Zooplankton enhancement of LW wouldn't be that difficult, and cost a lot less than $30 M. AK and BC fertilize many sockeye lakes successfully, and the co-managers have that option under the Baker hydro license. Of course the primary problem with doing that in LW would be public perception of it and DOE perception of it as a water quality problem. That should be good for a 20 year delay, if not a state law passed against it. But it isn't the same as dumping untreated sewage in the lake, although that is one way of doing it. But AK and BC have it pretty dialed in such that the nitrogen and phosphate balance is controlled to produce phytoplankton (algae) that is fed upon by the daphnia that the sockeye favor. Oh well, kinda' thread drift.
