Topic: Erosion/Sedimentation • Comment submitted by Greg Tupper, Brewerton, NY Volmer/Black Creek in the Town of Cicero during periods of moderate to heavy rainfall or during spring runoff causes 1/2 to 3/4 of the total surface area of the Lower South Bay area of Oneida Lake to turn chocolate brown. The duration of heavy silt depositing into Oneida Lake can continue for a few days to as long as a few weeks. I recommend that Volmer/Black Creek be added to the list of creeks in the watershed that are monitored and that contribute to excessive quantities of silt into the lake. Topic: Exotic Species • Comment submitted by Mr. Williams I am very concerned about animal changes – fishing, bait, waterfowl, etc. Topic: Flooding and Water Level Management Public meetings were held at Sylvan Beach and Cicero to present the Flooding and Water Level Management recommendations. Homeowners at the Sylvan Beach meeting emphasized their concern for beach erosion, logjams and vegetative debris, potential impacts from the Ava landfill, liquid fertilizer and agricultural runoff, septic waste, and the impacts of water level changes on shoreline erosion. • Comment submitted by Leo Bitz, Verona Beach, NY Oneida Lake lies west to east and prevailing winds blow west of northwest. I’m in favor of present water levels for the following reasons: If you lower water levels we (on east shore) end up with sand bars about 200 feet out from shore and we have stagnant water from sand bars to break walls. Wildlife is better off because seaweed grows in patches in sandy bottom which they feed on and they also travel close to shore and clean up anything edible next to shore. Also, if we have sand bars out front and we have strong winds for a long period of time, we can end up with sand accumulation on our lawns. However, I do not think water levels should be maintained any higher than what we have at present. Present water conditions also have a cleansing action for debris built up in limestone in from of breakwalls. • Comment submitted by Samuel P. Cimilluca, CNY Waterways Many comments on why and how we flood for the last 15-20 years. One thing many and myself express is nothing has been done to help us rid the floodwaters. That is one of our biggest problems. We have been made known the Corps of Engineers recommendations but no one, Canal Corporation, DEC or T-way, want to do anything to help. Thank you. page 106 Final Report-Linked
