Title:Washington State Lakes Environmental Data Version 1.0
Publisher:Washington State Department of Ecology
Commentsheavy patches throughout lake, some areas with just fragments; Sunny, 0-5 mph wind. Clear water, plants cloaked in algae. A structure by the launch would spout water at regular intervals - home owner said it is a pump to water golf course and this was the pressure release? Pipe west of launch - land owner says sometimes pumps orange water into lake; orange stains evident. It stings his skin, he thinks it comes from the golf course.
