WINDSOR AREA LAKE P & R DISTRICT: Lake Windsor Watershed Data Collection & Sediment Study

Purpose

Mapping of watershed boundaries. Mapping of land use and land cover along with slopes, soils and rainfall data. Data to be used with DNR sediment delivery model if available. One soil sample each to be taken from lake and watershed. Samples to beanalyzed for: particle size, total Kjeldahl N, P, N, K, Ca, C1, Mg, Na, pH SO4, and SDWA pesticides and herbicides. Water chemistry sampling to include one sample right after ice-out in the spring at a depth of 2-3 feet. Sample to be analyzed for: NO2NO3, total Kjeldahl N, dissolved P, total P, Ca, C1, Mg, Na, K, pH, dissolved solids, SO4, and SDWA pesticides and herbicides. Water quality analysis to be conducted by the State Lab or Hygiene. Water quality sampling will attempt to determine cause ofrecent fish kills. Estimates of volume and characteristics of incoming sediment will be made and recommendations developed to reduce erosion from high erosion producing areas. Recommendations will be made on ways to trap sediment and nutrients.Information will be distributed to the public by newsletter mailings, public meetings, local newspaper articles, and TV spots (Madison). Project results will be reposited at Windsor Town Hall and Windsor Lake office.
