Preserving and enhancing the water quality, scenic beauty and ecological health of the lakes, streams and watersheds of the Chautauqua region.
Celebrating our Silver Anniversary!
This year, the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy is celebrating 25 years of land conservation
and watershed education in Chautauqua County! Over the past quarter century, we have been
able to conserve 818 acres of land and 2 miles of shoreline around Chautauqua Lake and Outlet
and provide numerous watershed education and stewardship programs. We could not have done
it without the generous support of our many members and friends, and we thank each of you for
being a part of our success!
Conservation Focus: Goose Creek
Goose Creek is the largest contributor of water to Chautauqua
Lake as well as the largest contributor of sediment and nutrients
(phosphorus and nitrogen) to Chautauqua Lake. Recognizing
this, CWC has placed a focus on the conservation and restoration
of Goose Creek.
Over the past three years, CWC has facilitated four Goose
Creek erosion control and agricultural nutrient management
projects, which have been awarded $640,000 in federal, state,
county and private grant funds to partner agencies and which
will be completed in 2015 or 2016.
In 2011, with your support, we conserved 30 acres of wetlands
and floodplain containing 3,043 feet (0.58 mile) of creek bank
along the lowest leg of Goose Creek. Now, in 2015, with a
generous lead gift from Southern Tier Brewing Company, CWC
GooseCreek,thelargesttributarytoChautauquaLake.
conserved 21 acres that are bisected by Goose Creek on Hoag
Road in
Ashville. We need to raise an additional $13,000 for a preserve
management plan, signage and permanent protection funds for
this site. The CWC is currently working to conserve a third Goose
Creek site, a 35-acre site with nearly ½–mile of creek bank and
floodplain wetlands. With your financial help, we will potentially
be able to permanently protect a total riparian creek bank frontage
of 1.3 miles!

Ashville
Conserving these forested wetland floodplain sites on Goose Creek
will not only help protect water quality and quantity but also help
to provide flood control and limit the amount of sedimentation and
pollution reaching Chautauqua Lake from the Goose Creek subwatershed. Preserve stewards are needed for these properties to
mow, trim and maintain trails. Volunteers will also be needed for
sign placement. If interested, please contact the CWC.
CWC: Celebrating 25 Years Of Conservation!
2015 MARKS OUR 25TH YEAR

We have conserved 818 acres of land and 2 miles of shoreline, established
23 nature preserves and acquired a conservation easement on 16 acres of steep
lakeshore forest at the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center. We led the effort
for the conservation of the Cheney Farm Lakeshore, raised $140,000 toward
the conservation of the Stow Farm Lakeshore and participated in the effort to
conserve Midway Park as a State Park. We promoted the use of phosphatefree lawn fertilizers and dishwasher detergents, providing the impetus, technical assistance and support for the County Legislature to enact a law regulating their use. We have held numerous educational workshops, presentations,
programs, nature hikes, waterfront cleanups and other events for area residents, school children, elected officials, natural resource professionals and
local businesses and organizations to give them the knowledge and tools to
make informed water and land use decisions in order to protect and restore
the watershed functions of Chautauqua County’s lakes, wetlands and streams.
Of course, none of this work could have been accomplished without the
support, help and cooperation of our many donors, grantors, volunteers and
friends throughout the years. We greatly appreciate all of you!
When I stop and reflect on the places that have been conserved for generations
to come through our work and our partnerships, it gives me a real sense that
we are making a tangible, lasting difference. It’s that sense of place and
connection to our outdoor heritage here in Chautauqua County that resonates
with me and the thousands of people who have supported the CWC’s mission
over the past quarter century.
While we’ve had great success in our first 25 years, there is still a lot of work
to be done. In some respects, the urgency of our mission is more important

