“You can look at the beach here and you can see what’s happened to it. The boats are out even further. It’s getting critical, we have to do something with the lake.”
The watershed society hired the engineering company Stantec to test the theory and says it gave its stamp of approval, agreeing that filtering would block out the invasive species.
“We’re trying to get Alberta Environment to agree to restart stabilization with pressurized filtration,” Horner said. “So long as the Blindman River is above a certain flow rate, it works. If it’s not, it’s not even a viable solution. Up until two to three weeks ago, there wasn’t enough water in the Blindman,” he said.He supports another option: pulling water from an underground aquifer, the Paskapoo Formation.It exists underneath Gull Lake and the water it holds is clean and clear, recharged by the mountains.
“Gull Lake’s water levels are controlled almost exclusively by the variability of natural precipitation in the watershed. In general, central Alberta lakes’ water elevations have a natural fluctuation,” said Tom McMillan, a spokesperson for Alberta Environment.
