Lake Classification grants

Lake classification is a flexible lake management tool that counties may use to organize lakes into similar groups and tailor management approaches to meet the needs of lakes within each class. Traditionally, lake classification has been used primarily to set up different shoreland development standards for different classes of lakes, but it can also be used set up recreational use classes, and potentially AIS management. The lake classification process allows counties to gather data about their lakes’ physical features--such as lake type, size, watershed area, aquatic plant surveys, sensitivity to pollution and other development.
