Minnesota’s Albert Lea Tribune reports that streambank stabilization is underway along Wedge Creek to protect the water flowing into Fountain Lake. The $85,000 project involves regrading and erosion control blanket installation combined with revegetation. Estimates suggest that for every foot the creek has moved, 120 tons of sediment has washed in. The stabilization methods should stem that and further increase of the sandbar between Wedge Creek and Edgewater Bay.
