​Dance Hall Creek Subwatershed Assessment
​
Lake Sarah is a highly utilized and valued public resource in the Pioneer-Sarah creek Watershed. In 2011 the Pioneer Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commission, in partnership with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Three Rivers Park District (TRPD), completed a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analysis to quantify the phosphorus reductions needed to meet state water quality standards for nutrients in Lake Sarah in accordance with the Clean Water Act. The study identified the Dance Hall Creek watershed as a "hot-spot" for contributing nutrients to Sarah Lake. Dance Hall Creek drains to Sarah Lake which drains via Sarah Creek to the Crow River. In 2013 the Hennepin County Environmental Services Department (HCES) performed a stormwater retro-fit study for the Dance Hall Creek watershed within the City of Greenfield. The study was a partnership between the HCD, HCES, City of Greenfield, and Crow River Watershed Association. Data from the study will be utilized by the partners to seek Clean Water Legacy BMP funds
