A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

McGinn, M. 2004. Cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae) Monitoring Plan for Vancouver Lake.

This project plan follows the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines, Chorus and Bartram, 1999 for managing bathing waters which may produce cyanobacterial cells and/or toxins. Slight modifications were made to account for project specifics or constraints.

Currently there are no state regulations specifically written for swimming beach safety. However, Clark County Health Department is the local health jurisdiction assigned responsibility to protect public health and therefore necessitates that swimming areas be monitored to ensure the safety of the public.

Due to financial constraints, this sampling has been difficult to accomplish.

Specific objectives of the program include:

• Collect samples and have a laboratory determine the type and concentration of cyanobacteria in water samples taken from the swimming beach.
• Determine water temperature, turbidity, conductivity and dissolved oxygen of a sample taken from the beach.
• Compare the results with the WHO guidelines for swimming areas.
• Notify all interested parties of the results.
