3 Lake Pollution Can Lead To..

4 Sources of Pollution Point Sources Nutrients Sediment Salts Bacteria Other Oils and Greases

5 Sources of Pollution Nonpoint Sources Nutrients Sediment Salts Bacteria Oils and Greases Other

6 How do we Assess Lake Health? Take water samples Nutrients Bacteria Sediment Dissolved Oxygen Other Conduct habitat assessments Other parameters

7 New Hampshire Water Quality Standards Swimming? What do you want to use the waterbody for? Fishing? Boating? Bacteria Other Class or Level of Protection? Freshwater (AA, A, B, C) Pollutant? How much is safe? Nutrients Salt Concentration in water

8 Lake Winnipesaukee Water Quality Overall, good water quality However Beach advisories/closures (due to bacteria) Increased phosphorus loading Increased spread of milfoil Increased algal blooms Decline in loon and fish population

9 How do we Track Pollutant Sources?

10 Sampling Routine Sampling Outfall/Inlet Sampling Bracket Sampling Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Low High High

11 Mapping and Field Reconnaissance

12 Mapping (Risk Potential)

13 Computer Modeling Loads to Lake Wentworth P (kg/year) P (percent) Water (m 3 /year) Water (percent) Atmospheric % 7,664,541 14% Internal 0 0% n/a n/a Waterfowl 20 2% n/a n/a Septic System 79 9% 67,009 >0.2% Watershed Load % 46,728,516 86% Total Load To Lake Wentworth % 54,460, %
