Comments: Lake restoration
measures include a draw down in the 1970's with partial muck removal
and a whole lake alum treatment in 1992. Neither project
resulted in long term improvements. A draw down of the lake in
spring of 1999 appears to have resulted in short term water quality
improvements. Lake went dry in 2001 and entire bottom was
dredged to remove muck resulting in water quality improvements.
Historic high TSI values may have been due to
suspension of nutrient rich sediments by wind and large winter bird
population.
