• In recent years there has been an increase in documented toxic blue-green algae blooms occurring in lakes within Washington State.
• There appears to have been an increasing occurrence of late winter/early spring algae blooms in Ward Lake
• Lake may be shifting from dominance by green algae to blue-green
• This year was a game changer

Three Areas of Interest
Stormwater (Upland) Bacteria (Shoreline and Lake Bed) Phosphorus and Algae Blooms
Water Quality Impacts
![Page 20: Public Input Workshop #2](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56812b84550346895d8fa2b0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Stormwater Primary concern is stormwater from
roadways and parking lots All stormwater will be treated through
infiltration (e.g., porous pavement and filtration strips), THE best technique for removal of pollutants
![Page 21: Public Input Workshop #2](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56812b84550346895d8fa2b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stormwater No stormwater from the upland area will
drain toward Ward Lake Stormwater from the pedestrian trail will
be treated and detained at predevelopment rates and be discharged toward the lake
![Page 22: Public Input Workshop #2](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56812b84550346895d8fa2b0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Based on King County’s monitoring of swimming beaches, no bacteria problems are expected
Bacteria
![Page 23: Public Input Workshop #2](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56812b84550346895d8fa2b0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phosphorus and Algae Blooms Phosphorus (P) is typically the key ingredient in
promoting algae blooms in lakes; although not necessarily the case for toxic blooms
P input from the site will be controlled through better vegetation management in the upland area and through use of artificial turf at the shore
Less P should be exported than under typical residential development
Infiltration and movement through the ground is very effective for P removal
The park is not expected to result in increased P or lead to more or extended algae blooms
![Page 24: Public Input Workshop #2](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56812b84550346895d8fa2b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stocked with rainbow trout and kokanee (WDFW) Cutthroat trout, largemouth bass, bullhead, yellow perch Nuttall’s waterweed Three State Priority Habitats:
Riparian habitat Freshwater wetlands and deepwater Snags and logs
No priority species or
features in upland area
Fish Species, Rare Plants, Priority Habitats