LAND CONSERVATION: Land Donations Abound!
Stratton Donates Second Creek Site
CWC member and Preserve Steward Jay Stratton recently donated 22 acres of beautiful
riparian forest land in the upper Chautauqua Gorge area of Chautauqua Creek, his second
donation of land to Conservancy. His first was 22 acres on Route 430 west of Mayville,
conserving the East Branch of Chautauqua Creek. The new donation, named the Chautauqua Creek Oxbow Forest Preserve, has a wonderful assemblage of wildflowers and
includes 2,153 feet of creek bank (0.4 mile). The conservation of this site also helps
protect the watershed of Chautauqua Creek upstream of the Village of Westfield public
drinking water supply. We will be installing a safe path down the steep valley slope,
making stormwater and parking improvements and marking a looped trail through the
property. This Chautauqua Creek Preserve Acquisition & Access Project was supported
with $11,000 in funding from the New York State Conservation Partnership Program and
New York’s Environmental Protection Fund. The NYSCPP is administered by the Land
Trust Alliance in coordination with the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
Holt Appraisals and the Northern Chautauqua County Community Foundation provided
a $1,000 grant and $500 grant, respectively, toward the local match for this project.
Thank you Jay for this generous land donation!

Franklin and Hall Donate Land to Expand Hendrickson Preserve
Dennis Franklin and Kathy Hall recently donated a 2.3-acre parcel of land to the CWC. The site has a forested stream
corridor and wetland with 585 feet of stream length winding through the property. The site is located adjacent and upstream from CWC’s Randy Allen Hendrickson Preserve in West Ellicott, thus expanding the R.A. Hendrickson Preserve
to a total of 18.2 acres. Thank you Dennis, Mary and Kathy!
Johnson Donates Wetland Site
Richard Johnson of Cassadaga has donated 42 acres of floodplain
wetlands in memory of his wife Joyce, who was a great lover of
birds. The new Joyce Johnson Bird Sanctuary protects over ½ a
mile of Cassadaga Creek riparian wetlands just downstream of
Cassadaga Lake. With this acquisition, we now protect 192 acres
of high value wetlands and forest adjacent to Cassadaga Creek
in the Town of Stockton. Cassadaga Creek is home to some of
the rarest mollusks (freshwater clams) in New York State.
Thank you, Dick, for this wonderful donation!

Interested in Conserving Your Land?
Over the last 25 years, generous
community members have donated
12 parcels of land to the CWC –
for a total of 323 acres or 44% of
CWC’s nature preserve acreage!
CWC is looking to conserve and restore additional stream headwater
forests, stream corridors and wetlands that are essential for capturing,
storing, filtering and delivering clean waters for our lakes, drinking
water supplies and fish and wildlife across Chautauqua County.
If you have land that you believe may be providing these watershed
functions or holds other special habitat value, please contact CWC to
explore the many different conservation options and benefits available.

Buffers Are Blossoming
We are delighted to see that landowners are planting or allowing natural vegetative buffers to flourish along much of the
Chautauqua Lake shoreline, most of which are growing as “no mow zones” 5 to 30 feet wide.
How important are healthy natural shorelands like these to
the health of the Lake? The National Lakes Assessment:
A Collaborative Survey of the Nation’s Lakes,
coordinated by the US Environmental Protection Agency
to gauge the condition of the nation’s lakes, found that of
the indicators measured in the study, degraded lakeshore
habitat is the most significant stressor to biological
integrity of lakes across the country. The NLA results
show that lakes in poor condition are three times more
likely to have shoreline habitat that is in poor biological
condition than other lakes.
The NLA also states that, “local, state, and national
initiatives should center on shoreline habitats, particularly
vegetative cover, and nutrient loads to protect the integrity
of lakes . . . Development and disturbance along lakeshores (such as tree removal and residential construction)
impacts the integrity of lakeshore and shallow water
habitats, affecting terrestrial and aquatic biota alike.”
Thisisoneofmanylakeshorebuffersprovidinghabitat
and ilteringpollutantstoprotectChautauquaLake.
In recent years we have also learned from research by Robert Johnson of the Cornell University Research Ponds that
abundant native shoreline vegetation provides essential habitat for aquatic insects that have the ability to control Eurasian watermilfoil, the most problematic exotic invasive plant species in Chautauqua Lake. When shoreline vegetation
is not present, these beneficial insects cannot hide from predators and cannot reproduce in large numbers.
Ready to naturalize your shoreline? The easiest way to start is to stop mowing a strip of 5 to 50 feet along your
lakeshore. Fencing the site from deer, woodchucks and rabbits will help shoreline-suited trees and shrubs such as
red maple, willow and buttonbush survive. Planting water-loving species such as red maples, willows and spicebush
will provide strong roots to resist soil erosion and intercept nutrients before they reach the lake. Want more shoreline
landscaping ideas? Visit our website or call the CWC at 664-2166 for a personalized conservation consultation. Our
technical assistance is free, so call today to create a healthy landscape for a healthy lake.
Landowners who provide a lake-friendly environment with a lakeshore buffer and who practice healthy yard care
techniques may be eligible for recognition with “Watershed Steward” signs for their properties.

