We gathered information about commercial land use in the China Lake watershed through our road surveys and interview with town representatives.  Commercial and municipal properties have the potential to increase phosphorus loading because of their high proportion of impervious surfaces.
	Farming and forestry are large industries in the community and need to be conducted in a sustainable manner as pesticides and clear cut areas contribute to nutrient loading.
	The China Primary and Middle School are located very close to China Lake and maybe a large contributor to phosphorus loading in the municipal sector because of concentrated septic system usage.
	There are five gas stations in the watershed.  In the past, one of these stations had underground storage tanks that leaked and contaminated soil.
	Several smaller issues in the watershed are a salt and sand storage area which was previously uncovered, a landfill which was capped and continues to be monitored by the DEP and seasonal eateries which contribute to concentrated septic system usage in the summer.
