Purpose
Washington County is sponsoring a project to develop elements of Comprehensive Lake Management Plans for Little Cedar Lake, Friess Lake and Pike Lake.
Activities: 1) TSI Monitoring and Ambient Profile data will be collected 4 times a year for each lake; 2) Shoreline habitat disturbance survey will be conducted on each lake; 3) Septic system data will be compiled for each lake; 4) existing point intercept data for Pike Lake will be analyzed; 5) PRESTO models will be developed for each lake; 6) Boat counts will be completed for each lake and 7) a lake user survey will be developed; data compiled will be given to each lake.
Deliverables: 1) Analysis of TSI and profile data; 2) Maps illustrating shoreline habitat disturbance survey results; 3) List of potentially failing or unmaintained septic systems; 4) Plant distribution maps and comparison tables for existing Pike Lake point intercept data; 5) discussion of PRESTO model results; 6) analysis of boat counts for each lake; and 7) results and analysis of each lake user survey.
Conditions: 1) Enter data collected into SWIMS database under the grant project number; 2) Draft user survey questions to be reviewed and approved by DNR Social Scientist before distribution or use; 3) Provide DNR Biologist with draft versions of the management plans for review.
This scope summarizes details provided in the application and does not negate tasks and/or deliverables described therein. Data, reports, surveys, and supporting information, including photos, maps and GIS data, must be submitted to the DNR Biologist in electronic format and in any other format they specify.Related Reports
