Golden Lake Description
• Shallow Lakeo 57.2 acres; max depth=24 ft; mean
depth= 8fto 90% littoral (<15ft)
• Lakeshore is well developed• Class 2B: supports aquatic and recreation uses
o warm & cool fisheries, swimming, non-motorized boating
• Naturally brown tinted water due to tannin

303d: Impaired Water
• 1st listed in 2002 as an impaired water o Aquatic recreation standards not met due to
excess nutrients/eutrophication • Targeted start/completion years: 2004/2008
(September 30,2009)• 5C – Impaired by one pollutant and no TMDL study
plan is approved by EPA

Pollution Reduction Plans
Reductions designed to meet W.Q. standards from June-Sept. (growing season)
![Page 16: Golden Lake TMDL Critique Mayank Gupta & Karla Bussen](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e155503460f94aff8f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Implementation Plan Reduce total Phosphorous load in the watershed
and improve in-lake water clarity.

How will this be achieved?
• Regulationo management rules
• Education o storm water article in city paper each montho full-time environmental education coordinatoro Public Advisory Commitee
• Incentiveso BMPs, shoreline restoration, native landscaping,
lakeshore buffers
