That's what they tell you!

First my disclaimer...I am NOT familiar with Lake Heyburn, that project or frankly much of anything in OK (aside from driving through it).

But,as a geologist...here is my thought. You mentioned that it is manmade and has cattails. If there is drainage that enters that lake (or pipes) from agriculture there is likely a high amount of nitrates from the fertilizer. Cattails are great for removing nitrates and sand is commonly used to filter out other contaminates, etc. It may be a natural filtration system to keep contaminates from the lake.

yeah but there are cattails everywhere..and this area cant be much bigger than your average small bedroom or bathroom.

Its not a silo then. Those areas are big. It has been a while since I have seen one but I think they were like 5 acres give or take. More then likely a valve or drain.

interesting! why there though? its all watery and stuff.

I disagree. The government is covering up the only natural breeding grounds of the american platypus.

Boyd you have something for a platypus don't you?

Maybe the lochness monster is in there not ireland. I knew they lied to us!

Actually that would be Scotland...​
