Stormwater is the number one source of contami- nants entering Lake George. The large amount of high intensity development in the south end of Lake George greatly increases the volume and rate of flow of stormwater. Many groups, including the LGA, have worked hard to capture and treat stormwater, keep- ing many contaminants, such as silt, salt, and harmful nutrients, from entering the Lake. After hearing presentations on porous asphalt at the 2010 North Country Stormwater Conference, LGA Project Manager Randy Rath and Dave Wick, then director of Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District (WCSWCD), were convinced The conceptual plan for the north parcel of the West Brook park includes: 1: Beach Road Park Entrance; 2: Skate Park; 3: Restrooms; 4.

The 150-foot long sediment basin was designed by WCSWCD with financial assistance from the LGA and the Lochlea Estate. The basin will slow down the flow of water and allow sediment to fall out prior to entering the Lake.

n July 25, 2012 Governor Cuomo signed into law new legislation that restricts the sale, pos- session, and importation of invasive species. OThe New York State Senate gave final legislative ap- proval to the bill (S.6826a) in June, and the Assembly version of the bill was passed in April. The legislation requires the Department of En- vironmental Conservation, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture and Markets, to restrict the sale, purchase, possession, introduction, importation, and transport of invasive species. Working in consulta- tion with the Invasive Species Council, the state agen- cies will develop regulations dealing with the disposal and control of invasives, including a list of prohibited species that would be illegal to knowingly possess with the intent to sell, import, purchase, or transport. LGA Executive Director Walt Lender testified in support of invasive species legislation before an Pulling up the mats used to smother the Asian clam is hard and dirty work.

In 2012, LGA lake stewards focused on water contained on board, asking boaters if they had drained all water from hatches, bilges, live wells, and other locations prior to launch.

Regulations

n May 2012 Bolton Landing’s Rainbow Beach Association adopted their own boat launching restrictions to combat invasive species. They were Ithe first homeowner association on the Lake to do so. Last summer, Walt Lender, LGA executive director, and Emily DeBolt, LGA director of education, gave a presentation to Rainbow Beach Association about a variety of Lake-related topics, including what was happening just around the corner with Asian clam in Boon Bay. Over the winter, the LGA provided Rain- bow Beach with educational materials about prevent- ing the spread of aquatic invasive species. Rainbow Beach then decided to take it one step further this spring by adopting launching restrictions. LGA Executive Director Walt Lender is interviewed for an upcoming PBS documentary on invasive species.

12 Encouraging citizens to actively take part in protecting Lake George is vital to the LGA’s mission. Whether they are volunteering, act- ing as citizen scientists, learning how to create a lake-friendly garden, or pledging to keep a Outreach boat clean, people remember and learn best through active engagement. Lake-friendly Living Open House & Native Plant Sale uests at the LGA’s 2nd Annual Lake-friendly Living Open House, held on Saturday, June 2, 2012, enjoyed learning about stormwater Gflow, solutions for erosion and flooding, vegetative buffers, rain gardens, permeable pavement, landscap- ing engineering, planning and regulations, soil testing, alternative septic systems, septic system maintenance, geothermal heating and cooling, and much more.
