Lakes Planning Report

This project is a continuation of the Archibald Lake Phase 1 Lake Study. This study will gather more in depth information regarding the hydrological sources for water coming into the lake to gain more information on the hydrological source of water supplying Archibald Lake. The proposed study will aid in resolving questions of lake hydrology and nutrient fluxes to the lake. This information will be used to eventually develop a comprehensive lake management plan. The Archibald Lake Assn proposes to conduct a project that will include additional water chemistry studies for the east and west basins and the inlet creek. Instream flow will be measured of the small inlet stream where it enters the lake. Groundwater level monitoring will be measured by installing sand points in eight new locations around the lake to determine where groundwater is entering the lake. Water quality parmaeters such as conductivity will be measured along the shoreline to determine where spring ares may be contributing groundwater to the lake. Deliverables will include a report presenting the study findings. The report will recommend possible courses of action for development of a lake management plan.
