Cliff was back
By now you should know that Cliff Schmidt was on our lakes Friday and Saturday. Tom Hickson, Jim Fruth and myself managed to get out to collect water samples before the treatment as requested by John Skogerboe, of the Army Corps. (Sample #1). And Tom, Jim, Jerry and I have collected samples #2 and #3 yesterday at 7p.m and today at 10:45 a.m. Tom will be out on the lake again tomorrow morning at 9 to do sample #4. Sampling takes about 45min to an hour. In all, we are scheduled to collect a total of 12 samples from each of the 10 sites. Tom has a pretty good number of volunteers.
I know it was terribly windy on both days that Cliff treated, but he starts out at 4:30 a.m. to take advantage of more calm waters and I noticed he worked later in the evening on Sat. when the winds died down some. He has a schedule to keep, but we all hope to goodness that this very expensive treatment does not get adversely effected by the high winds. Cliff seems to think it¹s all right. The liquid chemical application is very close to the water. He did the pellets on North Twin Saturday evening.
