Mirror Lake Watershed Association PO Box 1300, Lake Placid, New York 12946 Greetings, It’s that time of year to update you on our past yearly activities; invite you to join us at our meeting and outreach activities, and ask for your membership renewal and support. We’ve had an extremely dynamic year: This past year of our activities has been focused on one major theme, "A Year of Education." As a result of this go-ahead theme, the Lake Placid-North Elba Water Management Committee has made many accomplishments: . Outreach and Educational Activities a Posters about Lake Education were borrowed from the Lake Champlain Basin Program, laminated, and placed strategically around Town to enlighten residents and visitors a Storm drain stenciling around Mirror Lake is also done bi-annually to increase Lake awareness a Newspaper Articles (such as "what is a watershed" and " first flush" ) a Brochures Don’t Feed the Gators and Save That Lake were placed by volunteers at various locations throughout the Town and Village. a Lakes Appreciation Week -Lake Placid Village Mayor Roby Politi took part in the festivities by way of a "Great American Secchi Dip In." The disk measures water clarity, and a reading of six meters was taken on that day which indicates excellent water quality. -Terrestrial shoreline and in-lake clean-ups were advertised and administered by many volunteers -A presentation was developed and presented during this week at the Peacock Beach House that involved general Lake/Watershed education and what individuals can do to get involved and make a difference Funding and Additional Protection for our Lake a Doggie Bag dispensers have been placed at six locations around Mirror Lake. A spring dog scat cleanup and survey was administered by three of our volunteers. a a Stormwater Ordinance was adopted and became part of our Land User Code. a LEAPE Class on storm-water design management workshop was attended.
As you can see we have a very busy year ahead of us especially if we would like to top last years activities. If you have an interest in the well-being of our precious Mirror Lake, please join our team. We meet the second Monday of every month at the Mirror Lake Peacock Beach House, at 5 PM , or you may contact Bill Billerman @ 523-8925 ,our chairman.
