Project Overview
The City of Plymouth is working with the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) to improve water quality and drainage within the Ponderosa Woods neighborhood. This project is located north of 18th Avenue North, east of Kirkwood Lane North and west of West Medicine Lake Drive.
The proposed project consists of stream erosion improvements, bank slope grading, and minor dredging of accumulated sediment in certain areas. Also included will be vegetation enhancements to improve drainage in the area, reduce erosion in the stream/channels, and improve water quality in Medicine Lake. Maintenance of storm sewer pipes, replacement of damaged outlet structures, erosion and ditch maintenance, sediment removal, and in-stream and riparian habitat improvements are also planned. It is anticipated that some tree removals will be necessary.
At their June 15, 2023, meeting, the BCWMC approved the implementation of alternative 1.5 to stabilize streambanks, improve flow to reduce erosion in storm water side channels, and remove buckthorn along the riparian buffer and within a two-acre floodplain area downstream of the project.
The project design plans implement the improvements suggested as approved by the BCWMC. The project has been bid and a contractor will look to start work at the end of January 2025.
