I contacted the Mankato Free Press after I cleaned up German lake which litered with trash everywhere. I hope this gets out so people can see what they are doing is not only wrong but harmful to our fisheries and lakes. So here is the article enjoy!

Very nice read! Thanks alot Tapper!
Didn't most lake houses have a suer line going from house to the lake ? I'm talking about when they first were built all the way up to recent years?
-
Not sure about that. Our place has been there for a longtime. Might be something to look up.
-
Thanks for posting that and helping on the cleanup!

I read that article in the paper. I would think sportman who fish would be environmentally in tune, but I guess not. How can a person be that Lazy or not care what will happen to all that garbage when the ice melts. The feces left behind says alot about the type of people we live among. So Sad!

Oh yes, I forgot to say, Thanks for taking time to pick up what you could. Hopefully this will open the eyes of many and something or law will be passed to protect us from these sewer rats.

A buddy just told me that when Lake waconia was cleaned up last week the had 3 truck and trailors full of garbage.

It is a sad deal, a buddy of mine goes to Bald Eagle right after the houses are pulled off
and fills trash cans. Sad part is there is a dumpster right at the public access :banghead:
I went off the the city access last week on White Bear Lk. either someone else
beat me to it or they were pretty decent about it this year. kind of doubt that

Pdogg , I'm just pointing out there has been alot , alot of polluting of all the lakes around here . their should be some stiff fines but idk what they are now and i'm shure its hard to enforce it on people without seeing it first hand.

Household Sewer/Septic on the lakes and littering are two totally differant thing's. We are talking about littering which is people just being lazy and selffish. The septic problems stem from old technology and the money it cost's to make them right. It's alot easier to pick up your bag of poop and throw it in a garbage can then it is to drop 5-10 grand on a new septic system or city sewer and water!!
