Through the use of our phosphorus model, we project that the proposed development of 200 non-shoreline lots and 45 shoreline lots may have a small effect on overall lake chemistry.  However, this is not the entire story. If you take a look at this areal photograph, here is large water input from Great Pond (POINT) and here is the southern outlet (POINT) There may not be complete mixing with the rest of the lake.  If so, the northern lake arms would exhibit a different turnover rate.
 They may be more dependent on sediment and surrounding land-use patterns for their water chemistry and specifically much more prone to nutrient loading from increased development.  Further study on the mixing patterns of LPN is necessary.
Alex will now summarize our findings and provide some recommendations.
