Note from LGA - 2011-12-21 11:36:36
Doug Hughes sent this out. I know I am guilty of blowing leaves into the lake. We’ve had several inquiries asking us if it’s O.K. to blow leaves into the lake. It’s an important topic and although we have addressed this before in our Bulletins, it is timely that we do so again now. Blowing leaves in the lake is not recommended, although there is no law or ordinance against it. As you know, mother nature deposits a certain amount of leaves in the water each year. That’s normal. However, adding to her deposit by blowing leaves into the lake results in sedimentation issues and water quality deterioration. I hope you will agree that mother nature doesn’t need any help from us. For those living on the main lake, the leaves are probably not a big deal, as the current will most likely carry them on down the lake and through the dam. In coves, however, they can become a real problem. As an example, we recently discovered that sedimentation in a cove in Great Creek had reduced the water depth from about seven feet down to a few inches. Most of that was attributed to residents blowing their leaves into the cove over several years. Rotting leaves in the lake also depletes the oxygen level which affects fish & animals who live in that habitat. If you have lawns down to the lake, we would advise you not to fertilize or add weed killer to those areas. Fertilizer runoff in particular promotes algae and hydrilla growth, and weed killer made for land use is not authorized in the lake.

I have added a note for the monthly bulletin those of you that are not members of LGA. The bottom of the bulletin has a lot of business cards from businesses that serve the lake. I am going to cointact the company that does weed control other than Skip for next year. Also the phone number to report if you are going to do a large burn is 252 257 3456.

Entrance sign - 2011-09-15 09:04:24
Thanks to the efforts of Jeff Jenkins (Lot 1), the PASTURE GATE entrance sign is back in place and looks great. For those who may not know, the sign disappeared after Hurricane Irene blew through. Jeff found the damaged sign well out into the cotton field across from the entrance and then volunteered to repair and re-install the sign. Our thanks to Jeff for his excellent work ... the sign looks like new!
