Bullhead Lake, a 27 ha (67 acre ) hard water dimictic lake with a maximum depth of 10.5 (35 ft.), was treated with aluminim sulfate (alum) via metalimnetic injection on 23 August 1978. The treatment was designed to evaluate the use of metalmnetic alum injection for phosphorus control and to determine the effect of alum on plankton and benthos. The project began in June 1975 and continued through December 1982. Nutrient content, planktonic biota, and benthic community composition and response were determined.