AREA WATERSHED NEWS
Lake Effect Phosphorus (by Tom Cherry, Chautauqua Utility District)
During Bill Clinton’s presidency, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency became very concerned about “dead
zones” in the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay. They attributed the dead zones to nutrients (mainly phosphorus)
from the watersheds of these two water bodies. The USEPA required the states within these watersheds to substantially
reduce the amount of phosphorus entering their water bodies from point sources like wastewater plants and nonpoint
sources like watershed runoff. Wastewater plants don’t make phosphorus. It comes primarily from human waste and
arrives at the wastewater plants dissolved in the influent raw sewage. Most wastewater plants can remove about 50% of
the phosphorus they receive daily, but very few were designed to remove all of the phosphorus. Most of the wastewater
plants in the Chautauqua Lake watershed were built in the 1970s under the USEPA and NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Clean Water Act funding program, and the dollars for phosphorus removal just weren’t available.
The Chautauqua Institution’s sewage is treated at a 1978 wastewater plant owned and operated by the Chautauqua Utility District. The operators of this facility have been very proactive about improving phosphorus removal and educating
the public about phosphorus discharged in detergents and lawn fertilizers. They also have experimented for years with
methods to get better removals of all nutrients. The operators of the CUD wastewater plant have achieved 85% removals
of phosphorus since 2013 by chemical addition, and the property owners of Chautauqua voted and approved the expenditure of up to $8 million in the next three years to upgrade the wastewater plant to get better than 96% removal of
phosphorus and other nutrients. This increased removal is required to satisfy the phosphorus Total Maximum Daily Load
for Chautauqua Lake generated by the NYSDEC for the USEPA. The final design for the $8 million wastewater upgrade
has been completed, and construction is projected to be completed by June 2018.
County Legislature Authorizes Upgrade of NCLSD Mayville Plant
On May 27th, the Chautauqua County Legislature voted to authorize the $2.8 million in
expenditures necessary for the North Chautauqua Lake Sewer District to proceed with
a capital project to upgrade its plant in Mayville to remove approximately 90% of the phosphorus (a primary nutrient fueling lake algae and plant growth) from its effluent. This action
is to meet the Total Maximum Daily Load Limit established for that plant intended to reduce
algae growth and improve water quality in Chautauqua Lake. This proposed project does not
include capacity expansion to accept wastewater from future lake sewer district expansions.
County Sewer Districts Study Lake-Wide Sewer Systems
(by Pierre Chagnon, Chautauqua County Legislator)
The Integrated Sewage Management Plan for Chautauqua Lake identified two initiatives that would result in significant
phosphorus reductions and sanitary improvements to the lake. The first involves improvements at the South and Center
Chautauqua Lake Sewer District’s wastewater treatment plant coupled with a sewer district extension along Route 394
from Ashville to Prendergast Point. The second involves an expansion of the North Chautauqua Lake Sewer District’s
wastewater treatment plant, annexation of the Chautauqua Heights Sewer District (Chautauqua Lake Estates) and a
sewer district expansion along Route 430 from Hartfield to Midway Park. The South and Center Chautauqua Lake
Sewer Districts have entered into an agreement with O’Brien & Gere Engineers to produce a sewer extension map and
plan in accordance with the ISMP for the unsewered shoreland areas on the west side of the lake. The North Chautauqua
Lake Sewer District has entered into an agreement with AECOM Technical Services to produce the same for the east
side of the lake. Both of these engineering reports were developed in conformance with the funding requirements of
the NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation, and a State Consolidated Funding Application has been submitted to
reimburse each district for this work. These engineering reports have just been completed. The Northern Chautauqua
Lake Sewer District has applied for a waiver of its 2018 treatment plant upgrade deadline to gain additional time to
engineer and pursue upgrading and enlarging the Mayville plant to accept the projected wastewater load from the areas
proposed to be sewered on the east side of Chautauqua Lake. The actual engineering design of both proposed system
extensions remains to be undertaken. District, County, State and federal leaders are seeking State and federal funding
to cover as much of the engineering and capital costs of these projects as possible.

