This book was released on 1976 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The water quality of the proposed LaFarge Lake, Wisconsin, was investigated using a version of the reservoir portion of the Water Quality for River-Reservoir Systems (WQRRS) ecological model. Although other water-quality constituents were simulated, the study concentrated on temperature, dissolved oxygen, and algae concentrations. Daily field measurements of phosphorus and nitrogen on the Kickapoo River were used in the simulations. Algal bioassays were also conducted on the Kickapoo River and surrounding impoundments. These assays indicated that essentially all of the soluble nitrogen and phosphorus in the river were in forms available for algal growth and that phosphorus was most likely to be the limiting nutrient in the proposed impoundment. The simulations indicated that LaFarge Lake probably will be thermally stratified from May through September.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The water quality of the proposed LaFarge Lake, Wisconsin, was investigated for a lower pool elevation (250.5 m MSL) using a version of the reservoir portion of the Water Quality for River-Reservoir Systems (WQRRS) ecological model. As in a previous study at a higher elevation (256 m MSL), the effort concentrated on temperature, dissolved oxygen, and algae. All model coefficients from the previous study were retained with the exception of Secchi disk depth, which was reduced from 3 to 2 m to account for probable increased turbidity at the lower pool elevation. The simulations indicated that LaFarge Lake would be a dynamic impoundment at the lower pool elevation. Temperature stratification was weak and intermittent. Dissolved oxygen was distributed throughout the pool during periods of complete mixing and was rapidly depleted in the hypolimnion during periods of stratification. A bloom of diatoms and green algae during the spring and at least two major blooms of blue-green algae during summer and fall were predicted. The phasing of these blooms was similar to that found at the higher elevation, but the two blue-green algae blooms increased in magnitude at the lower pool level. Coliforms were found to persist longer and to be distributed throughout more of the pool at the lower elevation. The phosphorus loadings at the lower pool elevation were approximately twice as large, but since the flushing rate was increased approximately three times, the eutrophication potentials of the two pool levels, based on Vollenweider's loading curves, were similar. It was not possible to meet downstream temperature objectives for a cold-water fishery. (Author).

This book was released on 1972 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plan consists of a multiple-purpose lake for flood control, fish and wildlife production, and recreation. The dam-site would be located on the Kickapoo River about 1 mile north of La Farge, in Vernon County, southwestern Wisconsin. The dam would be an earth-fill structure with an overall length of 3,960 feet and a maximum height of 103 feet. The conservation or recreation pool at elevation 840 is designed to impound 33,000 acre-feet of water with a surface area of about 1,780 acres extending about 12 miles upstream. Local flood protection measures for the downstream communities of Gays Mills and Soldiers Grove have been approved; however these are separate projects which will be treated in separate environmental impact statements.

Book excerpt: The plan consists of a multiple-purpose lake for flood control, fish, and wildlife production, and recreation. The dam site would be located on the Kickapoo River about 1 mile north of La Farge and would be an earth-fill structure. About 1,780 acres of water-surface area and about 8,000 acres of land would be converted to public ownership, and about 1,400 acres of project land would be used for recreational development. Creation of the conservation recreation pool would inundate about 1,780 acres, and nearby areas would be subject to the effects of periodic indundation.

Download or read book Water Quality Evaluation of Proposed Trexler Lake Jordan Creek Pennsylvania written by Dennis E. Ford and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The water quality of proposed Trexler Lake, Pennsylvania, was evaluated with respect to its eutrophication potential and water quality criteria and standards appropriate for project purposes. Study approaches included review of existing water quality data taken on the four tributaries to the proposed project; review of existing data on surrounding impoundments; algal bioassay analyses on water samples taken in the proposed tributaries and in one surrounding lake; mathematical simulation; and nutrient loading analyses. Algal bioassays were conducted on water samples taken in Mill, Lyon, Switzer, and Jordan creeks and in Beltzville Lake. All samples were phosphorus limited, and all of the orthophosphate was available for algal growth. The proposed Trexler Lake is expected to be in the mesotrophic or early eutrophic stage and exhibit strong thermal stratification during the summer months with a 1-month period of hypolimnetic anoxia during the fall. The project purposes are not expected to be vitiated by water quality although the lake is expected to be anoxic for a short time during late summer. Appendix A describes the algal assay procedures. Appendix B discusses the Hydrocomp simulation of Jordan Creek drainage basin. Appendix C presents the initial conditions, coefficients, and updates for mathematical ecological simulations. Appendix D lists the coefficient references.
