Final Statement
I guess you're right. Your data seems to show that phosphates from my golf course are draining into the pond and causing algal blooms. But I had no idea this was happening and there's nothing I can do about it. That's just the way the land drains around here. You can stop those sediment and chlorine problems, but there's nothing we can do about this one.
