No Work Planned - No Problem Found - Close SR. Class: SR Created By: Log Type: NO_PROBLEMFOUND Summary: Site visit to compliant WP. Contacting owner to recommend the establishment of educational signage. Details As has been the reported case in the past there is the presence of algae on the surface of this WP SCM. It is neither thick nor contingent, and at this point is not hurting the overall health of the pond. Though excessive algae can be detrimental, a balanced presence is crucial for overall health. Also, given the current time of year, it is not uncommon for algae levels to increase somewhat. Though a fountain or bubbler could be beneficial to abating the acceleration of algae growth, this pond was not designed to have one, per the approved construction plans. Many citizens visit and/or walk around this pond on a daily basis, so we have decided it would be a good candidate at which to establish educational signage explaining its intent and natural, biological processes. A link providing the method of acquisition and construction of the educational placard will be provided to the owner of record and/or the owner's maintenance contractor.
