Of the six lakes that were being monitored for one year during the project, Gorman and Sabre lakes have the highest levels of phosphorus of more than 1,000 ppb. This project includes in-lake sampling and stream sampling. Parameters that will be sampled in-lake include: TP, Chlorophyll, Nitrate-Nitrite nitrogen, TKN, Total Suspended Solids, Total Volatile Suspended Solids and Chlorides. Field measurements include DO/Temperature, pH and Secchi. Stream monitoring includes: TP, NH3, Nitrate-Nitrite, TKN, TSS, Chlorides, E.Coli. Field measurements include pH, transparency tube and flow estimate. Gorman and Sabre Lakes are located in Le Sueur County in the Upper Cannon River Watershed. Gorman and Sabre lakes are two of four lakes in the Upper Cannon River Watershed that the Cannon River flows directly through the lakes. This project will enhance the Upper Cannon Assessment Project (UCAP) just as UCAP will enhance the results of the Gorman Sabre Lakes Assessment project.
