Lakewatch Summer 2017 Seneca Lake Action Planning Is Underway; Forum Planned for Later This Year By Rick Weakland

Background Seneca Lake is the largest of the by water volume. Its watershed includes parts of five counties and 40 towns and villages. 80,000 people in 22 of these municipalities rely upon the lake for their drinking water. Recently, a number of forums have produced information suggesting that the quality of the lake water is degrading. In a December, 2016 report, John Halfman from Hobart & William Smith Colleges, who has been studying water quality in the Finger Lakes for many years, indicated that Seneca Lake has declined in water quality and clarity since the late 1990s, largely due to nutrient loading. The Seneca Lake Watershed Plan completed in 2012 indicates Seneca Lake receives a significant increase in phosphorous, which continues to fertilize additional algal growth. In the past two years (2015 and 2016), the lake has experienced potentially harmful algae blooms (HABs). Monitoring of streams by Seneca Lake Pure Waters suggests the potential sources of excessive nutrients, but further work is required to pinpoint causes and to identify what must be done. Weather trends including warmer temperatures and stronger storm events, have created significant run-off and related plumes in the lake, may have a further negative impact on these trends. Other than the potential impacts of nutrient loading and its effects on the drinking water supply, the regional economy is substantially affected by tourism. Municipalities rely on tax dollars generated by tourism-related businesses and the property values of residences near the lake for the majority of their revenues – the point being that an unhealthy lake can impact on the local economy! The Seneca Inter-municipal Organization, Seneca Lake Pure Waters Association and stakeholders involved in both groups have independently concluded that a focus on nutrient loading priorities, including the implications of agricultural run-off, storm water or erosion related run-off, and sanitary system (municipal and residential) effluent is appropriate at this time.

Action Planning Process Step One: a benchmarking process intended to research: 1) What other lake organizations have done that have had a positive impact on similar nutrient loading problems. 2) How these impacts were measured or evaluated.

Step Two: there are numerous county and regional groups (Soil Conservation Service, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Finger Lakes Institute, etc.) involved with various aspects of protecting the lake, some of whom are already conducting projects or programs that address the nutrient loading priorities. These agencies need to be consulted so a collaborative plan can be developed. We strive to achieve well-defined roles and responsibilities, a watershed-wide strategy and a continuation of monitoring to understand conditions in the lake and the impact of these efforts.

2 Lakewatch Summer 2017 Step Three: a preliminary action plan, including a plan for accessing any necessary resources, should be developed. The focus may be educational and intended to broaden involvement by agencies, municipalities, residents and possibly visitors to implement and evaluate best practices identified during the benchmarking and review processes. The best practices identified need to be translated into programs appropriate for implementation by the collaborative effort that emerges from Step Two. Step Four: on a continuous basis, utilize the experiences associated with any implementation projects pursued and continued interaction with the other lake organizations to refine and improve the action plan. Step Five: pursue funding for the development of a formal, comprehensive lake/watershed management and protection plan that incorporates the results from Steps One through Four.

Preliminary Action Plan Ideas From reading Diet for a Small Lake, a book published by the State Federation of Lake Associations, any plan for addressing the nutrient loading priorities that have been identified for Seneca Lake should likely include the following:

1) A focus on education programs targeting best practices related to management of municipal roadside ditches, best management practices by farms to reduce nutrient run-off, vegetative buffers between streams and any land uses that create the potential for erosion downstream, and appropriate regulations for managing on-site septic systems;

2) Lake friendly certification programs to recognize municipalities, farmers, developers and residents who follow the best practices identified above;

3) Collaboration with the Finger Lakes Land Trust to establish conservation easements in areas where buffers between the land uses and streams may be needed, but require an economic incentive to be workable for the land owners;

4) Pilot projects, most likely in partnership with Soil Conservation Service or other local agencies, to demonstrate or test approaches to reduce nutrient loading along streams identified as contributing excessive nutrients to the Lake and other point and non-point source remedial actions.

The overarching strategy for the above, which also comes from Diet for a Small Lake, is to engage a broad spectrum of people and organizations in these efforts, to focus on education as the vehicle to do this, and to maintain a monitoring effort and related metrics for lake and stream health in order to understand and guide our actions and provide a basis for continuous improvement.

To build legitimacy for this plan and to create the necessary collaborative framework to implement it, we intend to conduct a forum consisting of watershed and lakefront property owners, farmers and other large landowners, municipal officials (from Seneca IO), conservation agency staff, scientists knowledgeable about lake ecology and regulatory officials. More details on this forum, to be held late this fall or early winter will follow.

Fiscal Year 2016- 2017 Financial Report Frank Case, Treasurer At year-end, assets of the corporation were $113,585.38 with no outstanding liabilities. Donation income totaled $41,640.85 and expenses were held to $25,501.75.

