Ravine Project
This project is being done in partnership with City of Glenwood, Pope County SWCD, and Minnesota DNR. The objective is to slow down water run-off and help filter out sediment to make water flowing into the lake cleaner.
​
Two rock checks or dams located up stream will pool water to slow down and filter sediment. A final rock check located around a cement structure will also filter sediment and stabilize the landscape around the drain. A cement drain structure will be placed to help keep the ground from washing away as the water pools before flowing down to the lake.
