1A NYSDEC verbal standard applies to phosphorus: "[No concentration] that will result in growths of algae, weeds and slime that will impair uses." Because loading of phosphorus from streams to Cayuga Lake is a concern, the upper limit for a mesotrophic lake, 20 ug/L, or 0.02 mg/L, is indicated as a benchmark. See Glossary.
2Average is equal to the sum of n numbers divided by n. Example: Average of 50, 20 and 1000 is 357.
