According
to the USACE web site,
Monthly
algal bloom monitoring was conducted on the 22nd of August.
Four of the 10 monitoring sites were dry. An algal bloom was present at 1
of remaining 6 survey locations. Algal toxins were not detected.
The
September submerged-aquatic-vegetation (SAV) survey
documented SAV at 80% of the sites sampled.
Several other sites sampled in previous surveys were dry. Water clarity
was excellent at all sites. Results show that SAV
continues to recover following the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005, which removed
most of the SAV from the lake.
