Seymour Lake: 1984 Data Summary and Recommendation

The 1984 sampling program for Seymour Lake was designed to provide nutrient loading data for the lake such that a management prescription for the lake and watershed management guidelines could be proposed. Water quality sampling of the lake showed that phosphorus was being released from the sediments in high concentrations during anoxic periods with negative oxidation reduction potentials (ORP). This internal recycling of phosphorus was the principal source of phosphorus in the lake.
