That concerns us. Forty-four was a pretty good number and might be the best we can expect from that lake. But we need to determine why it went back up.
We're convinced it's not a human-induced condition but a natural condition brought on by wetlands and ground water. We'll recommend a re-classification of that stretch of the river so that it won't be encroached upon by human activity. It could not support a wastewater treatment plant, for example.
Bringing a lake around once it's been impaired is not an easy task.
