Lake Almanor Water Quality Report, 2009

Title
Lake Almanor Water Quality Report, 2009
Abstract
A water quality monitoring program for Lake Almanor was conducted during 2009.Four sampling windows were chosen for sampling to provide a look at lake health: during spring turnover (April 6-11), the period of heavy recreational use (July 6-11 and August 31- September 5) and fall turnover (November 16-21). Four stations in the lake were selected: LA-01, near the Canyon Dam Intake Tower; LA-02, in the east lobe; LA-18, near the east shore; and LA-03, in the west lobe. A station in Chester (LA-04) was selected for monitoring the North Fork of the Feather River just prior to discharge into the lake. A water quality monitoring program for Lake Almanor was conducted during 2009. The Plumas County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, in conjunction with the Almanor Basin Watershed Advisory Committee (ABWAC), provided oversight for the contract. Due to the limited funds available for this project, ABWAC selected some of the important parameters that had been monitored in the past by California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the County of Plumas and Pacific Gas & Electric Company. Four sampling windows were chosen for sampling to provide a look at lake health: during spring turnover (April 6-11), the period of heavy recreational use (July 6-11 and August 31- September 5) and fall turnover (November 16-21). Four stations in the lake were selected: LA-01, near the Canyon Dam Intake Tower; LA-02, in the east lobe; LA-18, near the east shore; and LA-03, in the west lobe. A station in Chester (LA-04) was selected for monitoring the North Fork of the Feather River just prior to discharge into the lake. ThEIR locations are shown in Figure 1. The parameters and sampling times are shown in Table 1, below.
