We're excited to announce that the Elm Creek Restoration and Dam Rehabilitation project was honored with the Environmental Project of the Year award at the 2024 American Public Works Association (APWA) Conference.
This initiative highlights innovative approaches to restoring Elm Creek’s ecosystem and rehabilitating the dam for improved flood control. The project underscores Champlin’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, benefiting both the local community and the ecosystem.
The 2.7 mile project began with the reconstruction of the Elm Creek Dam, shifted to the restoration of Mill Pond, and concluded with the restoration of Elm Creek itself. This $18.124 million, multiphase initiative has provided significant improvements.
“The project encompasses extensive ecological benefits, enhanced flood management, and upgraded recreational facilities, all designed to transform Elm Creek into a vibrant and thriving community asset,” said Heather Nelson, Champlin City Engineer.
Spanning over 14 years and five design and construction phases, the Elm Creek Restoration and Dam Rehabilitation project saw strong community involvement. The City of Champlin championed this project, with WSB leading the design and several contractors, including C.S. McCrossan, Blackstone Contractors, Minnesota Native Landscapes, and Sunram Construction, contributing to its success.
