Management Approaches For The Control Of Aquatic Plants, Joseph Makarewicz, Daina Beckstrand, Isidro Bosch
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.
A Five Year Summary Of Kendig Creek Watershed Monitoring, Joseph C. Makarewicz, Theodore W. Lewis, Gregory G. Lampman
A Five Year Summary Of Kendig Creek Watershed Monitoring, Joseph C. Makarewicz, Theodore W. Lewis, Gregory G. Lampman

Land use in the Kendig Creek watershed is mostly for agriculture purposes. Kendig Creek has relatively high concentrations of nitrate, total kjeldahl nitrogen and total suspended solids when compared to other watersheds in central New York State. Kendig Creek is also an event responsive watershed, i.e. a majority of the discharge, nutrient and solids lost from the watershed to the stream ecosystem occurs during precipitation or melting events. Stressed stream analysis has identified several agricultural sites that are contributing nutrients and soil to the stream ecosystem. Linking these three facts together suggest that agricultural practices allowing nutrients and soil to …
Nutrient Loading Of Streams Entering Lake Neatahwanta Oswego County, Ny: A Summary Of The Lake Neatahwanta Tributary Monitoring, Joseph Makarewicz, Theodore Lewis
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
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
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 …
Long-Term Trends And The Trophic Status Of Conesus Lake 2012: A Report To The Livingston County Planning Department Geneseo, Ny, Joseph C. Makarewicz, Joshua M. Lafountain, Theodore W. Lewis
Long-Term Trends And The Trophic Status Of Conesus Lake 2012: A Report To The Livingston County Planning Department Geneseo, Ny, Joseph C. Makarewicz, Joshua M. Lafountain, Theodore W. Lewis

Conesus Lake monitoring conducted by personnel from The College at Brockport during the summer of 2012 determined the current trophic status of the lake and if any improvements or further degradation of water quality had occurred. To accomplish this goal, lake chemistry was monitored from 22 May to 14 August 2012 and the following were completed: a trophic state assessment of the lake and an evaluation of long-term trends in lake chemistry. Recommendations 1. The monitoring of Conesus Lake should continue. Current results suggest a slow improvement in it’s surface water. The status of the lake’s water quality has been …
