BIG CHETAC CHAIN LAKE ASSOCIATION: "Getting Rid of the Green" Project-Phase 1

Purpose

Big Chetac Chain Lake Association is sponsoring a multi-phase comprehensive lake management planning project for Big Chetac Lake, Sawyer County. The project includes tributary, in-lake, and groundwater monitoring; septic survey; nutrient budget development; paleoecological core; aquatic plant survey and management plan; and community survey and education with a comprehensive lake management and implementation plan as the final deliverable. Phase 1 includes: 1. Biweekly in-lake water quality monitoring (TP, TN, chl a surface and temp/DO/pH and TP profiles) at three sites during the growing season. 2. Installation and daily recording of lake level staff gage. 3. Stream flow measurements and water quality sampling at five tributary sites (two storm event and two baseflow measurements). Army Corps of Engineers water quality staff is a project partner and will be contracted for all laboratory analyses. The Phase 1 deliverables are data collection spreadsheets/summaries. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Coordinator.
