Eagle Lake & Watershed Quality Data
The Eagle Lake Association works with Local Areas of Government and Agencies to keep Eagle Lake at
the forefront of potential funding opportunities that will preserve and enhance our lakes water quality.
The monitoring we do on the lake and watershed are listed in the STORET program with the
Environment Protection Agency. This data is used by state environmental agencies, EPA and other
federal agencies, universities, private citizens, and many others. This means that our hard work and
continuous monitoring efforts over the years will be useable data for the above listed agencies to use in
helping them develop long term strategies for improving water quality in our state and county.
Please remember to do your part in protecting our lakes and streams. Do not use Phosphorus in your fertilizer. This gets into the lake and helps produce weeds and algae. One pound of Phosphorus produces 300-500 lbs of weeds. Do not rake or burn your leaves in or near the shoreline, leaves are also very phosphorus rich. Dumping your leaves across the road in ditches also aids in polluting our lake. These ditches and wetland areas are storage basins to help slow down the transfer of pollution from fun off. This water eventually ends up in the lake. Illegal dumping is also against the law!
We’re in our 10th year of monitoring the clarity, Phosphorus, and Chlorophyll a levels of our lake and
watershed.
Thank-you from your Eagle Lake
Improvement Association Water Quality Task Force.
