Lake Monticello

Williamsburg Environmental Group, Inc. (WEG) prepared a lake management plan for the Lake Monticello Watershed. Lake Monticello is a 317 acre man-made lake with associated shoreline fringe that serves as a primary recreational amenity to members of the Lake Monticello Community. The Lake Monticello Watershed encompasses 5,480 acres and is located in Fluvanna County, Virginia . The management plan includes an assessment of water quality conditions in the lake under current and projected built-out conditions, an assessment of sediment contributions and potential controls, recommendations regarding hydrilla and invasive weeds, fisheries management recommendations, and recommendations for structural and non-structural controls and management measures to protect and restore lake quality. The services in regards to aquatic weeds and fisheries were provided by the Virginia Lake Management Company (VLMC).

The services provided by WEG included hydrological modeling, non-point source pollution and sedimentation modeling, and prediction of eutrophic development of the lake. Based on the extensive analysis, WEG developed a watershed protection strategy consisting of a combination of land use controls, non-structural management practices, public education, and structural controls for pollution prevention and reduction. Recommended structural controls (BMPs) were quantified with respect to their ability to mitigate potential increases in non-point source pollutants within the part of the watershed that is controlled by the Lake Monticello Owners' Association. Additionally, stream restoration practices were quantified with respect to their ability to reduce sediment inputs to the lake. The recommended measures were incorporated into an implementation plan, utilizing the available funding in the most efficient manner.

The Lake Monticello Owners' Association has since started to implement recommendations of the lake management plan, and WEG is currently providing our services for the stream restoration and stormwater management components of the project.
