We have two lakes in my immediate area right now that are being
subject to fertilizer use for land owners. The lakes are so overgrown
with aquatic weeds (non-invasive) that you can't even start your boat
or move ten feet without fouling on the weeds.

The talk is that one of the lakes is going to be completely drained,
stripped of weeds, allowed to sit for a year, then refilled.

Pretty drastic and all because of overdevelopment of the shore line.
Beautiful lawns, crappy lake.

Being on Lake Hartwell we are subject to the Army corps or engineers
setback restrictions. Basically you do not own the properity to the
lake. You own the properity that is next to Army COE properity.

This creates a love/hate relationship as they dictate if you can have a
dock - it's size and any other access request. (walking paths, electric
to a dock etc) I do like the setbacks that they maintain as it keeps the
lake from having the trouble you are mentioning.

The rules are pretty clear on what one can do and what one can't. But
before you can do anything you better ask. I have to admit they have not
granted every request. But they have been very responsive to all my
inquiries.

Same exact thing with Lanier.
