POSKIN LAKE ASSOCIATION INC.: Phase 1, Water Quality, Lake User Survey & Education
Return to Search

Purpose

Poskin Lake Association is sponsoring a three-phase project to assess watershed, water quality, shoreline, and aquatic plant conditions; determine nutrient loads and model lake response; develop watercraft inspection and AIS monitoring programs; distribute and analyze a sociological survey; coordinate stakeholder participation and planning; and develop a lake management implementation plan. The final deliverable will be a single lake management plan that includes methodologies, results, and management alternatives discussion with an implementation plan. Interim deliverables for each phase include a progress report with results, including maps, spreadsheets, and other data collected during the given phase. The specific Phase 1 (LPL-1270-09) project tasks include: 1) Expanded water quality monitoring at three lake sites, including purchase of a dissolved oxygen meter; 2) Water quality and flow monitoring on Vermillion River; 3) Lake user education, including implementation of Clean Boats Clean Waters and AIS monitoring; 4) Sociological survey of riparians and local community. Special Conditions: 1) WDNR's Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance should be followed for point-intercept survey monitoring and aquatic plant management plan development; 2) Draft public surveys and shoreline inventory methods must be reviewed and approved by the Department before being initiated. This scope is intended to summarize the detailed project scope provided in the application and does not supersede those application tasks/deliverables. 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.
