And just like that, Summer has arrived!

And Just Like That... Summer Has Arrived!

We are "unlocked" and loaded, Pine Lake is now open! Welcome to what promises to be another great summer of safe boating and water sports on the beautiful Pine Lake!

Already off to a great start we just had a gorgeous and successful Memorial Day weekend families stayed home due to the COVID 19 lock down which made a very busy Pine Lake!

Lake Rules & Etiquette Refresher                 

Safety Refresher for Our New Members on the Lake

  1. All watercraft MUST move counter-clockwise around the lake.

  2. Operational Hours

    • Boats: One hour before sunrise & one hour after sunset

    • Boats may operate after sunset with use of state mandated lighting

    • PWC: Between 8:00 am and sunset

  3. Basic Safety Rules

    • Always remain 100 feet from the shore, boats, anchored boats, docks, rafts, and other structures

    • No wake allowed within 200 feet of any dock, boat, raft, shoreline, buoyed or occupied swim area.

    • If you wakeboard, operate your boat in the larger bay to reduce the stirring of lake sediment.

    • Note there is a large boulder, near the sandbar, that is marked with a bouy - you will want to avoid it.

    • Anyone under the age of 14 years may not legally operate a PWC

    • All PWC operators must have a DNR Watercraft Safety Lanyard in place

    • Do not cross within 200 feet behind another watercraft

    • Never have more people in your boat or PWC than allowed by the manufacturer

    • Please take your trash with you and do not leave it in Pine Lake.

Outcomes of the 2020 Annual Meeting                     

We held the first virtual Annual Meeting on May 7, 2020 via zoom video conferencing due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

Scientist, Dr. Jude, reported that Pine Lake maintained it's water quality and made certain recommendations to improve it.

Scientist Gabby Mitzner of Keiser & Associates, shared aquatic weed reports indicating the Savin Lake Services treatments stopped invasive Eurasian mil-foil growth. Click below to see specifics.

Members voted to support 4 motions: (1) bylaw amendments to allow for electronic meetings; (2) the budget with same dues as 2019; (3) minutes and; (4) re- election of four incumbent board members as proposed by the nominating committee. 

See the water-quality report, video of the meeting, power point slideshow and all adopted documents HERE.

Pine Lake Fireworks - Wednesday, July 1 at dusk.

If you shoot your own fireworks over the lake, please remove the debris from the lake the next day - it leeches toxins that we don't want or need.

Gentle Reminders…

If you see a boat incident or problem boater, then video the situation or try to get an MC number and email info to jexv@oakgov.com

If emergency, call 9-1-1. Get as much information as you can to report.


New Research Data Protecting Water Quality

Outdoor Lighting – Recent studies show that night lighting inhibits zoo plankton from eating surface algae causing more algae blooms that kill aquatic life.

Outcome- Point down toward the land and not the water. Use motion sensors and lights that do not shine or reflect across the lake. Aim your lighting down and illuminate only the smallest area of your property.

*** The Pine Lake Manor Beach Association has done a great job with their lighting.

Firework Debris - Recent studies show that debris from fireworks leach harmful chemicals into the water affecting water quality and habitat.

Outcome - Homeowners who display their own fireworks should know the township ordinance allows it a couple of days before and after July 4.
Should your family do this, next day, kindly remove your firework debris from your shoreline.

April 16 Update: Geese Nest & Egg Help

Assistance Needed in Locating Geese Nests…

We Need Your Assistance

Locating Geese Nests

  • Our Pine Lake Management Plan, under the guidance of experts, calls for controlling the number of geese as one of many ways to protect water quality and reduce E coli. Goose Busters is our DNR permitted vendor that collects the goose eggs.

  • Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order prohibits Goose Busters from using a motorized boat. We appealed for an exemption which the Governor denied.

  • We need your help - please provide a description and address where the nests are located to info@pinelakeMI.com

  • Goose Busters will collect the eggs starting April 20th, which can only be collected during the next 3 weeks. Goose Busters may need to access your property.

A shout-out to Township Supervisor Steve Kaplan for writing a letter on our behalf to the Governor asking for an exception. The Governor denied Kaplan’s request. See Supervisor Kaplan's letter here.

No fertilizer.jpg

NO FERTILIZER ORDINANCE

  • No fertilizing at all from October 1 to May 1

  • May 2 to September 30 - No fertilizing within 50 feet of the water's edge.

These West Bloomfield Fertilizer Codes are enforced by code enforcement officers who watch for the fertilizer trucks in neighborhoods. As they say what goes on the ground, ends up in the lake and grows weeds. If you have a lawn service contractor tell them to abide by this code. Thank You!

Our goals for the website were to to make it easier for our community to:


SPRING IS HERE

Three ACTION ITEMS for our community to support a healthy lake ecosystem - HERE

Electric vs Natural Lighting…DID YOU KNOW?

  • Recent studies show that light pollution around lakes (night illumination) inhibits zoo plankton from eating surface algae causing algae blooms that kill aquatic life and lower water quality.

  • Do your part for the lake by using lights that have motion sensors and do not shine or reflect across the lake surface.

  • Reduce the wattage of exterior bulbs near the lake front.

  • Michigan Riparian Magazine recommends: Aim your lighting down and illuminate only the smallest area, with wattage no greater than that needed for visibility and safety.

