2010 Annual Report
Protecting Lake George
for 125 Years
125 th An niversary
messages from the president and executive director

I
n 1975, I started my first year of a five-year time
frame as LGA president. The annual budget was
about $30,000, and we hired our first employee.
How times have changed!
It is 35 years later, I have returned to the board and
the office of president, and I am in my second year of a
two-year term. We now have eight full-time employees,
one summer intern, four part-time lake stewards,
exciting new programs, vital lake-saving projects, and
our annual budget is just under a million dollars.
LGA President
J. BUCKLEY BRYAN, JR
In 1975 our sole source of income was member
dues, and now we have member dues, income from an
endowment, major grant money from the Froehlich
Foundation, grants from other places – federal, state,
and local – and of course, events like the golf tournament, our annual gala, and other special events such
as our recent Ice Out gathering in Albany, to spread the
word about the LGA.
The point in referencing all these numbers, past and
present, is to show that we have grown enormously.
Today we are called upon by all manner of outside
organizations, government and private, to supply all
kinds of services. Managing all of this is an enormous
job requiring a great deal of staffing and significant
financial resources.
Executive Director
C. WALTER LENDER
Overall, our biggest current challenge is the West
Brook Conservation Initiative and paying off the now
$1.7 million debt shared with our environmental
partner, the Fund for Lake George. To this end, I urge all
LGA members to do two things for this organization and
our Lake: make a special contribution to help pay down
the debt, and make recommendations to the executive
director, Walt Lender, regarding the names of people
whom you think might be approached to make a significant contribution toward reducing our debt obligations.
Many thanks for giving me the great opportunity to
work on your behalf over the past two years as president
of our fine organization. I look forward to the continued
success of the Lake George Association.
LGA President
J. BUCKLEY BRYAN, JR
A
s this report goes to print, the LGA is celebrating
its 125th Anniversary. Since 1885, the LGA has
been the leading voice for the Lake. With many
years of conservation success and experience behind
us, we are focusing today on only those efforts we
know will be most effective. What is the key to those
efforts, and to protecting the beauty and quality of
Lake George? Working together. Our mission statement
starts with those words and we take them to heart.
To ensure a healthy lake for today and tomorrow we
must work together as partners in protecting the Lake.
This means educating and actively involving everyone
who has a stake in the Lake’s future. Our efforts include
residents, children, visitors, local municipalities,
businesses, county water conservation districts, the
Lake George Park Commission, other lake associations,
our legislators in Albany and Washington, our local
cooperative extension, and many others.
The LGA excels in building relationships and working
together. Together, we clean up a stream, test and
measure water quality, dredge a delta, educate the
stewards of the future and monitor for invasive species.
Dozens of lake-saving projects – stormwater improvements, wetland and sediment basin creation, delta
reduction, erosion control, and pond cleanouts – have had
significant impact on the Lake’s water quality over the past
decade. The LGA manages these efforts and coordinates
the many partners involved: villages, towns, counties, the
Army Corps of Engineers, landowners and others.
LGA’s watershed educators teach thousands of
children, tourists, and lifelong residents each year.
They come aboard the LGA’s beautiful new Floating
Classroom, the Rosalia Anna Ashby, and they engage
in monitoring activities, experiencing first hand what
it means to be a lake scientist, and gaining a thorough
appreciation and understanding of the Lake’s delicate
eco-system. LGA lake stewards inspect over 3,000
boats each year, and ask boaters and anglers, even triathletes, to help us fight the spread of invasive species.
With our partners, the Lake George Land Conservancy
and the Fund for Lake George, our work on the West
Brook Conservation Initiative continues. We have made
significant headway on our obligation to repay our
property loan for the conservation easement. But we
still have a long way to go.
Lake George is a very special place: it brings us
together, enchants us, keeps families strong, gives us
solace, brings us great joy! Like the LGA’s founding
members, let’s leave our legacy for Lake George – for
the next 125 years. Let’s pass on to the next generation
what was so graciously passed down to us.

