The rainfall during the night of 7/28-29 revealed problem areas that can be addressed. They just need to be documented. Water washing across a roadway or through catch basins that are frequently clogged or blocked is something that can be remediated.
For the Individual homeowner, if you see areas on your own property that washed out or where water was a problem, those are things that can be fixed. Managing stormwater on our own properties and as a municipality can help reduce contaminants entering our lake.

Copper Sulfate or GreenClean?

They both kill algae, but they work very differently:
⚠️ Copper Sulfate How it works: Heavy-metal compound that kills algae over 3–4 days. The Downside: Copper never breaks down. It sinks and builds up in bottom sediment. Risks: Can be toxic to fish (especially in soft water) and kills beneficial bacteria.
✨ GreenClean How it works: Fast-acting oxidizer that destroys algae on contact in minutes. The Benefit: Safe for fish, plants, and aquatic wildlife when used as directed. Eco-Friendly: Leaves zero heavy metal residue behind. It breaks down into just water and oxygen.

The Takeaway: GreenClean is the eco-friendlier, fish-safe choice, while Copper Sulfate is a traditional heavy metal that accumulates over time.

Ever wonder why some environmental laws take so long to pass in New York? 🏛️
Right now, legislation that had been proposed, Assembly Bill A4514 or Senate Bill S5936, to allow nutrient inactivation (like aluminum sulfate (Alum) to fight toxic harmful algal blooms in our lakes) is dead in the water (pun intended). While it passed in the NY State Senate, it stalled in committee in the NY State Assembly.
🔄 Back to the drawing board: Since both the NY State Senate and Assembly failed to pass their respective versions of the bill before the legislative session ended, the process has to start all over with a new bill introduced in each house after January 1, 2027.
An interesting note: The versions that were introduced for the 2023-2024 legislative session never made it out of committee.
🚫 Current impact: For now, these specific treatments remain restricted for broader lake management in New York.

The New York State Legislature concluded its regular session on Friday, June 5, 2026, after both the state Senate and the state Assembly wrapped up their final votes and adjourned for the year.
Therefore, the nutrient inactivation legislation that had passed the NYS Senate and was still in committee in the NYS Assembly will have to be reintroduced in the new legislative session commencing January 1, 2027.
