As the algae, invasive weed, and muck problem exacerbates year after year in our marina, we have finally found a viable, cost-effective, and environmentally safe solution (EGLE approved…previously known as DEQ): Bio-Health Pod Systems by Rigero. We recently met with the company for a demonstration of their system and it is of the Board’s opinion that we take the next step in the process. In short the system works by dosing, hosting, growing, and distributing billions of beneficial bacteria. These naturally occurring bacteria consume and digest muck on the lake bottom as well as excessive nutrients suspended in the water column. Installed systems have proven to greatly reduce muck allowing healthy aquatic life to thrive. Systems remain in place cost effectively continuing to reduce the muck. The Bio-Health Pod System includes a bio generator, a home basin for powering the generator, and satellite nano pods for additional support.

Our marina and access to Upper Straits Lake is an important and valuable amenity to our neighborhood, so we would like to invite all members to participate in a Zoom conference next Monday, May 4th at 7pm with the owner, Rich Baum, to explain the system and answer any questions or concerns that you may have. Although we would prefer an in-person meeting at the marina, we must comply with the Governor’s orders and avoid any large group gatherings. If you would like to attend the meeting, please email [email protected] to reserve your spot and we will send an invitation to you with the date and time.
