Assessment Comments
Monitored in 1990 by ISU as part of the Clean Lakes Classification study (1994).
Basis for Assessment
Assessment was changed to FST for the 1994 report for the following reasons: (1) results of monitoring show that averages of secchi depth, chl-a, total-P, and TSS are approximately equal to, or better than, overall averages for the 116 SPOLs sampled in 1990 and 1992; (2) according to Bachmann et al. (1994), lake does not have problems with fishkills and supports a relatively high amount of fishing. Support of uses is threatened by the relatively high sedimentation rate (7.0 cm/yr) and consequently the relatively short estimated life expectancy (56 years).
