96 <br />Lambert Creek Monitoring Details <br />Samples are collected by VLAWMO staff at 5 sites along Lambert Creek on a weekly basis May through September as <br />well as after significant storm events (at least 0.5 inches). The five sites noted in charts and graphs as: Goose Lk <br />Station, Whittaker Pond, Oakmeade, County Rd F, and Kohler Rd. The samples are analyzed at the Ramsey County <br />Lab for TP, SRP, TKN, NH3, NO3, TSS, and VSS. There are flumes at Goose Lake, Oakmeade, County Rd F and <br />Kohler Rd which have data loggers that collect flow and nutrient information throughout the season. The flumes at <br />Oakmeade and Kohler Rd were replaced this winter due to the deterioration of 20 year old materials, as well as a <br />redesign and construction of a stormwater pond which outlets into Lambert Creek. Plans are to replace the flume at <br />County Rd F in 2008. In addition, a large water quality improvement project in 2004 east of the County Rd F flume <br />where an area was dredged out and a structure put in to create "Lambert Lake" which, according to the plans, will <br />reduce the amount of nutrients reaching further downstream and into Vadnais Lake. <br />SPRWS monitors Lambert Creek as well since it outlets directly into Vadnais Lake. SPRWS manages the data loggers <br />along the creek to collect flow data and nutrient data. VLAWMO will be trained on the retrieval and utilisation of this <br />data in 2008. SPRWS also collect samples for E. coli testing at the five sites along the creek. <br />Figure 4 Lambert Creek Monitoring Sites <br />Vadnais <br />Heights <br />Kohler Rd <br />County Rd F <br />I I Whittaker Pond <br />I <br />I <br />Oakmeade <br />Gem <br />Gem <br />Lake <br />Goose LS <br />Station <br />Goose <br />
