Reservoir Size:
Lake is approximately 500 surface acres, with a maximum depth of 65 ft, mean depth of 24 ft, and estimated volume of 12,000 acre-ft. Lake’s east arm is 2.5 miles long covering 43 acres, with a 20 ft maximum depth and an 8 ft mean depth.
SolarBee Installation:
Date: June 2006 Installed seven (7) SB10000v12 units spread throughout the eastern arm of the lake.
Project Objectives:
Lake has had a history of blue-green algae blooms, elevated pH levels, occasional fish kills, and undesirable odors. The objectives of SolarBees’ longdistance circulation in the east arm are to: 1) to control harmful algal blooms and associated elevated pH levels; 2) reduce or eliminate periodic odors and fish kills; and 3) reduce the amount of chemicals previously used to control blue-green algae blooms.
