Pete and Elizabeth conducted a water quality assessment survey for the Sandy Lake dam outflow at Goddard State Park. Their work was used to compare water quality to the most recent data from 2004 and to see if there had been improvement. Their findings suggested that there had been little to no improvement, providing Goddard State Park with the baseline data needed to target restoration efforts.
