Mr. Tom Kurak March 4, ]9t16 Page -2- This enables o>ygen breathings, ~icroorganisms and insects to feed on organic sediment ju~d~ a~; a snail does Jn an aquarium. Fish then feed on the insects. - In this way, lhe sedJm~,nt J~ converted into food for fish, and rapid fish growth occu~'s. Nutrients i~ th{, water are continuously being combined with calcium and magne- sium and droppi~g to tl~e bottom,. Continuous Laminar Flow Inversion also elim- inates acid,'4 at the botlom w?J_cb would otherwise cause nutrients in the sedi- ment to be recy¢:].ed into the ,,,ruler column and feed weeds and algae. In this way, thc' nutrients in the w~:e~ also become food for microorganisms and in- sects. Organic sed:imel~t (muck) bui]:l--~.;p is a consequence and symptom of dying lakes and pond~ whic]~ gradually r~d,~¢-es their value for recreational and aesthetic purposes. ~%ubs~quent].y~ ju.~l: as waste treatment plants seed sewage treatment lagoons with microorganisms to decompose and reduce sludge, we seed project lakes and pond~ with a special formulation called Clean-Flo Living Organisms (C-FLO) to b~o]¢>[;ical]_y remoxe ~bout one foot of muck per year from the entire bottom ~ To accomp]J,~d~ ti~Js rash 'via c~?dgin, g would be prohibitively expensive and much ]_ess attract'ire enviro~m~enta]l~~, In addition, dredging does nothing for water quality, nothJ~g for a[g~ae, a~d nothing to improve fish. To accelerate he rem~val o] phosphates and limit plant and algae growth, we add a non-to×ic~ buffered al~:!n ~ompound (Clean-Flo Lake Cleanser) registered with the 11~.%. E~vironme~tal ]~roi~ection Agency. This compound causes the phos- phate Jm the wai~er cohuan to be precipitated to the bottom where it is recycl- ed, along with existiag org~nb' sediments, into the fish food chain. As you probably know, weed tad'vesting does nothing for algae, nothing for or- ganic sed:i.me~t~ and nothing to improve fishing. Another water quality ~mpro'~e~nent strategy which has been successful is the app]Acat~on of -~ky Blue l~tke Dv~ This dye is inexpensive, safe for swimmers, and wJ].] en}~a~.:e the aesthe~ic~ of your lake. Moreover, the resulting blue color of tl~e ~.,'ater alter t-eatment helps to keep the incoming nutrients in suspension so that they ca~ i~ deactivated and precipitated via Continuous Laminar Flow In~'ersion and Ci ea;~-Flo Lake Cleanser.
