Project Ranking and Selection <br />Project Ranking and Selection <br />The intent of this analysis is to provide the information necessary to enable local natural resource <br />managers to successfully secure funding for the most cost-effective projects to achieve water quality <br />goals. This analysis ranks potential projects by cost-effectiveness to facilitate project selection. There <br />are many possible ways to prioritize projects, and the list provided in this report is merely a starting <br />point. Local resource management professionals will be responsible to select projects to pursue. <br />Several considerations in addition to project cost-effectiveness for prioritizing installation are included. <br />Project Ranking <br />If all identified practices were installed (Figure 3 and Figure 4), significant pollution reduction could be <br />accomplished. However, funding limitations and landowner interest will be a limiting factor in <br />implementation. The tables on the following pages rank all modeled projects by cost-effectiveness. <br />Tables were separated by drainage network (i.e. Mississippi River or Rum River), and projects were <br />ranked in two ways: <br />1) Cost per pound of total phosphorus removed (Table 2 and Table 4) and <br />2) Cost per 1,000 pounds of total suspended solids removed (Table 3 and Table 5). <br />City of Ramsey Stormwater Retrofit Analysis <br />
