Acorn Lake Report: A Summary Report on the Acorn Lake Clean Lakes Project

摘要

Acorn Lake, Tennessee was assessed as being highly eutrophic, with internal phosphorus loading leading to poor water quality (thick aquatic plants and macrophytes and turbidity). Recommendations are: dredging, drawdown, controlling overpopulation of waterfowl such as local Canada geese, new sewage treatment plant with which all Lake Acorn facilities would link. The report was prepared in partial fulfillment of an EPA Clean Lakes Program grant.
