"Our realtor advised us that one reason our property was
purchased was because of the pond. We have very much enjoyed
working with you. Your efforts provided many hours of great
fun and added to our knowledge base related to nature."

NPDES UPDATE!!
On October 31st, 2011, the general permit to discharge
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
took effect. This new permitting system will be required for
ALL lakes and ponds that have an overflow
structure. The NPDES general permitting looks to monitor and
minimize point source discharges directly into federal and
state waters, monitor excess or residual pollutants from plant
control activities, and sets national standards for
documentation and reporting.
This permit for Wisconsin Residents will be issued through the
Wisconsin DNR. All pond owners will still need to have
the NR107 Aquatic Plant Control Permit, but only ponds
and lakes with an overflow that isn't contained on the
property will need WPDES coverage. The permit for
Illinois Residents will be issued through the Illinois EPA.
Currently, Lake and Pond Solutions Co. has obtained statewide
coverge for both Wisconsin and Illinois so customers will not need
seperate coverage.