The stock market had a major
negative effect on our Second
Century Endowment Fund,
starting in 2008 and continuing
through the first quarter of 2009.
By the end of 2009, most of that
loss was recouped and we reported $137,369 in Net Realized
and Unrealized Gains.
At the end of the year, the LGA
had increased its net assets by
$315,421 to $3,023,004. As we
entered 2010, our balance sheet
was strong; however, we still face
many challenges with operational finances, and our need for
fund raising continues.
Many thanks for your continued
support!

A
s we celebrate 125 years of successful conservation of Lake
George, we would like to thank our dedicated and loyal
supporters over the years. Some of you are descendents of the
LGA’s original founders – those original conservation pioneers who came
together to benefit the Lake at just the right time. Many of you are also
“next generation” supporters. Your families have had homes on the Lake
for years and you have grown up enjoying the beauty of Lake George and
all that the Lake offers, realizing that it can never be taken for granted.
The LGA forges ahead, and many have already left their legacy
for Lake George through a planned gift and membership in the Helen
V. Froehlich Legacy Society (HVFLS). The members of the Helen V.
Froehlich Legacy Society are creating their own legacy for lake protection,
just as Mrs. Froehlich did. HVFLS members work with their attorneys
and financial advisors to design an estate plan that protects their family,
preserves their property, and benefits the Lake George Association. A
percentage of an estate, a dollar amount, specific property, insurance policies,
trusts, or the remainder of an estate, can be bequeathed to the LGA.
LGA donations come in many different forms. Whether they are
gifts of time, treasures or talents, we appreciate each and every one! Donors
have made it possible for us to expand programs, create new educational
opportunities, and take on extensive, monumental projects around the
basin. Your continuing support has been critical for our perseverance and
success over the years.
With the economy still in recovery, it was an especially challenging
year for fundraising. We did, however, step outside our traditional methods
to form some very successful partnerships, such as working with RAMSCO,
a capital district company owned by one of our local supporters. In 2009,
this company decided to merge their company outing
with our golf fundraiser to support our Floating
Classroom and Lake Saving projects. We are very
grateful for their support and participation.
Under the leadership of our event committee
chair, Cheryl Lamb, the LGA’s 2009 Summer Splash
was yet another successful event with another sold out
crowd! As we go to print with this publication, we have
just held our 125th Anniversary Gala on July 16th.
Plans for this event began the day after last year’s gala,
with Cheryl agreeing to chair again. We were able to
add an additional 50 seats, bringing the total to 300,
plus staff and volunteers. Once again, we sold out weeks
in advance. Although the final numbers are not yet in, with very generous
sponsors, enthusiastic bidders at our silent auction, and a packed house, it
appears that we will exceed the net of any of our previous galas. We are
very grateful to all who share in this success: the event committee, staff,
volunteers and attendees.
Today we reap the rewards of a century and a quarter of foresight,
awareness and protection. 2010 is our year to celebrate endurance, longevity,
and success. It is also a year to look forward to our future and the future of
Lake George. Thank you for being part of a 125-year legacy.

