This forest community type is rare statewide and extremely rare locally, and harbors a unique assemblage of uncommon plant species. (Image by the Bruce Gilman). Acknowledgments: For over a decade, the Ontario County Planning Department has supported a working partnership between local towns and the Department of Environmental Conservation and Horticulture at Finger Lakes Community College that involves field research, ground truthing and digital mapping of natural land cover and cultural land use patterns. Previous studies have been completed for the Canandaigua Lake watershed, the southern Honeoye Valley, the Honeoye Lake watershed, the complete Towns of Canandaigua, Gorham, Richmond and Victor, and the woodlots, wetlands and riparian corridors in the Towns of Seneca, Phelps and Geneva. This report summarizes the latest land use/land cover study conducted in the Town of Bristol. The final report would not have been completed without the vital assistance of Terry Saxby of the Ontario County Planning Department. He is gratefully thanked for his assistance with landowner information, his patience as the fieldwork was slowly completed, and his noteworthy help transcribing the field maps to geographic information system (GIS) shape files.

  • PCB, Organochlorine Pesticide and Mercury Changes in Lake Trout
    PCB, Organochlorine Pesticide and Mercury Changes in Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from Five Finger Lakes, New York State Lawrence C. Skinner1 Ronald J. Sloan1, 5 Samuel J.

May 2010 ABSTRACT Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides and mercury have been measured episodically in lake trout of know age taken from four Finger Lakes (Canadice, Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca) over an approximate 25 year period and from Cayuga Lake for nearly 40 years. Concentrations of PCBs, total p,p=-DDT, p,p=-DDE, total chlordane, trans- nonachlor and mercury increase with age of the lake trout until about age 7 to 8, after which the rate of accumulation with age slows. For all five lakes, concentrations of PCBs, DDT and metabolites, chlordane compounds and hexachlorobenzene have declined over the period of measurement by 70 percent or more. The patterns of declines are not consistent among lakes and chemical compounds. Keuka Lake has shown increases of several chemical residues in the last few years. Mirex, a compound not used in the Finger Lakes basin, had residues that were initially absent, then low concentrations near the detection limit of 2 ng/g were frequently found in the mid 1990's, but again became non-detectable after 2000.

P.O. Box 84, LaFayette, NY Nancy Mueller ii Acknowledgements The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (NYSDEC) Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program’s (CSLAP’s) expansion into the Finger Lakes was made possible by funding from the NYS Environmental Protection Fund-Ocean and Great Lakes Program. This funding allowed 22 sites on the 11 Finger Lakes to be added to the program in the spring of 2017. The program increased in 2018, with 6 additional sites on three of the largest lakes, Seneca, Cayuga, and Keuka. CSLAP in the Finger Lakes has allowed the NYSDEC to: (1) collect critical water quality data on these important natural resources, (2) assess contemporary water quality in the Finger Lakes in the context of recent and continuing water quality concerns, (3) make comparisons of the water quality between the lakes in 2017 and 2018, and (4) continue preliminary trend analyses for individual lakes over time.

In Central and Western New York, we’re fortunate to have 20 percent of the world’s surface water—the Great Lakes—in our backyard. The Nature Conservancy believes we have an obligation to protect and steward our fresh water, not only for environmental reasons but for the competitive advantage water provides us in a thirsty world. BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Great Lakes have a cousin in Africa’s Rift Lakes. Lake Susan van der Stricht, Rochester, Chair Tanganyika, Lake Victoria and Lake Malawi comprise 25 percent of the world’s surface fresh water. Lew Allyn, Naples, Florida Brian Baird, Buffalo The Nature Conservancy is helping Africans protect Lake Tanganyika, Bruce Bongarten, Ph.D., the world’s second-largest lake. Our Chapter is playing an important role Rochester with financial resources and technical assistance. Barry Boyer, East Aurora Lake Tanganyika is starting from a strong place. There are no invasive species, no water diversion Peter Brennan, M.D., threats, no major cities on the shoreline. Not yet. To help them, we are sharing the lessons we’ve Ithaca learned in North America’s Great Lakes. Enid Cardinal, We’re also learning a lot from our African partners. At Lake Tanganyika, the linkage between people’s Rochester well-being and a healthy environment is much more explicit. In the U.S., it’s easy to forget how Laurie Dann, dependent we are on nature. This winter, we had the opportunity to take a group of Conservancy Buffalo supporters to Lake Tanganyika to experience these connections first-hand.

The 25 counties of FL-LOWPA express their gratitude to Governor George Pataki and the New York State Legislature for support of the FL-LOWPA program. The principal investigators for this project were Elizabeth Moran, Ph.D. and John Roebig, Ph.D. of EcoLogic, LLC in Cazenovia, New York. Several individuals affiliat- ed with FL-LOWPA contributed substantially to the project, including county rep- resentatives Jim Balyszak (Yates County), Warren Hart (Ontario County), Charlie Knauf (Monroe County), Russ Nemecek (Onondaga County), Karen Noyes (Oswego County) and staff members Betsy Landre and Marion Balyszak (Water Resources Board)/. Mercury Print Productions in Rochester, New York designed the layout and printed the report. An endeavor to characterize water quality status and programming at the local level across a region as vast as the New York Lake Ontario Basin depends upon infor- mation from many sources. Dozens of water resources professionals at the federal, state, regional, county and local levels and water quality coordinating committees in the Basin provided valuable information that made this project possible.

  • Trip a GLACIAL GEOLOGY of the WESTERN FINGER LAKES
    A-I Trip A GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF THE WESTERN FINGER LAKES REGION Victor E. Schmidt State University College at Brockport Note: This trip and discussion are designed primarily for undergraduate students, rather than for specialists in glacial geology __ who are, nonetheless, most welcome. An attempt, however imperfect, is made to distinguish observations from inferences, hypotheses, and specula­ tions based on these and other observations. The number of proposed stops is probably greater than time will allow, and so selection will be made on the basis of weather conditions and the interests of the group. Route: Leave Rochester, 8:00 AM. Take Rt ISA south, through Henrietta, Rush, and Lima, to Hemlock. At Rush, Rt lSA crosses westward-flowing Honeoye Creek, carrying water from three of the western Finger Lakes to the Genesee River, which flows northward to Lake Ontario. At Sibleyville, 1.3 mi from Rush, the route crosses a broad, swampy, flat-bottomed valley, interpreted as a glacial drainage channel which carried a river of glacial meltwater eastward, along the front of the glacier. (If time permits, a slight de­ tour via Phelps Rd and Wagner Rd will allow a better view.) Directly west of Honeoye Falls, 3.6 mi from Rush, is an outcrop of Middle Devonian Onondaga limestone, the formation over which Honeoye Creek falls at Honeoye Falls. Long, streamlined hills--typical drumlins--parallel the route; the road goes over several, and a large one can be seen to the west, from approx 4 mi south of Lima. South of Hemlock, leave Rt lSA and take Rt 20A east.
