With <br />reading, there will be a <br />sta collection. <br />Mr. Brough noted the LRRWMO requested readings be taken from <br />Rogers, Itasca, and Sunfish Lakes in the past. Round Lake is <br />now identified as in the Lower Rum River Watershed. Mr. <br />Brough noted with the Waste Management sanitary landfill <br />adjacent to Sunfish Lake, the LRRWMO may not wish to <br />duplicate the monitoring activities of the Minnesota Pollu- <br />tion Control Agency (PCA). <br />Schrantz concurred the LRRWMO could get the data on Sunfish <br />Lake from the (PCA). <br />It was noted this will be the fourth and last year the Lake <br />Monitoring Program for the collection of hydrological data on <br />these lakes will be done. <br />The board and Mr. Brough discussed the possibility of setting <br />up a collection system on Lake Itasca in that it is fairly <br />weedy. Mr. Brough stated if he is unable to establish a <br />volunteer monitor for that lake it probably will not be done <br />because the SWCD does not have a boat. <br />Schrantz recommended the LRRWMO participate in the Lake <br />Monitoring Program for Rogers, Round and Itasca Lakes, if <br />possible, noting that the Minnesota PCA will be monitoring <br />Sunfish Lake. <br />Motion was made by Schrantz, seconded by Weaver, to AUTHORIZE <br />THE EXPENDITURE OF $200.00 EACH FOR THE ANOKA COUNTY SOIL AND <br />WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT'S LAKE MONITORING PROGRAM FOR <br />ROGERS, ROUND, AND, IF POSSIBLE, ITASCA LAKES, INCLUDING <br />$35.00 PER LAKE FOR SEECHI DISK READINGS WHEREVER POSSIBLE ON <br />SAID THREE LAKES. <br />Mr. Brough stated he will visually check these lakes and <br />determine if it is possible to do seechi disk readings. <br />Upon general discussion of the program by the board, Schrantz <br />stated the data collected from the lake monitoring and the <br />secchi disk readings will provide the LRRWMO with information <br />relative to water quality. Mr. Brough went into some detail <br />
