On November 21, 2011, the Conesus Lake Association sent our comments to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regarding the draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (dSGEIS) on horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) as a method of gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale. The letter reviews our adopted position (March 2011), and our concern about moving forward with permitting prior to the completion of Federal and State research into the implications of hydrofracking on critical water and related land resource issues. Until the completion of these Government studies, the CLA believes that the current New York State moratorium on hydrofracking should be extended; and no drilling permits issued. Please contact the CLA at info@conesuslake.org with any questions and concerns.

The “ALERTS” system is designed to advise lake area residents of any widespread urgent situation that occurs during the course of the year.
Some examples of what might be considered an alert are:
The CLA’s news service, “Conesus Lake News”, is designed to communicate non-time-critical, nice-to-know information to lake residents. Things like:
If you want “NEWS” or “ALERTS” automatically sent to your e-mail address when they occur, please complete the following form:
When the Conesus Lake Watershed Management Plan (CLWMP) was adopted in 2003, a green light was given to 34 significant action items. One of them was the creation and distribution of a lake-friendly brochure full of “to-do’s” and “not-to-do’s”.
The objective of this brochure – entitled “Conesus Lake Watershed: Is It Worth Protecting?” – was to help all those living in the Conesus Lake watershed better understand what can and should be done to bring the lake back to the way it was centuries ago. OR at least as it was in our great-grandparents’ day.
The 12-page brochure covers a wide range of topics, from best management practices for agriculture to intelligent lawn care, from controlling runoff to dealing with problematic aquatic weeds and algae.
The Conesus Lake Watershed Council, with financial support from a state grant given to the Conesus Lake Association, has ensured that funds were available to print and mail this user-friendly brochure to every household in the watershed, not just to lakeshore residents. The CLA will take the lead in mailing to all those living around the perimeter of Conesus Lake.
CLA member families who have paid their 2005 annual dues by the middle of March 2005 will receive a copy of this brochure along with their 2005 Lake Directory, in April. Families who have not paid their 2005 dues by that date, or lakeshore families who are not CLA members, will receive their copy of the “Conesus Lake: Is It Worth Protecting” brochure by itself. “
The Watershed Management Council and CLA’s objective, to put these brochures in the hands of virtually every homeowner or renter in the watershed in April, will allow everyone to read, digest and then put its many smart ideas into practice this year.
Read the brochure from cover to cover, and keep it handy as a reference. Remember, each one of us in the watershed needs to do our part to preserve the treasure that is Conesus Lake.
...
In an effort to raise sensitivity about the land surrounding Conesus Lake Watershed, the Conesus Lake Association has worked in concert with town, county, and state officials to create several plans that will accomplish this. The CLA gratefully acknowledges the efforts of these individuals and entities to date and looks forward to full implementation of these studies and plans.
