Goose Lake <br />Goose Lake is located in White Bear Lake and is 145 acres with a maximum depth of 6 feet. The land use is largely <br />residential and industrial around the lake and Highway 61 cuts through the lake. The old White Bear Lake sewage <br />treatment plant discharged to Goose Lake for almost 50 years. A sediment study conducted in 1989 found that there <br />was PCB contamination as well as high levels of cadmium, lead, and zinc. Another sediment study should be <br />conducted to look for any changes in the last 20 years. <br />Though the lake is connected via culverts under the highway, VLAWMO began to assess the lake on each side of the <br />road to track any differences between the two water bodies. In years past, only the east side of the lake was <br />monitored. In 2006, VLAWMO began to collect samples from the west side. Thus, the report now has two <br />designations of Goose Lake East and Goose Lake West with separate data. <br />
