As a Lake Anna homeowner, I am writing to express my concerns over proposed regulation changes to the HAB advisory protocol. Should cell counts no longer be a primary trigger, there is the potential for advisories to be delayed, creating a potential health hazard. The value of cell counts is an early indicator of potential HAB risks and should be continued. Furthermore, the need exists for a comprehensive advisory protocol that considers multiple lines of evidence, including cell counts, visual observations, and toxin testing. Lake Anna is our home and both I and our community are dedicated to keeping it a safe place for water activities. Thank you for your consideration.
