Reservoir to increase its depth from 2.8 feet to 15 feet to

project from nonstate sources. The nonstate portion will
provide low interest loans for 173 noncompliant septic systems
that are imminent health threats and provide technical
assistance to reduce phosphorus loading to the Redwood River to
assist total maximum daily load (TMDL) compliance of the
low-dissolved oxygen impairment on the lower Minnesota River.
