Kewl. Since nothing can live in it, lets dam er up and build stuff around it. []

Here we go again. Spoon, if what you just rom the USGS "opinion" is true, and I think you made some big jumps in that interpretation as those remarks were part of a much larger opinion, then for heavens sake, WARN THE PEOPLE on KEYSTONE lake IMMEDIATELY and posse up the lawyers! There's money in them dang polluted rivers which make up most of what we call a lake. Of course most of the skiers, swimmers, fishermen, birds, turtles and fish would already be hopelessly poisoned and unavailable for witness. You could stand in for them i suppose. Irresponsible remarks. If you want downtown development fine, but don't trash the river anymore than it already is.

Hard to avoid.  Keystone can still support mud hens!  Talk to the good folks at the St. Johns & St. Francis ER about staff infections from contact with the Arkansas and Keystone.  

It's not the chemical pollution that's the big problem.  It's the fact that thousands of units of antibiotics make their way into the watershed, causing the existing staff and the added bacteria's to become resistant to treatment.  The lead and mercury is ok, as long as we don't stir up Keystone too much. It'll just hang out on the bottom of the lake, until they open the dam full blast and give her a good flush.

Funny thing is that our enemy the Zebra Mussel is capable of filtering huge amounts of lead and mercury out of water and trapping it in a mostly inert form in it's shell.  Funny how nature finds a way and we keep trying to stop it for "environmental" reasons.

Ok, I'll lay off now, I know you have your causes and agendas to pursue.
