The full document can be found by using the NYSFOLA website CSLAP report search feature here:  https://nysfola.org/cslap-report-search/ . Parameters outlined in the report include temperature, transparency, conductivity, pH, color, phosphorus levels, nitrogen levels, and chlorophyll a measurements. Conclusions drawn from the above mentioned report include the following: The above table shows the results of Moon Lake's CSLAP testing, along with the parameters for classifying lakes as eutrophic, mesotrophic, and oligotrophic . Moon Lake is a eutrophic lake. This means that the lake is highly productive and the water contains high concentrations of minerals and nutrients, such a...
