Eagle Lake, New York

and Lake Champlain, in the scenic Adirondack Park. This
site is an information center for the Eagle Lake Property Owners Inc., and their environmental concerns and issues, as well as recreation
resources for the area. |

| Recent Events on Eagle Lake |
| |
The ELPOI has secured permits to hand harvest and place bethic barriers in waters under 2 meters. There is no experation date on the permit as long as a yearly progress report is filed with the APA. This now allows our divers to work in any area of the lake. |
| |
| Rolf Tiedemann and Andy Belkevich recently removed a beaver dam from the lake that was located between the boat launch and the spillway. This dam has been responsible for the high lake level this summer, and since it's removal the lake has returned to its' normal level, and is in the process of reaching an appropriate level to avoid property damage due to ice this winter. |
|
| As we have used all of the 7,0002 feet of mill wire donated to us for use as a benthic barriers, the ELPOI has purchased an additional ~#3,600 of ballast, and 60,0002 feet of lumber tarp material for use as additional benthic barriers. The use of this new material has been approved by the NYS DEC. We are looking for volunteers to help stitch these new mats together, please contact Bill Armeno, or Harry Walton to co-ordinate a time to volunteer! |
|
|
| The Board has voted to resume matting of milfoil in Eagle Lake based on their feeling that the Beneficial Use Determination, from the NYS DEC, for the use of mill wire as a benthic barrier in Eagle Lake is sufficient to remove all doubts as to it's safe use in the lake. |
|
|
| Purple Loosestrife has been sighted on Eagle Lake and has become established in Penfield Pond! Please take action against anymore plants that may appear before this invasive becomes a bigger problem! |
| |
|
| Thank you for your support in helping to make ELPOI's goal of maintaining our lake and its surrounding shorelines a reality. |
