WHITEFISH LAKE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOC: D.O. Meter Acquisition

Long term Dissolved oxygen monitoring will take place on Whitefish Lake for the Self Help Monitoring Program. The project includes the following goals: 1) More efficient and less time consuming for volunteer; 2) Allow for testing of DO at more frequent intervals to develop a more comprehensive profile; 3) Increase accuracy of testing; 4) Allow for rapid testing of multiple sites following herbicide treatments of EWM; 5) Develop a benchmark of Whitefish Lake water quality. Project deliverables include: Proof that the meter was purchased. Specific conditions for this Project: 1) DO profile data should be sent to Frank Pratt, Fishery Biologist in Hayward; 2) The information collected by the Self-help monitor should be entered into the department database; 3) The department will only fund the purchase of the Hach HQ 30 meter. The lake association may buy a different model, but they must pay the difference.
