STATE AG OUTLINES LAKE PROPOSAL

STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, CHRIS KOSTER, IS RECOMMENDING SOME SWEEPING REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE CHANGES, TO HELP PROTECT THE WATER QUALITY HERE AT LAKE OF THE OZARKS.  KOSTER IS LOOKING TO FORM A REGIONAL SEWER DISTRICT IN THE FOUR COUNTIES THAT SURROUND THE LAKE.  IN ADDITION, HE WANTS TO FIND THE FUNDING TO ADD TWO FULL-TIME INSPECTORS TO INVESTIGATE AND ENFORCE WATER POLLUTION ISSUES.    THE PROPOSALS COME IN THE WAKE OF E-COLI CONTAMINATION THAT CLOSED SOME OF OUR BEACHES OVER THE PAST TWO SUMMERS.
