MRBDC Bass Lake - Lake Assessment Program


MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Bass Lake - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   32053

The project area is the Bass Lake subshed of minor watershed 32053 located within the Le Sueur River Major Watershed.

The Bass Lake project was completed through the MPCA Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1993. A LAP report includes general information about a lake's trophic status, factors affecting nutrient input to the lake (such as land cover/land use or point source pollution potential), fisheries health, water quality, historical trend analysis and watershed assessment modeling.




Surface Water Quality Monitoring

Data Summary Bass Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected five times during the 1993 sampling season from in-lake sites during baseline conditions. Sample analysis includes total phosphorus, total kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite-nitrogen, chloride, suspended solids, alkalinity, color and turbidity.

Watershed Assessment

Data Summary Bass Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes data from a watershed assessment which used the Minnesota Lake Eutrophication Analysis Procedure (MINLEAP) model to assess changes in the quality of the lake resulting from altered nutrient inputs or altered flow. The model incorporates water quality, point source pollution potential, land cover/land use and inflow and outflow data in its assessment.
