Premier Lakes reports algae, reduces aerator noise; plantings on Lake E4-A put on hold pending association agreement
Summary
Premier Lakes reported seasonal algae growth and removed a palm from Lake E7A; installing a cabinet reduced compressor sound at Masters Lake from 64 to 52 decibels, but staff said the aerator's tone is still an issue and recommended further study and possible relocation of the compressor. Plantings at Lake E4-A are delayed pending agreement with the Edgewater Association.
Bill Kurth, representing Premier Lakes, told the Board that lakes, preserves and dry retention areas are in generally good condition but that seasonal algae growth had been observed. He said a palm tree on the shoreline of Lake E7A was removed as part of routine maintenance.
Kurth reported that installing a cabinet around the compressor at Masters Lake reduced the measured sound level "from 64 to 52 decibels," which he said is acceptable at the midpoint between the compressor and the screen line. Operations Manager Shane Willis noted the remaining concern is the tone of the aerator, not only the decibel level, and discussed options including moving the compressor within the easement. Willis will coordinate with Bill and Alex Kurth on potential relocation and report back at the next meeting.
Supervisor Bob Schultz summarized additional lake concerns in the Edgewater area, including flooding and rip-rap needs, and recommended meeting with Tim Wilkin at Edgewater to seek an agreeable solution. The Board reached consensus that Canna lilies should not be planted and decided to delay plantings in Lake E4-A until an agreement is reached with the Edgewater Association.
