This is our 46 acre lake in Union Dale, Pennsylvania today. Prior to 1990 during the month of August you would be looking at a lake that resembled a bowl of pea soup garnished with basil. The green mass gave the impression that it could be walked on. The year 1990 was when we began working with Aquatic Environment Consultants, Inc. (AEC). Bill Kirkpatrick attended one of our Lake Association meetings and explained how our lake got into a pea soup condition. The pea soup was an unchecked algae bloom. The basil garnish was a pesky plant called “curly-leaf”. Bill provided us with a plan to remedy the situation. The condition of our lake today is an example of the results that can be achieved working with these professionals.
