Due to all the rain we just got, PLM was out today and did an FOS test. We will have results in about eight days. This test is just to make sure that the Sonar is still working and that the extra volume of water has not diluted it too much.
Latest Sonar Testing Report
– From PLM
Hello All,
Our test results came back and I have attached them to this email. Sonar concentrations look great and normal. We have talked with the manufacturer of the product used and they don’t believe the plume had anything to do with the product. We did a little bit of inspection and suspect the construction of a sea wall and its jet pump putting the sediments out into the lake. It has all cleared up as of yesterday. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Update of update on Lake
First off sorry for so many posts in one day. We won’t normally have such a high post volume, but evidently some people had some concerns about the conditions on the lake.
Per PLM
“Bre and I looked over the lake and don’t see any reason to be concerned. We noticed some development going on around the lake along with beaches having sand that potentially washed into the lake and is being carried by the current/wind. We observed no smell or oil residue. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. We are here to help!”
Lake Turnover
PLM was out testing our lake today And I received an update from Dale Price our Lake Board representative.
Due to the weather we have been having, they think that the lake is doing what is called a turnover. When the conditions are just right sometimes the cold water at the bottom of the lakes mixes with the warmer water on top.
The process is actually good for the lake in the long run of them in the short term it can cause a little bit of unpleasantness.
PLM will be back again next week to do some more testing and at that point in time should have more information for us.

Stay Home Garlic Mustard Pull
Stay Home Garlic Mustard Pull

REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
When removing garlic mustard, you should grab the plant near the base and pull it out of the ground. The plant has a long tap root, so you will want to remove as much of it as you can. The garlic mustard that was pulled should be placed in a garbage bag and left in the sun, this will help kill the plant. The bags should then be labeled as an invasive species and disposed in a landfill. Little Forks has printable disposal tags that can be downloaded from their website.
