I I I I My name is Gerald Lindner, and I live at 7413 Peltier Lake Drive. I am a lakeshore owner on Peltier Lake, and I am representing myself. Thank you for the opportunity .to speak. Please make decision with Facts- I. Previous meetings- Lake Association Proposals for bog poles and angled line 100 feet south of island. II. Facts about Peltier Lake- Boils down to two concerns: Herons Aquatic Habitat Northern end because of possible filtering effect A. Herons: Eagles already back and roosting (picture taken 3/23/02) 300 rn (984.2 ft) buffer zone already given by bog pole location: Island already has 1000 ft (304.8m) buffer south of nesting area This exist when herons were at nested peak in 1997 @113 7 nests If more stringent controls are needed, utilize the bog poles and attach some sunshine clause for critical nesting time (Aprill---July 15) of the herons as seen in the attached picture of the sign placed on the island approximately March 1,2002. B. Aquatic Habitat and water quality: a. State two different lakes-- Aerial picture shows two different lakes: Dark color water and green color water separated by bog poles line. Answers not known yet but intuitively there is importance submerged aquatic vegetation north of bog poles. 1. RCWD conducted a study costing $90,000 that was initiated in 1990. This study has a tremendous amount of information from the first early settlers and their battles with the various Indian tribes in the 1600's to all of the chernicalloading ofCenterville and Peltier lake including charts, graphs, and tables and how it relates to algae blooms and water quality. 2. Study still ongoing and gathering data to pinpoint cause of Phosphorus loading of Peltier. 3. Main phosphorus loading is coming from Hardwood creek: 2002-will do more sampling along Hardwood Creek to pinpoint area of heaviest loading. 4. More evaluation about northern end will take place this next year to determine quality of northern end water. Determining how beneficial is it, and can it support aquatic and fish habitat? And what can we do to improve it if it is failing in its present state. III. Proposed IdeaslPlan for Improved Water Quality:
