Platinum Lake Management is now consulting with the downtown Greenville Country Club Coarse Superintendent, Craig Harris as to a pond management plan, aeration, sedimentation removal & levy / dike / dam repair.

Craig has been frustrated with one of the ponds and has tried a lot of different pond &  lake treatments. This pond is different then all the other ponds on the course as it does not have a constant flow of water from the ReedyRiver purging it.

Essentially the pond has become stagnant and is constantly having drainage water added to it increasing the algae and nutrient load of the pond.  Craig had heard about bottom aerators and knew that a floating fountain was not a good option for the golf course.

Once we explained to him how bottom aeration was the key to unlocking the chains of algae, he asked for a quote for a system to be installed this fall.

Flow of water is helpful sometimes but in this second pond it is not.  This pond has turned into a sediment pond which is catching all the dirt once it hits this large body of water.  Sedimentation removal is needed every 7-10 years.  And logistics on a Golf Course with expense turf is a huge challenge.

The final concern was the leaking of the levy spillway which has been leaking for sometime.  To prevent further erosion the water level has been dropped and controlled by the valve pipe.  Because of the size of the levy and the design, costs are a big concern.
