CITY OF HUDSON: Lake Mallalieu Water Quality Data Collection & Analysis

Purpose

1) Comprehensive mapping of Lake Mallalieu drainage basin topography (including slopes analysis), soils, and land uses, (as described on pgs. 2-3 of 'professional services description' in application). 2) Update bathymetric map of lake, (map will beused as base for aquatic plant survey). 3) Research existing law and enforcement alternatives related to septic systems. 4) Pursue existing research into groundwater pollution. 5) Water quality monitoring to be conducted at one site during springturnover and five times during the summer (June - Sept.). Sampling parameters and protocol as described on pgs. 1-3 of Barr Engineering proposal in application. In addition fecal coliform sampling is to be conducted with each monitoring session (totalof 6 times). 6) Detailed macrophyte survey will be done according to DNR protocols and shall include mapping of the distribution of purple loosestrife within the lake and its riparian borders. 7) Maintain public awareness through Lakes Associationnewsletter, periodic attendance at public meetings, and newspaper and TV an/or radio press releases. 8) Prepare and distribute interim general report to include all data collected during project.
