Both are 160,000 mg.

Explanation:

So the total amounts of buffer are going to be expressed in mg (in your case). This means you can take the concentrations (in mg/L) and multiply by the volumes (in L) to get your amounts mg.

For Squirrel Lake:

2 mg/L * 80,000 L = 160,000 mg

For Moose Lake:

1.6 mg/L * 100,000 L = 160,000 mg
