Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: The purpose of this project is to complete a lake data set for Skoglund's Slough (21-0084-00), a lake that MPCA has been targeted for assessment in 2011. Lake chemistry data such as total phosphorus and chlorophyll a, along with secchi disk will be collected five times a summer (June-Sept.) for two years. In addition, trained volunteers will be collecting water quality data on four stream sites in the targeted watershed. This monitoring will help these lake associations meet their lake management plan goals, as well as 2009-2019 Comprehensive Local Water Management Plan goals and enable 303(d) and 305 (b) assessments. These three lakes have active associations that have been developing lake management plans with the West Central Initiative Healthy Lakes program and are regularly engaged in the COLA (Douglas County Lakes Assocation).
