‍ TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ‍

Notice is hereby given that the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC) will meet at the Plymouth Community Center, 14800 34th Avenue North, Plymouth, MN, on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at approximately 11:30 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, for a public hearing on the following improvements:

‍ ‍

Project 2026-01:        Reconstruct Bridge at Cartway Drive.

Location:                    Champlin.

Description: Reconstruction of the Cartway Drive bridge over Elm Creek. The proposed crossing will reduce velocities in and around the crossing, reduce erosion and sediment load transport downstream, decrease floodplain elevation and width upstream, reduce flood risk and increase conveyance capacity, be conducive to aquatic organism passage, and make the culvert opening more closely mimic bankfull conditions to align with previous creek restorations. 

‍Cost: Estimated project cost is $2,160,000. The ECWMC proposes to fund $255,000 by certifying this cost to Hennepin County for collection with a county ad valorem tax levy.

‍ ‍

Project 2026-02:        Maple Grove Sweeper.

Location:                    Maple Grove. 

‍Description: Cost participation in the purchase of a street sweeper to expand the systematic municipal street sweeping program.‍ ‍

Cost: Estimated project cost is $400,000. The ECWMC proposes to fund $105,000 by certifying this cost to Hennepin County for collection with a county ad valorem tax levy.

‍ ‍

Project 2026-03:        Elm Creek Valley Stream Restoration.

‍ Location:                    Maple Grove.

‍Description: Stream restoration and erosion repair of 1,600 linear feet of Elm Creek upstream of Elm Road. Estimated phosphorus reduction of 100 lbs./year, improved riparian environment, enhanced habitat, and improved recreation and access to the creek.

Cost: Estimated project cost is $600,000. The ECWMC proposes to fund $155,000 by certifying this cost to Hennepin County for collection with a county ad valorem tax levy.

The Commission proposes to proceed under the authority granted by MN Statutes, Sec. 103B.251 to certify its share of the projects’ costs to Hennepin County for payment by a tax levy on all taxable property located within the Elm Creek watershed. The watershed includes all or portions of the cities of Champlin, Corcoran, Dayton, Maple Grove, Medina, Plymouth, and Rogers. Maps of the watershed are available at the respective city halls or at www.elmcreekwatershed.org.

Persons who desire to be heard with reference to the proposed improvements will be heard at this meeting. Written comments may be submitted to Judie Anderson, c/o JASS, 3235 Fernbrook Lane, Plymouth, MN 55447, or emailed to judie@jass.biz.  Auxiliary aids for persons with handicaps are available upon request at least 7 days in advance.  Please contact Ms. Anderson at 763-553-1144 to make arrangements.
