Periphyton production in the near shore areas of Lake Pend 

 Oreille was investigated during the summer of 1985. The study 

 is helpful to identify areas of localized high productivity. 



FUTURE ACTIVITIES ; A Clean Lakes Phase I proposal has been sub- 

 mitted to the EPA. A primary objective of the investigation 

 is to identify alternatives for reducing nutrient loads to the 

 lake. It is anticipated that this investigation can be linked 

 with the comprehensive evaluation of pollution problems in Lake 

 Pend Oreille as required by the 1987 amendments to the Clean 

 Water Act. 



A comprehensive evaluation of nutrient sources and the trop- 

 hic status of Lake Pend Oreille has been required by the Clean 

 Water Act of 1987. The funding and extent of this program is 

 to be determined.
