LAKE NEBAGAMON SANITARY SEWER COM: Lake Nebagamon Management Planning Project

Lake Nebagamon Sanitary Sewer Commission is sponsoring a comprehensive monitoring, modeling, and planning project. The project will also specifically seek to answer whether a sanitary sewer expansion is necessary. Activities include: sociological survey; ordinance review/inventory; aquatic plant, plankton, near-shore periphyton, water quality, water level and discharge and shoreline monitoring; watershed mapping and land use characterization; and nutrient (SLaMM and FLUX) and ecosystem (AQUATOX) modeling. This information will be integrated with stakeholder/public participation to create a comprehensive lake management plan.

Deliverables include: 1) a comprehensive lake management plan with stakeholder survey and results summary; quantified management goals; lake condition assessment; stressor analysis; specific management recommendations; and 2) a non-technical summary for distribution to all riparians.

Special Conditions: 1) sociological surveys should be coordinated with DNR Research Sociologist; 2) SLOH will be used for laboratory analyses unless otherwise approved by DNR Lab Coordinator; 3) DNR monitoring methods (e.g. aquatic plant point-intercept survey) must be followed.

This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Coordinator.
