LITTLE ST GERMAIN LAKE P & R DISTRICT: Sediment Phosphorus Evaluation
The Little St. Germain Protection & Rehabilitation District will conduct a sediment phosphorus evaluation project. 18 sediment cores and overlying water will be collected from six lake stations in Little Saint Germain Lake to determine the internal phosphorus loading from sediments under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The State Lab of Hygiene will conduct sediment core incubation techniques on the cores to determine sediment phosphorus flux. This project is cost shared with the USGS who will put the internal phosphorus release results into the larger context of their phosphorus estimates for the Little Saint Germain inflow from Muskellunge Creek, nearshore areas, groundwater, and precipitation to make a final report on phosphorus loading to Little St. Germain Lake.
