Introduction <br />The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) covers approximately 25 square miles in the <br />northeast metropolitan area. The watershed encompasses the City of North Oaks and portions of the Cities of White <br />Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Vadnais Heights, Lino Lakes, and White Bear Township. The watershed is 96% urbanized; <br />agricultural land exists in the northern end of the boundaries. New land development is occurring near Gem Lake <br />and Wilkinson Lake. Data collected through this program tracks changes in water quality in conjunction with the <br />change in land use around these water bodies. <br />VLAWMO works in conjunction with the St. Paul Regional Water Service (SPRWS) on water quality monitoring. <br />The SPRWS monitors the direct surface water flow into Vadnais Lake to assure high quality drinking water for over <br />400,000 consumers. The SPRWS monitors the main chain of lakes (Charley Lake, Pleasant Lake, Sucker Lake and <br />Vadnais Lake) and portions of Lambert Creek. <br />Figure 1 Map of VLAWMO <br />SPRWS Chain <br />of Lake <br />rij <br />Amelia; <br />Lino <br />Lakes -- <br />.Wilkinson <br />White ear <br />Charley Twsp <br />__Pleasant <br />Deep, <br />North <br />Oaks <br />Sucker, <br />Vadnais <br />Gilfillan <br />Vadnais <br />Heights1 <br />Tamarack <br />White Bear <br />Lake <br />Birch <br />96 <br />Lambert <br />Creek N <br />Gem <br />Gem - Lake <br />Goose <br />
