Below are the letters of thanks that were sent to Senator Brown and Representative Boehner thanking them for their efforts which have resulted in $1 Million in special funding for projects to clean up two of the creeks feeding the Lake.
March 1, 2008
SENATOR SHERROD BROWN
455 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING
WASHINGTON DC 20510
Dear Senator Brown,
On behalf of the 700 family and business members of the Grand Lake St. Marys Lake Improvement Association, I want to thank you for your efforts which have resulted in the recent $1 million dollar funding of watershed projects by the Natural Resources Conservation Service in the Lake’s watershed.
As you are aware, Grand Lake Saint Marys is one of the most degraded lakes in the State of Ohio. Its hypereutrophic condition is primarily the result of runoff from the agricultural land which makes up the majority of the Lake’s watershed. The $1 million dollar funding for projects in the watershed will significantly contribute to reducing the nutrients in two of the six major waterways draining into the Lake. I hope that this funding will signal the start of the major efforts required at the local, state and federal levels to make the Lake a legacy that we can proudly leave for future generations to enjoy.
While the Lake Improvement Association is a non-partisan organization, I am sure its membership will consider your bipartisan efforts which have resulted in the funding becoming available when they vote in the future.
Sincerely,
William Ringo
President, Lake Improvement Association