  • Light only your property, not your neighbor’s property.

Great News - Eurasian Water Milfoil Has Decreased!

success.jpg

GREAT NEWS!

 

EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL HAS DECREASED!

Keiser and Associates, a limnology group and our specialist, Dr. Pullman, reported the invasive aquatic Eurasian Milfoil (EM) "has reduced significantly throughout much of Pine Lake". He went on to say "when comparing the early 2019 survey to the late season survey EM has lessened significantly". "Biodiversity, structural diversity and nuisance conditions all seem to have improved from 2018 when comparing both 2018 and 2019 early season surveys". 

This means the herbicide treatments were effective. 

Please note: We will have pods of EM on the lake in areas where lakefront homeowners have not given permission to treat, but in the other areas, EM has significantly lessened.

NEW STATE LAW FOR BOAT LAUNCHING

A new state law, effective in March of this year, requires boaters to do the following before transporting any watercraft over land:

  • Remove all drain plugs from bilges, ballast tanks, and live wells.

  • Drain all water from any live wells and bilges.

  • Ensure that the watercraft, trailer, and any conveyance used to transport the watercraft or trailer are free of aquatic organisms, including plants.

Read more about this new law...


REPORT IT!

If you see poor lake behavior, an unlawful boater or an accident, get the MC number and report it to the Oakland County Sheriff. Our officer may be on the lake but not see the incident that you see.

Call 248 858 4950, press #8 to speak directly to a dispatch officer.    

Although we have sheriff presence on the lake, the officer is not always on patrol so members must be vigilant in the interest of safety. Let's send a message that unlawful behavior will not be tolerated by the sheriff or YOU.


Enjoy the INCREDIBLE Colors as We Transition into Fall

PLPOA’s weed harvest vendor, SAVIN Lake Services, began the process of harvesting and collecting surface weeds on July 15. The process took over a week to complete…

JULY WEED CUT COMPLETED

PLPOA’s weed harvest vendor, SAVIN Lake Services, began the process of harvesting and collecting surface, healthy, pond weed on July 15. The process took over a week to complete. The good news is, we have an abundance of natural healthy weeds on the lake. Savin cut, removed and hauled away, thousands of pounds of weeds. The area of focus for the weed harvest was along the boat path, for the entire lake. Weed harvesting is an expensive service that your PLPOA dues pay for.


Pine Lake Dues 1.jpg
 

DID YOU PAY YOUR ANNUAL DUES?

Invoices were mailed to Pine Lake Homeowner Association Presidents, Pine Lake Country Club, Pine Lake Marina and lake front Riparians last month, June 2019.

If you did not get notice for payment of your annual PLPOA dues, contact your Association leader. Riparians who did not receive an invoice please contact Gary Ludwiczak at glud@comcast.net

Your dues play a very important role in helping to maintain our Pine Lake. 

Did you know that Pine Lake is rated at #8 (with 10 being the highest rating) by Dr's Jude and Pullman? We believe our rating is in part, a direct reflection of the guidance we receive from our lake management specialists.

Pine Lake Wake Boat.jpg

ATTENTION WAKE BOATS

Wave Boarding - We ask anyone with boats designed for wave boarding to only use the large portion of the lake, and to stop wave boarding as you return to the small westerly part of Pine Lake. 

We are getting numerous reports of damage to docks and sea walls in the narrow passage between the two sections of Pine Lake. (Interlaken and Pine Lake Road) 

We ask you to respect these requests in the interest of costly repairs to those homeowners.

Thank You!

Please Share the Acquatic 2-4-D Weed Treatment Dates With Your Neighbors

Check the PLPOA facebook page for Updates

PLPOA FACEBOOK  

 

Details for Homeowners, Swimmers and Boaters:

Weather permitting the 2-4-D aquatic weed herbicide granules will be dropped over the top of the aquatic invasive Eurasian Milfoil weed beds on Mon. June 17, by Savin Lake Services, LLC.(weather date is Tuesday, June 18)

If Monday is a windy day, the treatment will be moved to Tuesday. If Tuesday it is windy, treatment will be rescheduled. Check the PLPOA facebook page to confirm treatment. PLPOA FACEBOOK

2- 4- D aquatic weed herbicide will be applied where the milfoil is present & we have owner permission to treat.

For those who draw water from the lake for a sprinkler system, the directions from the 2-4-D manufacturer says no watering for 14 days. However, Paul Barber from Savin Lake Services stated that we are applying the same herbicide that you put on your lawns in weed & feed to kill dandelions. The 2-4-D will not kill established lawns, it is recommended to shut off the zones for ornamental flowers as they are Dicots which the 2-4-D can kill.

Resources for 2-4-D aquatic weed treatment - click here for more information about 2-4-D

Sprinkler Systems drawing water from the lake - Every PLPOA homeowner must make an individual decision about watering, however, PLPOA has not received any reported issues with drawing water from the lake for watering after the 3rd day time frame has passed.

As in past years the intake for most watering systems is 75-100 feet from the treatment areas.

Savin suggests NO BOATING or SWIMMING for 24 Hours after treatment so the granules that are sprinkled over the top of the weed beds are not disturbed. Again, watch the PLPOA Facebook for updates.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping PLPOA manage the aquatic invasive weeds in Pine Lake.
