TESTING RESULTS
Beginning in the spring of 2010, the
PACRS worked with several local, state,
and federal partners - the Adams County
Land & Water Conservation Department,
the Wisconsin Bureau of Environmental
and Occupational Health, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, and the
National Oceanic and Atmosheric
Administration - to monitor the water
quality of Petenwell and Castle Rock
Lakes. By gathering baseline data
on phosphorus concentrations, water
clarity, and temperature, we are taking
critical steps toward assessing water
quality and ultimately improving the
health of the lakes. In addition
to the water sampling efforts, we also
contributed to better understanding the
public health impacts of blue
green-algae by sampling lake water and
examining it via microscope for five
ptentially toxic blue-green algae
species.
In 2010 alone, 18 different PACRS volunteers
contributed to this effort, putting in 343.5 hours! If you would like to
join us in this monitoring effort, please contact us–it's easy, and it's
fun!
