The Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP) is a volunteer lake monitoring program directed by DEC staff in collaboration with the NYS Federation of Lake Associations (NYSFOLA).
CLEAN VOLUNTEERS tested the lake every two weeks from June to September. Results will be posted by the end of 2026.
