Discuss why weather information is important for project documentation.
What will be an ideal response?
Weather information is extremely important for project documentation. It indicates project conditions that can explain why work was not done on a specific date. This information should reflect the particulars of each work shift, such as the temperature at the start of the shift, at midshift, and at the end of the shift. It also could reflect the temperature during activities that are temperature sensitive, such as concrete pours. Barometric readings help predict immediate changes in the weather. The weather section of the daily report should describe precipitation during a 24-hour period, including the period before the shift, such as overnight. The amount of precipitation, if known, and the time period, for instance, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., should be mentioned as well. The effect of the precipitation also should be noted, such as mud, ice, or the amount of snow on the ground. General wind conditions, such as speed and direction, should be noted, as should the time, duration, velocity, and direction of unusual wind conditions. Because radiated heat can affect some materials, particularly concrete, notes should indicate whether it was clear and sunny, cloudy, partly cloudy, and so on. If there is a disruption in work activities, including stopping work, extraordinary measures to protect work, or rescheduling of the activity because of weather conditions, the duration of the disruption should be noted.

You have been assigned to conduct a site assessment for a lake in Montana. There is a new biofuels plant operating and discharging into the stream that feeds the lake and agriculture around the lake for cattle and switchgrass. You observed high levels of algae floating on the surface of the lake, and the water was highly turbid. You also measured the DO at 1 meter to be 5 mg/L and at a depth of 20 meters the DO was 1.0 mg/L.
a. How would you describe the productivity level of the lake? Explain your reasoning. b. Similar lakes have had threatened Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout populations. But this lake does not. What changes would you suggest be made in managing the lake’s water quality prior to the reintroduction of trout to the lake? What will be an ideal response?
