1 Hubbard County Water Quality and You Celebrating 20 Years of Water Quality Testing in Hubbard County! A Collaborative Effort by: Citizen Volunteers Hubbard County Coalition of Lake Associations (HC COLA) & Hubbard County Soil and Water Conservation District (HC SWCD) & RMB Environmental Laboratories in Detroit Lakes
2 Julie Kingsley, HC SWCD Manager & Sharon Natzel, HC COLA President Together Determined the Outline for the Presentation for You Today! Helping to Highlight Water Quality & You Before and After the Presentation 3 Activities: Hubbard County Map Please Place A Heart On Your Favorite Lake / River Blue Heart Name Tag Write Your Name & Your Favorite Lake or River & Pin It On & Visit with Each Other About The Favorites Sample Drinking Water from the 3 Major Watersheds in Hubbard County: 1. Mississippi River Headwaters Watershed Jacob Brower Visitor Center Itasca State Park 2. Leech Lake River Watershed Laporte, MN - Downtown 3. Crow Wing River Watershed Long Lake Minor Watershed West Side of Lakeshore in Forest
3 What We Will Cover in the Presentation: Hubbard County Water Quality and You Measuring Fresh Water Availability Hubbard County SWCD Local Water Plan Projects How Many Lakes in Hubbard County 20 Years of Water Quality Monitoring Through Collaboration What Are The Lakes Communicating Through Trend Charts? What Actions Make A Difference To Water Quality? How Does Water Sampling Work? How Are The Results Classified? How Can Citizens Become Involved? What We Do on the Land and In Our Lives Can Improve or Impair Our Waters!
4 Measuring Fresh Water Availability 5 Gallon Bucket = All the Water on Earth Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, Wetlands, Groundwater, Ice Caps, Water Vapor & Water Held in Soil, and Water Held in Plants & Animals Remove 2 Cups = All the Fresh Water on Earth Remove ½ Cup from the 2 Cups Set Aside The 1-1/2 Cups = Polar Ice Caps which are Frozen & Unavailable What is Left in the Bucket is Saltwater The ½ Cup of Water That Was Set Aside = Groundwater, Lakes, Rivers, Wetlands and Water Vapor Using Eye Dropper, One Drop of That ½ Cup of Water Represents the Water Available for Us and Other Animals to Drink Let s Each of Us Take Care of The Fresh Water in Hubbard County!
5 The Total Amount of Water on the Planet is Not Going to Change. Even Though Water Moves Around on the Planet and Changes from One Kind to Another, We Will Never Have More Than We Have Right Now!

13 What Are Our Hubbard County Lakes Communicating Through Trend Charts? We ll Use Portage As Our Example Water Clarity Has Been Increasing Potentially Due To Treatment/ Management of Non-Native Aquatic Invasive Curley-Leaf Pondweed (AIS) and Required Septic Checks around 2009ish or so CLP produces dense mats at the water s surface and can interfere with recreational and other uses of the lakes. It dies off in mid-summer. CLP spreads to other lakes by fragments on boats. Prevent the Spread of AIS! Clean Drain Dry & Think Decon!
14 Portage: Secchi Disk Depth is Increasing. The Water Is Becoming Clearer & More Transparent Indicating Improving Water Quality
15 The Secchi Disk is lowered into the water on the shaded side of the boat until disk just disappears completely. Note depth. Do this Multiple Times following test protocol. Record.
16 Portage: Phosphorus is Decreasing. Phosphorus is a nutrient for plant growth. The more phosphorus, the more plants and algae there are in the lake. Phosphorus sources include human and animal wastes, soil erosion, detergents, septic systems, and runoff from fertilized lawns or farmland. Phosphorus can also come from fertilized sediment at the bottom of the lake.
17 The Integrated Sampler is Used To Go Down 2 Meters In the Water Column to Avoid Sampling Just The Top Surface of the Water. There is Test Protocol To Follow
18 Portage: Chlorophyll_a is Decreasing so Algae Concentration is Less. This pigment is what allows plants and algae to photosynthesize. If there is too much algae, it can produce a foul odor and be unpleasant for swimming. Algae growth depends on many factors including the availability of nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen and water temperature.
19 Large Labeled Amber Bottle is Provided by RMB Environmental Labs. The Integrated Sampler is Used to Fill the Bottle.
20 What Actions Make A Difference To Water Quality? Keep Leaves & Grass Clippings Out of the Street. They Can Carry Phosphorus Through Storm Sewers and into Lakes and Rivers. Limit Stormwater Runoff - Use Rain Gardens to Keep the Water on Land Limit Your Use of Lawn Fertilizers (0 Phosphorous) If You Live On a Lake or Stream, Grow a Buffer of Native Plants or Try No Mow for a Section of Shoreland Plant Deep-Rooted Grass, Trees, Shrubs in Bare Areas Put Trash in its Place & Recycle Dispose of Paint, Motor Oil, Household Chemicals Properly Regular Septic Maintenance Limit Your Use of Pesticides Don t Flush Old Medicines Down the Toilet SWCD Has Grant Programs for Streambank, Lakeshore, and Roadside Erosion, Shoreland Brochures, Tree Program, and much more!
21 How Does Water Sampling Work?
22 How Are The Results Classified? Lake Trophic States Used By Scientists to give Names to Lake Types. Lakes are Classified based on the Amount of Available Nutrients (Phosphorous and Nitrogen) for organisms. More Fertile Lakes Have More Nutrients and Therefore More Plants and Algae. Portage was considered Eutrophic in Today it is Mesotropic. Walleye fishing?
23 How Are The Results Classified? Portage Eutropic in 2012 Report
24 On Portage: Tropic State Index Declining Nutrients (Phosphorous & Nitrogen) are Decreasing
