The result was a suggestion for development of an enclosed cell for wildlife with a short term backflood area outside the cell to promote hay production, all within the existing lake basin. With water storage in the basin, downstream erosion and flood benefits were envisioned. This study evaluated the present condition of Lizard Lake,finding it to be a shallow intermittent basin overgrown with emergent vegetation and lacking upland nesting cover for waterfowl. The lake was considered to have waterfowl production potential if a water area up to 1.0 m deep (in summer) could be secured and managed, and a tract of nesting cover could be developed. As a benefit to both nesting waterfowl and landowners, a managed backflood area should be developed to promote gro
