Lagoon #174 Update

10:30AM- Members of the Lagoon Committee and Keith Willis, Director of Lagoon Maintenance for CAM, viewed the ongoing work at L-174. Keith is trying to get ahead of the large task of lagoon maintenance. He plans to stock all of our lagoons with grass carp, approximately 7-to-10 carp per acre of surface area, sometime this fall. He asked that homeowners not cut the plant growth at waters edge. His team is trying to control the growth using chemicals, etc. Todd doupona arrived on site to check on the project. He said that the landscaping crew will return to fix the sprinkler systems. Todd also mentioned that the surveying crew determined that L-172 was not deep enough, so that construction crew would return to dredge it some more. The excavator was able to take down the large dead tree that was an eyesore for the past three years.

Dredging continues on L-174. Work is also being done on reconstructing the rip-rap outfall weir on the east bank of the wetland. The large dead tree on the east embankment has been removed. The Estate Management Svcs Team recovered a large amount of various size and species of fish yesterday. The fish were put into L-171 so they might return back to L-174 via the interconnecting culvert when work on L-174is completed and the plug in the curb drain is removed. They also caught the 5 foot alligator in their net!
