Description The objectives of the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Lake Water Quality Assessment Program are to identify lakes that are exhibiting water quality problems, to assess significant, publicly-owned lakes by estimating the trophic status of monitored lakes, and to promote public awareness of lake ecology and protection.

In 1997, Ecology staff collected data from 70 lakes. Water samples were collected in May and August 1997 from both the epilimnion and the hypolimnion of stratified lakes except those Thurston County lakes where the Thurston County Environmental Health were monitoring water quality.

Samples were analyzed for total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll a.
