Lake ID Number

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources lake identification
number. Lake ID numbers are taken from the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources, 1968 publication "Bulletin 25: An
Inventory
of Minnesota Lakes." It is a six-digit code with the first two
digits indicating the county and the next four the lake number.
These numbers are used for storing/retrieving data in STORET
(EPA's STOrage and RETrieval database). Lakes with a 01, 02,
etc., suffix indicates that the lake has
been divided into "bays" for data storage and assessment
purposes. The subsequent area is an estimate for that bay.
(Example: Lake ID = 01-0123-01 indicates - Anoka County, Cedar
Lake, main basin.)
