HOOKER LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: Hooker Lake Management Planning

1. Water quality monitoring will be conducted by USGS according to Table 1 - Water Quality Trend Monitoring sampling site shown in Figure 1 of the application. A lake district volunteer will take secchi disk readings and lake stage level readings.2. Macrophyte survey will be conducted following schedule and methods described in Project Description of the application. 3. Aerial photos of lake will be taken to identify areas of plant growth. Timing and locations will be the same as the macrophytesurvey. Copies of all photos and slides will be provided to the Hooker Management District. 4. Historical records of lake surveys, chemical treatments, and aerial photos will be collected and incorporated into the above analyses. 5. Watershed bound-aries will be delineated on topographical maps. Problem and sensitive areas including highly erodible soils, wetlands, woodlands, and conservancy areas will be delineated. Management recommendations will be made for problem areas. 6. An educational 'Watershed Watchers" program will be developed. 7. Conduct a riparian boat inventory and on-lake counts. Water clarity data will be collected as described in Section IV of the Project Description in the application.
