Minor watershed number(s): 31020
The project area is the St. James Lake subshed of minor watershed 31020 located within the Watonwan River Major Watershed.
The St. James Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1990. 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 |
St. James Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected from two sampling sites on five different occasions during the spring and summer of 1990. Analysis included the following parameters: total kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate-nitrite nitrogen, suspended solids, alkalinity, chloride, color, turbidity, chlorophyll-a, temperature, pH, conductivity, transparency, and dissolved oxygen measurements. |

Watershed Assessment
Data Summary |
St. James Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes data from a watershed assessment which used two water quality models, MINLEAP and Reckow and Simpson. The computer models relate the flow of water and nutrients from the lake's watershed to the observed conditions in the lake. |
