<br />.', <br /> <br />In-Lake Water Quality Monitoring Program <br /> <br /> <br />A continuous water quality monitoring program is essential to the success <br /> <br /> <br />of the Clean Lakes program, The present monitoring program will be ex- <br /> <br /> <br />panded to include a complement of water quality variables which will define <br /> <br /> <br />the chemical interaction of the water column, A quality assurance program <br /> <br /> <br />will be followed to maintain sample integrity. Specifics of the program are <br /> <br /> <br />detailed in Appendix A. <br /> <br /> <br />The monitoring program should focus on problem areas in the reservoir <br /> <br /> <br />and on tributaries to the reservoir. Previous reservoir sampling has shown <br /> <br /> <br />violations of the fecal coliform standard and the source of the bacteria should <br /> <br /> <br />be isolated. This could be a problem from an outside source and monitoring <br /> <br /> <br />the reservoir inflows should define the source of the problem, Also, the <br /> <br /> <br />inlake monitoring program should concentrate on the Turkey Creek arm of <br /> <br /> <br />the reservoir as data has shown the highest concentrations of phosphorus <br /> <br /> <br />and chlorophyll a occurring in this portion of the lake. <br /> <br />Limnologic Study <br /> <br /> <br />A detailed data base for the identification of significant pollutant inputs <br /> <br /> <br />and their impact on water quality will be developed. The existing hydrology <br /> <br /> <br />of the reservoir will be determined. Further delineation of roles and re- <br /> <br /> <br />sponsibilities will be established upon the development of a detailed scope <br /> <br /> <br />of work, <br /> <br /> <br />The following techniques for lake assessment will be applied: <br /> <br />1. an analysis and discussion of existing limnologic data; <br /> <br />6 <br />
