2012 Conesus Lake and Watershed Report Card

The 2012 Conesus Lake and Watershed Report Card is now available at http://depot.livingstoncounty.us/pdfs/planning/watershed_annual_report.pdf .

Residents of the Conesus Lake Watershed and everyone interested in the efforts to preserve Conesus Lake for future generations are encouraged to read the report.

Note: The Conesus Lake Watershed Management Plan (Go to http://www.co.livingston.state.ny.us/plan_clwmp.htm for the complete Plan ) recommends that an annual report be prepared to summarize the status of activities in the watershed, particularly the ongoing efforts to reduce the impact of non-point source pollution. In addition, the report provides a forum for tracking conditions in Conesus Lake and highlighting new information.

CLA Letter to DEC

On November 21, 2011, the Conesus Lake Association sent our comments to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regarding the draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (dSGEIS) on horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) as a method of gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale. The letter reviews our adopted position (March 2011), and our concern about moving forward with permitting prior to the completion of Federal and State research into the implications of hydrofracking on critical water and related land resource issues. Until the completion of these Government studies, the CLA believes that the current New York State moratorium on hydrofracking should be extended; and no drilling permits issued.