Acknowledgement of Project Support
The LGA’s Lake Saving Projects would not be possible without the
support of the following organizations and individuals:
- Helen V. Froehlich Foundation
- New York State Department of State (DOS)
- New York State Department of Transportation (DOT)
- New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC)
- Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District
- Lake George Watershed Coalition
- Individual homeowners who allowed passage onto their
properties during project planning, design & construction
- Municipalities of Bolton, Hague, Fort Ann, Dresden, Lake
George, Putnam, Queensbury, and Ticonderoga
T
he LGA’s Lake Saving Projects are sometimes small and straight
forward; others are large and very time consuming. However, all of
them serve the purpose of protecting the water quality of Lake George.
We have been working in different sub-watersheds throughout Lake George
to advance and complete existing projects, and we continuously identify new
projects for future attention. Below is a brief synopsis of some the projects
completed and ongoing in the Lake George watershed.
English Brook Watershed (Lake George)
Design work was completed on a potential 150-foot-long sediment
basin to be constructed at the mouth of English Brook. The LGA worked with
the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District (WCSWCD) to
design a basin on the Lochlea Estate. WCSWCD listed the basin as a potential
project in their 2008 English Brook Watershed Study. Permits for the project
have been submitted to the appropriate agencies.
Another location identified in the WCSWCD study was a sub-watershed of nearly 48 acres, including the exit 22 off ramp, Lower Hubble Lane and
Route 9N. This acreage drains directly into English Brook without any stormwater abatement. Shallow soils limit the type of stormwater retrofits that can be
done in this area. For this reason, Jarrett Engineering was hired to determine the
best type of stormwater separator to use. Jarrett recommended an Aqua Swirl
Concentrator; first a swirl unit will remove gross pollutants, then a filtration
chamber will remove fine sediments and water-borne pollutants. As this project
moves forward, we will be working with the Department of Transportation to
connect into existing infrastructure on 9N.
Color renderings (above and below) depict the south parcel of the West Brook
Conservation Initiative stormwater treatment and wetland restoration project, currently the LGA’s most important lake-saving project. The LGA funded
production of these drawings. LGA staff and project partners are working
with landscape designers and engineers at the Chazen Companies.
The final project addressed in the watershed was the Hubble Reservoir. The town of Lake George has maintained this old reservoir, along with
oversight from WCSWCD, but recently it has become a burden to dewater the
site due to a non-functioning sluice gate and valve, and the lack of a permanent
dewatering pipe. The LGA hired Patrick J. Galusha Construction to remove
the sluice gate and valve to determine if it could be repaired. Galusha
Construction also fixed the dewatering mechanism and pipe. Since
the pond was completely dewatered, we took the opportunity to completely remove almost 600 cubic yards of sediment that had accumulated in the reservoir. The sluice gate is no longer in working order and
we are seeking additional solutions to replace it.
West Brook Watershed (Lake George)
The West Brook Conservation Initiative continues to be our main
focus in the watershed. This ongoing project is a complicated one, involving many
partners and agencies. Throughout the year many meetings have been attended
to keep things moving forward. Both Walt Lender, LGA’s executive director and
Randy Rath, LGA’s project manager have been heavily involved in this process.

hired to create three different designs for the festival
space. Their designs were based on interviews with the
town and village of Lake George, the Warren County
supervisors, and potential users.
We addressed the New York State Historic
Preservation Office’s (SHPO) concern regarding
cultural resources. It was determined that there
would be no impact on the South Parcel. It was also
determined that all of the buildings on both lots
have been cleared by the SHPO and can be demolished and removed from the site, should that be
what all the partners decide is in the best interest of
the project as it goes forward.
Walt Lender, LGA executive director, with NYS Secretary of State Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez, and DOS
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) staff Kevin Millington and George Stafford. The DOS, a key partner in the West Brook Conservation
Initiative (WBCI), held a press conference on the West Brook site in June, praising the work of the
has committed to stormwater remediation on the
LGA and the project’s other partners. Speaking before the group, Walt emphasized how essential

Road. The U.S. ACOE will complete the design, apply for permits and address
any concerns of the SHPO.
Color renderings and cross sections were created by the Chazen
Companies and were based on the final design plans for the South Parcel.
New York State Department of State Environmental Protection Fund
(Lake George Watershed)
Projects and efforts funded by two New York State Dept. of State
(DOS) Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) grants have been completed
and the grants are now closed. The grants represent over $462,000 in state
funds with over $500,000 in matching funds from the Helen V. Froehlich
Foundation, other local matches, and in-kind services. The grants helped to
fund many lake-saving, educational and outreach endeavors.
Foster Brook Watershed (Dresden)
The Foster Brook delta remediation project moved from the planning
phase to the construction phrase this past year. Myers Engineering provided
consultation during the design, planning and construction phase of the project
and Kingsley Construction Inc. completed the project. The remediation project
took about two weeks to complete and was a great success. Approximately 1500
cubic yards of material were removed from the delta. This will greatly improve
navigation and recreation opportunities as well as fisheries at the mouth of the
brook. In fact, this past spring saw the smelt running for the first time in years.
Foster Brook Delta as the project began.

Fairy Brook Watershed (Dresden)
The Fairy Brook sediment basin project in the Huletts Landing area
continues to move forward. We have been addressing some concerns of the U.S.
ACOE and are working with the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) for a permit
as well. We are seeking funding and are hopeful the project will be completed
this year, as the site is in need of remediation.

