Corps of Engineers officials will meet with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment officials within the next couple of weeks to review the blue green algae problem at Milford Lake this past summer.

The lake was under a watch, warning or partial closure every week after the July 4 holiday weekend.

R. J. Harms, Corps of Engineers Project Operations manager indicated he could see coming out of the meeting some possible changes to how this is handled next summer.”There might be a little bit. One of the things we want to talk about if we do have the really high levels like we had this summer a couple of three times, I think we had closures at the north end of the lake. I think they’re going to look at that and how that impacts maybe the other zones. ” Milford Lake has three zones.

Harms added, “When we do have a closure I think we’re going to look at at least having a watch in the zone adjacent to that, right next to that.”
