Year In Review
Water Quality
The BEAA has an established mission to protect and improve the water quality of Bald Eagle Lake. We have made great progress. Longtime residents can recall algae blooms and murky water prior to the Alum treatments, annual treatments for invasive species, monitoring of native and non-native weeds and other important water run off projects. Bald Eagle Lake water clarity has never been better!
BEAA and Association Members
These things happen through the leadership of BEAA and the active engagement of all of the lake association members. We should all be proud that BEAA is recognized and respected by the governmental agencies concerned with lake issues. Bald Eagle Lake has received multiple grants to help with curly leaf pondweed eradication efforts. We have developed a long-standing partnership with Rice Creek Watershed District and they have undertaken several projects to filter and control water entering Bald Eagle Lake from streets, creeks and ditches. This work assists with water clarity today, as well as to keep Bald Eagle Lake healthy for future generations
A critical element that supports this work is dues. To continue our efforts of being proactive for the betterment of our lake, we need your help and support through paying your dues. Paying dues is even more important this year as the Special Taxing District is no longer collecting fees through your real estate taxes. The District was established over 10 years ago by vote of lakeshore residents to fund the $1 million dollar Alum program. The residual funds from the alum taxing district had covered curlyleaf pondweed treatment in recent years, but those funds are now depleted , so BEAA will need to pay for treatments directly again.
We are excited about this progress, and our 2022 activities that make for a stronger lake community. We look forward to seeing you all on the lake!
