Expensive phosphorus reduction equipment was installed to reduce algae problems in the river and reservoir.<\/div>\n<div>It is nice to be able to say the equipment is working. The money was well spent and perhaps other plant operators will be willing to upgrade to phoshorus reduction in the future.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lmvp.org\/jamesriverstudy\/jamesriver1.htm\">http:\/\/www.lmvp.org\/jamesriverstudy\/jamesriver1.htm<\/a><\/div>\n<div>Tony Thorpe<\/div>\n<div>Coordinator, Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program<\/div>\n<div>302 ABNR University of Missouri-Columbia<\/div>\n<div>Columbia, MO 65211<\/div>\n<div>Phone: 1-800-895-2260<\/div>\n<div>Fax: 573-884-5070<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lmvp.org\/\">www.lmvp.org<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 10:44:31 -0500<br \/>\nFrom: Steven Witmer<br \/>\nSubject: RE: [volmonitor] Information Inquiry Re: Watershed Management<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>Rick (and others),<\/div>\n<div>You may already be aware of this, but the Summer 2002 issue of the Volunteer Monitor is titled &#8220;Success Stories.&#8221;\u00a0 You might find some interesting information there if you have not already looked at it.
