Abstract

This report has two purposes. First, it is a resource to be used by watershed planners, water quality action groups, individual citizens, and local, county and state government staff. It can serve as a guide to help these groups understand and identify how excessive algae and non-algal suspended solids cause Lost Island Lake’s lack of clarity. Second, this report satisfies the Federal Clean Water Act requirement to establish a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for waterbodies on the impaired waters list.
