Minor watershed number(s): 26009, 26010, 26020, 26097
The project area was the Minnewaska Lake lakeshed which includes portions of minor watersheds 26009, 26010, 26020, and 26097. These minor watersheds are included in the Chippewa River Major Watershed.
The Minnewaska Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1995. 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 |
Minnewaska Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected five times from two sites during the spring and summer of 1995. 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. |

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