Water Resources Director Pawan Upadhyay presented Clear Lake rehabilitation and compliance activities at the District 3 MAC Alliance meeting, describing efforts to manage stormwater runoff, protect groundwater and support Clearlake Hitch recovery. He highlighted three projects: the Eutrophix pilot to bind phosphorus in the lake, an ultrasonic buoy trial in Clearlake, and the Middle Creek Restoration project in Upper Lake.
Holly Harris added that the EPA SBMM Superfund Site cleanup presentation is scheduled for the ERTH meeting on May 6 and mentioned an upcoming hypolimnetic oxygenation project near Rattlesnake Island as well as the CLO Keys/Schindler Creek restoration project. Presenters framed these as a mix of pilot technologies and larger restoration efforts; funding sources and specific timelines varied by project and were discussed at a conceptual level.
No formal approvals or county votes took place during the meeting; staff said further project details, handouts and supporting materials would be posted to the ERTH website for public review.
