Polk County Land and Water Resources Department is sponsoring a two-phase project to assess water quality and biological conditions and trends; engage and survey landowners and stakeholders; survey and develop a management plan for aquatic plants; and monitor stormwater. Deliverables include: a report that details results of project components and results, including nutrient budget and modeling, and aquatic plant and stormwater management plans. The specific Phase 1 (LPL-1297-09) project tasks include: 1) Expanded water quality monitoring, including algae and zooplankton monitoring; 2) Lake level and precipitation monitoring; 3) In/outflow monitoring; 4) Groundwater monitoring and flow estimates; 5) Sociological survey; 6) Education and outreach, including a pontoon classroom, aquatic plant workshop, and NEMO presentation. Special Conditions: 1) CLMN efforts should not be duplicated, and these data should be included in the trends analysis and final reporting; 2) WDNR's Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance should be followed for point-intercept survey monitoring and aquatic plant management plan development; 3) Draft public surveys and shoreline inventory methods must be reviewed and approved by the Department before being initiated.