Stream Monitoring By Dan Corbett SLPWA’s stream monitoring project is now in its fourth year of activity. Our team of roughly 80 volunteers continue to sample , Big Stream, Keuka Outlet and Reeder Creek at several locations, from the headwaters to the mouth at Seneca Lake. Kashong Creek was added late last year, making a total of five streams now sampled. Our partner in this effort, Community Science Institute, of Ithaca, NY, continues to run the certified laboratory tests for key measures of water quality, and to help with interpretation of results. Investigative sampling sites have been added over time to better understand the source of issues found in certain streams. Keuka Outlet has very good water quality near , but shows very high levels of nutrients and bacteria at downstream locations, especially during heavy rain flows. Testing of Jacobs Brook, which runs through Penn Yan, showed it to be a significant contributor to those issues. Also, testing of the Penn Yan waste water treatment plant (WWTP) effluent on the Outlet has shown very high levels of both nutrients and bacteria. A sampling site was added to Big Stream to better isolate the effects of the Dundee WWTP. The effluent from the plant has been sampled and tested, in cooperation with village officials. Very high levels of nutrients and bacteria are evident, even as the plant operates within its DEC SPDES discharge permit requirements. The village has now contracted an engineering study of the aging WWTP plant. SLPWA continues to await the EPA review of New York's "Proposed Final" 303(d) List of impaired water bodies, which includes Reeder Creek for phosphorus. A decision to include Reeder on the EPA list can instigate actions to better understand the source(s) of phosphorus and set mitigation actions. Our findings on the major streams feeding Seneca Lake continue to show high levels of nutrients inflow (forms of phosphorus and nitrogen that act as fertilizer in the lake) that act to increase the weed and algae growth in the lake. High levels of E.coli and coliform bacteria have also been identified in laboratory testing and which is health concern for recreational contact and drinking water sources. SLPWA continues this work to better understand and isolate contributors to pollution in Seneca Lake, and to instigate improvement actions. SLPWA would like to thank the volunteers that support this effort, and to our financial sponsors the Tripp Foundation and Fresh Water Futures.

When in Doubt, Stay Out and Alert SLPWA! Cyanobacteria, often called blue-green algae, are found in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers in low numbers. When the right conditions are present (nutrients, sunlight, temperature, wind), the numbers of blue-green algae may dramatically multiply or “bloom”. Harmful Algae Blooms or HABs produce chemical toxins. If individuals or animals have been exposed to HABs and are experiencing adverse health effects, they should seek immediate medical attention.

What do HABs look like? HABs have different colors and looks. Some colors are green, blue-green, brown, black, white, purple, red and black. They can look like film, crust or puffballs at the surface. They also may look like grass clippings or dots in the water. Some HABs look like spilled paint, pea soup, foam, wool, streaks or green cottage cheese curd.

Report suspicious algae blooms to the Seneca Lake HABs Hotline!

New Lake Monitoring Project By Dan Corbett

SLPWA volunteers will begin a new water quality monitoring project this summer, as part of the New York State Federation of Lakes Association (NYSFOLA) program that will include all 11 Finger Lakes. State monies have been made available through the new DEC Finger Lakes Hub, which has been established due to water quality concerns that have arisen in recent years. Sampling will begin in June, and be done every 2 weeks for 8 total sessions through September. Observations will be made of conditions and perceived water quality, water clarity will be measured, and water samples will be taken for lab testing near surface and at a prescribed depth of 18 meters. Water temperatures will be recorded, and the samples will be processed for shipment to the lab. Forms of phosphorous and nitrogen will be measured, along with pH, conductance, and chlorophyll (and algae indicator). DEC scientists will analyze data and a lake report will be made available in the spring of 2018.

Only two sites will be monitored in 2017, one at the north end of the lake between Kashong Point and Reeder Creek area. The other is mid-lake, off the Severne Point area. SLPWA intends to add more sites in future to better measure the water quality of the entire lake. SLPWA is excited to embark on this new effort to gain a better understanding of the status of Seneca Lake.

Fish Kill Update from NYS DEC Over the past few weeks, various size fish kills have been observed around Seneca Lake. The predominant species seems to be the “sawbelly”. The sawbelly is the fresh water version of the alewife which are members of the herring family.

Fishermen are generally reporting very large and numerous schools of these bait fish, as observed on their sonar depth/fish finders. The population of these fish would seem to be at a high point. On a large lake like Seneca, it is often hard to know what accounts for these significant fish kills. Brad Hammers, the DEC fish biologist responsible for the Finger Lakes recently provided the following update on July 6, 2017.

I wanted to pass along an update on the Seneca Lake Fish Kill. The kill impacting alewives has been observed since Memorial Day weekend. We sent a sample of moribund and freshly dead alewives to Cornell on June 15th. The results, as many of you are aware, determined that a heavy infestation of a protozoan, or parasite Chilodonella, was believed to be responsible for the kill. Chilodonella is a really common protozoan which, like Ich and ichthyobodo, can be deadly (to fish). Mortality events related to it are often associated with contributing causes such as spawning, dramatic temp fluctuations, etc. The duration of a kill of this nature is hard to determine. There is no harm to humans. The original sample was collected near the Lodi area. We have continued to receive numerous reports of dead and dying alewives around the lake. On July 5th, we collected another sample of alewives from the Severne area. Initial results from the Cornell Vet School continue to show a very heavy infestation of the same parasite, Chiodonella. Further testing will be completed, however it appears that this protozoan is the cause of the kill and will have to run its course.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
