No clue if that applies to modern day.its algae and its seasonal.. worst months happen to be August sept in the heat of the summer when most tourist think of going to a lake.it was caused mainly by the run off from the pear orchids  ( fertilizers) that were not native.. and you hit it at the wrong time and yes its bad.. but not as bad as it used to be.. now a days its actually clear for a good part of the year. but a shallow natural lake like this will have a lot of plant growth.

I would add to those questions the following:Do you have any reports such as highest and best use, environmental, etc.Are there any known pertinent factors such as close to a dump, sewer treatment plant, airport flight path, train tracks, etc.Make sure you check with the fire department to see if the parcel has fire hydrants close enough, if not, do you need to add and how many and does the current line support the addition of more hydrants.

ACTION = seed planted (to get something out of the garden you must plant)
