PBSD PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH WATER POLLUTION
Near Term (Calendar 2013)
(1) Make community aware of problem and immediate steps that can be
taken for fertilizer BMP (articles and presentations)
(2) Explore ways to reduce or eliminate copper fungicide use (Basin 3 pilot)
(3) Continue to monitor nutrient and copper levels, including recycled water
and sediment testing. Which lakes have the highest levels? Which
associations are the major offenders?
(4) Explore options with the Foundation for enforcement of fertilizer BMP.
Mid Term (201415)
(1) Expand pilot program, if successful, to all basins.
(2) With Foundation, implement fertilizer BMP enforcement.
If necessary, remove copper from lakes.
The best regulatory scenario would be that, with controlled fertilizer use and
with little or no additional copper fungicide pumped into the lakes, the existing
copper in Clam Bay would be flushed out to sea and Clam Bay would meet the
copper standard in 45 years.
If not, copper removal from the lakes may be necessary. Even with Clam Bay
compliance, copper removal from the lakes may be justified to reduce long-
term risk.

PILOT PROJECT — FIVE LAKES IN BASIN 3
• Separate the variables
Example:
Pond 1— Aeration
Pond 2 — Littoral plantings
Pond 3 — Aeration + littoral plantings
Pond 4 — Bacteria + aeration
Pond 5 — Bacteria + aeration + littoral plantings
This assumes bacterial treatment cannot stand alone because it needs
aeration to prevent the bacteria from going anaerobic (less active against
nutrients).
Need baseline N, P, CU01) numbers and ponds free of surface algae
before pilot projects begin

LAKE AND BAY SAMPLING AND TESTING
• Need sampling /testing in
Upper Clam Bay
Inner Clam Bay
Outer Clam Bay
including sites where previous samples were taken.
• Need continued (shoreline) sampling /testing for N, P, Cu(II) in the 42
ponds where previous samples were taken. Utilize current data base.
Also need center -of -lake sampling /testing in 45 selective lakes for
comparison with shoreline testing.
• Need sediment testing in center and at previous shoreline sites of 4-5
selective lakes.
- Depth of water and sediment in centers of 4-5 selective lakes
- Cu(II) from water and sediments in centers and at previous
shoreline sites in the same 4-5 selective lakes
