Glossary

|
Comments: Alum treatment in
1998 has temporarily reversed declining water quality trend.
Long-term management plans include stormwater treatment designed to
remove sediment and debris. Grass carp removal was
performed in December of 2000 to allow reestablishment of aquatic
plants. Lake appears to be responding well to these projects.
