Comments: Lake Adair
experienced severe algae blooms during the mid 1990's. The
Stormwater Division conducted a study that indicated the major nutrient source
to Lake Adair originated from a large colony
of migratory birds. Birds were dispersed in the spring of
1996, which has resulted in significant water quality improvements.
