For there lay the lake. Not a lake, the lake, the lake that had been featured in every single one of her father’s tales, be they stories of ancestors or stories of his recent days; the lake that had provided a countless number of shops around the world with authentic Icelandic arctic char, the lake that had started and upheld and would continue to uphold the Heath family legacy for every conceivable generation to come. Ice covered every inch of it. If the snow had been masters at reflecting the glorious rays of sunlight, the ice sheets were gods. Fjola could hardly tell where the atmosphere stopped and the frozen lake began - everything she could see for yards and yards was mirrored perfectly by the ice. The whites and blues and yellows and faint dotted greens ran into one another until they were one, one unit, one item, one color; the color of amazement. The landscape was hard and sharp and crisp beneath a world coated by a facade of softness and kindness and love. But most of all was its sheer emptiness.

: Larchwood Lake may not ever be the same again. The story about Larchwood Lake is not that uncommon. Without doing extensive research into possible things that could occur by lowering the lake level, the Larchwood Lake Homeowner’s Association destroyed the very thing they were trying to protect. Carelessness and poor planning are not the only root causes however. There are a number of reasons that led to the degradation of Larchwood Lake that happen to relate to more macro level environmental issues. Those reasons are poorly designed environmental policy created by the E.P.A., poor understanding of lake ecology by the managers of the land, and false confidence in poorly planned ideas. By looking at how these factors contributed to the degradation of the lake, hopefully we will be able to make more ecological sound decisions in the future.
