Assessment
Assessments based on habitat indexes developed by EPA’s National Lake Assessment program.
Comparison of the average habitat characteristics of sites around MILLER with the average habitat characteritics at undeveloped and developed sites at other lakes in the state.
Disturbance components that make up the Lakeshore Disturbance score. ‘1.0’ indicates disturbance occurs in the immediate shoreline plot. ‘0.5’ indicates the disturbance occurs in an area proximal to, but not within, the immediate shoreline plot.

Comments: Put lat long where took water samples in below table. The inlet flows through the wetland, there was no place from the lake to sample that is the true inlet, went upstream where small footbridge crossed the inlet to sample. Theer is a barn wwith sillage dumped towad the wetland nor of site A, wehre lots of Elodea nuttali was growing. What took photos of as the ‘mouth’ of the inlet had coordinates of 43.89598, 72.30639
