I guess the good news is, one less thing for taxpayers to spend money on to remediate.

FWIW, hydrogen peroxide is a fairly safe way to kill algae. I have a bird pond that hosts tadpoles this time of the year, and if the algae gets really bad, I add hydrogen peroxide to it (one cup for about 10 gallons). It's totally safe for the tadpoles and birds. Of course, that dude is going to need a whole lot more, and since it degrades quickly in sunlight, it's best to apply it at night.

Reflecting Pool’s algae bloom is the biggest in years after $14M renovation:

An analysis of satellite imagery of the Lincoln Memorial shows algae levels spiked days after repairs to the long-troubled pool.

Photos taken by EarthCam between June 11 and 16 show algal growth across the Reflecting Pool.

It wasn’t. But Trump spent tens of millions on a promise it would be blue. And it’s way worse now than I’ve ever seen it before.

Even liberals who see it are impressed. Just like all the other monuments and fountains Trump has cleaned up.

A reminder of how the renovation of the reflecting pool went with Obama:

PP, you don't know the difference between a repair and a renovation. A renovation is a vanity project based on desire. A repair is a necessity based on a requirement. The REPAIRS Obama received APPROVAL from Congress to use to add structural linings, upgrade the infiltration process, reduce the algae, and repair cracks. Now I don't have a problem with Trump's vanity projects because they make the city look better. My problem is the sole source contracting to friends and family at costs well beyond industry norm. Who is getting the kickback?

Which vanity projects are making the city look better???

the giant 8647 burned into the grass on the mall between the washington monument and WW2 memorial.

Yesssss

Hey look they made something green again on purpose

They painted the grass? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a stupid thing to be so awful at.

It won’t reach the middle because there’s no circulation system. They just dumped the chemicals along the edges and it killed the bacteria there. It’s not going to migrate to the middle on its own. The chemicals will burn off and in day and the algae will be back on the edges too.
