Oxygen in deep-water areas of the lake will reduce the release of phosphorous from the lake sediment and decrease the level of lake fertilization. This will result in improved water clarity and algae conditions thereby improving water quality conditions for recreation and aesthetics.
Local resources to be provided include volunteer services during installatiotn, volunteer services regarding project management, and financial contribution from Green Lake County.
The project deliverables will include design and installation of a system of compressors and airline sufficient to circulate lake water in the deepest portions of the lake generally greater than 15 feet; report of evaluation monitoring of lake nutrient and mixing conditions after the system becomes operational; and, conduct pre and post operation public informational meetings and prepare fact sheets (current lake conditions, descriptions of circ system, goals/benefits/ecological effects).

The project will consist of collecting, analysing and summarizing new and existing physical, chemical and biological data for the preparation of an educational brochure. A survey will be conducted of lake users and area residents about perceptions, attitudes and expecations for the lake; resident advisory "issue teams" will be organized to develop management strategies addressing these issues. The results of all "issue team" efforts will be summarized in a comprehensive lake management plan. In addition, the goals and objectives for each issue identified by the "issue teams" will be documented. This lake management plan will be developed that will incorporate historical data, current status relative to land use and water quality and the publics' expectations for the future of the lake. It will also describe management alternatives and any conflicts or consequences resulting from multiple uses and expectations for the lake. This plan, the educational brochure and survey results will be presented at the District's annual meeting and through its newsletters, both pre-project and post-project work.

This scope is intended to summarize the more specific scope, as provided in the grant application and does not supersede the specific scope elements described with in the application

Lake Puckaway Protection & Rehab District: Lake Puckaway Wind Fetch And Wave Modeling For Habitat Improvement: The Lake Puckaway P & R District is sponsoring a project in partnership the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to model lake bed sediment re-suspension via use of the Wind / Wave model. Results of the study will be used to plan future habitat restoration projects on this impaired lake system.
Specific project activities include: 1) Run wind /wave model; 2) Hold stakeholder meetings to share results and solicit ideas / input; 3) Re-run model with at least three alternative island configurations.
Project final deliverables include: 1) All data collected, 2) agendas and minutes for planning meetings, 3) and a plan that includes methodologies, results, and management alternatives discussion.
Special Conditions: 1) All data shall be entered into the SWIMS database
This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. 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 Biologist.
Consultant final report: it is recommended that Grantee provide DNR Lake Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. DNR to receive both paper (bound) and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to submission of grantee's final payment request.

Green Lake County: Fox River Water Quality Monitoring Project: Green Lake County's Department of Land Conservation proposes to conduct a water quality monitoring project on the Fox River, from the inlet of Lake Puckaway to Berlin. This project will provide a solid water quality inventory to be used as the basis for future implementation of BMPs within the watershed. The county is partnering with Fox-Wolf 2000 to not only develop a local interest group for the Upper Fox River, but also to enhance the existing Fox-Wolf 2000 group. A final report will detail all results and activities of this project.
The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report.
