Assessment of land uses within the watersheds 5. Aquatic macrophyte inventory 6. Survey of residents The Environmental Task Force Program will produce a report that includes areas of inflow/outflow, estimated inflow of groundwater, loading coefficients, and estimates of hardness entering McGinnis Lake via groundwater inflow. Delineated watersheds (surface and groundwater) with associated land uses will also be included in the report.
