Ron Siegfried On April 27, 2013, we held our 14th Annual Boone Lake Cleanup. The morning started out “really iffy” with cool, rainy conditions. But we learned that the weather did not dampen the spirits of our many volunteers. We received a report around 10:30 am that the trash receptacle at Jay’s Marina was full. Similar stories were coming in from Rockingham and Sonny’s Marinas. This year we collected a tremendous amount of styrofoam. Apparently, the old docks are breaking up and discharging their blocks of styrofoam. We collected an estimated 15,000 lbs. of Styrofoam, 10,000 lbs. of trash in bags, over 500 logs and 158 tires. The quantities were down from last year, but maybe that’s a good sign! Despite the weather, attendance at the picnic was great. We changed the menu this year to BBQ Pork sandwiches and hot dogs with rave reviews. The BBQ was absolutely great!!!! We owe a special thanks to Food City for all the food. We especially want to thank David Haaf. David is one of our newest Board Members and is our 2nd Vice-President. He works for Food City as Deli Department Manager for their over 100 stores. David is an important addition to our Board. We were also treated to the “Double Tree Hotel Cookies”, a favorite of everyone. David Haaf, Jason Hendrickson and Rick Miller Double Tree Hotel donated cookies Barbeque, hotdogs, slaw, chips and desert with Food City display food We would like to recognize all the volunteers without whom we could not organize and conduct the Annual Cleanup. It is a big project with planning beginning several months prior to cleanup day. T-shirts must be designed and ordered. The Washington and Sullivan County Sheriff departments are contacted and crew schedules established. Promotional and publicity campaigns must be developed and implemented, major donors contacted to solicit support, and cleanup signs updated with the new date Volunteers serve food and set up. The picnic menu must be planned and food must be ordered. Teams must be organized for all participating marinas and boat ramps. On cleanup day, volunteers distribute t-shirts, pick up, set up and serve the food, and cleanup following the event. The work is not over after the picnic. Several volunteers meet Monday to pick up the tires for recycling and other trash not accepted into the trash receptacles at all the marinas and boat ramps. Remember, these are all volunteers! Participants enjoy picnic Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We would like to thank the City of Johnson City for continuing to provide the four trash containers in Washington County; and also R.W. Edwards, Cox Disposal, and Waste Management for the four on the Sullivan County side. Also, thanks to Zak’s Furniture for providing the grand prize $400 gift certificate!!! Finally, thanks to all the volunteers who dragged themselves out in the cold and rain to pick up the trash. Your efforts produce a cleaner lake. We hope you enjoyed the food and the prizes. We look forward to seeing you next year! Special thanks are due to the Co-Chairmen of this year’s event, Dennis Willingham and Ron Siegfried. Before this year’s event, Dennis and Ken Bronner did stalwart work as Co-Chairs. Dennis, the driving force behind this effort for the last decade, has informed us that he will be unable to serve as chairman in the future. We are immensely grateful for all that Dennis and his wife Wanda have meant to Cleanup Day, as well as the countless other contributions they have made to the Boone Lake Association (Dennis served as President of BLA from 2003 to 2007). Dennis and Wanda Willingham working at this year’s and past cleanup day events. MANY THANKS!!!

It will stay moist, is easy to reheat, and you can easily remove and discard the hardened fat before reheating. DID YOU KNOW???? The Tennessee River system starts right here where our three great lakes…Watauga, South Holston and Boone start their trek toward the Tennessee River and on to the Mississippi River? What we do right here in our area ultimately has some effect on the Gulf of Mexico.

    HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY BOONE LAKE ASSOCIATION! SERVING BOONE LAKE SINCE 1983 Boone Lake Association is celebrating 30 years of working to improve the water quality and safety of Boone Lake. The picture to the left is an iconic picture of the shape that Boone Lake was in during the early eighties. Boone Lake Association was formed in 1983 and with the support of its members, has made vast improvements in the condition of the lake. As everyone on the lake knows, it is a continuous fight to keep the litter and wood debris out of the lake. BLA would like to thank all our members, past and present, along with our business and government partners. The picture below represents the Boone Lake we have all come to love and enjoy! Boone Lake association WATCHinG tHe WATERs P.o. Box 111 Piney Flats, tn 37686 april 2013 www.boonelakeassociation.org BOARD AND COMMITTEE HAPPENINGS BLA BUDGET As of December 31st 2012, BLA’s three accounts totaled $27,955. Of this, the Business Checking account balance was $14,297 (which included a $2,000 designated grant to Johnson City), the Capital Savings account balance was $10,774, and the Boone Lake Cleanup Day account balance was $2,884. Due to major expenses in the first 3 months of 2013, the Capital Savings account is now close to being depleted. This fund was used to purchase a new 60hp motor, a new storage facility located at Boone Lake Marina, new signage at the marinas and ramps, replacement of equipment stolen from a BLA boat, and upgraded containment barriers at our retention sites around the lake.

