Algal Bloom
Lake Bank DescriptionWithin the pond reach along resident's water front: cattails; water lily's; various size rocks and fine gravel; recreational items such as kayaks, fire pits, chairs; therefore, each water front along southern length is inconsistent. The northern length has grasses, cattails, water lily's, two small (6-8 foot) man made trickle waterfalls fed from a pump, various wildflowers, various pines, ocean spray, and aspens.
Adjacent Land Use descriptionIn the spring and during heavy rains, there is an inflow of rain and spring melt runoff from Nettleton Gulch from the east. The pond has never overflowed it's banks. The pond is part of the Fernan watershed. There are residents in the Nettleton Gulch area that have pastured horses on their land; organized agriculture does not appear to occur outside of residential gardens.
Other Assessment Observations- An artificial barrier floats across the water at the eastern end of the pond, installed by a resident, for the purpose of reducing flotsam and algae from entering their part of the pond; - Aquashade was applied: 4 gal on May 18, '18 and 7 gal on June 13, '18; - Cutrine, an algaecide, was applied May 22 & Jun 16; - At the minimum, wildlife includes, elk, deer, otter, beaver, cougar, coyotes, muskrats; aquatic life includes large- and small-mouth bass, bluegill, black crappies, perch, frogs, painted turtles; - There are 6 fountains, dispersed fairly evenly throughout the pond; - One ground water pump, used as needed, to maintain a normal water level; - There are no motorized engines allowed on the pond; however, kayaks, paddleboats, and canoes are used by residents. Catch and release fishing and ice skating are enjoyed by residents.
