| Short Description |
Lake Tapps, in Pierce County, was monitored from July 2004 through June 2005 to document current conditions at four lake stations and three tributary stations over the course of a year. Results are compiled, evaluated for quality, and summarized in this report. Nutrient concentrations indicate that Lake Tapps is nutrient poor and should contain little algae (oligotrophic). Other indicators, such as chlorophyll concentrations and hypolimnetic oxygen depletion, were indicative of oligotrophic to slighty mesotrophic (moderately productive) conditions (Also see abstract below) | |||

| Abstract | Long Description |
Lake Tapps is located in Pierce County, Washington, near the town of Bonney Lake. Basic water quality data have been collected during several earlier studies on Lake Tapps. However, except for Secchi depths collected during the Department of Ecology's 1997-2000 Lake Monitoring Program, earlier studies were limited, with samples collected only one or two times a year at a maximum of two locations. The purpose of this July 2004 - June 2005 monitoring was to document current conditions at four lake stations and at three tributary stations over the course of a year. Results are compiled, evaluated for quality, and summarized in this report. The nutrient concentration evaluation classifies Lake Tapps as oligotrophic; however, other indicators, such as chlorophyll concentrations and hypolimnetic oxygen depletion, were more typical of mesotrophic lakes. |
