•Phosphorus loading may be a greater problem in Oaks
Pond
•Longer recovery time of Lake George
Trend of O2 depletion in
hypolimnion of both lakes which may be problematic for fisheries and creates
conditions for the internal recycling of phosphorus
Phosphorus loading is likely
to be greater problem in Oaks Pond because of the high degree of development
along its shore therefore extra precaution is necessary to maintain water
quality
Lake George w/ lower
flushing rate is more ecologically ffragile and more susceptible to nutrient
inputs than Oaks Pond and benefits from the presence of the park in limiting
shoreline development
