Watershed Symposium Black Creek and Oatka Creek 28 October 2010 Joseph Makarewicz Department of Environmental Science and Biology State University of New York The College at Brockport USA The Genesee River Watershed Remediation Study

Cause ?

Coastal Public Issues Algae blooms, algae washing up on waterfront Erosion, sedimentation, turbid water, navigation impairments, Property loss Beach closings - Ontario Beach in Rochester, NY, was closed 155 days in Invasive species Habitat destruction Nutrient enrichment Fish consumption advisories due to toxicants Six Areas of Concern (Eighteenmile Creek, Oswego River, Niagara River, Hamilton Harbor, Toronto and Region, and the Bay of Quinte) South Shoreline of Lake Ontario is impaired. Officially place on the 303D list as of May 2010.

Genesee River

Genesee River delivers 662,277 tons of soil 368 tons of phosphorus Where is it coming from?

The overall goal is to reduce the load of nutrients and soil into Lake Ontario 1.First systematic assessment of the Genesee River watershed 2.Identification and prioritization of nutrient sources of various sub-watersheds: Oatka Creek, Black Creek, Canaseraga Creek, Honeoye Creek, Upper Genesee, etc, 3.Development of Soil and Water Assessment Tool model: Oatka, Black, Canaseraga, Genesee 4.These data are available to assist in the planning process.
