Algal Bloom

The Lake Resource Committee has been aware of the algal bloom that appeared over the last few days. At our request, Lake Management Sciences completed a shoreline survey yesterday and returned today (6/20) for treatment. The lake was treated with an algaecide. Results can be expected within 10-14 days of treatment. There are no water use restrictions with this treatment. We expect good results and are staying on top of the situation the best we can. As always, thank you for your patience as we work to improve the health of our lake! Get out there and enjoy the lake!

Boat Ramp Damage

CLCC Community

The West Beach boat ramp area sustained significant damage on 11/4/22 and has been roped off for safety. The work performed on the area was unauthorized by the CLCC Board of Directors. We solicited bids to remediate the situation. This work began late last week and will be completed as quickly as possible by an experienced contractor under a specific scope of work. It will fix the recent damage and complete the originally planned renovation of the area. Damages will be pursued for the unauthorized work.

As a reminder, all work on CLCC owned property requires written approval of the Board of Directors. Formal accurate information on board sanctioned activities is posted via our Facebook page , newsletter, email broadcast messages, physical message boards or at monthly CLCC board meetings.

Lifeguard Certification

LMCC is opening up their annual re certification training for Lifeguards to COLA members again this year.  We have received some inquiries on when we would be holding these. Attached is the schedule. 

 Please click here to view the schedule. The cost to COLA members will be about $80 per person. This program is open to COLA members only. Documentation from the member lake attesting that the lifeguard is employed by them and covered by Workman's Compensation will be needed. 

 Lifeguards should also bring a copy of their certification and photo ID. Checks should be made payable to Lake Mohawk Country Club. Pre registration is required. We ask for COLA members to make a first and second choice as LMCC staff will have preference. 

 A Google Form Sign Up list will be sent out on Monday, April 18th by Derek where managers can sign up their staff.  For those interested in sending their Lifeguards, please email Derek Pivko at lmccwaterfront@gmail.com.

 By the end of the month, we should also have a schedule for basic certification classes in Waterfront Lifeguarding and our In-Service Training schedule. As soon as it is developed, we'll forward to you for COLA. 

As always, please never hesitate to contact me should you need further information.

Lakefront Owners: Hydro Raking 2021

To:  Crandon Lakes lakefront property owners

From:  Crandon Lakes Resource Committee

Subject:  Lake Hydro Raking 

Dear Lakefront Property Owners,

We will begin a Hydro Raking project during the middle to end of October.

The areas that are being hydro-raked are the entrance cove, ball field cove, northwestern shoreline of the ball field cove, east side of the dam, and the east beach area.

To have access to these areas we are asking that any docks and boats on your shoreline be removed before the start of the project.  

We will stop by your home to discuss or contact you by phone if your boat or dock is in the specific target areas.  Again, the start date will be the middle to the end of October.

It is requested you remove any boats and/or docks during the weekend of October 15th or shortly thereafter. This will allow for efficient, removal of any organic materials surrounding your shoreline.

 Final preparations for the hydro-raking project are being made.  The project entails using a barge with a clamshell rake that will remove lily pads, vegetation, and organic materials from the lake.  The hydro-raked materials will be loaded onto transport barges which will then transport the materials to the staging area located at the entrance cove.  The materials will be unloaded into a drainage storage pan.  Then an excavator will transfer the material into dump trucks.  The dump trucks will then transport the material to an offsite disposal location.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to maintain the health of the lake.

Sincerely,

Lake Resource Committee
