Columbia Heights (City) to complete Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Urban Stormwater
Remediation Cost -Share Program grant application for proposed stormwater improvements at the existing
stormwater pond near the Silver Lake boat landing.

RCWD Cost -Share Program Application- Competitive funds are available for these types of projects
under the RCWD Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program. WSB proposes to complete a
grant application that requests funds from RCWD. This program may provide up to $50,000.
Applications are due March, 13, 2015 and final Board action is on April 22, 2015.
