  • Cedar Lake, Alcona County, MI
    In the summer of 2005, K&A completed the first phase of a three-phased effort to identify the causes of significant water level losses in summer months in this 1,075 acre, 5-foot deep lake. Phase I project findings (see Phase I final report) revealed that 75% of the lake shoreline was losing water. Storm sewers directing runoff away from the lake and high volume groundwater withdrawals were the other significant causes of the >2 foot annual water level drop. Phase II will involve more detailed lake level monitoring and groundwater modeling. These efforts are being coupled with the development of a watershed management plan.
