Thanks for the information. I applaud the many volunteers who monitor water quality on our Smith Lake.

I also am an environmentalist and want Smith Lake to be protected from the many sources of pollution. Some is natural and some is man made. Both can be addressed.

I personally am bothered by the extreme movements in water level. As the report stated, DO decreases as temperatures in the warm months increase. Because our lake is so deep, it probably can withstand the hotter summer temperature better than a shallow lake. The cooler temperatures from the deep water is what APC covets for the Gorgas Plant.

It is a known fact that "dilution is not the solution". The source for contamination must be controlled.

As lake levels are lowered, the concentration of the contaminants increases. This is not good during the summer months.

I plan to read this report in detail. It is an excellent source for understanding thermal pollution and other sources for contamination.
