Lake Assessment

[Bruce Willett]

Hello Hudson SCGISsters,

Does anybody know of or is or part of a lake management consulting group that might be able to do an independent lake - watershed assessment regarding watershed health?  My Mom's home and where I grew up is part of a lake community in Ridgefield, Connecticut.  Small lake 45 acres with weed and algae issues.  The association has been spending a lot of money over many years treating with chemicals and band-aiding the problem.  The Pond and Lake Connection currently holds the contract.  I have tried over the years to get some more information from them but they haven't been that cooperative. I don't manage the program.  Of course I have suggested a more holistic method of managing the watershed.  I am not an expert so an independent consultant would be good.

Thanks,

bruce

I was recommended to Northeast Aquatic Research by Lindsay Yoder, Aquatic Programs Coordinator and Coordinator of Lower Hudson PRISM's Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Program. Hoping to have them work on an invasive species management plan for Chodikee Lake in the Town of Lloyd next year. They put together a proposal which seemed pretty comprehensive, including studying the chemistry of the lake and native plants as well, and it was less expensive than I thought it would be for the work involved. I spoke with Alejendro ("A.J.", info below) and he explained his approach to me clearly and professionally.
