oxygen Demand sampling 2009: Community Sediment Oxygen Demand sampling 2009: Hypolimnetic Oxygenation Pilot. Result: Successful Calcium Peroxide Addition: Result: Positive, but inconclusive District Projects in Mitchell Lake…

2008: Weed Harvesting. 272 tons removed May: Curly leaf pondweed 2009: Weed Harvesting. 732 tons removed May: Curly leaf pondweed July: Eurasian water milfoil 2010: Weed Harvesting. 459 tons removed May: Curly leaf pondweed July: Eurasian water milfoil District Projects in Mitchell Lake… 1,462 tons total Thank you for weed survey input!

2011 Herbicide Treatment 2011 Herbicide Treatment (almost)

MLA-initiated. Thank you 2,4-D was to be used MnDNR-classifies Mitchell as Natural Environment Lake Thus, herbicide use by anyone in Mitchell is not permitted, including… –Individual homeowners –City –District –Others MnDNR does allow the use of copper sulfate for algae or snail control, but not for submerged plant control 2011 Herbicide Treatment

2011: Paleolimnology – Record of historic water quality from sediment cores 9

Mitchell Lake Sedimentation History Sediment accumulation, g/cm 2 /year Settlement Farming Urbanization Current Bottom has low oxygen in summer Probable summer TP ~ 40 µg/L Highest sedimentation Big swings in water quality Sedimentation slightly over presettlement Summer TP at 89 µg/L Water quality is legacy of sedimentation

Mitchell Lake Lake Reclamation Status 40 µ g/l 60 µ g/l impaired water threshold DISTRICT GOAL CURRENT CONDITIONS STATE GOAL PRESETTLEMENT 89 µ g/l

Sedimentation near presettlement value → Stormwater infrastructure is working Sedimentation legacy responsible for current impairment Short term (2012 to 2022): Improve water quality with in-lake methods to counter legacy Long term ( ): Incremental adoption of LID in watershed Mitchell Lake Recommendations

Historical record in sediment Pollen: Land use (e.g. farm, prairie, city) Diatoms: Past water quality Midge fly larvae: Bottom oxygen concentration Lead-210: Dating back 150 years ( our samples) Rate of sedimentation: how much washes in from watershed

Lead-210 dating Radioactive decay: Radium-226 → Radon + lead-210 Half life = 22.3 years Dates back about 150 years (7 half- lives) in core samples Sediment depth
