Feds Say Higher Risk For Algae Blooms In Lake Erie This Year

The first algae forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicates a slightly greater risk for blooms to form in Lake Erie this year as compared with last year.  Forecasters say the chances depend on the amount of rainfall, which would flush more algae-causing farm fertilizers into the lake.
