“Sca scientific research program priest lake cvmp: sca is the only entity conducting annual water quality monitoring of priest lake and regional stream systems and reporting this information to idaho department of environmental quality (ideq), idaho department of lands (idl) and the kalispel tribe. Sca has been conducting water quality monitoring on priest lake in conjunction with idaho department of environmental quality's citizen voluntary monitoring program (cvmp) since 2008. Water samples are collected and submitted to laboratory (svl analytics, cda) for analysis for total nitrogen (tn), total phosphorus (tp) & chlorophyll-a. Profile measurements of water temp and dissolved oxygen are also conducted at 18 sites around priest lake from june- september (half of the sites per year). Priest lake tributary streams cvmp: sca has been collecting water quality monitoring data; air temperature, stream temperature & ph (beginning in 2018) and nutrients (beginning in 2020) data for tp & tn on 13 primary tributary streams feeding priest lake. Data collection and sampling activities occur from april-july at all 13 sites. Temperature data is collected continuously throughout the year with "tidbit" temperature gauges that are fixed in streams being monitored by sca. Sca has an adopt-a-stream program in which community members can invest in a "tidbit- and adopt an unmonitored stream they are concerned about. Sca's water quality monitoring programs benefit the priest lake community by working to protect and conserve regional surface and groundwater quality with real time annual monitoring and increased response time by agency managers to the sources of water quality contamination in the priest lake watershed.”