Hague and Finkle Deltas (Hague and Bolton)
Dredging plans were developed for Hague Brook and Finkle Brook
deltas. The LGA contracted with the WCSWCD to complete the delta removal plans and to submit permit applications. Plans were developed in conjunction
with local municipalities, permitting agencies and other concerned agencies.
Permit applications were submitted to the APA, DEC and U.S. ACOE. The
plans outline preferred methods of dredging and provide logistics and estimates
for completing the project.
An aquatic vegetation study was also completed at the request of the
APA. The Finkle Brook delta contains some aquatic wetland vegetation. The
study identified the species present and evaluated the impact of dredging on
native and invasive plant species in the area.
Results from the cultural resource study conducted in 2008 were
received and submitted to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation (OPRHP). The study indicated that the dredging will
have no effect on the cultural resources in the area.

Gull Bay, Glenburnie and Black Point Road (Putnam)
This past December, the LGA signed an agreement with the ACOE
to study the town of Putnam’s current stormwater infrastructure in its lakefront communities of Glenburnie and Gull Bay, and along Black Point Road.
The Putnam area has some stormwater issues and this project will help identify
and rank the priority projects. This project will be funded through the Planning
Assistance to States Grant Program, which requires a 50/50 match. The LGA is
contributing $30,000 of already-awarded Froehlich Foundation money for this
project and will be adding, along with some assistance from the town of Putnam, $35,000 of in-kind services to complete the local match for the planning

A small section of Indian Brook, formerly an old swimming hole, was
cleaned out in the fall to create an off-line sediment basin. Over the years, the

All of this material was removed to create a deep pool. The pool has

We also produced additional maps for proposed development
projects, a new Lake Book and the LGA’s annual events (annual meeting,
summer event and golf tournament).
We did not receive any calls on lost buoys or buoys that were floating
adrift this past season. The Lake George Power Squadron plans to update the
charts and we provided them with comments we received for the next iteration.
Near the end of 2009, the Salt and Sand Study Group met to outline
a study of current salt and sand road maintenance practices in the Lake
George watershed. The study will also look at the equipment used, alternative
practices, and the effects of current practices on environmentally critical areas.

For the Lake Steward program, we once again created maps showing
the water bodies where boats had been navigating just prior to entering Lake
George. One map depicts the entire East Coast. A second map focuses on
only the northeastern U.S., and shows lakes that are listed as infected by at
least one invasive species. These maps dramatically show how easy it is for
invasive species to be transported into Lake George. The maps were part
of a larger seasonal report on the Lake Steward Program.

rom January 2009 through June of 2010, the LGA’s Education
and Outreach Program served over 4,000 school-age children
through its Floating Classroom, stream monitoring field trips,
in-school education programs, summer family programs and various
educational events. Topics included lake geological history, water clarity
and chemistry, food webs and plankton, and invasive species. Designed to
encourage and promote lake awareness, stewardship, and protection, these
programs are presented to schools, scout troops, summer camps, and other
youth organizations, as well as young visitors touring our area.

