2020 Newsletter 2020 Newsletter A MESSAGE FROM YOUR EXECUTIVE BOARD Dear Friends of Lake Lillinonah: We are assembling this newsletter in early April, during the height of the Covid19 pandemic. Schools are empty, non-essential businesses shuttered; family, friends and neighbors are staying home, filled with concern about what has happened, everybody uncertain about what lies ahead. Hopeful that our great country will once again prevail, we can only listen carefully to our doctors and leaders to keep each other safe and shorten the pathway towards resolution and safety. And yet, we can peer out our windows and take a long look at our wonderful Lake Lillinonah. It still flows, full of life. Its shores will soon be the bright fresh green of springtime. We hear the birds; busy as always. The rain, the wind, the sunshine; they’re there as they have always been, to remind us that although we face changes as a result of this difficult challenge, much remains the same. It is this same-ness that should comfort us with the knowledge that we will soon again be outside enjoying this beautiful lake and the family and friendships that we have. Please stay well and safe; enjoy our newsletter and let us know of any suggestions or comments you have. We also encourage you to share this newsletter with your friends & neighbors as this is a wonderful example of the strength of our lake community, and the work that Friends of the Lake is accomplishing with your continued support. We’ll see you soon! Your Executive Board 2020 Friends of the Lake Newsletter: Please forward this report on to your friends & neighbors to 1 showcase what FOTL is doing alongside our strong lake community FEATURED EVENTS Be sure to mark your calendars & visit our website for more information! *Events pending state and country approval due to corona virus current restrictions* Over the past 17 years, this organization June 2020 Pulling Party & has worked incredibly hard to clean up the lake, taking more than 30 27th Pancake Breakfast dumpsters of debris out of the lake! Due to our efforts, we are going to bypass our traditional RT 133 clean up and shift all focus to a newer issue that needs our attention, Water Chestnuts. This year (2020) we are going to move the event to Addis Park in New Milford and have Kayaks & Pontoon boats focus on the removal of the water chestnuts as they bloom in June. We are also going to enhance this event by adding some additional social elements to make it more fun for all those who help, with a full Pancake breakfast (and free t shirts) for all those who volunteer their time! July Community BBQ 25th We have received some great feedback over the years about the dine-around! In 2020, we are going to test a new concept that will allow all members of FOTL to gather in one location and enjoy the afternoon/evening in a larger group setting & meet more neighbors & friends. We are eager to test this new concept and collect member’s preference for this vs the traditional Dine-Around! More to follow as we get closer! Aug Anniversary Sept Debris 17th Party! 12th Survey 2 2020 Friends of the Lake Newsletter: Please forward this report on to your friends & neighbors to showcase what FOTL is doing alongside our strong lake community MEMBERSHIP We currently are proud to have 209 members (2019) among us. Though that is lower than the 229 members we had in 2018, we know of many long- time members who have moved away. Please take a moment to think of your neighbors; are they new to our lake? If so, please let them know about our organization. Feel free to forward this newsletter, of course. Board member Angela Macchiarulo reports that she has reached out to our area schools, who have expressed enthusiastic interest in getting involved in our projects. She has contacted guidance counselors, who assured her that many students are involved in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs and would love a chance to earn their required community service hours for graduation by working with us. The early closure of schools this year will put a dent in this effort, but we will continue to pursue getting our community aware and involved in our programs and events. As a reminder, please renew your membership for 2020 today if you haven’t done so already. Your membership can be renewed online at www.friendsofthelake.org. Thank you! WATER QUALITY Board member Steve Bowman reports that the Barkwood Falls Association is in it’s third and final year of their permit to treat milfoil with diquat in selected areas of the lake, paid for by private funding and not associated with FOTL. They have also filed a permit application for the next three years. There are several new chemical products that may be longer-lasting and more effective than diquat, with less harmful side effects. We are continuing our research to arrive at a safe and effective solution to the milfoil invasion. (continued on page 4) 2020 Friends of the Lake Newsletter: Please forward this report on to your friends & neighbors to showcase 3 what FOTL is doing alongside our strong lake community WATER QUALITY (continued) The following information is provided by board member Rebekah White, who continues to work diligently on many projects to improve the water quality of Lake Lillinonah: Most of us are well aware of the variety of issues involving the water quality of our lake, including nutrient loading, invasive aquatic plants (milfoil, water chestnut and curly-leaf pondweed), and zebra mussels. FOTL has a new partnership with Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) to address nutrient loading. FOTL is committed to continuing our water quality monitoring efforts. We are also continuing to explore the control of milfoil though biological methods. We continue to monitor the zebra mussel population and participate in the CT DEEP Rifle Bioassessment by Volunteers (RBV) program. All of these efforts are made in the interest of improving the water quality of Lake Lillinonah while continuing to stand on our principle of using a science-based approach in order to find safe and reasonable solutions while maintaining our credibility among fellow stakeholders of our watershed. The Water Quality committee is excited to announce that our water quality monitoring efforts are paying off. The CT DEEP has started a new approach for looking at water quality in CT called ‘Integrated Water Resource Management.’ In order to improve water quality, it must first be determined how much nutrient can enter a water body without causing a negative effect. It is similar to our personal intake of food; we can all enjoy a piece of cake now and then but eating a whole cake daily would inevitably cause our health to deteriorate. And, just as each of us has different tolerances for food intake, bodies of water also have different tolerances. For example, a lake with few freshwater inputs and long residence times for water will be less tolerant of nutrient loading than a lake that behaves a lot like a river, like our Lillinonah. The CT DEEP has selected a few waterbodies to model and calculate the nutrient loading, and they have chosen Lake Lillinonah thanks to the years of water quality data they can use to input into their models. In addition to Lillinonah, they are studying Bantam Lake which is in the Shepaug Watershed, and I believe they are also looking at data from Lake Waramaug, which feeds into the Housatonic Watershed through the Aspetuck River. CT DEEP will utilize these data to create an action plan for the selected waterbodies in the form of a ‘Total Maximum Daily Load’ (TMDL) target. The TMDL will give us the ‘diet’ goals for Lillinonah, in order to prioritize projects and their funding. We are scheduling a presentation by Traci Lott, the CT DEEP representative coordinating this project to give a presentation to our members as soon as public meetings are once again allowed. We will notify all members through our email alert system once a date is chosen. 2020 Friends of the Lake Newsletter: Please forward this report on to your friends & neighbors to showcase 4 what FOTL is doing alongside our strong lake community WATER QUALITY (continued) This season the water quality committee, in conjunction with Dr. Jen Klug of Fairfield University, will continue our water quality monitoring utilizing the GLEON buoy, the Citizen Led Environmental Observatory (CLEO), EPA cyanoMonitoring, EPA cyanoScope, and in-lake monitoring with the handheld sonde. We visit the GLEON buoy once a month to clean off biofouling, calibrate the buoy sonde (water quality probe), collect comparative water quality data with the handheld sonde, and collect water samples for nutrient and toxin testing. CLEO is our dock monitoring program that utilizes our members to collect data from different areas of the lake three times per week between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The EPA programs analyze water collected at four sites on the lake to help determine the type and species of algae present. During the visit to collect water for the EPA program we also collect data with the handheld sonde. We plan to go out every two weeks for this program but could increase it to weekly with additional volunteer help. In addition to monitoring Lake Lillinonah, we have partnered with the Housatonic Valley Association (HVA) to assist them in weekly monitoring efforts on the Still River. CLEO training will be held on a Saturday morning in late April, if possible.

