I am not sure how to respond to this post. I posted the .pdf file just because I ran a search on it and it came up. The way I read the file is that the city of Dadeville was cited and just recently was cited for not making the required changes brought forth in the original citation.

I have a Dadeville address, so a a citizen, I do have a concern about what may be streaming into the lake. I can't speak for upstream because I do not live there. If you have significant proof of other communities that have been cited by the state for improper sewage disposal into the tributeries of Lake Martn please share that information with us.

The .pdf is fact, not a baseless charge that " well others dispose of waste improperly why not attack them instead of Dadeville."

The way I read the file is that Dadveille was found in violation, agreed to the proposed changes then did not follow through on all the proposed changes and were fined. Please help me understand if I missed something.

I am not going to get into a local/I live here on the weekend debate. I live on the lake year round. Of course if local citizens, who do not own land right on the lake have no regard for the water quality because they do not live on lakefront property, they are missing the big picture.

As long as the lake reamins clean it generates much more than if it is too dirty to use. I am not sure maybe there are some local citizens who get some sort of perverse pleasure in knowing that, in their minds " The rich elite are swimming around in my waste!"

I will continue to dig and ask questions. I may return to acknowledge that a big stink, no pun intended, was over nothing. If the City of Dadeville is compliant and are making the neccessary changes that were reccomended then the local government has nothing to worry about.
