5.34 Kramer Pond Watershed Management Plan
5.34.1 General Information
Kramer Pond and its entire tributary
watershed lie within the City of Lake
Elmo (see Figure 5.34-1). Kramer
Pond is a 9-acre wetland located north
of the I-94 frontage road, between
Keats Avenue North (CSAH 19) and
Lake Elmo Avenue North (CSAH 17),
near the south border of the City of
Lake Elmo.
One development is located adjacent
to Kramer Pond on the northeast side.
The remainder of the watershed is
currently occupied by agricultural land
use and undeveloped space, although
some developments are near
construction on the western edge of
the watershed. Future (2030)
estimated land use calls single family
residential development north of
Kramer Pond, multi-option
development along I-94, and
commercial development near the
intersection of I-94 and Keats Avenue
(CSAH 19). Figure 5.34-2 shows the
current (2010) and future (2030)
estimated land use within the Kramer
Pond watershed.
There is no public access to Kramer
Pond. Around 1969, the landowner
constructed a berm across the wetland
for tractor access to the fields north of
the pond. The berm causes the
northeastern lobe of the wetland (in
subwatershed KRM-3) to be drier than
the western portion of the wetland (in
subwatershed KRM-1, see Figure
5.34-1).

5.34.2 Water Quality Management Plan
The VBWD classified and will manage Kramer Pond as a Low Priority waterbody (see Section 4.1 –
Water Quality) due to the lack of public access and is classification as a wetland by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). This is consistent with its classification in the 2005 VBWD Plan.
In the VBWD 1995 Plan, Kramer Pond was classified as a Level V (wetland) waterbody.
The water quality of Kramer Pond is generally poor. The VBWD has a non-degradation water quality
policy which sets “action triggers” for all of its major waterbodies. Section 4.1 – Water Quality
discusses the action triggers in more detail. Action triggers for VBWD lakes consider the following
water quality parameters (summer average) relative to MPCA water quality standards and prior water
quality data (i.e., trend analysis):
Secchi disc depth
Total phosphorus
Chlorophyll a
Specific water quality implementation tasks for Kramer Pond include the following.
1. The VBWD will cooperate with other entities to monitor the water quality of Kramer Pond at
the interval(s) specified in Section 4.1 – Water Quality for Low Priority waterbodies. As for
all Low Priority waterbodies, the VBWD will perform additional monitoring or other actions
on a case-by-case (see Table 4.1-6).
The VBWD will evaluate the average summertime water quality (total phosphorus,
chlorophyll a, and Secchi disc transparency) and compare it to water quality standards (if
applicable) and applicable action triggers (described in Section 4.1.7.5).
2. The VBWD will cooperate with other entities in support of macrophyte management efforts.
VBWD efforts may include:
point-intercept surveys of aquatic vegetation
preparation of lake vegetation management plans (LVMP)
completion of Invasive Aquatic Plant Management (IAPM) Permit applications
design of herbicide treatment programs
participation in meetings with MDNR staff
other technical analysis
3. The VBWD will continue to implement its Rules and Regulations (2013, as amended) in the
![Page 4: List of Tables List of Figures - vbwd.org...Water quality sampling was conducted on Kramer Pond in 2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013.

Kramer Pond watershed. The VBWD Rules address water quality performance standards for
development and redevelopment projects, as well as required vegetated buffers around
VBWD lakes, streams, and wetlands. The VBWD Rules and Regulations are included in this
Plan as Appendix A-4.5.
5.34.2.1 Water Chemistry
Water quality sampling was conducted on Kramer Pond in 2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013.
Water quality samples are typically analyzed for total phosphorus and chlorophyll a, while Secchi
disc transparency is measured in the field at the time of sampling (see Appendix A-4.1 – Water
Quality Background Information).
The most recent 10-year average summer water quality data is presented in Table 5.34-1 and
illustrated in Figure 5.34-3.

