Minor watershed number(s):   30077

The project area was the Fox Lake lakeshed which is minor watershed 30077.

The Fox 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 (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 Fox Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected five times from two in-lake sites during the spring and summer of 1993. Sample 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.
