[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1756438, member: 24027"] It's a 60 acre watershed. Holds 155+ million gallons at normal capacity and the dam is 48 ft. high. Since it's a watershed lake, we can't do anything - it all has to go through the Watershed Board. Mr. TC just happens to be on the Board, but as a general rule, they won't do anything (like add copper sulfate). At least, they didn't the last time it happened, probably 5 years ago. Not uncommon in Kansas and there are currently a number of large lakes that have been affected. It's almost always just a waiting game for rain, wind & cooler temps. The algae is always there but it has to have just the right conditions to bloom. Kinda like johnsongrass & some of the other potentially toxic forages. [/QUOTE]
