Burton Lake outlet Total Phosphorus

Monitoring was started at this site in 2005. 2011 appears to be a typical year for phosphorus loading at this site. The peak is in mid summer corresponding with peak of the growing season.

The total phosphorus concentration at this sample site is relatively low because it is an outlet from a lake. The phosphorus in the lake is diluted as opposed to a stream that picks up erosion and runoff along it's banks.
