To address the HAB issue and related recommendations from the North Arm Investigation Committee, the HLWID applied for and received funding from the EPA in the form of an Emerging Contaminants Grant. This grant will be applied to reducing or eliminating the occurrence of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in the North Arm. As part of the grant project, the University of Idaho will conduct a two-year study (Summer 2025 and 2026) of sediment-borne sources of nutrients in the North Arm of Hayden Lake. The Lake Manager will conduct water sampling in the bay and along Hayden Creek to explore runoff as a source of nutrients. A contracted Environmental Engineer will use the data from these studies to remediate nutrient sources and accomplish the objectives of the DW Grant Project.
