would include not only standing crop estimates (e.g., pounds per acre), but data on the age structure. Aaency or Local Government Partnerina: The FWCC has begun some work to document fish populations in the Lake through creel surveys. It is the intent of the District to contract with the FWCC to conduct more extensive fisheries population studies. Project Title: Water and Sediment Quality Monitoring Summary: Water quality of Lake Panasofkee is considered good; this is attributed largely to dense stands of desirable aquatic plants and a large groundwater contribution. However, there is evidence of groundwater quality degradation, especially with respect to nutrients, and there are potential surface water quality impacts that may need further investigation. Generally, the major sources of water quality data for Lake PanasofFkee consist of data collected for special studies (Bays and Crisman 1981; CH2MHill 1995) and some data collected by the USGS at irregular frequencies. Nitrate concentrations in Big Jones Creek and Little Jones Creek increased during the time between the study conducted by Bays and Crisman (1981) and the study conducted by CH2MHill (1995). Additionally, the CH2MHill study (1995) documented copper concentrations in two Shady Brook water samples that exceeded the Class 111 water quality standard for that metal. The apparent trend in increasing nutrients and the incidence of copper in the Shady Brook water samples supports the need to perform periodic monitoring of the lake and its tributaries for these parameters. Additional parameters should be added, consistent with previous studies, to allow for comparative analysis of existing and historic conditions. 22
