This from friend/neighbor Kathy Clevers regarding the floating growth on the water. I’ll contact DNR Agent Mike Stalh for follow-up. Of all the 59 1/2 years I’ve been here, I’ve never seen the floating, manure smelling growth before. Roger
“Kathy,
I’m aware that several staff members have recently fielded comments
and questions regarding Kelly Lake. Last Friday one of the Water
Quality Biologists, Jim Reyburn, visited the lake to check out a
report of a “sewage-like” odor. He found decaying algae that was
collecting in a backwater area, and determined that it was the source
of the odor. (If you’ve visited the Lake Michigan or Green Bay
shoreline where algae has washed ashore during the past couple of
years you’d agree that decaying algae smells exactly like sewage.) I
believe that Jim reported that the property owner of that backwater
area was raking the algae out of the water. If it continues to be a
source of odor then it may be advisable for him to dispose of the
algae in an upland location - which may entail pumping as the algae is
mostly water and has the consistancy of snot.
As for collecting a water sample, Jim may have collected a sample when
he was there, but I don’t know for certain. I think that there is a
resident on the lake who collects lake data for the Citizen Lake
Monitoring Program. If (s)he is not already collecting water samples
as part of that monitoring it would be a good idea to add that to the
monitoring conducted there. The lake association leadership should
know who that volunteer is who conducts that monitoring.
As for DNR personnel to contact - Warden Stahl can assist if there has
been an incident like a manure spill. Otherwise for lake management
issuses or questions call Jim Reyburn at 920-662-5465.
See you Monday evening.
Dick”
Hey, it’s mid-summer! Remember mid-winter? Enjoy water fun on Kelly Lake while we have the sun and warm weather on the water! I made a point to look back to February and remember… Roger (Photo by Shirley Birr)