While water quality in Kramer Pond fluctuates annually, water quality has been consistently poor
since monitoring began in 2003. Summer average Secchi disc transparency was less than (i.e. worse
than) 0.7 meters in all years measured. The worst water quality occurred in 2012, when Secchi disc
transparency was less than 0.2 meters, summer average chlorophyll a was over 300 ug/L (the highest
observed) and summer average total phosphorus was approximately 800 ug/L (the second highest
observed value). Chlorophyll a declined sharply in 2013, decreasing from over 300 ug/L to less than
10 ug/L (see Figure 5.34-3).
The most recent 10-years of data identify no statistically significant trends in total phosphorus,
chlorophyll a, or Secchi disc transparency.
5.34.2.2 Biological Data
Various types of biological data have been compiled and evaluated for Kramer Pond, in addition to
physical and chemical parameters. Macrophyte (large aquatic plants), phytoplankton (non-rooted
floating plants – algae), zooplankton (microscopic aquatic animals), and fisheries data provide
insight into the ecological quality of a waterbody. Section 4.2 (Water Quality Background
Information) provides more information about the importance of fisheries and other biological data.
![Page 5: List of Tables List of Figures - vbwd.org...Water quality sampling was conducted on Kramer Pond in 2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013. Water quality samples are typically analyzed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051806/5fffae8626351a70a22d88a4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2015 Valley Branch Watershed District Watershed Management Plan Kramer Pond Watershed Management Plan Barr Engineering Company Page 5.34-4 P:\Mpls\23 MN\82\2382174\WorkFiles\2015 VBWD Plan\Final\Section 5.34 - Kramer Pond.doc
The Kramer Pond fishery is not managed by the MDNR and there are no stocking or surveying
programs in place. Kramer Pond does not have a fisheries-use classification, and no fish consumption
advisories have been issued for the pond. The MDNR’s Lakefinder website includes the most current
data on Kramer Pond and is available at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/lake.html?id=82011700
The VBWD conducted macrophyte (large aquatic plant) surveys on June 9, 2003, August 18, 2003,
June 4, 2009, and June 5, 2012. Appendix A-5.34 includes the 2003, 2009, and 2012 macrophyte
survey information. The VBWD collects macrophyte data to identify the conditions of plant growth
throughout the lake. Macrophytes are the primary producers in the aquatic food chain, converting the
basic chemical nutrients in water and soil into plant matter through photosynthesis, which becomes
food for all other aquatic life. While macrophytes can negatively impact the recreational use of a
water body, they are critical to the ecosystem as fish and wildlife habitat.
In 2003 and 2009, the pond’s moderately diverse plant community consisted of five to eight
individual species. In both 2003 surveys, plant growth was limited to depths less than two or three
feet due to shading by the algal community. Plant species observed in Kramer pond are consistent
with the pond’s poor water transparency and include three turbidity tolerant native species, water
celery (Vallisneria americana), Canada waterweed (Elodea canadensis), and coontail
(Ceratophyllum demersum) (Borman et al., 1997). In 2012 the water level in Kramer Pond was high
and no macrophyte species were observed during the survey.
All plant species observed in Kramer Pond are common to Minnesota ponds and lakes and provide
good habitat for the fish and aquatic animals living within the pond. No non-native, exotic species
were noted in the two surveys.
There are no phytoplankton (microscopic plants), or zooplankton (microscopic animals) data for
Kramer Pond.
5.34.3 Water Quantity Management Plan
Kramer Pond is a landlocked basin and is often split into two water bodies. The two parts of the pond
in subwatershed KRM-1 (see Figure 5.34-1) are at an elevation of about 910, according to
Washington County’s 2000 two-foot interval topographic map. The two ponds become one larger
pond at higher elevations, approximately Elevation 911.2. At Elevation 910.15, water will flow into
the large wetland area northeast of the two ponds in subwatershed KRM-3 (see Figure 5.34-1). When
this combined water body reaches Elevation 911.64, water will flow northeast from Kramer Pond to a
1.2-acre pond located in subwatershed KRM-6 (see Figure 5.34-1). The ultimate overflow from the
combined ponding area is the low point in Lake Elmo Avenue North, at Elevation 916, based on
Washington County’s 2000 topography. If Kramer Pond were to overflow, the water would flow to
Rose Lake.
The 100-year flood elevation for Kramer Pond has been managed by the VBWD at different levels
throughout the history of the VBWD. In the 1987 VBWD water management plan, the 100-year flood
level of Kramer Pond was shown as Elevation 911 (NGVD29 datum). This elevation was based on
![Page 6: List of Tables List of Figures - vbwd.org...Water quality sampling was conducted on Kramer Pond in 2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013. Water quality samples are typically analyzed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051806/5fffae8626351a70a22d88a4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2015 Valley Branch Watershed District Watershed Management Plan Kramer Pond Watershed Management Plan Barr Engineering Company Page 5.34-5 P:\Mpls\23 MN\82\2382174\WorkFiles\2015 VBWD Plan\Final\Section 5.34 - Kramer Pond.doc
the belief that there are culverts under Lake Elmo Avenue North (CSAH 17) at the low point in the
road. However, during VBWD’s review of The Forest development adjacent to Kramer Pond, it was
determined that there are no culverts under Lake Elmo Avenue North (CSAH 17). Therefore, the
overflow point became the low point in Lake Elmo Avenue North, and the 100-year flood elevation
was computed to be Elevation 916. At this elevation, a home adjacent to the 1.2-acre pond northeast
of Kramer Pond would be flooded. The 1995 VBWD water management plan listed the 100-year
flood level of Kramer Pond at Elevation 915.8.
In 2003, Washington County contracted with the VBWD to establish a “Base Flood Elevation” that
could be used for new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRMs). Through this detailed study, the VBWD determined that the 1% probability flood level
(i.e., the 100-year flood level) for Kramer Pond is Elevation 914.0 (NAVD88), which the VBWD has
adopted as the 100-year flood elevation for Kramer Pond. The 100-year flood level for Kramer Pond
included on FEMA’s Washington County Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) is also set at Elevation
914 (NAVD88 datum). At this elevation, there still appears to be one home within Kramer Pond’s
100-year floodplain.
In 2013, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published Atlas 14,
Volume 8 (see Section 4.7.6). Atlas 14 contains updated precipitation data for Minnesota and
supersedes data sources used to establish the VBWD and FEMA 100-year flood elevations within the
Kramer Pond subwatershed. Over the next several years, the VBWD will update its hydrologic -
hydraulic modeling of major subwatersheds, including Kramer Pond. Updated modeling will
incorporate the most recent precipitation data (see Section 4.7.7) which may increase 100-year flood
levels relative to the existing levels.
VBWD has no plans to control Kramer Pond water levels. The VBWD has monitored water levels on
Kramer Pond since 2008 (see Figure 5.34-4). The VBWD will continue to monitor water levels on
Kramer Pond as staff or volunteer time and access allow.
5.34.4 Groundwater
Water that seeps from Kramer Pond could contribute to the groundwater feeding Valley Creek. More
information regarding groundwater regional ground water flow is described in Section 3.7.
Groundwater management strategies of the VBWD are described in Section 4.2. Information
regarding groundwater contributions to Valley Creek is described in the Valley Creek subwatershed
management plan (see Section 5.20).
