<br />soils, and there are no surface inflowing streams, the lake <br />has potential protection for the future. <br /> <br />The idea that future phosphorus loads to the lake from <br />surface sources will decrease is a possibility. In the <br />past, a large portion of this watershed (approximately see <br />acres) has been agricultural. Farming practices in the past <br />included row crops and non-row crops. Row crops have been <br />planted very close to the lake (less than se feet) and <br />fertilization has been used. In the future, large <br />residential lots combined with open grassy areas may yield <br />less phosphorus in surface runoff compared to the existing <br />agricultural acreage with row crops grown close to the edge <br />of the lake. Future conditions in the lake will be related <br />to the effectiveness of stormwater runoff measures and <br />whether the proposed se acre pond is constructed on the west <br />side of Lake Itasca. <br /> <br />I <br />l <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />I <br />l. <br /> <br />-65- <br /> <br />
