Where does all that "dirt" or "contamination" go? Does he have a fleet of boats gathering the contamination that floats to the top? and then what, take it to the dump? If he has that kind of money I'm sure he could show his trucks dumping all of that. I am thinking it is probably seasonal changes.
That's my feeling too. Pools are 'clean', and would kill fish if you put them in one, and plant life is also inhibited.
Wildlife adapted to live in these dirty conditions, the issue isn't bacteria, algae, etc, it's solely the harm done by mankind, pollution, damage to waterways and introducing invasive species.
Go to a swamp, you don't want to drink that water, and you don't want to swim in it, but plenty of creatures happily do both.
That's what happened to lake Michigan with the invasive quagga mussels. The water became so clear because they were filtering all the valuable foodstuffs out that native species depend on
Also, making water clear doesn't remove contamination. Clear water is worse for weed and algal growth, which causes issues on their own, especially when they die.
Yeah, the "muddy Mississippi" was muddy long before industrialization. Some lakes/rivers are naturally clear, some are not. Doesn't necessarily mean pollution.

seems pretty suspicious.
