Explanation
(This amendment provides $200,000 each year from the general fund to address hydrilla contamination, an excessive growth, in Lake Gaston located in the Counties of Brunswick and Mecklenburg. The wide spreads of the hydrilla growth have affected tourism and recreation, especially water sports, fishing, and boating, in Southside Virginia's most prestigious lakes. Local governments are contributing; however, more treatments are required due to the steady growth over the last six years.)
