LoHud has picked up the story on our [Mohegan Lake] copper sulfate applications. Lake Carmel Town Supervisor Maureen Fleming says they are going to apply copper sulfate but that's only a "temporary solution," which is true. However, they definitely won't be applying any copper sulfate to Lake Carmel this year. We worked for a good 9 months to get the DEC permit to apply it.
While it's only a temporary solution, it works--really well. We are aiming for an aluminum sulfate permit which is slightly longer term at 3 to five years. Still a temporary solution.

Mohegan Lake needs Yorktown to step up and sewer the houses around the lake that aren't already, at a minimum, to have any significant impact to the long-term health of the lake. Blue-green algae is a real problem all over New York State and I hope we can all join together and find a real long-term solution.
Won't you join me?
Hey, look at this photo of a foxy fox in front of our bloom last year. Will put up an after picture, but suffice it to say, we have no algae there this year! Copper sulfate! Hook it to my vein!
