DISCUSSION
On December 5, 1995, the Texas Department of Health (TDH) issued fish consumption bans at Echo
Lake, Lake Como and Fosdic Lake in Oakland Park after testing of fish tissue samples at the TDH
Bureau of Laboratories showed unsafe levels of pesticides such as chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, and
PCBs. City staff has monitored these lakes in the past and periodically tested fish tissue samples.
Analysis of these samples by local laboratories has indicated a decrease in the levels of pollutants
Under State regulations, TDH can lift the fish consumption ban at these three lakes if the TDH Bureau
of Laboratories can confirm this decrease
The City will be responsible for collecting the fish samples and transporting them for analysis The
samples v~ill be collected in October 2000, and results are expected by August 31, 2001
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the Environmental Management Project Fund
