r i i ft , 1. Lake Water Quality Planning On April 19,1995, a meeting of lake managers, the Technical Advisory Committee and SEH staff was conducted to review the lake management reports. Joel Schilling, Senior Scientist - Limnologist, will attend the Apri127, 1995 meeting to discuss recommended management measures. One of the primary goals at the outset of the project was to "do something" with all the data that exists, i.e. the trends analysis. This appears relatively simple, except that the data does not always conform to represent any particular trend. The second goal was to establish in-lake phosphorous goals for each lake. The goal to be worked towards would essentially define future BNiPs around the lake as well as future in- lake management techniques. During earlier meetings with area lake managers, there appears to be widely ranging opinions regarding the applicability of goals to lake management. On one side of the argument for target goals are the state 8410 requirements for Second Generation WMO plans (8410.0100 Subpart 3.A.) and future MPCA guidelines for lakes following the "Ecoregion" approach. (The ecoregion approach is based on lakes situated in a similar ecological setting). On the side against specific lake goals is the argument that there are too many influences on the lake to accurately set a target phosphorous level. Instead,.managers should do the best they can to limit impacts to the lake. As an outcome of the April 19 meeting, actual in-lake targets are established. The implications of the targets and the need for watershed improvements, like American Legion Park, are emphasized. 1' 2. American Legion Park Project Bids for the American Legion Park project were received on February 10, 1995. The engineer's estimate for the project was $65,560. The low bid went to Arnt Construction in the amount of $64,470. The original schedule anticipated a construction start date of February 20, 1995. As discussed at the January meeting, there was a potential for delay of construction due to permit requirements. You will recall that we provided the review agencies with a
