MiCORPS Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program Lake Surveys, water chemistry, 1974-2012
The Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (CLMP) has been an important component of Michigan's inland lakes monitoring program for over 39 years, which makes it the second oldest volunteer monitoring program for lakes in the country. The primary purpose of this cooperative program is to help citizen volunteers monitor indicators of water quality in their lake and document changes in lake quality over time. The goals of the CLMP are: Provide baseline information and document trends in water quality for individual lakes, Educate lake residents, users and interested citizens in the collection of water quality data, lake ecology and lake management practices, provide a cost-effective process for the DEQ to increase baseline data for lakes state-wide. Since 1992, the Michigan Lake and Stream Associations (MLSA) has administered the CLMP jointly with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) under a Memorandum of Understanding. The ML&SA will continue to administer this program under the Michigan Clean Water Corps
Hamilton-KBS lake chemistry database, Hickory Corners, MI 1998-2011
This dataset contains water chemistry measurements for lakes sampled near the Michigan State University Kellogg Biological Station in Hickory Corners, MI (n=139 lakes). Lake chemistry and chlorophyll samples were collected using an integrated tube sampler of the entire epilimnion (epilimnion depth was determined based on temperature profile) with sampling occuring from May-October with multiple sampling events per year. Samples were collected from 1998-2011, with no samples collected for several years in the mid-2000s. The data prior to 2010 were primarily collected by university researchers but beginning in 2010 sampling was undertaken by a graduate student funded by the Gull Lake Quality Organization (GLQO) to support monitoring of Gull Lake and its inflow streams. Lake samples were processed in the lab of Steve Hamilton, Michigan State University Kellogg BIological Station researcher.
Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council Comprehensive Water Quality Monitoring Program lake chemistry, MI, intermittent years between 1987-2010
The Comprehensive Water Quality Monitoring Program was launched by Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council in 1987, with subsequent field data collection in 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2010. Initially, physical and chemical data were collected on 10 lakes but the program has progressively expanded and, as of the 2010 field season, 143 samples were collected from 60 sites on 55 lakes and streams. Typically, data for nine parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, clarity, total phosphorous, total nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, and chloride) are collected at the surface, middle and bottom of the water column in each water body. This highly-accurate water quality data for lakes and rivers in Northern Michigan, collected consistently for the last 20+ years, have been compiled into a single database that can be used by staff to evaluate aquatic ecosystem health, examine trends within or among water bodies, and identify specific problems.

USEPA EMAP Surface Waters Lake Database Northeast Lake Water Chemistry Data, 1991-1994
The primary function of the lake water chemistry samples, collected with a van Dorn sampler, is to determine acid-base status, trophic state, and classification of water chemistry type. Water chemistry in lakes is analyzed for two purposes. First, to understand the chemical habitat within which biota must exist so that we can understand the biological potential of the system and second, to evaluate the chemical quality of the water for the purposes of determine the potential stresses to which the biota are exposed. Water chemistry parameters are reported for one sample taken at the location of the deepest part of the lake by a van Dorn sampler from a depth of 1.5 m. These include: aluminum, alkalinity, acid neutralizing capacity, calcium, carbonate, color, specific conductance, dissolved inorganic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, bicarbonate, potassium, magnesium, ammonium, sodium, nitrate, total nitrogen, pH, total phosphorus, silica, total suspended solids, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a. Sampling was initiated July 1991 and ended September 1994.
EPA National Lake Assessment Survey Lower 48 States Lake Chemistry
EPA and its state and tribal partners conducted a survey of the nation's lakes, ponds and reservoirs (>10 acres, using NHD) in 2007. This National Lakes Assessment was designed to provide statistically valid regional and national estimates of the condition of lakes. It used a probability-based sampling design (5 size classes of lakes, 9 agglomerated Omernik ecoregions, and spatially distributed across the lower 48 US states) to represent the condition of all lakes in similar regions sharing similar ecological characteristics. Consistent sampling and analytical procedures ensured that the results could be compared across the country. The NLA helped build state and tribal capacity for monitoring and assessment and promoted collaboration across jurisdictional boundaries in the assessment of water quality. 1000 total lakes were included in the NLA (909 lakes visited once and 91 that were revisited), however, the dbase also includes additional lakes for any states that performed an ‘intensification’ in order to do a state-wide lake assessment. Finally, there are lakes that are designated as ‘reference’ lakes that were not chosen in the same probabilistic fashion, but were chosen state-by-state using a variety of methods. For more info on the lakes and survey design see: http://water.epa.gov/type/lakes/upload/2006_05_05_lakes_lakessurvey_site_selection_factsheet.pdf
Illinois EPA Ambient Lake Monitoring Program (ALMP): lake water chemistry from the Springfield laboratory, 2004-2006
The Illinois EPA’s Ambient Lake Monitoring Program (ALMP) was created in 1977 in cooperation with the IL Department of Conservation to assess trends in a select few IL public lakes. The Illinois EPA biologists work out of three Illinois EPA regional offices: Springfield, Marion, and Des Plaines and monitor lakes in their respective areas. Approximately fifty lakes are monitored annually and of those, twenty-five are termed “Core Lakes”. A total of 75 publicly-owned lakes were chosen throughout the state of Illinois as Core Lakes. Previously these lakes were monitored every three years in order to establish a long-term monitoring trends database. In 2008 these lakes and select others were monitored on a five year rotational basis. All lakes are monitored five times yearly; once during the spring runoff and turnover period (April or May), three times during the summer (June, July, August), and once during the fall turnover period (October). Depending on the size of the lake, usually three lake sites are monitored. Monitoring includes collection of water quality and sediment samples as well as, field observation data/measurements such as Secchi disk transparency readings, dissolved oxygen, temperature, quantity of algae, macrophytes, and other key aspects of the lake and sampling event. Water quality samples are collected from one foot below the surface at all sites and two feet above the bottom at only the deepest site. These samples are routinely analyzed for suspended solids, nutrients, and chlorophyll. Additional parameters may be added for a designated period of time at select lakes based on changing data needs.

