COLUMBIA COUNTY: Park Lake TMDL Phase I Monitoring

Columbia County proposes to collect watershed data in order to develop a TMDL in a future grant. In this phase I grant, they will collect tributary monitoring data for Park Lake twice/month Mar-Nov, and monthly Dec-Feb, plus event samples 5 times/yr. Volunteers will record daily precipitation Apr-Nov at 3 sites. Lake data will be sampled 7 times/yr, plus weekly Secchi depths. Results will be shared via regular public meetings with the Lake District. The final report will be submitted on paper and electronically, including all raw data. Deliverables include all data collected per grant application, (all raw data reported), news releases and meeting presentations; final report hard and electronic copies.
