A Nine Element Watershed Management Plan is a plan that describes a community’s water quality concerns and provides a strategy to address those concerns. Nine Element Plans are developed in partnership with people who live, work, visit, and enjoy the watershed and its water resources, with guidance from state and local agencies.
The Town is completing this plan with support from the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board (CNY RPDB) and in cooperation with a Watershed Advisory Committee.
The Nine Element Plan will focus on Skaneateles Lake’s long-term future and will identify measures to protect water quality throughout the entire watershed.
This planning process was initiated in 2022, with the first public meeting held in June 2022. At this second public meeting, we will discuss the Plan’s recommendations and how to begin implementing them in 2024.
Public participation is vital to this process! Please plan on attending this meeting to learn more about how climate change, development, and mitigation measures in the watershed are expected to affect the lake’s long-term future.
