C X B N E I G H B O R H O O D What s happenng wth the namng of the Lesner Brdge? A"er the Vrgnan Plot reported that the new name for the brdge over Lynnhaven Inlet would be "Lesner," an ndependent sta>s>can's report denounced mstakes that were made n coun>ng the votes for the namng of the new brdge. The report found that Admral Jeremah Denton was the "clear wnner," wth 7889 votes and Lesner came n second wth 4506 votes, but because there was a man- made decson to elmnate votes that were made for the same person wthn 15 seconds of each other, more than 80% of the votes for Denton were elmnated and about 5% of Lesner's were. The way the survey was desgned was based towards people keepng the name the same. People needed to only clck Keep the brdge name the same and they were done wth the survey. Those lookng to change the name of the brdge needed to spend >me typng a new name. The Vrgnan Plot dd not know about ths un>l later. Ts the season for volunteerng! There are many opportun>es, wth our upcomng par>es and events, bmonthly communty cleanups, and other tasks that help the cvc league func>on smoothly. Please a^end the general mee>ngs on the 3 rd Mondays of every month, vst www.cxbcvcleague.org, or the Chesapeake Beach Cvc League page on Facebook to get up- to- date nforma>on on what s gong on n the neghborhood.

C X B N E I G H B O R H O O D For LAKE HEALTH Aeral maps of the four CBCL area lakes show large areas wth brght green grass (over- fer>lza>on) and bulkheaded shorelne. Addng excessve fer>lzer and not havng trees and shrubs along the shorelne wll allow fer>lzer, goose and other anmal waste, to enter the lakes addng nutrents and other problems. Lm>ng the nutrents that enter the lakes wll result n less need to correct the lakes by usng aerators or chemcal treatments. Vrgna Department of Envronmental Qualty (DEQ) reports that the results collected by the CBCL volunteers at each of the four CBCL lakes over the past fve years show some very hgh ph (above 9.0) and occasonally hgh temperatures (above 32 C). The ssue appears to be due to hgh levels of algae present n the water due to accumulated nutrents such as phosphorus. Ths makes the water very stressful for many types of game fsh such as bass to survve n. DEQ recommends tes>ng later ths summer durng a full (algae) bloom and durng the fall turnover to get a good dea of how much phosphorus s present n the water. Ntrogen s not as major a concern for nutrents as ntrogen can escape the water column through dentrfyng bactera. Because of ths, phosphorus s most o"en the lmted nutrent for many waterbodes ncludng lakes. There are several op>ons that can help and DEQ encourages the cvc leagues to consult wth a lake management professonal about aera>on or chemcal methods, whch can be very expensve. Agan DEQ ponts out that lm>ng the pollutants that enter the lakes means less need to correct the lakes, and stresses the need for educa>on. DEQ says the cvc leagues are n the best pos>on to educate the neghborhoods. It s cr>cal that neghborhoods adopt a smart fer>lzer program. Note: CBCL plans to mplement tests for turbdty (Secch Dsks) n May, and CBCL s workng out procedures wth HRSD to begn tes>ng for total phosphate (TP) at the same >me.
