Reservoir Size:
Surface area is 125 acres.Volume is 1,100 acre-feet. Maximum depth is 16 feet when full. Average depth is 9 feet.
SolarBee Installation:
Date: June 2003. Installed three SB10000F SolarBees on short notice due to total disappearance of any measurable DO in the lake. The machines are solar powered. Two intake hoses were set at 10 feet deep, and the third was set at 7 ft. deep.
Project Objectives:
Initial objective was to increase dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the water column. Problems resulting from high nutrient loadings included blue-green algae blooms and chronic fish kills. Other issues included elevated coliform counts, heavy metals, and turbidity.
