CSLAP Report:
The Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP) is a volunteer
lake monitoring program conducted by the NYS Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) and the NYS Federation of Lake Associations
(FOLA). In this program, lay volunteers trained by the NYSDEC and FOLA
collect water samples, observations, and perception data every other week in
a 15 week interval between May and October. Water samples are analyzed by
certified laboratories. Analytical results are interpreted by the NYSDEC and
FOLA and utilized for a variety of purposes by the State of New York, local
governments, researchers, and, most importantly, participating lake
associations. The
October 2008 report summarizes the 2007 sampling results for Otter
Lake.
Otter Lake
Black Fly Program is at risk!
Bti treatments help reduce the number of black flies in the Otter Lake
community. Unfortunately, the Bti program at Otter Lake is
currently at risk due to the escalating cost of these treatments.
Please consider making a donation to the Otter Lake Association.
Donations can be sent to June Wellman/Treasurer, 1046 Norton Rd..,
Otter Lake, NY 13338. Please indicate that your
donation is in support of the Bti program. Thank You!