In March 2010, engineers, municipal professionals, and CEOs attended a Lake George workshop on Alternative Septic System Design.
Sponsored by the LGA and the Champlain Watershed Improvement
Coalition of New York, the workshop was taught by a certified Onsite
Wastewater Training Network instructor.
In addition, the LGA has provided over 28 presentations to a
wide variety of audiences, including municipal employees, homeowner
and civic associations, community service
clubs, yachting and gardening clubs, as
well as colleagues and professionals in the
environmental field. Presentation topics
included: The West Brook Conservation
Initiative, Lake George Geology and Water
Quality, Rain Gardens, and the LGA Lake
Steward Program.
Each year, the LGA plans a
summer talk series for the general public.
In 2009, the series focused on Lake
George as an inspiration to local artists
and featured photographers, writers, and
painters. A key event of the series was
a book release party for Carl Heilman
II, held at Canoe Island Lodge, for his
newly released Lake George photography
book. The 2010 talk series covers lake-friendly living topics such as
“Landscaping with Native Plants,” offered in June, “Aquatic Invasive
Plants – Do’s and Don’ts,” offered in July, “Water Conservation,”
offered in August, and “Lawn Care and Pest Management,” offered in
September.
The LGA creates curriculum and designs activities for a number
of environmental events throughout the year, including the Environmental Field Days coordinated by Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE), the
Warren County Envirothon, the Crandall Park Discovery Event, the Lake
George Fishing Alliance’s Fishing Clinic, Warrensburg Career Day and
Adirondack Waterfest.
Floating Classroom
May 5, 2009 brought the arrival of the Rosalia Anna Ashby, custom designed for the LGA’s Floating Classroom program. The boat was
purchased from Corinthian Catamaran in Tarpon Springs, Florida and is
named after the mother of Bruce Ashby, an LGA board member whose
generous financial support helped to fund the purchase.
11
Since the purchase of the boat,
the LGA has almost doubled participation in the Floating Classroom program.
Not only school groups, but homeowner
and civic associations, tourists, and
municipal staff have participated; these
groups benefit from an increased appreciation and awareness of the Lake
and how to protect it. In 2010, the
LGA started to offer programs for the
first time to the general public, for two
hours every Wednesday during July and
August.
Over 1200 people came aboard
the Floating Classroom in 2009. As of
June 30, 2010, 536 people have participated.
Stream Monitoring Field Trips
In 2009, stream monitoring programs had a
total of 1090 participants. Students from Glens
Falls, South Glens Falls, Moriah, Lake Luzerne,
Queensbury, Whitehall, Bolton, Minerva,
Ticonderoga, and Lake George got a hands-on
look at the indicators of stream health and stream
monitoring. The LGA collaborated with staff from the Lake George Land
Conservancy (LGLC) on a field trip at one of their preserves, for students
from St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga. The students explored vernal pools
and planted trees. Our Creek Critters program was presented during the
summer to the Bolton Summer Camp.
Citizen Science
The Lake George Turtle Monitoring Program continued for a third
year. Data from 2007 and 2008 was compiled into a report. An additional
24 monitors were instructed during our 2009 training session, bringing the
total number of monitors to 80.

Once again the LGA coordinated volunteers for the Adirondack
Annual Common Loon Census. Now housed under the newly created
Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation at the Biodiversity Research
Institute, the census continues to provide researchers and managers with
valuable data about loons in the North Country. In 2009, 14 groups of
volunteers signed up to monitor loons on Saturday, July 18.

In 2009 we had another great summer of success for our Drop a
Brick on Zebra Mussels Program, an important awareness building and
monitoring program. Seven marinas and 44 individuals reported back to us
for the summer of 2009. All volunteers reported no mussels on their bricks.
Lake George turtle monitors spotted 411 turtles in 2009, including
Painted, Wood, Northern Map, Common Musk and Snapping
turtles. The LGA is working with DEC’s Endangered Species Unit to
gather much needed data on turtles in the Lake George watershed.
12
CSLAP (Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program)
The LGA had another very successful year of coordinating volunteers for New York’s CSLAP program; 2009 was our sixth year of participation. In 2009 seven volunteers collected water quality data from around
the lake eight times during the summer; seven volunteers are participating
in 2010.
Peter Leyh, an LGA member and CSLAP volunteer who samples
water near Gull Bay on the north end of the lake, recorded a 13.55m Secchi disk reading on September 2, which was the best reading for 2009 from
any of the 113 participating lakes in New York State.
LGA summer employee Jason Smith collects water
samples for the LGA’s 2009 Fireworks Impact Study.
Results showed no indication of a pollution problem,
but the LGA continues to monitor the issue.
In addition to the normal CSLAP sampling program, the LGA
conducted additional water quality sampling in 2009 to test the effects of
fireworks displays over the lake. Additional indicators needed to be tested,
separate from those typically used in the CSLAP program, so we devised a
new program to test for fireworks effects. The study was titled “An Initial Study into the Effects of Fireworks on Lake George” and the results
showed no indication that fireworks are causing a pollution problem. However, this is an issue that we plan to monitor, as new research continues to
be released in the field of emerging contaminants and water quality.
Additional Outreach Programs
To increase young people’s sense of lake awareness and appreciation, the LGA encourages students to draw upon their creative talents,
while advocating for the Lake. The LGA helps to coordinate annual
contests for students who write
holiday carols and design bookmarks about protecting Lake
George.
The Lake George
Bookmark Design Contest is
conducted each year in coordination with the Public Participation and
Outreach Committee of the Lake George Watershed Coalition. On one
side, the bookmark lists important facts about Lake George. On the
reverse, a student design, advocating for the protection of Lake George, is
displayed. Entries are received from 4th – 7th grade students from communities within the watershed, and are distributed to school
libraries, public libraries and other locations throughout the
region. In 2009, Kimberly Wright, a 7th grader at Bolton
Central School was the winner. Clare Gillman, a 5th grader
from Lake George Elementary created the winning design for
2010.

