Deer Lake Area Public Advisory Council was formed. A consent judgement for restoring the lake and for monitoring mercury levels in fish was entered into between the MDNR and CCI is 1984. By consent, Deer Lake was drawn down to the lowest possible level in the fall of 1984, killing most of the resident fish. In late 1986, rotenone was used to kill fish left in the remaining 90 acre natural lake. Carp Creek was temporarily routed around the lake to prevent downstream movement of rotenone during this process.
