MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Sleepy Eye Lake - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   29007

The project area is the Sleepy Eye Lake lakeshed of minor watershed 29007 located in the Cottonwood River Major Watershed.

The Sleepy Eye 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 Sleepy Eye Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected two sites during the 1993 to 1995 sampling seasons. 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 Sleepy Eye Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes data from a watershed assessment which used two lake water quality models, MINLEAP and Reckow and Simpson. The models estimated water quality based on the morphometry and watershed characteristics of Sleepy Eye Lake.