Stop The Invasion!
In March, a NYS ban on invasive species went into effect, making it illegal to buy, sell
or transport 126 species identified as invasive by the NYS Department of Environmental
Conservation. Invasive species are non-native plants, animals and pathogens that can cause
harm to the environment, the economy or human health. The DEC calls them a form of biological pollution, and their negative effects include habitat degradation and loss (including
less productive forests and degraded freshwaters); the loss of native fish, wildlife and tree
species; the loss of recreational opportunities and income; and crop damage and diseases
in humans and livestock.
The prohibited list includes 69 plants, 15 fish, 17 aquatic invertebrates, 13 terrestrial invertebrates, 5 vertebrates and 7 species of algae, bacteria and fungi. In addition, 29 species are
“regulated,” meaning that, while they may be sold and transported, they may not be knowingly introduced on or near public lands or natural areas. For the official regulations and a
complete list of banned species, visit www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/93848.html.

2015 Golf Tournament A Success!
For the fourth year in a row, the CWC was the beneficiary of the Chautauqua Golf Club’s annual Pro-Am Golf Tournament, which was held on June 22nd. The tournament featured WNY PGA professionals paired with amateurs in a team
competition, as well as individual competition for the men and women professionals. A total of 120 golfers participated
in the event. The winning men’s foursome included amateurs Pete Skurzewski, Shaun Fadale, Brian Wojcinski and
PGA pro Tom Keenan. The winning women’s team included amateurs Peg Barrett, Betsy Morando, Jennifer Flanagan,
Pat Peters and pro Patty Jordan Smith. Rob Krajewski of Orchard Park Country Club shot a 63, and Cindy Miller of the
LPGA Legends Tour shot a 74 to win the professional events.
This year’s tournament netted $25,000 for the Conservancy, which is being used towards the conservation and restoration of sensitive lakeshore and tributary sites. This includes major stream bank conservation projects on Goose Creek
and Dewittville Creek, both of which will significantly reduce soil erosion on these tributaries and, as a result, reduce
the amount of pollution and sedimentation reaching the Lake and fueling plant growth. The 2016 tournament has been
scheduled for Monday, June 27th – mark your calendars!

Thank You to the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation for the addition of an iPad to our field equipment!
The iPad is being used by our field conservationists to perform field research, conduct biological inventories on our
preserves, draft preserve management plans and to map new trails and/or improve existing trails on our preserves.
Improvements Made To CWC Preserves
On July 31st, more than 50 volunteers from Cummins’ Jamestown Engine Plant spent a day with CWC to help with
improvements to the Loomis Goose Creek Preserve in North Harmony and the Dobbins Woods Preserve in Ashville.
Volunteers at the Dobbins Woods site performed maintenance and improvements to the walking trail there, and volunteers at the Goose Creek site began work on the installation of a wood chip trail and a kayak launch. CWC hopes to
finish the trail and launch by the end of the summer. Many thanks to Cummins and their volunteers for their help with
these projects!
