(440) 286-9516We've been walking at Best Preserve over the past 3 weeks and have noticed that the water appears to be very muddy. Looks like it's coming from the pons just south of the lake. Is this detrimental to aquatic or bird life ?

Thanks for your report. Yes, I have been aware of this situation since last year, and we have been working with both the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and our neighbors there on the concern. This past February 27, the Ohio EPA even visited Walter C. Best Wildlife Preserve to check on the situation. They spoke several times with me about it and said they are working again with Fairmount Minerals/Best Sand on the issue.
