MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Long Lake - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   31014

The project area was the Long Lake lakeshed of minor watershed 31014 which is in the Watonwan River Major Watershed.

The Long Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1994. A LAP report includes general information about a lake's trophic status, factors (such as land cover/land use or point source pollution potential) affecting nutrient input to the lake, fisheries health, water quality, historical trend analysis, and watershed assessment modeling.

Surface Water Quality Monitoring

Data Summary Long Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected five times from two in-lake sites during the spring and summer of 1994. Analysis includes nutrients (total phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite-nitrogen), color, solids, pH, conductivity, alkalinity, turbidity, chlorophyll, temperature, dissolved oxygen profile, and secchi disk readings.
