Possible Harmful Algal Bloom

The MLPOA has been informed that the Belleville Area Office of the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks received a notification from staff at the Quinte Conservation Authority Wednesday, September 12th regarding a possible Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) on Moira Lake in the vicinity of the boat launch on the East side of Highway 62. 

Samples were collected by Ministry staff in the afternoon of September 12th in order to identify the algae and for algal toxin analysis.  

For general information on blue-green algae, refer to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s website at https://www.ontario.ca/page/blue-green-algae.  For information about any possible health related concerns, please contact your physician or the local health unit.

The MLPOA will provide additional information regarding the potential HAB as made available to us in the coming days.

Water Quality Testing

At last years AGM lake water Algae concerns were raised. Our Meetings with Quinte Conservation & MOE have resulted in this exciting news.  The MOECC (Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change) confirmed that they have approval to do some additional water quality and related sampling on Moira Lake starting this year.  The sampling will consist of four sampling events, starting in May and running through to October.  They will be focusing their sampling at four locations on the lake and five of the main tributaries based on mapping provided by the MLPOA & QC.  Also, a one-time sediment survey at the four lake stations will be completed.  The sampling will be analyzed for general chemistry (nutrients), water clarity, arsenic, dissolved oxygen and temperature.  This is really great news for the lake and our residents/recreational users.
