Coon Creek Park Stream Restoration Project Summary:
The Coon Creek Watershed District (District) is a drainage authority that manages 133 miles of
public drainage ditches and natural creeks over a 103 square mile area; including the eastern
half of the City of Andover. Most of the public ditches were constructed over 100 years ago for
agricultural purposes. Over time much of the agricultural land has been developed requiring the
ditches to additionally serve as an important urban stormwater conveyance. The District needs
to continue to maintain these ditches for drainage and flood protection as well as for water
quality, aquatic habitat, and recreation to meet local, state, and federal requirements.
The District routinely inspects the drainage system and has identified the segment of Coon
Creek (AKA Anoka County Ditch 57) between Hanson Boulevard and approximately 2000 feet
upstream (east) of the BNSF railroad as a hotspot for bank erosion, sediment accumulation,
poor habitat, and flood sensitivity. The District is proposing the Coon Creek Park Stream
Restoration (CCPSR) project to reduce sediment and pollutant loading, provide long-term
channel stability, increase floodplain storage, and improve aquatic and riparian habitat along
this segment of Coon Creek. A substantial portion of the project area is within Coon Creek Park.
See attached map for reference.
The District has budgeted funds, and has been awarded a $395,000 Clean Water Fund grant
administered by the Board of Soil and Water Resources, to stabilize eroded banks via
bioengineering practices such as toe wood, root wads, brush mattresses, bank re -shaping, and
planting with native pollinator -friendly riparian vegetation. Hard -armoring practices such as
vegetated rock riprap will be restricted to areas adjacent to bridge abutments and to protect
existing trail infrastructure along outside bends. Cross vanes will also be installed to create riffle -
pool sequences, increasing in -stream habitat variety and quality. Former oxbows which are
currently perched will be excavated to create backwater habitat and to increase floodplain
connectivity and storage. Disturbed areas will be restored with native pollinator -friendly
vegetation in a manner that enhances wildlife habitat.
The District has also identified potential design alternative opportunities to restore portions of
the original natural alignment of Coon Creek by re -meandering portions of the ditch, to excavate
excess sediment in the ditch that has accumulated over time and to excavate strategic areas of
Coon Creek Park to increase flood storage in order to reduce the risk of flooding to upstream
homes. The District intends to refine the details of these potential design alternatives and
present them to city staff and the public for review, consideration and approval prior to including
them in the final project design.
The attached Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) outlines the scope of work and responsibilities to
implement the CCPSR project, as well as ongoing maintenance to be provided by the District
upon completion of the project. The JPA is intended to formalize a partnership between the
District and the City of Andover for grant assurance purposes and to clearly state the District is
not asking for financial contribution from the city for construction or maintenance. The District
will solicit input from city staff throughout the development of the project, including city utility and
trail information. The city will not incur any project costs beyond staff time.
The District will work with the city to host a neighborhood meeting (virtual if needed) in advance
of the project to gain local insights to enhance project elements and notify neighboring residents
of the proposed work. The District will additionally seek assistance from the Anoka Conservation
District and Andover Pollinator Awareness Project group for project review and
recommendations on site revegetation and buckthorn and other invasive species management.
The District will provide the final design plans and specifications to the city for approval prior to
requesting bids.
Tentatively, the District is planning to seek bids this fall for construction between winter 2020
and summer 2021 however delays due to COVID-19, potential design complications, and
permitting may push construction into late 2021 or 2022.

Coon Creek Park Stream Restoration
Operations and Maintenance Plan
Project location:
5900 feet of Coon Creek between Hanson Boulevard and 2000 feet upstream of the
BNSF railroad in Andover, MN.
Project description:
A combination of bioengineering and hard -armoring practices will be implemented to
stabilize 2250 linear feet of eroding stream bank along a 5900-foot section of Coon
Creek. Woody practices such as root wads, log toes, revetments, or brush bundles will
be used to direct flow and create habitat features. Vegetated riprap will be used in areas
of high shear stress and adjacent to trail infrastructure. Grade stabilization cross vanes
will be installed to create riffle -pool sequences. Select areas of the floodplain will also
be excavated to provide flood storage, reconnect former oxbows and improve
connectivity. These efforts will be complemented by seeding unvegetated areas with a
pollinator -friendly native seed mix following BWSR guidelines for native vegetation
establishment.
Owner/responsible party:
The entire project is within city park, city easement and/or Coon Creek Watershed
District (CCWD) drainage easement. CCWD is responsible for inspection and
maintenance. A Joint Powers Agreement between the CCWD and City of Andover
allows the District access to the project site for construction and maintenance for the
expected lifespan of the project (25 years). Agreement shall be automatically renewed
on a year to year basis unless both parties agree to termination.
The CCWD maintains a full-time staff and District Engineer (Wenck Associate Inc.) with
expertise in multiple -use resource management, hydrology, aquatic biology,
outreach/education, and environmental regulations. CCWD staff has extensive
experience working on stream restoration projects. Beyond the term of this grant, for the
entire expected life of the project, the CCWD is committed to ongoing maintenance of
all proposed BMPs as part of its operations and maintenance program.

Attachment A -Inspection procedures
During construction, establish photographic points looking upstream and downstream
so each segment has two photos. Have the photo record prior to, during and
immediately post -construction. GPS the points or establish landmarks.
Annually, for five years following construction, inspect the Project reach for repair needs
and take photos at the photo points. After five years, inspect once every 5 years on the
same schedule as the required ditch maintenance inspection rotation. The first year
after construction completion, the work will be in the construction warranty phase unless
an additional maintenance period is included in the bid.
Note the following:
1. Bare ground
2. Revegetation Composition. Note invasive species outbreaks that are undesired
and/or threaten the ground vegetation, also watch for seedling/sapling growth and
determine if it's desired or not.
3. Fallen trees, limbs or other material causing erosion and needing removal.
4. Exposed or failing bank stabilization practices such as vegetated riprap, riprap,
boulders, log vanes, revetments.
5. Pipe entrances into the creek, sediment deposition, and scour.
Prepare an inspection report and if repair work is needed, prepare a work order and
contract with the annual ditch maintenance contractor.
