Glossary
|
|
Comments: In 1989 an alum
injection system was installed to treat stormwater runoff, resulting
in water quality improvements. Water quality improvements
benefit downstream lakes since Lake Dot discharges large quantities
of water to Lake Concord, which is part of the Howell Branch chain
of lakes.
