Fi Harveys Lake 639-1264 Lake algae The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, June 17,1992 5 (continued from page 1) can begin; that is for the DER to sign a contract with the borough. [Lance Himmelberger, water pollution biologist from the De- partment of Environmental Re- sources Bureau of Water Quality Management, said he expects the contract tobe signed, and the study to begin in another four to six weeks. “They have a study plan, a very good study plan. It's just a matter of getting the administrative stuff outofthe way," said Himmelberger. The $70,000 study will be paid for through a 70/30 matching grant from the United States Envi- ronmental Protection Agency, which will provide $49,000. In- stead of paying cash, the borough will meet its 30 percent share of the cost through volunteer labor from EVAC valued at $8,000, and donated lab time from Wilkes University valued at $5,000. The final portion of the cost will be paid with an $8,000 grant [rom the state’s Department of Environ- mental Resources, which has been budgeted for the 1991/1992 fiscal year. Also included in the tour, were Paul Maher, an aide to U.S. Repre- sentative Paul Kanjorski, and Mil- lard Twardowski, an aide to state Representative George Hasay. Once started, Chris Holdren of Coastal Environmental Services will conduct the 18-month study. Harveys Lake has a couple of strikes against it from the start which make it susceptible to algae blooms. First, the watershed of the state's largest natural lake is relatively small, not quite six times as large as the lake's surface area. About a quarter of the lake's watershed is residential development, housing 2,430 citizens in all. And most of that development is right on the lake, forming a tight ring around it, which means that nutrients that feed algae blooms from lawn fertil- izers or septic systems that are unconnected to sewer lines don't have [ar to go to reach the water. Second, feeding water into the lake are several very small streams and springs in the lake's bottom. The lake's outlet, Harveys Creek is often a trickle. A typical gallon of water that runs into the lake laden with nutrients will stay there for just over 3 years before it drains into Harveys Creek - plenty of time for the nutrients to feed a bloom of cyanobacteria. The detective work involved in the study will be discovering what the real sources of pollution are as opposed to just guessing at them. “Though you may think you know what the problems are," said Himmelberger, “you may not have enough detailed information to start cleaning up the lake.” Holdren will test the quality of the water running into the lake through its tributaries, and the water in the lake itself, but he'll also be looking in some more out- of-the-way places foranswers. He'll study what the runoff water from the the roads encircling the lake, laden with salt and sediment, does to the quality of Harveys Lake. He'll check the quality of ground water in the area. He'll look at what may be polluting some of the lake's tributaries, and he'll find out how much pollution already lies in the sediment covering the - lake's bottom. “The sedimentation problems are very severe,” said Holdren, during the four-hour tour. “In general the water quality here is going to be better on a day to day basis. Even though it comes out very well as a whole, there are periods with very severe problems.” Some initial clues Initial observations on the causes of the lake's ailment sug- gest that sewage contaminating the lake has been partly elimi- nated since sewers were installed in 1977. Sediments running into the water carrying contaminates may prove an important source of contamination. “We feel a lot of pollution is lying in the sediments,” said Abod. “When we have a calm day and we test the water it is almost drink- able.” But said Abod, when there are a lot of boats on the lake stirring up the bottom sediments, “the pollu- tion would go off the scale.” Some of the sedimentation prob- lem may be caused by faulty storm water catch basins around the lake, said Abod. In many of the 300 catch basins, instead of having the drain pipe several feet above the bottom of the basin, so sediment can settle out of the water before running into the lake, the pipe is on the bottom of the basin and water runs out sediment and all. One of the most severe prob- lems with sediment filling in the lake is at Sandy Bottom near the state's boat launch. Once 10or 11 feet deep, the water now is only three feet deep. The suspected source of the problem is a creek which runs along School House Road. Though the state Fish Commission plans to dredge the area this fall, the problem will likely return unless the flow of sediments is stopped.

Cleanup matching Shs are also a lot tougher, requiring the § local organizations to come up with a [ull 50% of the funds, said Him- melberger. n Even without cleanup funding, | the study may give some direction | for a few things that can be done to] help the lake at low cost. | Though the borough has worked to find homes unconnected to the | sewers, Advisory Council member Guy Giordano noted that the hundreds of boat houses on the-| lake are a likely source of pollu: 1 tion. bs “One thing that bothers me is that we haven't put enough effort into sewering shoreline boat, houses,” said Giordano. i Based on his many years I servicing boats on the lake, Gior- dano estimates that half of the’ shoreline structures don't have. | toilet facilities, and a fifth of them~ are not located near the owner's | home. 1 Giordano said that the borough’ requires that people who have a | boat house without a home within 300 feet of the boat house are required to hook up to the sewers. Those with homes nearby are encouraged to have the boat houses hooked up by having the hookup charge halved. “The point is people don’t go | across the street,” said Giordano. “They jump in the lake and go swimming.” Ironically, said Giordano, DER regulations prohibit installing toi- lets in boat houses. A Even routine lawn care can | present a danger to the lake. 4 “We were thinking about pass-.. ing a law that you can't use lawn fertilizer,” added Giordano. Fertil- | izer, running into the lake water, can help feed an algae bloom. “But it was advised that we don’t change anything until the study is over.” The Environmental Advisory | Council also has been pushing the | Fish Commission to install addi- ° tional floating docks at the launc] 1) area so boaters can, use the restroom facilities there, said Gior-| a dano.
