Determine areas of groundwater inflow and outflow along with the quality of the groundwater flowing into the lake 3. Delineation of surface and groundwater watersheds 4. Assessment of land uses within the watersheds 5. Aquatic macrophyte inventory 6. Survey of residents The Environmental Task Force Program will produce a report that includes areas of inflow/outflow, estimated inflow of groundwater, loading coefficients, and estimates of hardness entering McGinnis Lake via groundwater inflow.
