ENV/L22-frt I I ABSTRACT I A Diagnostic/Feasibility Study of Onota Lake was conducted by IT Corporation I for the City of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The purpose of the study was to identify factors which have contributed to the degradation of the lake, quantify their impact, and recommend strategies for their mitigation. Field I sampling took place from March, 1986 through March 1987. I Problems identified during the course of the study included: I 1) Excessive growth of aquatic macrophytes 2) Severe dissolved oxygen depletion in the hypolimnetic waters 3) Sediment accumulation I 4) Impacted fishery resulting from dissolved oxygen limitations. I These problems were attributed to urbanization of the watershed, faulty I agricultural practices and stormwater runoff. The management and restoration plan devised for Onota Lake incorporated both I long-term and short-term measures. Long-term watershed management measures were recommended to address the source of the problems in the lake. Included I in the recommendations were sewering, the implementation of more stringent zoning ordinances, and enforcement of soil erosion control ordinances. I In order to realize an immediate tangible improvement, short-term, in-lake procedures were also recommended. These included weed harvesting, public I education, hypolimnetic aeration, dredging, and modification of the lake's I flow pattern.
