Zebra Mussel Treatment August 3rd

The Zebra Mussel veliger counts have jumped in the last few days. Our plan is to target the veligers (babies). This is a low dosage shoreline distribution mitigation methodology. Because of the extremely low treatment levels and the safety of the product used, there are no restrictions. Over the next few weeks we will do occasional micro treatments to sustain the copper levels that are safe for all species except the veligers.

Signs like below were posted and the Lake County Health Department that monitors the water quality of the lakes and waterways in the county, has been notified. Alan Bartolai, Ecological Services Program Coordinator for the Lake County Health Department, specifically stated that the planned treatment program on Highland was safe.

McCloud will be using a motor boat for the main treatment this week using Downey Park as a launch. Almost daily monitoring and testing of the lake will be provided at no cost by the Lake County Zebra Mussel Project Foundation. So you will see researchers on the lake in kayaks. Three of the researchers live on Highland Lake.

The Lake County Zebra Mussel Project Foundation appreciates the support of this project by the HLPOA.

Be On The Lookout for Blue-Green Algae

This potentially toxic algae has been found in most of the lakes in our county, so yes, it is a promise. This form of algae exerts its toxic effects when ingested orally, so dogs and children playing in the lake are most susceptible to harm. According to Alana Bartolai, Lake County Health Department Water Specialist, blue-green algae resembles “pea soup”, a “paint spill” or “grass-like clippings.” If you see suspicious-appearing algae (and remember that there are other benign forms of algae), forward a photograph to Pat Herendeen for his review and possible submission to the Lake County Health Department. If indicated, a county representative will come to Highland Lake for a formal inspection.
