<<What do you mean "mined" with lime.>> Sorry I guess I didn't make myself clear. By "mined" I meant that in some lakes they dump tons of lime in the lake to raise the ph. This is meant to replace the natural limestone that has been eaten away by the acid rain not to be confused with what you were talking about.. Unfortunately as I understand it this would have to go on forever since even if the acid rain were to end tomorrow the natural lime stone buffer is now gone. When I said mined I meant "mined" like they might do to a harbor during war time.You know placing "mines" [explosives] "The harbor was mined" only I meant placing lime."Mined" was meant to imply that they strategically "placed" lime in the lake. Bad,bad choice of wording on my part. Sorry for any confusion caused. pez
