Premier Lakes reports algae and reduces compressor noise at Masters Lake; Edgewater planting delayed
Summary
Premier Lakes told the River Ridge Board on July 23 that lakes and preserves are in good condition though seasonal algae was noted. A cabinet cut measured sound at Masters Lake from 64 to 52 decibels; staff will consider moving the compressor. Planting at Lake E4-A is on hold pending agreement with the Edgewater Association.
Bill Kurth, representing Premier Lakes, reported to the Board that lakes, preserves and dry retention areas are generally in good condition but that seasonal algae growth has been observed and will be addressed as part of routine maintenance.
Kurth said the compressor cabinet installed around the Masters Lake aerator reduced measured sound levels from 64 to 52 decibels between the compressor and the screen line, which he described as acceptable. Operations Manager Shane Willis cautioned that "the issue is not so much about the decibels but it is the tone of the aerator," and recommended staff consider relocating the compressor. Mr. Willis and Mr. Kurth will coordinate further and report back at the next meeting.
Kurth also noted a palm tree on the shoreline of Lake E7A was removed and that planned plantings are scheduled; however, planting in Lake E4-A will be delayed until an agreement is reached with the Edgewater Association, and the Board reached consensus not to install Canna lilies at this time.
