2008 Data Summary

2008 Summer Water Quality Summary
Parameters Range Mean TSI Value Lake Grade
Months   June - Sept.   May - Sept.
Secchi Depth (m) 1.5 - 3.0 2.4 50 B
Surface TP (µg/L) 46 - 66 48 62 C
Chlorophyll-a (µg/L) 1 - 24 12.2 57 B
    Overall Score 56 B-

The following summary refers to Figure 12.5 (a-c).

  • In the beginning of the season, secchi disk depth was 3.6 m and decreased to 1.5 m by middle of July (standard > 1.2 m). Secchi disk depth slightly increased to 1.9 m by September.
  • Chlorophyll-a concentrations were below the standard (< 15 µg/L), until July. In August, concentrations were at 24 µg/L then decreased to 18 µg/L by the end of the season.
  • Surface TP concentrations were below the standard (< 40 µg/L) in May. The remainder of the season, concentrations were above the standard ranging from 51 µg/L to 66 µg/L, with the maximum concentration reached in July.
