Respect

In Feb 2018 The Vermont Dept. of Environmental Conservation tabled a scoping report on water quality measures for the Lake Carmil watershed...heavy phosphorus...we did not get a mention, only alum treatments. However if you go to the obviously updated web site of the Governor Phil Scott:

you will see this.
Of course it does not mean that it will be used but we are now under consideration at state and city levels and it is no longer a fairy tale.

• Efforts to restore Lake Carmi:

• Cross-agency collaboration to write the Crisis Response Plan, required by Act 168.
• Proceeding with plans for an in-lake treatment, since modeling demonstrates that partners are close to meeting target reductions in phosphorus loading from the watershed.
• Contracted with a team of consultants to evaluate alternative approaches to reducing internal loading, with the ultimate goal of reducing the frequency and intensity of cyanobacteria blooms.
• An initial scoping report considered a range of possible treatments, from chemical treatments such as alum or PhosLock to artificial circulation.
