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.

  • Amwa 2017 Sustainable Water Utility Management Award Application
    AMWA 2017 SUSTAINABLE WATER UTILITY MANAGEMENT AWARD APPLICATION PART I: UTILITY PROFILE 1. Does your utility provide drinking water only or combined drinking water/wastewater? Drinking Water Only 2. What are your water sources, i.e., groundwater, surface water, desalination, etc.? OCWA draws from two surface water sources – Lake Ontario, the Eastern-most Great Lake and Otisco Lake, the Eastern-most Finger Lake. Some additional water is purchased from the City of Syracuse, whose surface water source is the next Finger Lake west of Otisco - Skaneateles. The City of Syracuse operates under a Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD), while all OCWA source lake water is filtered. 3. Characterize your climate, i.e., arid, tropic, etc. Central New York is in the northern temperate zone, humid continental climate, characterized by large seasonal temperature differences over four seasons, including cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. Precipitation is well distributed throughout the year, although extreme weather events have been on the rise; particularly more intense storms with strong winds year-round, and variable and aberrant winter temperatures. 4. Does your utility have watershed management responsibilities? Yes, OCWA plays a role in the protection of the Otisco Lake watershed, and in respect to Great Lakes policy for Lake Ontario. 5. Is your utility a wholesaler, retailer or combination? Combined retail and wholesale 6. Are you a stand-alone utility or part of a municipal organization? OCWA is an authority; a public benefits corporation under New York State Authorities Law. 7. What is your governance structure? OCWA is overseen by a five-member, part-time (paid) board appointed by the Chair of the County Legislature.

  • Subsurface Geology of the Finger Lakes Region Henry T
    1 SUBSURFACE GEOLOGY OF THE FINGER LAKES REGION HENRY T. MULLINS, ROBERT W. WELLNER, JOHN L. PETRUCCIONE, EDWARD J. HINCHEY and STEVEN WANZER Department of Geology Syracuse University Syracuse, New York 13244 INTRODUCTION The Finger Lakes of central New York State (Fig. 1) have long been recognized as the product of continental glaciation. In 1868 Louis Agassiz spoke of the "glacial heritage" of the region (Coates, 1968) and since then numerous glacial geomorphic investigations have been undertaken (Mullins et al., 1989) . However, most previous studies dealt with surficial features and because of this relatively little was known about the subsurface Quaternary geology of these world renown lakes. That the Finger Lakes are deeply scoured and infilled by thick sediment sequences was known from bathymetric surveys of the lakes completed in the late 1800's (Bloomfield, 1978), a drill record of 1,080' (329m) of unconsolidated sediment at Watkins Glen (Tarr, 1904), and the publication of a line drawing of one seismic reflection profile from Seneca Lake (Woodrow et al., 1969). This paucity of subsurface geologic data has been a major void in our knowledge and understanding of the geologic history of the Finger Lakes. Many questions remained unresolved including the most fundamental -- "When and by what processes were the great Finger Lakes troughs eroded?" (Bloom, 1984, p. 61). Based on the one seismic reflection profile from Seneca Lake, Bloom (1984) noted that bedrock beneath the lake floor was more V-shaped like that of a river valley rather than the expected U-shaped glacial trough, and that there had been multiple erosional and depositional events.

  • 2016 Finger Lake Water Quality Update Report
    WATER QUALITY OF THE EIGHT EASTERN FINGER LAKES, NEW YORK: 2005 – 2016. John D. Halfman Department of Geoscience, Environmental Studies Program & Finger Lakes Institute Hobart and William Smith Colleges Geneva, NY 14456 [email protected] 12/31/2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The eleven Finger Lakes of western and central New York are critical to the health, well- being and economy of the region. The range in trophic status, size, water residence times, bedrock geology, land use characteristics, and other features revealed by the FLs present an ideal natural laboratory to investigate a wide range of water quality issues, many pertinent to the Great Lakes. Professor John Halfman, Hobart and William Smith Colleges has maintained a water quality monitoring program of the eight eastern Finger Lakes for the Finger Lakes Institute since 2005 (Honeoye, Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, Skaneateles, & Otisco). The program collected and analyzed monthly CTD profiles, plankton tows, Secchi disk depths, most recently, (2016) fluoroprobe profiles, and surface and bottom water samples for nutrient (TP, SRP, NO3, Si), chlorophyll-a, total suspended solids, and major ion analyses back in the laboratory at a minimum of two mid-lake, deep-water sites in each lake. Selected stream analyses and two autonomous water quality and meteorological monitoring buoys deployed in the Seneca and Owasco watersheds provide additional data to better understand the limnology and water quality issues in these lakes. Relative ranks of the surface water data indicated that Skaneateles, Canandaigua and Keuka Lakes have the best water quality (ultra-oligotrophic to oligotrophic), Honeoye and Otisco Lakes have the worst water quality (eutrophic to borderline mesotrophic-eutrophic), and Seneca, Cayuga and Owasco Lakes were in between these end-members (borderline oligotrophic-mesotrophic to mesotrophic).
