This report, the result of a one-year literature and field survey in areas of planned and existing development, presents an ecological overview evaluating the limnology, water chemistry, and fisheries of lakes Fort Peck and Sakakawea. Specifically, the survey provides an overview of baseline conditions, describes various developments and their impacts, identifies mitigation measures, and delineates further research needs. Additionally, the data collected over the study year from the two upper impoundments, Lake Peck and Lake Sakakawea, is compared with the more comprehensive data compiled over a period of several years on the lower four reservoirs to determine the extent of the physical, chemical and biological similarity among the respective systems.
