Description
Drainage into Lake Chabot, Vallejo California. Location: Columbus Parkway and Hwy 80... I'm forced to post this ugliness seen from the back side of Home Depot parking lot. Since Sanitation and Flood wouldn't give me an email address and after an initial denial that its NOT under their authority I asked for a referral agency; staff put me on hold for fifteen minutes.

As more algae and plants grow, others die.
This dead organic matter becomes food for bacteria that decompose it.
With more food available, the bacteria increase in number and use up the dissolved oxygen in the water.
When the dissolved oxygen content decreases, many fish and aquatic insects cannot survive.
This results in a dead area.
Algal blooms may also be of concern as some species of algae produce neurotoxins.
