The Prior Lake Outlet System consists of the Prior Lake Outlet Channel (PLOC) and Outlet Structure. It is an integral part of the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District (PLSLWD), because the system addresses high water levels on Prior Lake and serves as a trunk stormwater system for the City of Prior Lake, City of Shakopee, and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. Each year PLSLWD staff compiles monitoring data in an Annual Operations Report.
