So according to accounts - the blooms occur when the water is warm (CHECK) and with high concentrations of phosphorous/nitrogen. Often as a result of lawn or stormwater runoff, or contaminants leaching from failed septic systems and pet waste.

What I find sort of strange is that the places it seems to pop up would not - at least in my mind - be the places expected. I mean the 2 locations flagged around Bear - not highly congested with homes or lawns for that matter. Bad septic systems?
