Town of Alban Storage Facility Call to Order: Chairman Oksuita called the meetingto order at 9:00a.m. Roll Call: Chairman Oksuita, Supervisor Wierzba, Supervisor Zakrzewski-absent, Tracy Glodowski. Also present: Keith Hoffman, Tyne Hoffman, Glenn Bersie Lake Helen Culverts:Chairman Oksuita discussed theflooding problem with Lake Helen and water quality issues. Keith Hoffman is the Commissioner of the Lake Helen Rehabilitation District and has taken charge of the water issues since the blue green algae problem came up last summer. Water quality testing revealed a high level of nitrogen-which is the nutrient that feeds the blue green algae. In an effort to identify the source of the algae, the District asked residents to hold off on using any fertilizers. Additionally, there are eleven shoreline restoration projects this year to improve buffer zones and prevent runoff from yards. A sample taken by the swamp by W. Lake Helen Dr. showed extreme levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. The DNR came out and tested and they identified the culvert as the source of heightened levels of nutrient entry into the lake. Meetings were held involving the Lake Helen Rehabilitation District, Portage County, Chairman Oksuita and the DNR to discuss mitigation steps moving forward. The first step agreed upon by parties involved was to temporarily block the culvert that goes under Lake Helen Rd, which is the road that goes from Hwy 49 into Lake Helen. Keith Hoffman said that the DNR will run sampling throughout the year to monitor water quality and nutrient levels. A potential solution would be to install a temporary plug that could be used to block the culvert but also still be able to remove it to let water through if necessary. Motion by Chairman Oksuita, seconded by Supervisor Wierzba to work with Lake Helen Association to plug the culvert on the Lake Helen entrance road. The plug will be installed by Chairman Oksuita and Keith Hoffman on the north side of the culvert and will remain until there's a situation where the water rises within 6 inches of the top height of the paved road, at which point it would need to be released and allowed to drain.
