Watershed Management Plan (9 Element Plan)
A stormwater engineering study to control sediment and nutrient runoff that contributes to algae blooms and weed growth was developed in 2019. TO HELP IMPLEMENT THE INITIATIVES OF THE STORMWATER STUDY, AND TO IMPROVE GRANT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, THE TLPF IS DEVELOPING A NINE-ELEMENT WATERSHED PLAN (9E PLAN) TO BE APPROVED BY THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION (NYSDEC). AN APPROVED 9E PLAN IS DEVELOPED TO RESTORE AND PROTECT SURFACE WATER RESOURCES IMPACTED BY NONPOINT SOURCE (STORMWATER) POLLUTION. THE PURPOSE OF THE 9E PLAN IS TO EXPAND ON PRIOR LAKE STUDIES THROUGH 1) IDENTIFICATION OF WATER QUALITY CONCERNS; 2) DEVELOPMENT OF WATER QUALITY GOALS; 3) IDENTIFICATION OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) NEEDED TO ACHIEVE WATER QUALITY GOALS; AND 4) IMPLEMENTATION OF A STRATEGY TO SECURE FUNDING FOR BMP IMPLEMENTATION. THE TLPF HAS CONTRACTED WITH BARTON & LOGUIDICE D.P.C., ECOLOGIC L.L.C., AND THE UPSTATE FRESHWATER INSTITUTE TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN APPROVED 9E PLAN.
WE WILL USE THIS PAGE AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON DEVELOPMENT OF THE 9E PLAN AS IT PROGRESSES.
