Stop dumping chemicals in State owned lake water!
The Issue
“Safe “ chemicals are being put in the lake I partially own property in Sweeney Dam Lake ( but the water is owned by the State) by a “ pond service”.
The herbicides are known to be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Other adverse effects are anemia, body weight decrease, bone, brain, cholesterol, endocrine ,heart, kidney and liver issues. This is being done in Rappahannock County VA.
Two of my dogs have now passed from sudden large cancerous tumors since the pollution started
This lake is a stream ( Hawkins Run) that has 24/7 overflow ( unless there is drought) and it flows for miles to other lakes, ponds and into rivers.
The EPA has licensed the chemicals being used but do not endorse or recommend them.
I’m asking for a show of support to ask the “ neighbors” to listen to reason ( I have 2 studies from aquatic scientist that state the lake is healthy) and stop polluting our waters that plants and animals need to survive.
