Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency (MPCA). 2005. This report serves <br />as the technical basis for Minnesota's draft <br />of proposed lake nutrient criteria. MPCA's <br />previous Lake Water Quality Assessment <br />(LWQA) reports were developed as a <br />requirement for participation in Clean <br />Lakes Program. The first two editions <br />described regional patterns in lake water <br />quality in Minnesota and served as a <br />basis for developing ecoregion-based <br />phosphorus criteria. This edition builds <br />iti it tf it _. +•+ ~ . <br />on the previous reports and provides a and source areas, estimating excessive <br />detailed description of MPCA's approach sediment loads, and planning to restore <br />for setting lake nutrient criteria. Draft normal sediment dynamics in streams <br />criteria are presented and examples of.how and rivers.
