Several of the in-lake improvement options are intended to create an environment that will <br />reduce algae growih by limiting the internal phosphorus load (c recycling), limiting light, <br />and/or improving conditions for algal grazing. Since this may result in a redistributiou of <br />algae and grazing species, as wJI as lower algal bloom frequencies, samples should be <br />analyzed for phytoplankton and zooplankton species both before and after implementation. <br />Tlie following specific changes to the Stubbs Bay watershed monitoring program are recommended: <br />Continuous flow monitoring equipment should be installed at the Classen Lake and Stubbs <br />Bay Inlet creek locations <br />Continuous flow and weekly water quality sampling should be done for a year, both before <br />and after implementation of the chosen watershed and in-lake improvement options <br />Th» following specific changes to the Stubbs Bay lake monitoiing program arc recommended both <br />bfjk'te and after implementation of the chosen watershed and in-lakc improvement options: <br />Total and soluble phosphorus samples should be taken at one-meter intervals and analy zed, <br />on a monthly (or bi-weekly, if possible) basis, as part of the rcp 'lar lake water quality <br />monitoring visits <br />• Regular lake water quality monitoring events should continue, on a monthly basis in the <br />winter, between November and March <br />A detailed survey to determine macrophyte densities and depth of colonization for observed <br />plant species along transects throughout the lake area <br />Samples should be taken biweekly from May through September and cnumera'ed for <br />phytoplankton and zooplankton species. Phytoplankton samples should be taken from a surface <br />to 2-meter composite sample, and zooplankton from a botlom-to-surface vcrtic.-!! tow with a <br />Wisconsin-style plankton net <br />The recommended changes to the watershed and lake monitoring programs arc estimated to cost ar. <br />additional $30,000 and $45,000. respectively, compared to the c.\isting programs, on an annual basis. <br />f \2JU7\rt(M>«*ft Stubti* Bi> FeiSibilitj' Study doc <br />i
