Bone Lake Management District is sponsoring a two-phase project to better understand phosphorous loading and develop implementation plans for lake protection projects. The final deliverable will be a single report that includes methodologies, results, and updated modeling, water quality, and management objectives. This report will also include specific lake improvement or protection strategies for implementation. The specific Phase 1 (LPL-1306-10) project tasks include: 1) Curlyleaf pondweed bed mapping, biomass calculations, and phosphorous sampling of plant tissues and surrounding water column; 2) Expanded tributary flow and nutrient monitoring in areas identified as contributing higher phosphorous loads; 3) Weekly temp/DO profiles; 4) Analyses of all data collected in 1 thru 3 and re-evaluation of watershed management objectives and water quality goals based on the results.
