***EXCITING NEWS FROM THE WATER QUALITY TEAM FOR 2023!

Waterfront Revitalization Project. On January 04, 2023 notification was received that  a Water Resource Agency grant was awarded. The award is for $175k (15% is local  $$s). This is a study grant to develop a comprehensive plan for Silver Lake. The study  area includes the lake, Lake District, and the Outlet. The study scope will include  everything from water quality and watershed issues to economic development, tourism,  and access to the lake along with anything you can think of that benefits/impacts Silver  Lake. The study is expected to take 1.5-2 years to complete and will result in a  comprehensive plan. Once this plan is completed implementation grants will be sought.  A broad-based committee will be established and populated over the next several months. A consultant is also being identified. There will be SLA representation on this committee. This fits in with the Dredging Project.  


Dredging Project. A two-pronged effort is underway. A property lease agreement is  being finalized along with a comprehensive dredging plan that will be submitted to DEC  for approval. The goal is to have both efforts in place by mid-year 2023 so that grant applications for the dredging project can be submitted with an eye toward  implementation in fall/winter 2024. There will be a maintenance piece within the dredging plan. There appears to be economic development buy in and there will be opportunities for SLA members to help with area boat tours. 


*** Ron Norton attended the January 19, 2023, SLWC meeting, representing the Silver Lake Association (SLA).  Steven Perkins (from Wyoming County) updated the group on the above actives relevant to Silver Lake.

THE 2023 SLA Water Quality GOLF TOURNAMENT will be July 22, 2023, at   9:00 am

***PLANT MILKWEED IN 2023!!

Monarch butterflies are one of the most beautiful and recognizable butterfly species in North America.  In addition to being effective pollinators, monarchs are widely known for their multi-generational migration from the northern United States and Canada to their overwintering spots in Mexico and Southern California.  Sadly, over the past two decades the monarch numbers east of the Rockies have fallen by 80 to 90 percent. The monarch’s decline is in large measure due to shrinking milkweed habitat.  SLAWQ is working on a plan for the purchase and distribution of the 

 Butterfly Milkweed/Monarch Flower (Asclepias Tuberosa) to lake residents.  In addition, they plan to replant the areas where the Japanese Knotweed was removed.  The SLAWQ will be fine tuning this plan for the spring!
