The DNR was on Half Moon Lake Thursday to test out a treatment they hope will stop algae growth in the lake, and lakes across the state.

DNR Lakes Coordinator Buzz Sorge says the hydrated lime test attempts to control curly leaf pondweed which mixes phosphorus in the lake encouraging the growth of unwanted algae.

Sorge says it is in its experimental stages so the DNR is checking the water to make sure it isn’t harmful on fish.

If the treatment is successful, Sorge says it will be used across the state.
