There isn't really anything that can be done. A quick google search of the algae they test for says these algae are a direct result of excessive nutrient runoff. So as long as we keep getting rained on coupled with agricultural, residential, and commercial nutrient runoff...These events will be common.

Unless there is a treatment to get the blooms under control but who knows what the side effects of that would be?

This is nothing new. They just started taking actions based on test results within the past few years. Blooms are very common and I'm sure we have all seen them and wrote them off as pollen in the water. It clears itself.

That's not good. I was hoping it would only be a week like Swartswood was last year. I wonder if they'll cancel the fireworks tomorrow night?

I think this is my fault because I finally dished out the money for a boat slip on the lake this year!

If you replace all the septics with a sewage treatment plant, $$$, that would fix it.

Question Re: Hopatcong HAB

Lawn fertilizers to blame ?? What about the 12,000 trout stocked in there. How will this effect Lake Musconetcong and the Musconetcong river ?
