Excerpt from Water Resources Program: Surface Water Quality; Monitoring and Evaluation Five High Visitor Use Areas 1994

The spring run-off of 1995 was higher than average, and higher than the previous years of this study. This was reflected in this year's results. The bacterial levels of contamination at the test locations were much lower, although a high bacterial count of 240 was found at the midpoint test site of Dog Lake during the August 7, 1995 sampling. The National Environmental Health Association standard for fecal streptococcus for recreational waters is 100 colonies per 100 ml sample. In 1994 three lakes, Dog, Lower Cathedral, and Lower Young Lakes, did not meet these standards. Therefore, the results of this ongoing water quality monitoring project requires that wilderness users be notified to continue to treat all water before drinking. No elevated levels of fecal coliform were observed during the summer of 1995, nor were there any significant signs of nitrates or phosphates.

Recommended management actions for protecting water quality and safeguarding human health and safety include: continuing educational efforts; enforcing water quality protection statutes; planning facilities to accommodate future use levels; and possibly controlling visitor use limits.
