East Kittsondale
7 EAST KITTSONDALE SUBWATERSHED RESULTS 7.1
DESCRIPTION
The East Kittsondale subwatershed is located in the southern portion of CRWD and drains 1,116 acres of St. Paul (Figures 7-1 & 7-2). East Kittsondale is the smallest of the four major subwatersheds monitored by CRWD. The subwatershed empties into the Mississippi River downstream of the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. There are no surface water bodies in the subwatershed. Land use in the subwatershed is largely residential, with 46% impervious surface cover. CRWD operates a full water quality monitoring station in the East Kittsondale subwatershed. Flow monitoring equipment is installed year-round while a water quality sampler is only installed for the non-winter monitoring period (April to early November). The station is not located at the true outlet to the river because the depth of the storm sewer beneath the ground surface makes it difficult to access any farther downstream.
