A Storm-water Implementation Plan, was developed for our four kettle lakes in 2017. This was funded through the National Fish and Wildlife, Chesapeake Bay Capacity Grant, under the administration of Syracuse University's Environmental Finance Center, in collaboration with Cortland County Soil & Water District. Plans were developed with public participation by Princeton Hydro LLC. You can see our plan here:
We are pleased to have a close working relationship and the support of Cortland County Soil and Water Conservation District.
Solitude has submitted Song Lakes application to the DEC. The DEC had a few questions about our species of millfoil, Northern, Hybrid etc. which are being addressed. We are still hopeful to receive some form of approval to allow a treatment this season.
