Footnote:
The Hauser Lake Phase I Diagnostic and Feasibility Analysis
released in February, 1990, was the first EPA approved Phase I
baseline study in north Idaho. Based on data, analysis and
recommendations from this effort and subsequent public
involvement, a basin-specific lake management plan (Hauser Lake
Management Plan) was developed by the Idaho Clean Lakes
Coordinating Council.
This plan was
published in 1994 by The Clean Lakes Coordinating Council (CLCC)
and was based on data obtained from 1988-1999, by the Phase I
Diagnostic and Feasibility Analysis completed by Entranco
Engineers Incorporated.
