Big Trout Lake Stormwater Management Design Project By Hannah Rollin
3
Problem Valuable Trout Lake for the state of Minnesota Excess sediment and stormwater flows directly into the lake due to the current curb and gutter system and the culvert Increasing temperature of the lake and decreasing the clarity Valuable Trout Lake for the state of Minnesota Excess sediment and stormwater flows directly into the lake due to the current curb and gutter system and the culvert Increasing temperature of the lake and decreasing the clarity

Constraints Limited land area available Snowmobile route Steep slopes (instability) Limited land area available Snowmobile route Steep slopes (instability)

Proposed Solution Use a vortex separator to remove sediment from the stormwater Downstream Defender® The vortex system forces particles to settle into the sump Efficient and easy to maintain Small footprint System of Perforated Pipes Infiltration of stormwater will aid in temperature reduction Use a vortex separator to remove sediment from the stormwater Downstream Defender® The vortex system forces particles to settle into the sump Efficient and easy to maintain Small footprint System of Perforated Pipes Infiltration of stormwater will aid in temperature reduction
