Why: After its closing in 2002 due to pollution, Lake Herrick is finally reopened for recreational, experiential learning and research.
What to expect: Guests at the ceremony will be able to view the lake and walk through the restored landscape and renovated pavilion.
After 16 years of being closed to swimming and boating due to pollution, Lake Herrick behind the University of Georgia intramural fields is reopening Oct. 17.
Lake Herrick was opened in 1982 but later closed in 2002 from fecal coliform bacteria — an indicator bacteria that suggests water contamination from fecal matter. However, revitalization efforts began fall 2017 with goals to reopen the lake to offer recreational, experiential learning and research opportunities.
Now the time has come to reopen the lake more than a decade after its closing. The reopening ceremony will be at 2 p.m.
“This project demonstrates UGA’s commitment to steward natural resources and advance campus sustainability,” said Kevin Kirsche, UGA’s Office of Sustainability director.
The Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources has managed the lake and property behind it for the last 35 years, according to dean of the college Dale Greene. The college and its land and facilities manager, Mike Hunter, have overseen the sediment collection pond, which was dug out and expanded to catch sediment upstream of Lake Herrick and keep the sediment from entering the lake.
Pollution was a large factor in closing down the lake, but now, "we’re at a point where we think we can safeguard those who use the lake,” said Todd Rasmussen, hydrology and water resources professor who works closely with Watershed UGA to monitor water quality.
Rasmussen said the water quality of the lake must be monitored to avoid pollution in the future.
Kirsche said UGA plans to form a subcommittee to review and assess current water conditions and to identify strategies as needed to enhance water quality.
“Future phases of construction are envisioned to continue to manage storm water effectively, and engagement efforts are being planned to enhance the health of streams entering Lake Herrick,” Kirsche said.
It is Kirsche’s “secret hope” that “members of the UGA and local community will fall further in love with this place and will continue to protect and restore this and other natural treasures.”
Although motorized vehicles are not allowed, kayaking and stand-up paddling are viable options, Kirsche said.
First arriving to UGA 25 years ago, Rasmussen was able to enjoy Lake Herrick when it was still open. It “was a great resource,” Rasmussen said. “It’s sad they had to close it, but now that they’re reopening it’ll make a great place.”
He hopes to teach classes at the pavilion located there.
Guests at the ceremony will be able to view the lake and walk through the restored landscape and renovated pavilion.
