Owasco Lake Watershed Nine Element Plan for Phosphorus Reduction

Owasco Lake Watershed Nine Element Plan for Phosphorus Reduction

Cayuga County received a New York State Department of State grant to implement a high priority recommendation from the 2016 Owasco Lake Watershed Management and Waterfront Revitalization Plan,  which was to incorporate the EPA's Nine Key Elements into the Plan.  This project was led by the Cayuga County Department of Planning and Economic Development and the consultant on the project was Ecologic LLC. 

The Owasco Lake Watershed Nine Element Plan for Phosphorus Reduction was approved by the New York State Department of State and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. This Clean Water Plan advances efforts to restore and protect the water quality of Owasco Lake and its watershed.  This collaborative effort identified focused strategies to ensure the lake's water supply, aquatic habitat, and recreational uses are protected.
