This property is a large planned residential community located in Bel Air, Harford County, MD. The community’s 0.5-acre waterbody is a stormwater management pond, and had all the associated issues commonly seen in these types of ponds

In 2019, SOLitude Lake Management was awarded the contract for a one-time treatment for a Colorado city’s 30-surface-acre back-up drinking water reservoir. The reservoir contacted SOLitude Lake Management with concerns of overabundant aquatic vegetation growth.

After a consultation with community members, SOLitude selected nutrient remediation for this lake's management program. This phosphorus-locking technology helps create water quality conditions that are less hospitable to nuisance algae and aquatic weeds, including Botryococcus braunii.
