Unnerving release of organic stained water and aquatic plant growth from Haydn Bog after 2 inches of rain from Hurricane Earl




The first picture was one of many "aquatic plants clumps" that washed out of Haydn Bog after the 2 inch rain of Hurricane Bob. The almost opaque brown water seen best from the Tibbal's dock was coming from Haydn Bog about 10 hours after Hurricane Bob went by. We have never seen this much brown water and it extended the length of Long Point then was head down toward the Portland Water District pushed by a westerly wind. The big question is whether or not the "bad" milfoil in the Songo, Muddy River, and Northwest River is washed out across the lake in this moderate rain events. How much organic stained water from other wetlands similarly laden with organic particles and staining is washing into the lake . How can the Portland Water District now change their tune and say that the Sebago Lake water is as clear and nutrient free as ever?

This type of water can be use to help the plant grow healthy. You can use as a fertilizer.
