I've had some people contact me regarding a report  on Lake Champlain International's Facebook page that lists Joe's Pond as having the blue/green algae bloom going on.  At the meeting on July 6, Dorothea Penar addressed that issue. She knows about the bloom, notified Water Quality people at the state level and they tested, reported it is NOT toxic but Dorothea is going to monitor it regularly and will report any changes. This is apparently a normal occurrence in most ponds and lakes and comes and goes without harm naturally. However Dorothea warned people to be wary and keep children and pets out of the water where/when there is a bloom. It should subside without any problems. I think Joe's Pond is on the list because she noticed it and reported it. You could contact her (802-684-1129) for details, but I don't think anything has changed here and there is no cause for concern, at least for now.
