Lake Pollution

I am deeply concerned about the pollution at Lacamas Lake and its impact on our community. Elevated toxin levels are a serious issue, and current management efforts are not sufficient. We need a proactive approach, including safe and effective measures to prevent harmful algal blooms.

The collaboration between Clark County and the city of Camas, through a forthcoming interlocal agreement, sets a strong foundation for action. By working together with local agencies and leveraging significant investments, we can make measurable improvements to ensure our lakes are safe and enjoyable for all.

However, I am concerned about the "safe chemicals" proposed for treating the lake. We must reassess all available options to ensure our solutions are truly safe and effective for both the environment and the community.

I will advocate for transparent, community-involved solutions to restore and protect the health of Lacamas Lake, ensuring it remains a safe and enjoyable place for all. Let's support this vital initiative to protect our natural resources and promote a healthier environment. Together, we can make a real difference.
