The Ohio EPA released results of a study about the need for phosphorus management in Northwest Ohio:
Lake Erie is challenged by increasing levels of dissolved phosphorus and harmful algal blooms. However, if significant actions are taken, the lake again can recover as dramatically as it did in the 1980s, according to the final report of the Ohio Lake Erie Phosphorus Task Force.
The report, released today by Ohio EPA, identifies areas for additional research and analysis related to how nutrients move from land into our stream systems. The report also recommends increasing the use of state of the art agricultural practices and using more care in the application of fertilizers and manure to fields.
Details are here.
