Lake Monitoring Data Added to Web

The Division of Water has posted to DEC's website the 2016 reports for lakes sampled through the New York Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP), the volunteer lake monitoring program conducted by DEC and the New York Federation of Lake Associations. CSLAP provides data and information to lake residents, local communities, lake managers, and public agencies working together to understand and improve lake conditions. Trained CSLAP samplers have been instrumental in documenting harmful algal blooms, invasive species, and other environmental threats. These lake reports can be found on DEC's Water Reports by Counties webpage. More than 150 lakes across New York State were sampled through CSLAP in 2017, and summary reports for these lakes will be written before the start of the summer recreational season.
