Fallen Leaf Lake, CA

FALLEN LEAF LAKE CLEANUP

Project Goals

COMPLETE CIRCUMNAVIGATED CLEAN UP OF FALLEN LEAF LAKE

In October 2022, CUTL completed the first phase of a circumnavigated SCUBA cleanup of Fallen Leaf Lake, removing 7,946 LBS from its lakebed in just 4.5 miles. This second phase will complete the remainder of the lake’s circumference, which has proved to be one of the dirtiest lakes we’ve cleaned.

AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES + ALGAL BLOOM SURVEY

Our team will continue to record photographic, video & GPS data on all invasive species & algal bloom issues seen around the entire circumference of Fallen Leaf.

DATA COLLECTION, ANALYSIS & CONCLUSIONS

Our team will use our freshwater adaptation of the United Nations (UNEP) Marine Litter Categorization system to record data on all litter removed. The team will then draw conclusions on remediation requirements for future years.
