The article discusses Union Lake, a kettle lake that is located in Minnesota. An important aspect of kettle lakes is that they lack any significant inlet and outlet streams and are therefore overfed by nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. The author discuses the events that led to the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Lakes Assessment program.
