Beware algae bloom growing on Lawson Lake

Interestingly enough, Lawson Lake doesn't have any farms upgradient of it, leaking nutrient pollution into the lake. The hills surrounding the lake are mostly tree-covered and there isn't a lot of housing up there. But it's a shallow lake, so that's probably a lot of the problem.
