The Lake
Michigan Mass Balance Project Quality Assurance Plan for Mathematical Modeling
(Version 3.0, May 1998) documents the quality assurance process for the development and
application of LMMB models, including hydrodynamic, sediment transport,
eutrophication, transport chemical fate, and food chain bioaccumulation.
