RA to treat Lake Anne to clear algae blooms

Lake Anne has been overcome in recent years by algae blooms, and, to
try to restore its health, the Reston Association (RA) plans to begin
copper sulfate treatments at the lake in May.
A consultant hired by the RA recently gave a water-quality report to
the RA Board of Directors, saying this remediation approach is "not
an end-all, cure-all" to the problem but should be tried....
Steps that need to be taken to guarantee the lake's long-term health
include:

Establishing natural shoreline buffers to help filter out pollution.

Trying to control and stabilize the goose population in the area.

Conducting a fish survey, which has not been done in 10 years.

Monitoring the lake's health on a continuing basis.

More "low-impact" development.
