AMNICON/DOWLING LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: Dowling Lake Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment

Purpose

The Amnicon/Dowling Lake Management District proposes to continue the water quality monitoring on Dowling Lake and continue their lake management planning process. Project activities include 1) monitoring lake water quality from April to November, 2) monitoring and evaluating "Hot Spot" sites for potential harmful runoff duirng precipitation events, 3) monitor six existing shoreline wells to characterize goundwater quality and potential lake impacts, 4) install six seepage meters around the lake and monitor quality of groundwater entering the lake, 5) evaluate previously identified areas of concern and make recommendations for the implementation of "Best Management Practices" where indicated, and 6) analyze and characterize the lake sediments. A final report will be prepared describing the project results. A paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report will be provided to the Department of Natural Resources.
