City Of Eau Claire: Lmi-Alum Treatment Half Moon Lake: The City of Eau Claire is sponsoring a Lake Management Planning Implementation project aimed to control internal sediment phosphorus loading in Halfmoon Lake by applying alum. The lake received an initial AL treatment in 2011 and was effective at maintaining TP WQ goals for three years, however after five years the effects have diminished. The initial alum treatment dosage was adequate however the floc did not sink into the upper sediment due to higher bulk density characteristics allowing upward P diffusion and decreasing binding efficiency of phosphorus. The second treatment is needed to bind available TP limiting the amount available to algae uptake. The City continues to address other sources of TP including stormwater management, rain gardens etc.

Project activities include: Apply a buffered AL dose to the western arm of Half Moon Lake that is encompassed by the 10 foot contour in late May or early June 2017. Dosage is based on sequestering the annual sediment P flux rate of 0.4g/m2 for 2 to 3 years and factors in an Al binding efficiency of 60% (James 2016 and 2017).

Project deliverables: The outcome of AL treatment to the western arm will be control of internal P loading and reduction of cyanobaceterial biomanss and chlorophyll to target levels. Limnological monitoring will be conducted to verify outcomes.

Special conditions:
1. The Half moon lake Team consisting of DNR, UW Stout, City of EC and Friends of Halfmoon Lake meet quarterly to assess current lake management actions. There continues to be open and ongoing communication with the group to inform residents on current lake conditions and management decisions.
2. All necessary permits must be issued prior to the project being implemented.

Lake Altoona P & R District: Lake Altoona Sediment Transport And Sedimentation Evaluation And Modeling - Project 1 Gap Analysis: The Lake Altoona Rehabilitation and Protection District is sponsoring a project to conduct a gap analysis of current sedimentation data.

Project final deliverables include: all data collected, agendas and minutes for planning meetings, and a report that includes methodologies and results.

Specific project activities include:
1. Gather existing reports that will provide background information and set a baseline
in time of sediment sources and movement upstream of Lake Altoona.
2. Compile all existing flow, stage, and sediment transport records for the Eau Claire
River and tributaries pertinent to the study, to include USGS gage records and other
data.
3. Review all materials and information compiled in objectives 1 and 2 and develop a
bibliography of existing information and recommendations for obtaining missing
information by 30 June 2023.

Special Conditions: WDNR will be provided electronic and hard copies of data and reports/plans generated as a result of this project.

Lake Altoona P & R District: Economic Valuation Of Lake Altoona: The Lake Altoona Rehabilitation and Protection District is sponsoring a project to conduct a user survey of Lake Altoona to assess the economic impact or value of the lake.

Project final deliverables include: all data collected, agendas and minutes for planning meetings, and a report that includes methodologies and results.


Specific project activities include:
Compiling & Coding the Survey Results \2013 the UW-River Falls Survey Research Center (SRC) would check/clean competed survey instruments, then perform data entry.
\2022 Produce a Summary Report \2013 In addition to providing the raw data, produce a narrative report with cross-tabs, graphs, and a discussion of key findings. The report will be relatively brief, since there will be a limited number of survey questions.
\2022 In addition to summarizing the data, the report may include statistical analysis as requested by the Lake District.
