WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE
This week we completed the initial watershed survey. To date we have collected data on the shoreline, roads and waterbodies that impact Northwood Lake. (a radius of about 5 miles). Special thanks to several property owners and lake associations that contributed to this survey.

There is more data to be collected before the first snows. Over the next few months all of this information will be analyzed and used to develop phosphorus loading models as well as specific recommendations for areas of improvements in the watershed.

The Northwood Lake Watershed Association has started to develop a watershed plan for Northwood Lake. Earlier this year the NLWA obtained grant funding of nearly $80,000 to develop a plan focused on maintaining and improving the water quality and health of Northwood Lake. This plan will identify sources of contamination, set water quality goals, and prioritize action. The NLWA has contracted FB Environmental to develop the plan.

We are now in the process of conducting field surveys. On September 18 a shore line survey of the entire lake was completed. In the next week we will be surveying all the roads in a radius of approximately five miles around the lake. This is done to develop a model that will help us understand how water flows into the lake.

If you have questions you can PM on this page or contact the NLWA President, [email protected].

As landowners we have the power to make a difference in the health of Northwood Lake.
