If you know you will have runoff from fertilized lawns and it is likely to keep occurring then it will be very hard to limit the incoming nutrients. I don't think in that case the constant adding of alum to the pond will be efficient or work well. That leaves 2 approaches. One treat with something to kill or limit the plankton (as fish are a small concern) or two look into one of the waste water/landfill products to bond P to the soil over a large area. May be others I am missing.
From the archives - Soil & Water test links
Soil Test Laboratories in Michigan Soil & Plant Nutrient Lab Michigan State University Plant & Soil Sciences Building, Rm. A-81 East Lansing, MI 48824-1325 (517) 355-0218 Although you can send your soil sample directly to the lab, your best bet is to contact your local extension office to obtain a soil collection kit and fee schedule. (The lab will direct you to your local extension office if necessary.) Your soil test results will be sent to your extension office.
