The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation will Host a Virtual Public Information Session TONIGHT, Wednesday, August 12 on Experimental Projects to Combat Blooms at Lake Neatahwanta.
Clarkson and SUNY ESF have developed new technologies to address the algal blooms that plague New York’s waterways.
Lake Neatahwanta is a 715-acre lake near the city of Fulton, Oswego County, used for recreation, including swimming, boating, and fishing. The lake has widespread HABs each year. Recent lake water quality data, collected by DEC, indicates the lake is eutrophic with high levels of nutrients, algae, and toxins associated with HABs. HABs on Lake Neatahwanta have been documented since the start of DEC’s HAB monitoring program in 2012, and typically appear in May and persist throughout the summer into late October.
