| Description | Beginning in 1998, the Washington State Department of Ecology began a new approach to assessing lake water quality. Traditionally, lake monitoring focused on long-term trends in water clarity and general lake assessments. Although trend data are crucial in documenting declining or improving water quality, they provide very little information as to whether or not beneficial uses of a lake are impaired. This new approach is an attempt to evaluate the condition of the beneficial uses on certain lakes throughout the state and to recommend lake-specific nutrient criteria for those lakes in order to protect or restore their uses. |
