[0:06] hi I'm Jeff Dunn with the Vermillion
[0:08] River Wershed today we're in Foxboro
[0:11] Park west of Cedar and north of Dodd the
[0:14] north creek of the Vermillion River
[0:16] bisects through this park when the park
[0:19] was developed and the land was developed
[0:21] in the late '7s there was little if any
[0:24] regard or consideration giving to storm
[0:27] water runoff around the same time in
[0:29] 1979 the state of Minnesota enacted
[0:32] legislation for storm water management
[0:36] for new development from houses
[0:39] driveways streets from areas that were
[0:42] undeveloped before that all that
[0:44] impervious area created a lot more
[0:46] runoff and it caused flooding problems
[0:49] it caused bank erosion along the creeks
[0:52] stirred up a lot of sediment the city of
[0:54] Lakeville started looking at how they
[0:57] could retrofit one of these ponds into
[0:59] an into the urban landscape and they
[1:03] found that Foxboro Park was an ideal
[1:05] candidate the city of Lakeville along
[1:08] with the Vermillion River Wershed
[1:10] submitted for a clean water grant the
[1:13] city was awarded
[1:15] $350,000 to construct the retrofit or to
[1:18] construct the pump the city also
[1:20] contributed as well as the Vermillion
[1:22] River wershed and Dakota counties you