Lake George Lake Steward Program
Now in its third year, the LGA’s Lake Steward Program inspects
boats entering Lake George. Stewards look for and remove invasive
species, and educate boaters on how to prevent their spread. Stewards
are trained in inspection, identification and data collection by the LGA
and at the Adirondack Watershed Institute at Paul Smiths College, in
cooperation with the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program and the
Lake Champlain Basin Program.
In 2008 and 2009 the LGA acquired state funds through the
Lake George Watershed Coalition to provide the Steward Program. In
2010, state funds were not available. To keep this essential lake protection
program running, the LGA secured funds from the towns of Hague and
Ticonderoga, the town of Bolton’s Local Development Corporation, and
the Lake George Park Commission, in addition to those already provided
by the Helen V. Froehlich Foundation. In addition to inspection, lake
stewards collect data about the vessels entering and exiting the Lake.
During 2009, boats visited a total of 158 different water bodies in the two
weeks prior to launching in Lake George. Many of these water bodies
are known to have invasive species. Water bodies visited most often
included the Hudson River (65 visits), Lake Champlain (62 visits), Great
Sacandaga Lake, and Lake Hopatcong (NJ). The Hudson River contains
91 invasive species and Lake Champlain contains 62; the importance of
lake stewards at Lake George launch sites is apparent.
LGA lake stewards provide additional services throughout the
watershed as well. Early in the 2009 season, stewards assisted in garlic
mustard removal efforts at both Battlefield Campground and Rogers Rock
Campground. Stewards also assisted the NYSDEC and members of the
Lake George Fishing Alliance with stocking landlocked salmon in the
lake and learned about the impacts of invasives on the Lake George fishery
from a NYSDEC fisheries biologist. Stewards also set up interpretive displays at the Invasive Species Awareness Week table in Lake George Village
as well as at Adirondack Waterfest in Ticonderoga.
Spreading the Message -- Not the Weeds!
From Ticonderoga to Glens Falls, LGA staff gave presentations to
various community groups about invasive species, both terrestrial and aquatic.
In May of 2009, LGA Director of Education Emily DeBolt gave a presentation on the Lake Steward Program at the Annual New York State Federation of Lake Associations meeting in Hamilton, NY. Later in October,
Emily joined Meg Modley from the Lake Champlain Basin Program and
Eric Holmlund from Paul Smith College’s Adirondack Watershed Institute to give a joint presentation on a Regional Approach to Lake Steward Programs at the North American Lake Management Society’s 29th
International Symposium in Hartford, Connecticut. Our Lake Steward
Program on Lake George is a model program for other lakes across the
state and region.

Monika LaPlante removed three invasive species –
Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed and zebra
mussels - from the boats she inspected.

New Invasive Plant Identified – Wall Lettuce
In June of 2010, a new invasive terrestrial plant, Mycelis muralis,
commonly known as wall lettuce, was identified growing alongside 9L near
Dunham’s Bay in Lake George. Wall lettuce is one of several newer species placed on a watch list earlier in 2010 by the Adirondack Park Invasive
Plant Program. Citizens were asked to contact the LGA if they believed
the plant was growing on their property, and the LGA began to assess the
spread of this invasive plant throughout the watershed.
Wall lettuce, a new invasive terrestrial plant
identified by the LGA in June 2010 has been
found growing alongside Rt. 9L near Dunham’s Bay, also in Bolton, and just north of
the village of Lake George, on Flat Rock Road.
Forest Pest Outreach
The LGA is also concerned about invasive species on land; the health
of the trees in the Lake George watershed has a direct impact on our water
quality. The Asian Long-horned Beetle (ALB) and the Emerald Ash Borer
(EAB) kill trees by burrowing into them and have had a devastating impact
on tree populations in the Great Lakes and the Northeast regions.
In 2009, the LGA partnered with Cornell Cooperative Extension
and a local property management company in Bolton Landing to offer a
program to the community on “Healthy Trees & Healthy Views.” Our
staff attended training and assisted the Nature Conservancy with surveying
the watershed for signs of ALB. During August 2009, ALB Awareness
Month, we partnered with Cornell Cooperative Extension to hold two
informational talks and set up a display at the Firemen’s Family Festival in
Lake George Village to educate the public about these forest invaders.
LGA summer intern Jill Trunko inventories invasive species on
Speaker Heck Island. The LGA, in partnership with the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, is providing data to the State
of New York so management action can be taken on the islands.

