II.7As part of the 2014 Bonding Bill, the City of Champlin is requesting $3,271,000 in state bond
funding for the predesign, design and construction of the Elm Creek Dam at the Mill Pond. The existing dam on the Elm Creek has out lived its use full life and is in need of full replacement. The DNR has placed the dam on the list of Significant Hazard Dam structures and has identified the project as a high priority. New regulations require that the Elm Creek dam have greater capacity to prevent flooding of properties and improve safety to the traveling public. Currently, there are 50 acres of land in the Elm Creek Flood Zone created by the existing dam. Property owners in this flood hazard area are at risk from the 100 year flood event and many of these property owners are required to carry costly flood insurance policies. The proposed improvements to the dam will directly benefit these property owners by removing their properties from the Flood Hazard Area and improve public safety. The existing dam has historical significance and the outfall design will incorporated elements that are similar to the historic design. The new design will improve safety for residents and City workers. The City is prepared to reconstruct this dam as early as 2014 provided the project is fully funded. The Design Elements provide improved sightlines, viewing platforms and access to around the facility. The new design will improve safety for residents and City workers. The weir includes three low flow notches that will accommodate low flows and provides an improved visual design /experience. The south-side of the outfall includes a stairway to the Fishing Platform that will provide additional recreational opportunities at the dam. The Riverside improvements include a curved

stairway and viewing platforms. These improvements also provide a trail connection to the Mississippi Point Park and provide ADA compliance for access to the dam outfall and fishing opportunities. Below the hardscape for the Elm Creek Dam Improvement Project is broken out into three different areas: The Mill Pond Area: It has been determined that a flood reduction culvert is necessary to handle peak flows on the Elm Creek. This culvert along with the dam improvements will effectively remove 45 acres from the Flood Hazard area. The benefiting property includes the Mississippi Crossings area and properties along the Elm Creek subject to flooding. City staff considered several options to reduce the flood hazard in the Mill Pond- Mississippi Crossings areas. Repairing the Old Jefferson Hwy Bridge and adding a flood reduction culvert was the most cost effective alternative. This option kept the historic bridge in place as a key element on the Mill Pond, while providing connectivity between Doris Kemp Park and Veterans Park. Other options considered the removal of the Jefferson Bridge; widening the channel and construction of a new continental bridge. The addition of the culvert will allow the City to consider future recreational opportunities to isolate the South Bay of the Mill Pond for water treatment and a swimming beach area. Below are the primary construction items along with Park amenities to be considered with the project. The Project will be funded by the following: City of Champlin, Hennepin County, West Mississippi Watershed Commission, and the MN DNR.
