Monitoring Plan and Volunteer Participation

Treatment Monitoring –Cost Initial operational/maintenance –Algal cover (monthly) Aesthetic acceptance (homeowners) Quantitative measure (photo documentation) –Water quality (monthly) TSS, TN, TP Water column sample just beyond littoral shelf –Ecological condition (monthly) Aquatic fauna – visual inspection Dip net – visual inspection

Algal Cover (Homeowner perception) Need “observer” feedback Preferable 5 people or more per lake Electronic survey form –SurveyMonkey

Algal Cover (Photo station) Pre determined location on shoreline Photo taken of same scene every time Use quadrate within photo frame for scale Photo should be taken same time of day and conditions Three photo stations at every pond x x x x x x

Water Quality Sampling 100ml of water collected from three stations around the lake Sample to be collected at outer edge of littoral shelf –Sample bottle on cane pole Subsamples composited for pond Samples frozen and collected monthly for analysis

Ecological Condition Visual scan of pond from photo station Fill out data sheet –Do you see any wildlife? Birds, turtles, fish –How does the vegetation along the shoreline look Healthy, sparse, dead Visual inspection of shoreline at water sampling location Fill out data sheet –How many aquatic animals do you see? –How many different types of animals do you see? Aquatic insects, tadpoles, fish, snails –Do you see algae present?

Need Volunteers to sign up for pond monitoring Training session for volunteers Friday 6/19
