Ken Kudla, President, Owasco Watershed Lake Association</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In just a few
months, Owasco Lake will likely experience yet another outbreak of Harmful
Algal Blooms (HABs). Whether you live on the shore of the Lake, drive by it,
like to swim in it, picnic by it, boat on it, drink its water, or just live in
the region, our lives, our jobs, and our economic well-being are directly
influenced by the health or ill-health of this Finger Lake. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes called
blue-green algae, HABs are not algae at all, but instead are a common form of
bacteria that come into dominance because our Lake has too much phosphorus and
nitrogen. These bacteria during the hot, calm days of August into October
proliferate, turning our Lake into an ugly, keep-away green. Even worse, as the
bacteria die they often release poisons that can<span style="color: red;"> </span>have
very serious health effects. Scientists around the world are working hard to
come up with solutions. About the only fix now known is to greatly reduce the
phosphorus and nitrogen getting into the lake.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">However, the
bacteria have a weakness. They like calm, clear, warm water. There is an early
body of research that suggests that perhaps we can inhibit their normal pattern
by mixing up the water column; i.e., make it more turbulent and less calm.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>This year the
Owasco Lake Water Quality Management Council in association with OWLA, the
Finger Lakes Institute and the NYS DEC are working together to identify,
research and test a number of possible technologies directed a minimizing HAB
outbreaks. </b></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Current plans
are to secure a quantity of two types of water mixers. One type will be for
lakeshore sites that have a depth of 15 to 20 feet within 75 feet of the shore
line. The other type is for more shallow, near shore locations. This type
typically mounts under a dock. It is the same mixer as is used to prevent ice
from forming around a dock or boat lift. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 2.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The mixer for
deeper water installation is called an Airmax PS-20 and costs about $2500. The
under dock mounted shallow water mixer is a Kasco submersible mixer and costs
approximately $1,000. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

Algae Update: Sept. 30, 2017 excerpt from the Auburn Citizen:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Latest test results released by the Cayuga County Health Department show the highest levels of harmful algal bloom toxins entering the city of Auburn's water treatment plant this season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
After the Owasco Lake water flowed through the city's toxin treatment system and the filtration plant, no toxins were detected in the drinking water.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
According to the health department's website, 0.25 micrograms per liter of microcystin, a kind of liver toxin present in some harmful algal blooms, was detected in the raw lake water from samples collected Wednesday. The last time toxins were detected in the raw water, levels were 0.18 and 0.16 micrograms per liter on Aug. 31 and Sept. 18, respectively.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
All of those detections are below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's level of concern for vulnerable populations — 0.3 micrograms per liter over 10 days.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
The town of Owasco continues to show no toxins detected in both the drinking water and the untreated water.</div>

The Auburn citizen is reporting today that the latest results from Thursday, Oct. 6 samples of water from the town of Owasco and city of Auburn's treatment plant showed no detectable levels of blue-green algae toxins. This is very good news after several days of rising levels of toxins found in testing.<br />

Good Morning Everyone, 10/3/2016<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Last week, we had very few blooms of significant size.
Unfortunately, the cyanobacteria cells were still present in the water column, but the weather conditions were not
ideal for a bloom to develop at the surface. With the ability for the bacteria to migrate up and down in the water
column, the toxin producing organism made their way into water intakes for the City of Auburn and the Town
of Owasco and eventually into the treated drinking water. Luckily, the toxins are at low enough levels that
they are not a major health concern to children, pregnant women, or adult; but nevertheless, it is still a
major concern for the water quality of Owasco Lake. The most recent results for the State Health Department have
shown no detectable toxins in the drinking water for the City of Auburn and the Town of Owasco. We will
continue to monitor the situation along with the County Health Department.</div>

<b>Today marks the last day of the year for weekly
surveillance of your zone.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication
to help us better understand the frequency and severity of blooms in Owasco Lake. In the next few
weeks/months, the inspection Program, OWLA, Health Department, and the DEC will meet to discuss the next step
and hopefully come up with a plan to help minimize the impact Cyanobacteria on Owasco Lake. I think we
exceeded our expectations for the first installment of the “Owasco Lake HAB Program” and it was not
possible without the help of our 24 zone volunteers. </div>

<br />
Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
As we enter into September, the life cycle of cyanobacteria that cause Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) starts to peak and blooms can become more frequent.<br />
<br />
On Saturday August 27th, we received a number of reports about a potential HAB developing. Blooms were seen on the East side of the lake at Burtis Point, Adams Point (Wide Waters Lane) and Seward Point (Firelane 24 East); and on the West side of the lake at Cascade (Firelane 1-4 West) and near Firelane 26 West. A<i> s<b>ample was Collected at Adams Point</b> and Laboratory results indicated that <b>the bloom did contain high cyanobacteria levels</b></i><b> </b>(281ug/L, above the WHO/DEC Threshold of 25-30ug/L), and toxins results have not yet been completed. Luckily the wind picked up on Sunday August 28th and the blooms have dissipated. Additional information can be found at owascoinspection.org regarding current conditions of the lake and any supplemental information.<br />
<br />
Reports from weekly surveillance have indicated no evidence of a bloom this week. As always, if you suspect a bloom, please feel free to call me at 315-237-2066 or Drew Snell at 315-427-5188.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
