LITTLE ST GERMAIN LAKE P & R DISTRICT: Little St. Germain Lake Water Quality Monitoring & Analysis

Purpose

The Little St. Germain Protection and Rehabilitation District proposes to address questions raised by past monitoring efforts pertaining to the continuing poor water quality in Northeast and South Bays, the extent of winter anoxia, and the relationship between fluctuating water levels and water quality. Project activites include 1) estimate the annual total phosphorus load from Muskellunge Creek, resulting in a data summary and load calculation; 2) water quality monitoring at 3 sites for trophic and field parameters, resulting in a data summary; 3) determining the extent of winter anoxia, resulting in a data summary; and 4) relating water level fluctuations to lake water quality, resulting in a report summarizing data and analyzing the relationship. The sponsor will prepare a final report of the project and provide the Department with a paper copy and electronic copy of the report. The sponsor will disseminate information about the project results to the public by newsletter, public meeting, summary report mailing, and local newspaper article. end.
