The 2nd half of algae treatments is planned for Monday, June 27th.
To Our Roaming Shores Neighbors,
After assessing the lake this past week, AquaDoc advises that we move forward with lake treatments to mitigate the Harmful Algae Blooms before they become a problem. The first half of the treatment is planned for Tuesday, June 14th. The second half will be applied approximately 2 weeks later. The following will occur before and after all treatments:

The other day my wife and I were visiting a local MetroPark when we encountered two individuals wading in a pond along the shoreline. Always the inquisitive person, we asked what they were doing. They indicated that they were looking for evidence of tubers (root system) from Hydrilla. Hydrilla is an invasive aquatic plant that is prolific. For those Star Trek fans, think Tribbles on steroids. They can take over a water Read more

I have lived on the lake since late 2011. That’s almost 12 years of watching and learning how our lake responds to seasons, to weather; from winter to summer and from sunshine to rainstorms. The beauty of the lake and the ugliness of the lake have been seen from my vantage point. I had never spent a large part of my life near the water until I moved to the Shores. I Read more

We are entering the season to get back into our yards. At the latest Board Meeting, I briefly went over a tri-fold pamphlet, available in the RRA office. It details a number of practices that can help individuals to reduce their nutrient footprint. And as we know, nutrients, especially phosphorus, are the fuel for algal blooms. So, anything that we as residents can do to reduce the nutrients entering the lake will be Read more

Did you ever wonder how the geese that are congregating on our beaches and in your backyard are affecting the ecology of our lake? Considering each goose can produce 1 to 2 pounds of droppings each day, and a typical Canada Goose may poop 28 times a day, it doesn’t look good for homeowners – or our lake. These droppings contribute to excess nutrients and bacteria in our lake which Read more

Understanding how our lake behaves is paramount in any effort to improve it. During the 2021 recreational season, data was collected for our lake. This data has been compiled in the 2021 Water Quality Report recently received. It is one of the most comprehensive evaluations of our lake and its tributaries in recent years. This article gives a brief overview of this report. It should be noted that most of the data involved Read more
Once again it is time for the annual falling leaves article. By the time this article is published, we may be days or weeks away from the time when the trees become a painting of fall colors. The problem starts once they fall.
Every year, it is a good idea to remind residents that blowing their leaves into the lake is wrong, and that you can be fined. (The fines range from $100 Read more
Some of our residents have reported seeing clumps of green and brown slime on the water surface. There are also reports of odors. Both of these are the result of the recent Vodaguard C algae treatment. In the main part of the lake, this is slowly dissipating. It is not dissipating as quickly in the coves and some protected areas. At this point, we have been told to not attempt to rake or stir up the clumps. Also, avoid Read more
While the main part of the lake does not show a significant bloom, this cannot be said for some of the coves. The rains we have been experiencing have been bringing nutrients into the lake. This, coupled by the calm waters in the coves and the high temperatures have caused the reappearance of blooms in some areas.
With the upcoming Holiday, AquaDoc and EnviroScience have decided that a spot treatment is warranted. Please see below the restrictions that will Read more