Nutrient dataset includes Chlorophyll a, Inorganic nitrogen, total phosphorus, Kjeldahl nitrogen, total nitrogen, and turbidity. Dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity are included in the profile dataset.
Northeast temporal lake water chemistry data compiled from four federally funded programs: RLTM, TIME, HELM, ALPS, 1982-2010
These chemistry data were collected from Maine and Northeast lakes that are part of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s ongoing Regionalized Long-term Monitoring Program (RLTM), begun in 1982; Temporally Integrated Monitoring of Ecosystems (TIME) program that began in 1999; High Elevation Lake Monitoring (HELM); and completed Aquifer Lakes Project (ALPS). The EPA’s RLTM project began in 1982, expanded to include 16 lakes in 1993, and is ongoing as of 2003. The continuous record of chemical data provides information for regional acid rain assessments. Sampling is done in the spring, summer (stratified conditions, both hypolimnion and epilimnion samples are taken), and fall, just at lake overturn. Companion data for lake inlet and outlet streams have been collected. The TIME project includes lakes across New England and New York to examine changes and trends in aquatic chemistry over time. All samples collected before 1999 in the TIME dataset are from a University of Maine EMAP follow-up study. The ALPS program sampled seepage lakes (no surface inlets) with mapped sand and gravel aquifers that are strongly influenced by precipitation chemistry. The survey was done by the University of Maine in 1986-1987, and 1998-2002, and involved the sampling of 128 lakes. The University of Maine’s HELM project was designed to complement the 1984 Eastern Lakes Survey (ELS) by sampling lakes at an elevation of greater than 600m that had been omitted due to size restrictions. The objective was to highlight lakes that are more susceptible to the effects of acid deposition because they receive higher amounts of precipitation, and their watersheds are less able to neutralize acidic inputs because of steep slopes, shallow soils, and resistant bedrock. In 1986-87 all 90 lakes in Maine at an elevation of 600 meters or higher were sampled. A subset of the original 90 lakes has been sampled since 1997 for logistical and financial reasons. The HELM data set contains chemical data for a

Four sites were sampled regularly (additional secondary sites visited by Halfman are not included in this spreadsheet). Sampling occured approximately weekly between April and Novemeber each year. Detailed vertical profiles usign CTD casts were also done but not included in this dataset.
Unpublished data, Massachusetts Department of Environment Protection, lake water chemistry data, 1995-2004
This database contains anion, nutrient, and secchi data collected by MA DEP for assessment of water quality in MA lakes. Data spans 1995-2004. The ultimate goal of the MassDEP is to implement a comprehensive monitoring program (status/assessment, trends and flows, and targeted) that serves all water quality management needs, and addresses streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal areas, wetlands, and groundwater. The five-year rotating watershed assessment program is currently the primary means of meeting the CWA objective related to assessing the status of designated uses. Requirements for the monitoring program designed to support watershed assessments, reflecting CWA mandates, are that it be statewide in scale, comprehensive (all water bodies in the Commonwealth are assessed), and repeated at regular intervals. Water quality surveys generally consist of five sampling events interspersed throughout the water recreation season for conventional water quality analyses such as pH, dissolved oxygen, suspended and total dissolved solids, nutrients, and fecal coliform bacteria.

Lake Wallenpaupack Water Quality Evaluation, PA: water chemistry, 1980-2012
PPL Corporation created Lake Wallenpaupack in 1926 and uses water from the lake to generate hydroelectric power… The Lake Wallenpaupack Watershed Management District (LWWMD) was established in 1979 to preserve and protect the water quality of Lake Wallenpaupack. The LWWMD Board of Directors consists of representatives of the business community, local government, and PPL Corporation. PPL Corporation has funded a yearly water quality monitoring program for Lake Wallenpaupack since the early 1980s. …The water quality of Lake Wallenpaupack has been monitored on a yearly basis from 1980 through the present. In general, the water quality of Lake Wallenpaupack has improved since 1980. Over the past several years, total phosphorus levels in the lake have been stable and consistently lower (better) than 1980 total phosphorus levels. Chlorophyll a and transparency levels were also better than the 1980 levels for many years. However, chlorophyll a have been increasing in recent years, to a peak in 2002, while transparency has been decreasing (becoming less favorable). The main water quality parameters that were evaluated as part of this study include dissolved oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorophyll a, transparency, pH, alkalinity, phytoplankton, and zooplankton
