  • Oneida Lake, Causing New York to Add the Lake to Its Clean Water Act Section 303(D) List in 1998
    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Agricultural Environmental ManagementNew Projects Reduce York Phosphorus in Lake Waterbody Improved Algal blooms and rooted vegetation impaired primary recre- ation and aquatic life beneficial uses of New York’s Oneida Lake, causing New York to add the lake to its Clean Water Act section 303(d) list in 1998. Excess nutrients, specifically phosphorus, from agricultural and urban/suburban runoff caused the growth of algal blooms in the lake. Implementing best management prac- tices (BMPs) such as barnyard runoff management systems, silage leachate control sys- tems, manure storage systems, and nutrient and sediment control systems successfully reduced phosphorus loads to Oneida Lake. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) has proposed Oneida Lake for delisting in 2008 because data show steady declines in nutrient enrichment (phosphorus levels) and indicate that the lake sup- ports designated uses related to nutrient enrichment. Problem Oneida Lake, while not recognized as one of the Finger Lakes, is sometimes referred to as the “Thumb of the Finger Lakes.” It is the largest lake entirely within New York State. It encompasses 51,000 acres and drains more than 2,300 miles of streams. The Oneida Lake watershed is in the Oswego-Seneca-Oneida Rivers Drainage Basin, which drains to Lake Ontario (Figure 1). It also serves as one of the links in the Erie Canal. The Oneida Lake watershed (approximately 1,364 square miles) contains portions of six counties, 69 municipalities and has a population of 262,000. The lake is approximately 21 miles long, 5 miles wide and 22 feet deep.

The OLA BOD at its June and July meetings discussed the following topics and actionable items: Weed pulls and volunteers Planning for the 75th Annual Meeting VP Harmon and a special committee has analysed the Member Survey from this spring and is outlining possible responses to several of the topics that you all suggested would improve the OLA and its functions The invitational August Networking Meeting is scheduled for August 12; town, county, and state government officials should be on the lookout for an email to be sent in a few days. The Government Relations Committee is preparing a series of Oneida Lake issues bullets with which to brief area legislators as appointments with them can be made over the next few month. Cove Road Update While the Governor regularly announces recreational improvements to access parks and launch sites across the state, we have no update on the DEC Region 6 "top priority" to start work at Cove Road. This new boat launch site on the Barge Canal just east of Fish Creek has been a permitting and design initiative of the NYSDEC, Canal Corp, and OLA for over 25 years. Start of construction was to have begun this season, but has been delayed another site where designs were more advanced (the new launch on the Grass River above Massena that was funded by NYPA?). ENews will report as soon as site clearing begins, hopefully this fall. Oneida Lake is not hampered by the high water levels that will plague the Great Lakes and St.

  • Section 4. Tributaries. II-70
    Section 4. Tributaries 4.1 Subwatershed Descriptions The Oneida Lake watershed is composed of seven primary subwatersheds that drain groundwater and surface water from a six county region directly to the Lake (Map 2.4.1 – Subwatersheds). A general description of the following subwatersheds is presented in this chapter: the Oneida Creek subwatershed (extending throughout portions of Madison and Oneida Counties), the Cowaselon Creek subwatershed (located entirely within Madison County), the Chittenango Creek subwatershed (a portion of which borders Onondaga and Madison Counties), the Limestone/Butternut Creeks subwatershed (that flows through Onondaga County), the Wood Creek subwatershed (presented here in two sections – Wood Creek North and Wood Creek South) that flows through Oneida County, and the Fish Creek subwatershed (divided into the East Branch, West Branch, and Lower Fish Creek), spanning portions of Oneida, Lewis, and Oswego Counties. The section describing the Oneida Lake North Shore subwatershed refers to an area in Oneida and Oswego Counties along the north shore that drains directly into Oneida Lake. Each of the subwatershed sections contains information about geography, land use, and soils. Additional information is presented on existing programs and, when available, additional sources of information. This information was compiled to help the reader understand the natural features and local issues that influence water quality in Oneida Lake and its tributaries. 4.1.1 Chittenango Creek Subwatershed The Chittenango Creek subwatershed can be further divided into the following hydrologic units: -- Upper Chittenango Creek -- Lower Chittenango Creek Geography The headwaters of Chittenango Creek are located in the Madison County Town of Nelson at the Erieville Reservoir (also known as Tuscarora Lake).

  • Long-Term Trends in Burbot Abundance in Oneida Lake, New York: Life at the Southern Edge of the Range in an Era of Climate Change
    American Fisheries Society Symposium 59:131–152, 2008 © 2008 by the American Fisheries Society Long-Term Trends in Burbot Abundance in Oneida Lake, New York: Life at the Southern Edge of the Range in an Era of Climate Change JAMES R. JACKSON*, ANTHONY J. VANDEVALK, AND JOHN L. FORNEY Department of Natural Resources, Cornell Biological Field Station 900 Shackelton Point Road, Bridgeport, New York 13030, USA BRIAN F. LANTRY U.S. Geological Survey Biological Resources Division (USGS) Lake Ontario Biological Station, 17 Lake Street, Oswego, New York 13126, USA THOMAS E. BROOKING AND LARS G. RUDSTAM Department of Natural Resources, Cornell Biological Field Station 900 Shackelton Point Road, Bridgeport, New York 13030, USA ABSTRACT.—The burbot Lota lota is a cold-stenothermal species with a circumpolar distribution that rarely extends below latitude 40°N. Oneida Lake, New York, is a large (20,670 ha), shallow (mean depth 6.8 m) lake and its position at latitude 43°N places it near the southern border of the burbot’s range. Although abundant enough to be considered detrimental to more desirable species during the early 1900s, previous research indicated that burbot abundance was limited by sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus predation and marginal thermal conditions during the summer in Oneida Lake. However, a lamprey control program initiated in 1985 did not result in signifi- cant increases in burbot catches. Oneida Lake’s morphology results in homothermal conditions throughout much of the summer, reducing the availability of coldwater refuges. High occurrence of empty stomachs and reduction in energy density of liv- ers during the summer months suggest that high summer water temperatures may limit burbot in Oneida Lake.
