Birch Island Dredging and Inlet Modification - SW-7250-10 - City of Eden Prairie

The Birch Island Bypass System was installed in 2007 to attempt to restore a higher water level in Birch Island Lake. The system brings additional water from Highway 62 to Birch Island. However, the system's inlet is located within the lake and is not readily accessible, making for difficult system maintenance and inspection. Additionally, sediment has accumulated near the inlet impairing its function. This project aims to bring the inlet closer to shore and dredge accumulated sediment. This project is in included in the Eden Prairie FY 2023-2032 CIP. As of March 17, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. Per owner, no movement on the project at this time. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
