Cleaning Up Lo ....

[Guest csfishinfool]

If you look at the DNR website there is an interactive map that has about 100 locations around the lake. From all the way from Truman Dam all the way to Bagnell, and everywhere in between. This highest levels of E-Coli, according to the test are found in the Gravios Arm of the lake. This was taken in October. The Gravios also happens to be the clearest arm of the lake. The E-coli is not making the lake dirty, point blank. When its cold, like it was a couple of weeks ago. When it warms up everything thats has collected ice, snow and any type of moisture melts into the lake. Bringing in sediment from the Nianguas, Grandglaize, Gravois and every tributary that connects to the lake. And now that the snow that we just had up there has melted, the lake will continue to be dirty. If we go a month with minimal rain and snow the lake will easily have 5-6 feet of visibility. Just two weeks ago in the Niangua arm the water was as clean I had ever seen it. And in a matter of two days it was dirty brown. You cant just say that this is the cause for this, because its not. Anyone who reads your post could mistake incoming rain water and sediment for visible dung floating in the lake. This has to be made clear. DNR

I take back the part about the Gravios being the worst, the Tonka Spring is really bad, but after checking the whole map the back of the Glaize is unreal. while everything on the lake is around 20-40 mPn/100mil the back of the glaize is over 2500 mPn!!!
