DEEP Lakes Grant Program water quality assessment, CT, 1937-2006

“The water quality of lakes in Connecticut has historically been assessed by the CTDEP using best professional judgment as a follow-up to citizen complaints. The CTDEP possesses a number of lake technical studies (dredging feasibility studies, drainage studies, and diagnostic/feasibility studies) that were completed by local municipalities and lake associations using funding provided through the Connecticut Lakes Grant Program. Many of these reports contain data regarding lake water quality and limnological and watershed characteristics."