Regional Coordination
The LGA attends meetings and coordinates other regional groups
on invasive species issues. Our membership on the Invasive Species Task
Force of the Lake George Watershed Coalition and the Adirondack Park
Invasive Plant Program Aquatic Nuisance Species Committee keeps us
informed of developments on the state level.
W
hile we continue to review and provide comments on proposed
development projects before local boards as needed, the LGA
has found that providing homeowners and municipalities with
solutions during the early stages of a project is much more productive,
and leads to greater overall positive change around the watershed. As a
consequence, property owners regularly call upon the LGA for assistance
and solutions on a wide range of projects, from dredging and rain gardens,
to dealing with unwanted geese.
This two-part comprehensive educational training program was used
by the towns of Lake George and Bolton for training credits. The discussions it prompted encouraged the town of Lake George to adopt a new
law banning phosphorus fertilizer. The town is the first in the watershed to adopt such a law, and the LGA played a key role in this effort.
In February of 2009 we held a roundtable for municipal representatives from around the lake to discuss the stream corridor regulations
proposed by the Lake George Park Commission. The success of this wellattended event led to the creation of an educational training program for

a brief introduction to Lake George geology, ecology and limnology, followed by a discussion of water quality indicators and a review of current
data. In early 2010, the towns of Lake George and Bolton both approved

the LGA’s Lake George-ology program for training credits
(which are needed by municipal board members).
Our work advising the town of Lake George
continued, with a focus on the issue of phosphorous
pollution in the Lake. The LGA played an instrumental role in helping the town pass a new local ordinance
banning the use of phosphorus fertilizer town wide.
In addition to talks about lake-friendly living
practices, such as rain gardens and shoreline buffers, we
also work with area residents to make their homes and
businesses more lake-friendly. We worked with LGA
members Tom and Dusty Putnam to help them design
native landscaping for their new home. This landscap- An alternative peat-moss septic system at the home of LGA members Tom &

catch vac
T
he LGA Catch Vac was made available to individual property owners
for the first time this past year. The Catch Vac is a trailer mounted
vacuum unit used to clean out stormwater catchments. It has proven to
be an economical and efficient way for public
works departments, businesses and homeowners to solve the problem of clogged basins.
A primary concern of not only the
LGA, but also the municipalities surrounding
the Lake, is ongoing sedimentation. Due to
necessary road sanding operations, lots of sand
finds its way to the Lake through stormwater
systems, adding significantly to the growth of
deltas and negatively impacting water quality.
The village and town of Lake George,
the town of Hadley, and the Quality Inn Lake
George have used the LGA Catch Vac in recent
years, as have individual homeowners, including
Buck Bryan and James Wolitarski, both in Northwest Bay, and Cathy LaBombard in Huletts Landing. The LGA expects to see expanded use of the Catch
Vac, because individual property owners can now lease it, and a professional
contractor is available to operate the equipment and remove the material.
The Catch Vac visited Buck Bryan’s property (left) and cleaned
five storm basins. Above left - before cleaning. At right - after.

2009 volunteers
Since 2004, Cathy LaBombard has monitored
and tested water quality – eight times a
summer – as an LGA volunteer for CSLAP.
(Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program)
Cheryl Lamb served as event chair of LGA’s 2009 & 2010 Summer Galas.
Both were a great success, and both sold out!
Two stream clean-up events were conducted in 2009, one at West
Brook in Lake George and the other at Stuart Brook in Bolton Landing.
Volunteers helped clean up the streams and also got a look at stream
monitoring and the indicators of stream health.
