Purpose

The Lower Turtle Lake Management District will conduct studies and develop a management plan for Lower Turtle Lake in Barron County. Specifically, the Association, its consultants and volunteers will: 1) Conduct one year of in-lake TSI water quality monitoring. 2) Collect runoff samples from two tributary locations. 3) Conduct a photographic inventory of shoreland habitat and a wildlife survey. 4) Map and characterize watershed landuse including identifying areas of high erosion and calculate a lake phosphorus budget. 5) Complete an aquatic plant survey and management plan. 6) Produce an information and education program. 7) Conduct a sociological study of lakeshore residents. Specific deliverables for this grant project include: A) A technical report interpreting and summarizing all project results. B) A non-technical project summary in newsletter format. The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy (PDF format) of the final report and summary.
