| Here is a map of the lake
showing the area of the pond that is 6 meters or deeper and therefore could
experience anoxic conditions.
The lighter blue represents the area that could be anoxic during
summer stratification. This
area represents roughly 30% of the lake, and so there is clearly the
potential for a lot of internal loading of phosphorus. However, there is also the issue of
external loading of contaminants into the lake, which I will now talk about.
