HCRP is intended to exemplify a sustainable approach to development, by protecting the natural environment of both the site itself and the neighboring Rathbun Lake. To meet this goal both water quality monitoring and stormwater management must be part of the development plans. Water Quality Monitoring Stormwater Management & Design

Before, During Construction and Not Quite Done

Boat ramp and RV Park Lodge Construction

Water Quality Monitoring Goal : To protect Rathbun Lake from contaminants due to construction activities at HCRP Work Plan: Baseline monitoring Construction monitoring Post-construction / Operational monitoring?? Components: Lake (near shore and offshore) Surface and integrated depth samples Stormwater inputs Static/first flush and automated samplers

HCRP WQ Monitoring Sites

Monitoring Protocol Storm Events First flush samples with static samplers at many locations Automatic sampling at prime location for hours Parameters- Solids (total, suspended and volatile) Turbidity, pH and Conductivity In –lake Sampling Near shore locations Depth integrated samples for solids and nutrients Depth profiles (YSI) for temp, DO, conductivity Other parameters - BTEX, pesticides, nutrients, metals

Static stormwater samplers

Site nearest Lodge Construction

In-stream sampling for BTEX

Automated stormwater sampling

Most important aspect: Communication to Steve about monitoring results and site inspections
