A special thanks to TLEA director and LakeSmart leader Ron Armontrout for his dedication to making the program so successful for the 5th year in a row. The team performed 26 evaluations this year and gave 12 LakeSmart awards! Since TLEA started the program in 2021 we have evaluated 131 properties and given 35 awards.The LakeSmart program is voluntary and free.  Participating homeowners receive individualized suggestions for keeping pollutants in stormwater out of our lake waters. Homeowners fill out a questionnaire, and the team uses this information to provide recommendations in the 5-part evaluation.
