A Wonderful Lake Community Located in South Western Ohio

Marine & Lakes Management Committee monitors and evaluates the condition of the main lake and smaller lakes within Lakengren and the watershed that fills them. The committee seeks and cultures means to hinder and eliminate natural processes that degrade water quality and recreational resources. They maintain an awareness of relative populations of game fish and rough fish and researches approaches to eradication and control of rough fish population to the extent of optimizing quality of recreational fishing. This committee stocks fish in the lake, reports conditions of the lakes and fish to the Board of Trustees and recommends actions to be taken when required.

A monitoring program identifies early onset of algae and weed growth with the goal of initiating chemical treatment by Lakengren Maintenance and/or committee members to control overgrowth. Aeration is implemented on a budgeted basis to control algae and reduce bottom sediments.

An on-going lake clarity monitoring program records and reports lake turbidity, coloration and water temperature. They maintain an awareness of the surrounding watershed and its contribution to silt accumulation and sanitary conditions. This committee monitors sediment accumulation in the main lake and smaller lakes, assists in removal of silt and recommends locations and methods of silt removal. They communicate to the community the importance of reducing nutrients, which damage the lake, i.e., nutrients introduced through burning along the lake, dumping leaves, grass clippings along the shores, unrestricted fertilizing, etc.

The committee sponsors Fishing Tournaments as a means of generating revenue for their stocking program. For further information, call Kent Kogler at 472-3746.

 

Marine and Lake Management Committee Meeting

By Marty Burnett

   Many of us enjoy many aspects of the ponds and lakes here at Lakengren, but they need maintained just like the rest of the Lakengren area. That is the responsibility of the Marine and Lake Management Committee, to maintain and/or improve the quality of the lake and ponds. A meeting is to be held to for people who are interested in helping on the committee.

   Some of the responsibilities are, to monitor the water quality, to evaluate game-fish populations, monitor algae and weed growth, and maintain awareness of silt accumulation. The committee will gather information on these and other items, and recommendations taken to the Board for the best course of actions.

   Also, the committee will communicate more awareness to the Lakengren community on activities that are actually detrimental to the lakes and ponds such as, dumping leaves and grass clippings in the water, and unrestricted fertilizing.

   If you are interested helping or have questions, contact Marty Burnett at 456-6848. Our first meeting is Thursday, May 3 at 6:30, at the Lodge, and information on future meetings will be published.