Tennessee Water Quality Control Consistent with EPA guidance, any Act stream or reservoir in Tennessee with an advisory is assessed as not meeting the recreational designated use. Clearly, if fishermen cannot safely eat the fish they catch, the waterbody is not supporting its goal to be fishable. Likewise, streams and lakes with high levels of bacteria are not suitable for recreational activities such as swimming or wading. Bacteriological Contamination The presence of pathogens, disease-causing organisms, affects the public’s ability to safely swim, wade, and fish in streams and reservoirs.

  • Another Successful Boone Lake Cleanup Day!!!
    ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BOONE LAKE CLEANUP DAY!!! BOONE LAKE ASSOCIATION WATCHING THE WATERS P.O. Box 111 Piney Flats, TN 37686 August 2014 www.boonelakeassociation.org www.facebook.com/boonelakeassociation Boone Lake Cleanup Day 2014 Ron Siegfried On Saturday, April 26th at 9 am, BLA kicked off its 15th Annual Boone Lake Cleanup! The weather was GREAT! It was probably one of the best days in our 15 years! The quantity of trash was about the same as the previous year. We collected approximately 526 bags of trash, 198 tires, 182 blocks of Styrofoam, 11 propane tanks and tons of logs. The large trash receptacles were removed Monday from our eight sites. On Tuesday, BLA with the help of the Washington and Sullivan County Sheriff Departments, picked up the 198 tires and took them to the Washington County Tennessee Tire Recycling facility in Gray, TN. All this was at no cost to the BLA. A special thanks to the Washington and Sullivan County Sheriff Departments as well as the Washington County Tire Recycling facility. The picnic went great! It was attended by over 400 volunteers. Again, a very special thanks to Food City who supplied all the food (Pork BBQ, hot dogs, salads, chips, dessert, drinks, etc.). This is truly a very generous gift from Food City! They have been our food supplier for many years. We were also treated again this year to those special Double Tree Hotel (Hilton) of Johnson City cookies. Thank you! The BLA gave away $2,000 in cash prizes to several lucky volunteers. The Grand Prize was a new Recliner Chair from Zak’s Furniture on North Roan Street, Johnson City, worth over $500.

    Boone Lake association WATCHinG tHe WATERs P.o. Box 111 Piney Flats, tn 37686 December 2013 www.boonelakeassociation.org www.facebook.com/boonelakeassociation BOARD AND COMMITTEE HAPPENINGS MEMBERSHIP NEWS 2013 membership in the Boone Lake Association currently totals 590. This compares with 580 in 2012, and a record level of 630 in 2011. Of the 590 members this year, 50 are new members to the Association. Our long term goal is for every resident around the Boone Lake shoreline to be a member of BLA. In the short term we need to continue to add to our membership numbers year by year. We encourage you to help in this effort by talking with your neighbors about our Association. There is power in numbers. WATER QUALITY Our summer testing for water quality took place in June, July and September. We tested 13 separate sites around the lake. A couple of the early June readings (for E. coli) were higher than normal due to excessive rain at that time. Heavy rains leach bacteria from the soil and deposit it in the creeks and streams that lead into the lake. For your own safety, if you choose to be in the water the day after a heavy rain, it is always a good idea to shower off soon after. Please call Ann Harrison (323 3887) if you would like detailed information on the sites and numbers from this summer. Our thanks to the City of Johnson City for their continuing help to test our water samples for E. coli. Also, thank you again to Ron Siegfried, Jay Wise and Jerry Morie for their help in collecting water samples and delivering them to the lab.
