A Wonderful Lake Community Located in South Western Ohio
The Official LPOA Website

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, Bruce Clark at 472-2020.

Marine and Lake Management Meeting

Charlie Moore - Chairman

From:       Charlie Moore – Chairman

Subject:   Meeting Minutes November 4, 2010

 

Number of Committee Members present:     6

 

Recognized guest:    Paul Healy, Karl Bergman, Richard Shank, Terry Davis, Mike Schleich, and Paul Meyers

 

The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. 

 

The Treasurer’s report was submitted to the committee and approved.

 

Old business:     Discussed 2011 Lakengren Open Bass Tournament dates and were changed as noted below.

                                

Kevin Thorpe stated that the aeration system for Valhalla Lake has been installed and is up and running. Kevin also said he was told it may take 1 to 1 1/2 years to see results.

 

New business:  Paul Healy passed around a list of names of prospective members for a Lake Management Committee. Paul Healy’s idea is to make the Lakengren Marine and Lake Management Committee two separate stand alone committees.

After much discussion and debate about the pros and cons of having two separate stand alone committees, it was decided in the best interest of all concerned that it will remain as the Marine and Lake Management Committee. It was decided to form a sub-committee to study and monitor the Lake Management part of the committee. This will allow us to work together share ideas.  They will report to the Marine and Lake Management Committee.

Dane Brierly read the Marine and Lake Management year end report as was presented at the annual meeting, and reported that the fathead minnows have been delivered and put into the lakes.

It was decided not to hold a meeting till April 2011 unless deemed necessary.
