AUDIENCE COMMENTS
None
UPDATE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF LAKE PILOT TREATMENTS
Dr. Trecker motioned, Mr. Cravens seconded to recommend to the full PBSD
Board to extend the blue tilapia program to two additional lakes (L'Ambiance &
Waldorf Astoria lake behind hotel). The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Cravens motioned, Dr. Trecker seconded to recommend to the full PBSD to do
a pilot program on two lakes (St. Andrews & Lake 4 on golf course)with the
peroxide treatment. The motion carried unanimously.
UPDATE ON LAKES' NUTRIENT AND COPPER LEVELS
Mr. Rafael Vasquez-Burney, CH2M Hill, believed that tilapia would be effective in
controlling algae,but could present problems with carbon loads and oxygen depletion. He also
reviewed copper data from the storm water lakes for the last four quarters, which showed a
decreasing trend in copper levels. High levels of phosphorus and nitrogen were found and these
nutrients contribute to algae growth.
Mr. Cravens motioned, Dr. Chicurel seconded to recommend to the full PBSD
Board that staff be authorized to explore the possibility of a pilot filter marsh
project that would utilize space within the 12 acre site. The motion carried
unanimously.
OUTSOURCING LAKE MANAGEMENT
Mr. Dorrill informed the Committee that the current outsourcing of lake management
activities are costly.
