Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements.

The project was initiated in March 2017 and a local committee of volunteers was formed to guide the planning process. The Advisory Committee represents a cross-section of Schroon Lakes’ year-round and second home residents, business owners, and retirees. Three NYS DEC personnel with expertise in Schroon Lake’s Forest Preserve area, and Dan Kelleher from Economic Affairs at the Adirondack Park Agency, were recruited to round out the group. Consultants from the LA Group and Trampoline Advertising and Design guided the Project Advisory Committee in the development of the Revitalization Strategy. The mission statement for the project was - “to develop a plan using Schroon Lake’s natural resources and assets to create an economic development strategy with actionable recommendations reflects this unfettered scope.” The scope of the project was broadened to a townwide project called the Schroon Townwide Revitalization Strategy.

    Water-quality Assessment Of The Hudson River Basin In New York And Adjacent States − Analysis of available nutrient, pesticide, volatile organic compound, and suspended-sediment data, 1970-90 By Patrick J. Phillips and Dorothea W. Hanchar _____________________________________ U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4065 Troy, New York 1996 i U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BRUCE BABBITT, Secretary U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Gordon Eaton, Director For additional information Copies of this report can be write to: purchased from: U.S. Geological Survey District Chief Branch of Information Services U.S. Geological Survey, WRD Federal Center 425 Jordan Road Box 25425 Troy, N.Y. 12180 Denver, CO 80225-8286 ii FOREWORD The mission of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is to assess the quantity and quality of the earth resources of the Nation and to provide information that will assist resource managers and policymakers at Federal, State, and local levels in making sound decisions. Assessment of water-quality conditions and trends is an important part of this overall mission. One of the greatest challenges faced by water-resources scientists is acquiring reliable information that will guide the use and protection of the Nation's water resources. That challenge is being addressed by Federal, State, interstate, and local water-resource agencies and by many academic institutions. These organizations are collecting water-quality data for a host of purposes that include: compliance with permits and water-supply standards; development of remediation plans for a specific contamination problem; operational decisions on industrial, wastewater, or water-supply facilities; and research on factors that affect water quality.
