Goose Lake West <br />This is the second year of sample collection for Goose Lake West. I have not included a graph for the historical data <br />as there is only 2 years worth of information and would not represent well in graph form. <br />Cooling water from the Kohler plant enters Goose Lake West year round at a rate of 500 gallons/minute. How this <br />water affects the chemistry of the lake is not completely understood but since Goose Lake will likely be included in <br />the TMDL study in conjunction with Lambert Creek, more information will be gathered and analyzed. Since the <br />water is circulated continually, the higher nutrient levels in the lake most likely come from the sediment. Again, as the <br />TMDL study is conducted, sediment analysis will be an integral part of the research. <br />A sample collected from the west side of Goose Lake on 6/12/2007 was tested for E.coli and the result was 14.5 <br />CFU/100mL. This is well below the daily limit of 1260 CFU/100mL. <br />
