Management Approaches For The Control Of Aquatic Plants, Joseph Makarewicz, Daina Beckstrand, Isidro Bosch

Joseph C Makarewicz

This guide is designed to provide information on the ecological values and problems associated with aquatic macrophytes, to present methods used to control the troublesome species, and to provide suggestions on how to implement a lake management plan that would deal with macrophytes as legally and as safely as possible.


Nutrient Loading Of Streams Entering Lake Neatahwanta Oswego County, Ny: A Summary Of The Lake Neatahwanta Tributary Monitoring, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis May 2013

Nutrient Loading Of Streams Entering Lake Neatahwanta Oswego County, Ny: A Summary Of The Lake Neatahwanta Tributary Monitoring, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis

Joseph C Makarewicz

This study suggests that the highly eutrophic condition of Lake Neatahwanta is in large part due to the very high loadings of nutrients from the surrounding watershed. Specifically, Sheldon Creek was identified as a major contributor of phosphorus and total suspended solids to the lake. The amount of nutrients entering the lake from Sheldon Creek were in excess of those observed in creeks of New York receiving point source loadings from small sewage treatment plants. Improvement of the water quality of Lake Neatahwanta will depend upon the identification and remediation of the major sources of nutrients in the watershed and …


Chemical Analysis And Nutrient Loading Of Streams Entering Conesus Lake, N.Y With Sections On I. Status Of Conesus Lake I I. Crayfish As Control Agents Of Macrophytes, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis, Ronald Dilcher, Michael Letson, Norma Puckett May 2013

Chemical Analysis And Nutrient Loading Of Streams Entering Conesus Lake, N.Y With Sections On I. Status Of Conesus Lake I I. Crayfish As Control Agents Of Macrophytes, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis, Ronald Dilcher, Michael Letson, Norma Puckett

A program of research was developed at the State University of New York at Brockport's Department of Biological Sciences to investigate the causes of decreasing water transparency and increased salt levels in some streams draining into Conesus Lake and to identify watersheds and sources of. fertilizers that may be polluting the lake and causing increased abundance of "weeds". It has been supported by New York State, Livingston County, the Villages of Avon and Geneseo and the Town of Livonia and many private citizens. The thrust of the research has been to gather and synthesize information necessary to determine the physical …


The Loss Of Nutrients And Materials From Watersheds Draining Into Lake Neatahwanta Oswego County, Ny, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis May 2013

The Loss Of Nutrients And Materials From Watersheds Draining Into Lake Neatahwanta Oswego County, Ny, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis

Joseph C Makarewicz

Here we report on the status of Lake Neatahwanta and losses of materials and nutrients from the various watersheds draining into the lake. Since 1994, Oswego Soil and Water Conservation District has begun several projects, Best Management Practices, to remediate and reduce loss of nutrients in the watershed. These include installation of rock rip-rap below the gaging station and the confluence of the Summerville and Sheldon Creeks, the installation of rock rip-rap in the drainage path near the gaging station on Sheldon Creek and the installation of fencing preventing cows from entering Sheldon Creek upstream from the gaging station at …
