HCRP is intended to exemplify a sustainable approach to development, by protecting the natural environment of both the site itself and the neighboring Rathbun Lake. To meet this goal both water quality monitoring and stormwater management must be part of the development plans. • Water Quality Monitoring • Stormwater Management & Design
Before, During Construction and Not Quite Done
Boat ramp and RV Park Lodge Construction
Water Quality Monitoring Goal : To protect Rathbun Lake from contaminants due to construction activities at HCRP Work Plan: • Baseline monitoring • Construction monitoring • Post-construction / Operational monitoring?? • Components: • Lake (near shore and offshore) • Surface and integrated depth samples • Stormwater inputs • Static/first flush and automated samplers
Monitoring Protocol • Storm Events • First flush samples with static samplers at many locations • Automatic sampling at prime location for 12 -24 hours • Parameters- • Solids (total, suspended and volatile) • Turbidity, pH and Conductivity • In –lake Sampling • Near shore locations • Depth integrated samples for solids and nutrients • Depth profiles (YSI) for temp, DO, conductivity • Other parameters - • BTEX, pesticides, nutrients, metals
Most important aspect: Communication to Steve about monitoring results and site inspections
