POLK COUNTY LWRD: Lotus Lake Carp Removal Assessment - Phase 1
Polk County is sponsoring a project to assess the impacts of carp removal and develop a Comprehensive Lake Management Plan for Lotus Lake. The final deliverables include all data collected, agendas and minutes for planning meetings, and a lake management plan that includes methodologies, results, and management alternatives discussion with an implementation plan. Specific Phase 1 project tasks include: 1) In-Lake water quality monitoring; 2) Tributary water quality & flow monitoring; 3) Phytoplankton & Zooplankton monitoring; 4) Lake level & precipitation monitoring; 5) Conduct sociologic survey. Special Conditions: 1) CLMN efforts should not be duplicated, and these data shall be included in the trends analysis and final reporting; 2) Sponsor shall contact DNR immediately if a new AIS is found; 3) Draft sociological/user surveys and shoreline assessments must be reviewed and approved by the Department before being initiated. 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.
