    Byng Inlet Water Quality Characterization – 2014-2016 1/10/2017 Prepared for: Magnetawan First Nation Clark 13 Aubrey St., Bracebridge, ON P1L 1M1 705 645 2967 1/10/2017 Anthony LaForge Director of Lands and Resources Magnetawan First Nation 10 Highway 529, Britt, ON P0G 1A0 Dear Mr. LaForge, I am pleased to submit this report which summarizes the water quality monitoring that was conducted on Byng Inlet from 2014 to 2016. This report summarizes the findings of the three-year project. An examination of measured runoff depths and mean Magnetawan P concentrations indicate export coefficients typical of forested watersheds. This means that the Magnetawan River is behaving like a natural river with respect to phosphorus concentrations. Watershed inputs to Byng Inlet from the Magnetawan River are therefore not a concern with respect to phosphorus at this time. These results indicate that although the water quality with respect to nutrients is excellent there are sources of nutrients within the Inlet that contribute to phosphorus loading but these are difficult to assess due to the large volume of dilution water contributed by the Magnetawan River. There has been an effort here to identify the potential sources of phosphorus to Byng Inlet but no effort has been made to quantify the loads from these sources. Variations in the phosphorus concentrations both seasonally and between sample stations tend to vary between years but it should be noted that the magnitude of the variation in P concentrations is slight. In addition, the measured concentrations of total phosphorus indicate excellent water quality relative to Provincial Water Quality Objectives.
