I doubt it will get much use for the rest of the year with the cooling weather and shortening days. Weeds and algae will be diminishing on their own. That being said, we will be ready for next year and if a bloom hits we should be on top of it early.
The machine is capable of running in pretty shallow water but one thing we need to keep in mind. With our shoreline stabilized with large rip-rap we can not take the chance of going in too close and hitting the rocks with a moving conveyor belt, not to say the guys have done this in the past. Remember the old saying about an irresistible force meeting an immovable object? The conveyor will give before the rip-rap so don't expect the shorelines to be completely devoid of algae. It will look good, but not perfect.
