Description	The ever-increasing development of watersheds has raised the importance of assessing and mitigating the environmental impacts on water bodies located within disturbed areas. The removal of natural landcover can increase soil erosion and runoff along creeks and rivers, leading to heavier sediment build-up in ponds and lakes and to reductions in water quality and impoundment capabilities. For this paper, we described the possible impact from urbanization on sedimentation within a small lake. Landcover maps from two different time periods were compared against lake depths to assess relationships between development and sediment buildup. By understanding the mechanisms potentially leading to the ultimate loss of this lake, it is hoped that remediation strategies to reduce future degradation may be developed.
