Aquatic Life:

 

As the cost of spraying continues to increase, Roger and Jim are meeting with a company whom has solicited their services to Lake Diane. They will meet Monday, then receive a take-off estimate from a map of the lake. 

 

Scott has received calls from the DEQ regarding the adjustment that was made to the lake levels. The DEQ stated that they have received complaints.  Scott is/has submitted all Hillsdale County Drain Commission documentation, photos.  The DEQ was mistaken in their understanding of the amount the lake was adjusted.  They understood it to be three feet, when in fact it is three inches, and water continues to flow over the dam.

 

There were two beavers trapped and removed from the channel between Yoders and Kays.
