Came to our HLA board meeting and talked about the Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program. Attached is an article describing Home*A*Syst, Lawn*A*Syst, and Lake*A*Syst. I'd really like to get folks from your organization interested in these programs. Each program is a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL risk assessment where the landowner evaluates common household and lawn care practices as they pertain to water quality. Basically, I help residents look at different practices and help them determine if they present a potential risk to surface water and groundwater quality. I then help them come up with ways to reduce risk levels that are rated as medium or high. These exercises ARE NOT regulatory; they are strictly for the benefit of landowners who are concerned with protecting our water resources.

| I apologize for the tardiness of the changes that needed to be made and the information you needed. With my unusual schedule as of late, and the fact that my computer got sick, good news I was finally able to cure it myself. Took forever I feel but finally working! Judi |

| To ensure that local lakes are not further infested with exotic species from the Great Lakes, i.e. Gobi Fish, Zebra Mussels & VHA. The DNR recommended method of sterilizing boats ( using a 5 % bleach solution) prior to them being re-launched into Holloway after boating on other lakes around the state. The cost of gas is causing boaters to use more local lakes instead of always traveling to the Great Lakes and we certainly do no want any additional “CREATURES” in our waters. We have noticed an increase in the size of boats (not necessarily the number of actual boats) on Holloway this summer. You can click on the DNR website (on our link and information page) and they have a link and specific instructions we can use. Several Pontoon’s docked along side their docks have their boat motors resting in the water. The Zebra Mussel eggs are so small that they can and will penetrate the wire mesh in the lower units of boat motors and the eggs attach themselves and will hatch inside the motor (freezing it up completely) if the motor is left in the water for any length of time while not in use. A couple of summers ago the Brandon’s learned their lesson the hard way, at a cost of over $300.00 and the loss of use of their pontoon for sereral days while in repair. They now lift the motor each time they dock and rinse out the lower unit every couple of weeks with a garden hose at full velocity. |
| Reminder for all boaters, jet skies and sailors! You must stay at least 100 feet away from any object in water. This includes docks and rafts. The common misconception is the thought of being a 100 feet from shore. You can receive a fine up to $500.00 |
