Next meeting for the Crooked Lake Area Lakes Protection & Rehabilitation District will be held at 9 a.m. on November 12, 2011, at the Community Center. Brenda Rosin will be in attendance from the DNR. She works with the Invasive Species Lake Rehabilitation Department. Two programs she will bring to us are: 1) Shoreline program and 2) Volunteer program. Volunteer program will count towards hours needed for the clean boat clean water program. We are still in need of hours for our grant. Please think about attending to help with our volunteer hours.
2011 District Activities
Chemically treated 3.8 acres of milfoil
Five year lake plant study to be done by Onterra (tentative date is set for the month of August)
Onterra will also check the milfoil treatment to see how well it worked
Septic Systems
The care of your septic system is very important to the health of our lakes. A functioning septic system will remove disease causing organisms and some nutrients and chemicals from wastewater. It will not remove or treat many liquid pollutants such as solvents, automotive and lubricating oils, drain cleaners, and other noncleaning househould chemicals.
Proper maintenance is critical to protecting water quality especially if the lake is used for drinking water or recreational activities. How can poorly designed or maintained systems affect our lakes?
Untreated sewage contributes to algae and aquatic plant growth
Can cause fish kills
Nutrients are very slow to leave the lake
Important: homeowners monitor and maintain your septic systems!
Volunteers are still needed to do Clean Boat/Clean Water!
The July 9 district meeting minutes are now posted under the Lake District Minutes section of the website. The district still needs members to send in their e-mail address. Please contact the district through crooklake@gmail.com.
