  14. Alum Treatment Project Update Jack Starke

  15. Alum Treatment Project Update Problem: Excessive summer algae blooms caused by recycling of phosphorus from bottom sediments. Solution: In September 2006 treated approximately 800 acres deeper than 18’ with 120,000 gallons of alum to bind up phosphorus in deep water sediments & put algae on a “diet”. Additional Action: Due to area inside 18’ being greater than 800 acres and some misapplication errors, the vendor will return in September 2007 to apply an additional 34,000 gallons at no additional cost to the towns. Received a member item grant from State Senator Dale Volker.
