Heres a little thing I found at AZCENTRAL
(Roosevelt Lake, AZ) -- The monsoon rains in northern Arizona are pushing ash and debris from the massive 468 thousand acre "Rodeo-Chediski" wildfire down into Roosevelt Lake, and officials say it could kill the fish in the reservoir. According to an article in the "Arizona Republic," scientists are testing the water which turned black by the debris to determine the extent of damage that could occur from the runoff. Test results aren't expected until sometime next week, but officials are worried that the debris could cause algae to spread across the lake's surface, cutting off oxygen to other life in the water and leaving the lake "dead" for months or years to come.
