CRWD M Anderson informed the board of the process and procedures that CRWD take in monitoring Pleasant Lake and how stormwaters can be controlled for minimum impact. Phosphorus, along with other chemicals, measurements are taken at 7 sites that flow into our lake and recommendations as to a safe level was explained. There are areas that read high and will need attention in the future to maintain a safe lake reading. Our lake is also tested every other year for total phosphorus amounts and a 25 mg is recommended our last reading in 2004 was 34 mg. A high level of phosphorus was recorded in 1997 at 51 mg. Large amounts of rainfall will have a negative,chemical, effect on the lake. There are areas that are suitable for holding ponds within the city that could be recommended for future development. The CRWD and Pleasant Lk Association may be able to work together for common goals. The CRWD is having a January meeting we are invited to attend.
