Almond Lake (0503-0003) 02050104/030 *** Water Quality * Natural Resources ** County |
Recommendations DEC should consider reclassifying lake to C because its primary use is for flood control, making it unsuitable for swimming. DEC should work with Army Corps to clean out sediment behind dam. Commitments DEC will require disinfection for Alfred sewage treatment plant (STP) permit renewal. Alfred will upgrade its STP. Received Bond Act grant 97-98. |
A sediment study was completed - no apparent problems to the existing flood storage of the structure. To costly to clean out sediment - DEC and Flood Control has more info |

Canacadea Creek (0503-0008) (outlet of Almond Lake to mouth) 02050104/030 *** Water Quality *** Natural Resources ** County |
Recommendations DEC should track down cause and source of toxicity. DEC should increase biological monitoring and testing |
|
|
Canisteo River (below Hornell to Adrian) (0503-0001) 02050104/070 *** Water Quality *** Natural Resources ** County |
Commitments DEC will continue RIBS/SBU sampling begun in 1998 Dec will conduct intensive biomonitoring/toxics mini-survey in 2003 |
USC assessed road ditches and road banks for erosion potential |
|
Canisteo River (Adrian to Addison) (0503-0006) 02050104/070 ** Water Quality *** Natural Resources *** County |
Commitments Steuben SWCD will provide data to verify that silt/sed & streambank erosion are known as pollutants & source. Steuben County will work on tribs of this segment in Summer 2001 (one of highest priority locations in the County and subbasin) |
USC assessed road ditches and road banks for erosion potential |
|
Troups Creek (0503- 02050104/110 ** Water Quality *** Natural Resources *** County |
Recommendations Find $200K to complement existing funding commitments for Troupsburg to construct treatment plant and sewers. Commitments Steuben SWCD will install streambank stabilization through shared services program in the hamlet of Troupsburg (may be related to onsite system failures) Village of Troupsburg has submitted a Bond Act/EPF application for a wastewater collection and treatment system to mitigate the onsite problems that are impacting Troups Creek. |
1/3 completed -- looking for additional grant dollars |

Tioga River (0503-0004) (02050104/170,180) *** Water Quality *** Natural Resources ** County |
Recommendations U.S.Army Corps of Engineers should fund enhanced streambank stabilization below dams. Commitments Pennsylvania is developing an AMD (acid mine drainage) TMDL. U.S.Army Corps of Engineers is blending water from Tioga (acid) & Hammond (clean) Reservoirs to overcome AMD effect Steuben County is installing streambank stabilization in tribs to counteract erosion due to dam releases. |
