Monitoring season duration was from May through September. Surface samples were collected once a month throughout the season and the parameters analyzed include: total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a. Measurements of Secchi disc depth were also recorded.
| 2008 Summer Water Quality Summary |
| Parameters | Range | Mean | TSI Value | Lake Grade |
| Months | June - Sept. | May - Sept. | ||
| Secchi Depth (m) | 1.9 - 2.1 | 1.9 | 50 | C |
| Surface TP (µg/L) | 19 - 43 | 33.4 | 53 | C |
| Chlorophyll-a (µg/L) | 1 - 15 | 7.6 | 50 | A |
| Overall Score | 51 | B- |
The following summary refers to Figure 7.9 (a-c).
- Secchi disk depth increased from 1.5 m to 2.1 m by July and then decreased to 2.0 m for the remainder of the season (standard > 1.2 m).
- Chlorophyll-a concentrations decreased from 9 m to 1 µg/L by July. The rest of the season, concentrations increased from 9 µg/L to 15 µg/L. Chlorophyll-a concentrations remained below or equal to the standard limit (< 15 µg/L) for the entire season.
- Surface TP concentrations decreased gradually over the season beginning at 51 µg/L and dropping to 19 µg/L. Concentrations were below the standard limit (< 40 µg/L) from July to September.
