WASHINGTON – A provision within the proposed America\u2019s Water Infrastructure Act<\/strong> of 2018 includes a provision impacting Chautauqua Lake.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to Senators Chuck Schumer<\/strong> and Kirsten Gillibrand<\/strong>, who say they are seeking funding to authorize a Chautauqua Lake Feasibility Study.<\/p>\n

“Chautauqua Lake currently suffers from continued environmental and economic damage caused by repeated algal blooms, and this study authorization would allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers<\/strong> to evaluate the excessive phosphorous runoff that causes these algal blooms,” stated a media release from Sen. Gillibrand’s office. “Additionally, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would be able to study flood risk management measures, assess ecosystem restoration efforts, and address the accelerated erosion along the lake\u2019s tributary streambanks. Erosion along Chautauqua Lake\u2019s tributary streambanks have resulted in excessive sediment deposition, which also impairs the lake\u2019s water quality.<\/p>\n

Senator Gillibrand voted with her committee colleagues to unanimously advance S. 2800 out of the Senate EPW Committee earlier this week.\u00a0The bill now heads to the Senate floor for consideration.<\/p>\n

The bipartisan America\u2019s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018<\/em> authorizes studies and projects carried out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the primary purposes of navigation, flood protection, and aquatic ecosystem restoration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
