James Pond Statement

I
I ttrint<cattle manure from my uncle's ranch is killing the frsh. I
found a lot of phosphatesin James Pond. Phosphatesare a
0)
kind of chemical found in fertilizer and in manure. I know that
the cattle ranch is just above the pond, and that they started E

keeping lots more cattle there seven years ago. I've heard that (t
I
too many phosphatesmake too many water plants grow. Water L

plants make oxygen when they're alive, but when they die, they 0)

take away oxygen as they rot. I think that the fish are dying
q

becausethere's not enough oxygen in the water. I think it took !,

o
a few years for the phosphatesto build up, then an algal bloom
happened five years ago. E
