The Impact Of Stream Nutrient Loading On Macrophytes And Metaphyton In Conesus Lake, Usa, Peter D’Aiuto, Joseph Makarewicz, Isidro Bosch
The Impact Of Stream Nutrient Loading On Macrophytes And Metaphyton In Conesus Lake, Usa, Peter D’Aiuto, Joseph Makarewicz, Isidro Bosch
Joseph C Makarewicz
During the summers of 2000, 2001 and 2002, the littoral zone of Conesus Lake (40°54'N, 77°43'W) supported massive blooms of metaphyton, mostly filamentous green algae (Zygnema sp. and Spirogyra sp.). Extensive agricultural activity (60–80% of the land use) within the lake’s western subwatersheds is responsible for the loading of large quantities of nitrate (up to 1800 g/ha/day) and total phosphorus (up to 34 g/ha/day) into the lake during precipitation events (MAKAREWICZ et al. 2001). Large assemblages of M. spicatum and accompanying metaphyton growth were often located near stream mouths (Fig. 1) and a significant correlation existed between stream nutrient loading …

A goal of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of various agricultural management plans on steep-sloped highly erodable hydrologically sensitive farm lands to upstate farmers.

The purpose of the RAP project is to prepare water quality management action plans for watersheds in the three basins (Genesee, Lake Ontario West, and Lake Ontario Central) within Monroe County that empty into the Rochester Embayment. These basinwide plans would be prepared using existing data and literature on each of the three basins. In some instances where baseline and storm event data were not available, such as the Lake Ontario West Basin, it would be necessary to collect the required data. As part of the local contribution to Rochester Embayment Remedial Action Plan, the Monroe County Health contracted with …

Chaumont Bay is a 9,000-acre embayment located on the east end of Lake Ontario. The bay receives tributary waters from Guffon Creek, Three Mile Creek, and the Chaumont River, creating three smaller embayments within Chaumont Bay on the northeastern side. The bay is lined by shoreline development, but the watershed is primarily agriculture. Algae blooms plague Chaumont Bay and hamper boating, swimming, and fish consumption. Direct sewage discharges into Chaumont Bay have been documented, but inadequate septic systems are considered the primary source of nutrient loading to the bay. This short report provides a synopsis of data collected monthly from …
Long Pond Monroe County, New York, Joseph Makarewicz, Matthew Nowak
Long Pond Monroe County, New York, Joseph Makarewicz, Matthew Nowak

Long Pond, located on Lake Ontario near Rochester, New York, is surrounded by a mix of residential development, state park, and protected wildlife areas. Land use within the watershed is a mix of suburbia, including the Village of Spencerport, and agriculture. The waters of Long Pond are considered hypereutrophic, meaning it is very productive due to high nutrient loading. This productivity is likely due to nonpoint sources and the point source represented by the Spencerport Sewage Treatment Plant which releases advanced secondary sewage effluent into a tributary of Long Pond (Makarewicz 2000). Nuisance algae, bacterial abundance, and algal mat development …
