Water Monitoring Data

A volunteer takes water samples from Ivy Falls Creek and the main tributary for lab analysis. The purpose is to identify stream reaches that contribute pollutants and establish baseline stream water quality conditions.

See water monitoring reports for more information.

Contact the LMRWMO Administrator for information on becoming a water quality monitor for a nearby lake or stream.

Projects

The LMRWMO has identified some erosion issues in Ivy Falls Creek and will perform a study to identify the extent of erosion issues in the watershed. This erosion study will likely occur in 2026-2028, depending on ability to secure grant funds to perform the study.
