POLK COUNTY: Lost Lake Assessment Study

Purpose

The Polk County Land & Water Resources Department will conduct a comprehensive lake management planning project involving a study and evaluation of Lost Lake in Polk County. Project activities include; delineating the watershed, conducting a comprehensive in-lake water quality survey, conducting an exotic species inventory, compiling a land use and soils inventory, monitoring lake level and precipitation, conducting a lake sediment survey, conducting a biodiversity survey, and conducting a lake modeling assessment to determine hydrologic and nutrient budgets for the lake. The project data will be utilized to generate a final project report. Specific deliverables for this grant project include: 1. A comprehensive final report, including the results of all of the project activities and the developed management strategies. The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report.
