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.
