• Lake Bonny Stormwater Outfall Retrofit Project - Complete Summer 2024

  This project consists of the installation of a nutrient separating pollution control device (PCD) that will be installed at an outfall to Lake Bonny on the north side of North Crystal Lake Drive near its intersection with US Highway 98 North.  The PCD will effectively reduce the amount of sediment, nutrients, and floatable trash entering Lake Bonny from the stormwater outfall at this location.   

  Lake Bonny does not meet current water quality standards due to elevated levels of nutrients and has a mandated Total Maximum Daily Load nutrient reduction requirement.  Previous studies identified the main source of nutrients to Lake Bonny is through stormwater discharge via multiple stormwater outfall locations.  The outfall chosen for this project was shown to contribute significant non-point source nutrient loads to the lake. 

  The Lake Bonny Stormwater Outfall Retrofit Project includes the permitting, construction and installation of an underground PCD with nutrient removal capabilities through use of an innovative biosorption activated media filter and baffle boxes designed to remove sediment and trash from the stormwater flow before it enters the lake.  

  This project begins March 4, 2024 and will take approximately three months to complete.
