![]() In short: • DNA can determine the specific source of E. coli contamination. • Silt does not originate from waterfowl, but from erosion. • Grass does not sufficiently retard runoff, and introduces nutrients that accelerate "eutrophication" of the lake from waterfowl and fertilizers. • "Impervious surfaces" are the reason for those two different sites experiencing the effects of rapid rain runoff. (Not just driveways, but roofs). • Erosion on Rattlesnake Island is even worse. (Photo 1*, below) • Nearby, a 20-year-abandoned "Trust" property (ice-eaters operating in July—now sold) has seen erosion that is casting its trees into the lake. (Photo 2*, below). The abutting lot was visited by "Urban Tree Service" last week. • And yes, increasingly-large boat wakes are responsible. (Photo 3*, below). Nature's waves haven't washed over my dock like these. ![]() . |

![]() I believe we, as humans can do little to alter the ebb and flow of mother nature...just as the Earth is going through a cycle of warmer climate, I will not be here long enough to see any difference in one lifetime. Someday we'll be in the deep freeze again too. How old is Mother Earth? ![]() |
