PARK LANE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: Park Lane Watershed and Water Quality Assessment Study

Hydrologic budget will be evaluated on watershed delineation on a topographic map; collection of evaporation and precipitation data; computation of lake stage and storage through use of recording guage and bathymetric map. Phosphorus budget will be developed by: collection of approximately 60 samples from Fox River inflow to be analyzed for phosphorus concentration; monitoring of in-lake water-column phosphorus at two sites as described in part II, #2 of project proposal in application; estimationof internal phosphorus loading from bottom sediments; monthly sampling of phosphorus concentration in lake outflow. Quantification of lake water chemistry by periodic sample collection and depth profiles; data collected will be reported to DNR and published in USGS annual report. Information will be disseminated to the public through public meetings, newsletter mailings and local media.
