Segment Analysis Of Sheldon Creek: The Location Of Sources Of Pollution, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis
Segment Analysis Of Sheldon Creek: The Location Of Sources Of Pollution, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis
Joseph C Makarewicz
Considerable concern about the deteriorating condition of Lake Neatahwanta has existed for well over a decade. A goal of the Oswego County Soil and Water Conservation District water quality monitoring program was the development of a statistically defensible database of ecologically important parameters that would allow stewards of the watershed to prioritize and determine which sub-watershed had the largest potential impact on Lake Neatahwanta. After three years of sampling the four creeks draining into the lake, Sheldon Creek, as opposed to Ley, Summerville and Granby Creeks, was determined to be losing the largest amounts of water, soil and nutrients from …

To identify sources of the elevated levels of nutrients observed in Pennellville Pond, a recommendation of the Makarewicz and Lewis Report (2003) was to initiate water quality sampling in the area north of Penneville Pond in the Fish Creek watershed. To accomplish this task, the Soil and Water Conservation District of Oswego County contracted with the Water Quality Laboratory at SUNY Brockport to systematically identify, during baseline and hydrometeorological events, the sources of nutrients, soils and salts within the Fish Creek watershed north of Pennellville Pond. Point and non-point sources were identified through a process called stressed stream analysis or …
Oak Orchard Creek Watershed The Location Of Sources Of Pollution, Annual Loss Of Nutrients And Soil To Lake Ontario, And A Test Of Effectiveness Of Zone Tillage As A Best Management Practice, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis
Oak Orchard Creek Watershed The Location Of Sources Of Pollution, Annual Loss Of Nutrients And Soil To Lake Ontario, And A Test Of Effectiveness Of Zone Tillage As A Best Management Practice, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis

Oak Orchard Creek is on New York State’s “303(d)” (1972 Clean Water Act) list of impaired water bodies. Waters designated as 303(d) do not meet water quality standards that states, territories, and authorized tribes have set for them, even after point sources of pollution have installed the minimum required levels of pollution control technology. A 303(d) designation may require the eventual development of Total Maximum Daily Loading (TMDL) for a watershed as a mechanism of managing nutrient losses from a watershed. Funding was received by the Orleans County Soil and Water Conservation District from the Environmental Protection Agency to implement …
