Recommendation<br />
Review current research on sedimentation <strong>and</strong> explore<br />
viable approaches to sediment removal <strong>and</strong> alternative<br />
remediation ef<strong>for</strong>ts. Develop a discussion group to<br />
explore options <strong>and</strong> opportunities <strong>for</strong> improved recreation<br />
<strong>and</strong> fisheries based on current research.<br />
Erect educational posters/displays/kiosks at public parks<br />
along the lakeshore to highlight environmental conditions<br />
<strong>and</strong> current projects.<br />
Other<br />
Continue supporting tributary monitoring ef<strong>for</strong>ts to<br />
document success of implemented measures.<br />
Work with state <strong>and</strong> federal agencies to establish a<br />
funding program to address the smaller erosion problems<br />
that effect individual properties.<br />
Encourage/arrange aerial photography to document the<br />
problem of erosion <strong>and</strong> sedimentation.<br />

Notes:<br />
1 Very serious problems with bank erosion exist on Cowaselon Creek. Natural stream design in accordance with the<br />
principles of fluvial geomorphology needs to be incorporated. This involves characterizing the reaches according to<br />
a reference by David L. Rosgen titled, “A Classification of Natural Rivers.”<br />
2 In 1995, <strong>Oneida</strong> <strong>and</strong> Madison County SWCDs completed a streambank erosion inventory on <strong>Oneida</strong> Creek.<br />
Approximately 17 areas along the creek were identified as eroding more than 10 tons of soil per year. These stream<br />
segments contribute to the estimated erosion rate of 1,000 tons per year generated from streambank erosion.<br />
