Parameters Range Mean TSI Value Lake Grade
Months   June - Sept.   May - Sept.
Secchi Depth (m) 1.1 - 2.9 50 2.2 C
Surface TP (µg/L) 33 - 46 57 40.2 C
Chlorophyll-a (µg/L) 2 - 41 59 14.6 B
    Overall Score 55 C+

The following summary refers to Figure 3.25 (a-c).

  • Secchi disk depth increased from 2.6 m to 2.9 m by the middle of July. Secchi disk depth decreased to 1.1 m by the middle of September (standard > 1.2 m).
  • From May to June, chlorophyll-a concentrations were less than 5 µg/L. In the middle of July, chlorophyll-a concentrations increased to 41 µg/L, then decreased below the standard limit for the remainder of the season (standard < 15 µg/L).
  • Surface TP concentrations fluctuated between 33 µg/L and 46 µg/L throughout the season (standard limit < 40 µg/L).
