March Sampling Report Three Lakes Lake Bellaire Project

Abstract

It had been planned to sample Lake Bellaire under winter ice cover late in the season to determine what levels of dissolved oxygen might be found at depth. Due to the extremely warm winter parts of the lake near Station B-2 never formed a suitable ice layer and the ice was not thick enough to safely support a snowmobile and sampling gear as expected. Therefore, a sampling trip was made as soon as the ice broke up.
