MUSKELLUNGE LAKE ASSOCIATION, INC.: Muskellunge Lake Water Quality Assessment - Phase 1

Purpose

The Muskellunge Lake Association proposes to assess hydrology, water quality, and nutrient loading to Muskellunge Lake. Phase I will include lake water quality monitoring; monitoring of stream flow, lake stage and precipitation; and determination of ground water flow patterns and quality. Results of this study will also be used to further refine the watershed analysis portion of another planning grant project being conducted on a downstream lake, Little St. Germain. Information obained in phase I will be used in combination with phase 2 to produce a final report. The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report. The project results will be disseminated to the public by newsletter(s), public meeting(s), and local newspaper articles.