TROUT- RIVERS & STREAMS – Many are letting us know that trout fishing continues to be good to very good. The main advice is to “move around” and to “try different offerings” as the fish are spread out and have been “finicky” at times. Flows remain near-perfect for fishing in many areas (see stream flow graphic on page 4), temperatures continue to be comfortable for both trout and anglers (although look for more heat next week), and the weather forecast is good. While not currently an issue anywhere, you can check stream flows anytime (real time stream flow data from 68 USGS gauging stations can be found at the USGS web site). Anglers are finding good action at many areas throughout the state. Anglers should remember to try a number of tactics and methods until you find what the triggers the fish to hit. Insect hatches are near peak in terms of the diversity of species at one time.

  • 2008 State of Connecticut Integrated Water Quality
    2008 STATE OF CONNECTICUT INTEGRATED WATER QUALITY REPORT PURSUANT TO SEC. 305(B) AND 303(D) OF THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT Introduction and Report Overview This report was prepared to satisfy statutory reporting requirements pursuant to both Sections 305(b) and 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). CWA Section 305(b) requires each State to monitor, assess and report on the quality of its waters relative to attainment of designated uses established by the State’s Water Quality Standards. Section 303(d) of the CWA requires each State to compile a subset of that list identifying only those waters not meeting water quality standards and assign a priority ranking for each impaired waterbody for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development or other management action. These reports are submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) every two years for review and, in the case of waters identified pursuant to Section 303(d), EPA approval. Chapter 1, Consolidated Assessment and Listing Methodology (CT CALM) describes the procedure used by CT-DEP to assess the quality of the State’s waters relative to attainment of Water Quality Standards. The CALM serves to document the protocols used by DEP to assess water quality data as well as establishing minimum standards for data acceptability to insure that only credible data are used to perform the assessments. Although the DEP relies most heavily on data collected as part of the Department’s Ambient Monitoring Program, data from other State and federal Agencies, local governments, drinking water utilities, volunteer organizations, and academic sources are also solicited and considered when making assessments.

  • Lake Lillinonah: a Study in Water Quality Through the Years Project by Katherine Whitney, Fairfield University Biology Department Supervised By: Dr
    Lake Lillinonah: A Study in Water Quality through the Years Project by Katherine Whitney, Fairfield University Biology Department Supervised by: Dr. Jennifer Klug Photo Credit: Tod Osier (2007) Executive Summary: The goal of this project was to reconstruct the water quality history at one site, near the Route 133 Bridge, in Lake Lillinonah. This lake is an impoundment on the Housatonic River that was created in 1955 for the purpose of electric power generation. Since early in its existence as a lake, Lillinonah has had frequent algal blooms during the summer months. Algal blooms are the result of excess nutrients, particularly phosphorus. They have a negative impact on lake ecosystems because as they start to die, bacteria associated with decaying organic matter that once was the unsightly algae consumes dissolved oxygen in the water and can result in hypoxic conditions near the bottom. In addition, cyanobacteria, common bloom-forming species, have been known to produce toxins which can be harmful to humans or to pets and livestock who may come into contact with them (Yoo, 1995). Thus, this is not just an aesthetic problem, but one affecting the general health of the lake. Although water quality data has been collected in Lake Lillinonah intermittently since the early 1970’s, to our knowledge, there has been no comprehensive analysis of the entire time-series. We compiled data from a variety of sources to assess if water quality has changed over time and if any patterns in water quality could be explained by hydrologic events or nutrient management programs throughout Lillinonah’s history.
