Owasco's problems not too big to fix
While data and observation show that Owasco Lake is steadily deteriorating, the experts say it's not too late to save the lake.
“Yes, the conditions are worsening, but we still have time to prevent an extremely bad situation,” said Marion Babyszak, director of the Finger Lakes Institute, an organization that studies conditions of all the Finger Lakes and recently deemed Owasco the worst. “Remediation is possible if it's taken seriously now.”
State Sen. Mike Nozzolio held a heavily attended meeting to gather information from stakeholders about the lake's conditions in Emerson Park on July 6. Since then, Nozzolio has secured $425,000 in state funding to address critical problems of Owasco Lake. Nozzolio has also created a plan addressing several lake issues that he is working with local groups and officials to implement.
