CLMP Annual Reports
The CLMP Annual Reports on the Transparency of Minnesota Lakes contain statewide summarized information on lake water transparency data collected through CLMP. Reports have been published since 1973. Please contact us at clmp.pca@state.mn.us if you’d like to receive an earlier year’s report.
CLMP+ Reports
The advanced Citizen Lake Monitoring Program (CLMP+) expands the basic CLMP to include additional monitoring parameters for lakes where no advanced monitoring program exists. Reports detailing water quality data for each lake monitored through the CLMP+ are written upon completion of the monitoring season. Some CLMP+ reports are for single lakes, but many are for groups of lakes within a county. A list of CLMP+ reports can be found on the Lake Water Quality Assessment page.
