SUMMARY OF VOLUNTEER SURVEY There was no survey response for 1994. FIELD OBSERVATIONS OF ECOLOGY STAFF There were no field observations recorded for SUNDAY (SNOHOMISH) in 1994
TROPHIC STATUS Estimated Trophic State: Not Available Mean Trophic State Index (Secchi): 0 (Not assessed) Mean Trophic State Index (Total Phosphorus): 55 (Eutrophic) Mean Trophic State Index (Chlorophyll a): 71J* (Eutrophic) *The calculated TSI is an estimate. The Secchi disk hit bottom (B), entered the weeds (W), or there were too few valid readings (N), or the calculation was based on qualified data (J), or TSIP was based on spring data (S).
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF TROPHIC STATE ASSESSMENT No summary analysis was performed for SUNDAY (SNOHOMISH) in 1994
