ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING JULY 31, 2008 <br />Continue pre and post-herbicide plan surveys <br />Consider introducing (planting) native aquatic vegetation <br /> <br />Hurdles for Reshanau Lake Management: <br /> <br />-Rough fish: feeding/spawning activities kill native aquatic vegetation <br />-Re-suspend bottom sediment and phosphorus <br />-Turbidity (poor water quality) <br />-Native aquatic vegetation cannot grow in turbid water <br />-Cost of herbicide treatment - $35,814 for 08 <br />-Cost expected to increase in coming years <br /> <br />Impairments to our lakes have resulted in the need to have a Total Maximum <br />Daily Load (TMDL) study done for each lake. These studies are underway. <br /> <br />Ms. O’Dea questioned if there has been an association formed of lake <br />homeowners, a taxing district or a lake improvement district. Mr. Kocian stated <br />there was a lake improvement district but, there was a setback and at the current <br />time they are working with a steering committee or a group that represents <br />homeowners. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown stated that water quality is an issue and has definitely been a problem. <br />He stated most homeowners pay a few hundred dollars a year to help with the <br />Curleyleaf Pondweed problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Asleson stated the City has been contacted and asked to contribute/participate <br />in the restoration efforts. The City owns 1800’ of lakeshore on this lake. <br /> <br />Ms. Bor had concerns about water quality such as how the lake compares with <br />other lakes in terms of needs and if it is decided what type of lake this will be <br />such as recreational or quiet. Those who want a recreational lake don’t want lily <br />pads, etc. She questioned how the phosphorus is reduced without interfering with <br />the intent of homeowners as to how they wish to use the lake. <br /> <br />Mr. Kocian is working with two lakes, Bald Eagle and Reshanau. Both groups <br />came to RCWD a few years ago regarding excessive growth of Curleyleaf <br />Pondweed and degraded water quality conditions. RCWD’s first efforts in <br />supporting water quality improvements were to help fund the projects. Curleyleaf <br />Pondweed is an issue in most shallow lakes. <br /> <br />Mr. Asleson stated the point is that there are impaired waters and the City has a <br />responsibility to reduce pollutant loading in our lakes. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown stated that the initial treatments improved the lake tremendously. <br /> <br />3 DRAFT MINUTES
