Segment Memos 1
For the 2006 and later Section 305(b)/303(d) cycles, West Okoboji Lake was subdivided into the following segments for purposes of developing water quality assessments: main lake basin south, Emersons Bay, Smiths Bay, Millers Bay, and main lake basin north. These segments were created to better use the water quality data collected as part of the DNR beach monitoring program which includes monitoring at four of this lake’s beaches. Developing separate assessments for the main lake basin as well as for the Lake’s bays represents a more accurate characterization of water quality conditions than did past assessments which developed only one assessment for the entire lake.
