Nest and Diamond Lake Subwatershed Assessment and Internal Load Control
The Nest and Diamond Lake Subwatershed Assessment and Internal Load Control project proposes to identify detailed approaches to address internal loading in both Nest and Diamond lakes and to identify field-level BMPs upstream of Nest Lake. These activities will be conducted as a part of efforts to get both lakes to meet water quality standards.

(c) $3,325,000 the first year and $4,275,000 the second year are for accelerated implementation, including local resource protection and enhancement grants and statewide program enhancements of supplements for technical assistance, citizen and community outreach, compliance, and training and certification.
The Nest and Diamond Lake Subwatershed Assessment and Internal Load Control project proposes to identify detailed approaches to address internal loading in both lakes to reduce the internal loading after a detailed analysis.
Work was completed as per the approved work plan, and this included performing a local small scale analysis around Nest and Diamond Lakes to identify potential project locations to reduce the pollutant loading. In addition, there was an analysis of the sediment and pollutant cycling within the lake to develop feasibility options for in lake treatments such as the application of alum to lock sediment and phosphorous to the bottom of the lake. The outcome of the project was a subwatershed assessment document that identified potential locations for projects and an assessment of in lake treatment options.
