MAY 12, 2005 Moose Lake State of the Watershed Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Moose Lake is a popular recreational lake in M.D. of Bonnyville of central Alberta. Permanent residents, seasonal residents and daily users have long been concerned about the environmental quality of Moose Lake. Early documented concerns included algal blooms, weed growth, boating speeds, boating noise, polluted water, poor fishing, excessive crowds and excessive development. These concerns led to the development of a Municipal Area Structure Plan by 1980 that was updated in 1985. These plans focused primarily on residential land development but there was consideration for agricultural land development and the lake environment. The purpose of this report is to summarize and document all of the current environmental information for Moose Lake and the watershed. This is an initial step required for the development of the Moose Lake Watershed Management Plan. The development of this plan is led by the Moose Lake Water for Life committee but is guided by the Alberta Environment document Framework for Water Management Planning. There was a large resource of reports and experts consulted during the preparation of this report.

  • State of the Island Lake Watershed

    State of the Island Lake Watershed

    State of the Island Lake Watershed October 2011 Prepared by Matt Carlson, ALCES Group Prepared for Baptiste, Island, and Skeleton Lakes Watershed Management and Lake Stewardship Council State of the Island Lake Watershed EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To help ensure the health of their lake environments, residents of the summer villages at Island, Baptiste, and Skeleton Lakes have formed the Baptiste, Island, and Skeleton Lakes Watershed Management and Lake Stewardship Council (BISL). BISL’s vision for Island Lake is to “maintain a healthy lake and watershed, recognizing the importance of living within the capacity of the natural environment and providing sustainable recreational, residential, agricultural, and industrial benefits”. This State of the Watershed report contributes to achieving the vision by describing the current condition of Island Lake and its watershed and assessing strategies to improve their health. The following four indicators of the health of Island Lake are assessed: water quality, fisheries, shoreline condition, and water level. In addition, land cover is evaluated due to the watershed’s influence on the lake’s health. Each indicator’s status and management options are assessed, and management and research priorities are recommended for improving the health of Island Lake. Due to limited information availability for some indicators and stressors, the assessment should be interpreted as approximate. WATER QUALITY Previous assessments of the lake’s water quality have not identified significant issues. Of greatest concern are nutrient concentrations due to the potential for algal blooms, which can degrade aquatic habitat and recreational value. Island Lake does not experience algal blooms to the extent of neighbouring Baptiste Lake; total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a data collected from Island Lake indicate that the lake is in a mesotrophic state and presents a low health risk due to blue-green algae.

    Lake Stewardship Reference Guide

    Association of Summer Villages of Alberta Association of Summer Villages of Alberta Lake Stewardship ReferenceReference GuideGuide Association of Summer Villages of Alberta 2006 Edition Acknowledgements The Association of Summer Villages of Alberta (ASVA), representing Alberta’s Summer Village municipalities, was formed in 1977. The ASVA advocates on common Summer Village issues, proposes solutions, and provides education for Summer Village Councils. The ASVA has long maintained that every Summer Village is dealing with lake stewardship issues today, and will continue to deal with them in the future. Through this Lake Stewardship Reference Guide, the ASVA has taken a leadership role in the stewardship of our lakes in partnership with other provincial government departments, organizations, and agencies. The Lake Stewardship Reference Guide was prepared through the ASVA Lake Stewardship Steering Committee. Members of this Lake Stewardship Steering Committee include: Bruce McIntosh, Chair, Summer Village of Island Lake Susan Evans-Dzus, Summer Villages of Seba Beach and Lakeview Art Lamoureux, Summer Village of White Sands Bob Lindsay, Summer Village of Sunset Beach Lori Jeffery-Heaney, Summer Village of Val Quentin, Alberta Urban Municipalities Association Director of Summer Villages Jim Sandmaier, Summer Village of Island Lake South Peter Wright, Summer Village of Sunrise Beach Special thanks to the following individuals who participated in preparing this Reference Guide: Gerry Haekel, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development Shelleen Lakusta, Alberta Environment Christine Lazaruk, Alberta Urban Municipalities Association, Alberta Environment Terry Sly, Alberta Environment Bruce Thom, Alberta Urban Municipalities Association Island Lake (front cover) photo credit: Jim Sandmaier Contributing authors and editors: Pat Valastin and Lori Jeffery-Heaney Design and graphic layout services: Pat Valastin and Hound’s Tooth Communications Ltd.
