THREE LAKES WATERFRONT ASSOCIATION: Three Lakes Chain Env. Monit. PhIII - Big Fork

Project Scope and Description of Deliverables

The Three Lakes Waterfront Association (TLWA) is sponsoring a project which will focus on updating water quality, aquatic plant, and aquatic invasive species (AIS) information as part of their Lake Management Plan (LMP). This is expected to be Phase 3 of 8 with the remaining lakes in the Chain to follow in subsequent projects.

Project final deliverables include: 1) Data from water quality monitoring, aquatic plant surveys, and purple loosestrife (PL) and yellow iris (YI) monitoring; and 2) an annual project report.

Specific project activities include: 1) Sample lake water quality; 2) Conduct aquatic plant point-intercept (PI) surveys (following DNR protocol), early season AIS mapping surveys (for EWM and CLP), and aquatic plant community mapping; 3) Monitor PL and YI populations.

Special Conditions: WDNR Lake Biologist will be provided with an electronic copy of reports; data from water quality, aquatic plant, and AIS monitoring and surveys; all maps and GIS data from project.

This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps, and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Biologist.
