Residents urge joint committee to tackle sediment ponds, phosphorus runoff
Summary
Multiple residents told the board sediment ponds and phosphorus run-off are worsening algal problems in the lake and urged formation of a town-LGA-county committee to pursue dredging, grant opportunities and long‑term management.
Several residents described recurring sediment and nutrient runoff into the lake and asked the town to coordinate with the Lake George Association (LGA) and Warren County agencies to address multiple sediment basins. One commenter said the problem “affects 25 posses along the lake” and urged a joint approach to identify grant funding and remediation steps.
Speaker 5 urged the board to convene stakeholders, including Warren County Soil and Water and LGA, and to explore grant opportunities and property-restoration options if basins are to be abandoned. The board asked staff (Tim) to investigate potential next steps and report back at the next meeting.
