When unburned fuel from snowmobiles accumulates in the snow, it is released into the ecosystem, primarily during spring thaw. The purpose of this study is primarily to measure the extent of acid and pollution pulses during spring thaw in four differently impacted lakes in the Haliburton Forest. Using the collected and analyzed data, predictions of the effects of acid pulse on aquatic life and habitat in the Haliburton Forest can be made. Recommendations are proposed for future monitoring.]]>
