Old plug Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Stock ranches in the water shed might have something to do with that
straw hat Posted December 25, 2013 Author Posted December 25, 2013 Stock ranches, septic tanks, wastewater discharge from some of the small towns in the watershed and fertilizers used on soy beans, corn, etc. Just to name a few.
minnowhooker Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Doesn't surprise me, I've noticed moss in the Cedar Ridge area were you never used to see it. What surprised me was the Lil Sac arm had the least with Springfield's waste water flowing in that one.
straw hat Posted December 29, 2013 Author Posted December 29, 2013 Some had asked about the values of other parts of the lake so I updated the map with as much info as I have. Hope it helps. np.xlsx

Old plug Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 It would be possible to lay sewers to all the areas around these lakes. I would cost miillions but it would employ a lot of peole. I have long felt that the. Goverment needs a program like roosevelts WPA that built a lot of The TVA lakes. If people could be employed the amount of money they are being paid could be put into a share deal with a employer. Where is government would pay a portion of the salary they get. There you save unemployment money, help the small bussines and help the community upgrade. Modern day sewer systems can be installed pretty fast. Here in my area last year they installed 500 homes on sewers between mid april and 30 september. I can ashore you it was not small undertaking in these hard Ozarkite hills.
straw hat Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 I always wished they had a WPA program so they could lay a trail all the way around Stockton. This would give be better access for bank fishing!!! lol
