Lake Water Quality Public Stakeholder Meeting 7/31/2008

Peltier, Centerville, and the Rice Creek “Chain of Lakes” (George Watch, Marshan, Reshanau, Rice, and Baldwin Lakes) are listed as “Impaired” by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The impairments have been caused by excessive amounts of nutrients (phosphorus) in the water. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study has been developed to address the excess nutrient levels; this meeting will review the study. We will discuss the sources of nutrients to the lakes, and our strategy for addressing these sources.
