improvements and installation of sediment retention basin on lower Foster Brook.
-Sediment basin site selected, final design and construction awaiting funding
-Town highway department is doing roadside drainage work
Hague Brook (Hague)
Phase 1 design and construction was completed in 1996
Phase 2 investigation and conceptual design completed 1998-1999
Station 94 repairs completed in May 1999
Sedimentation basin site selection done in 2000; design, permitting and
construction is scheduled for 2001.
Numerous additional projects need funding for
implementation
Indian Brook (Bolton Landing)
Conceptual design completed in January 2000 includes proposed runoff improvements at
two county road crossings, and cleaning and enlargement of two existing, small stilling
basins to trap sediment. Final design and construction awaiting funding.
Prospect Mountain Brook (Lake George
Village)
Study completed in Fall 1998 to identify problems,
sources and potential solutions for this watershed that includes part of Lake George
Village. Proposed improvements include a
small detention basin west of I-87, and features to collect and treat runoff from Village
streets before discharge to the Lake through the culvert near Sheriff’s Dock. Also
see Sheriff's Dock
Delta Reduction below.
Stewart Brook/Myers Pond (Bolton
Landing)
LGA multi-phase stream corridor study underway in Fall 2000; conceptual design
was completed in Spring 2001. Funding is needed for implementation.
Sunset Bay Brook (aka Fairy
Brook,
Hulett’s Landing)
Study completed in Fall 2000 to identify a series of local improvements along
the County Road that runs along the brook. Conceptual design complete; awaiting implementation of roadside work by county
highway department. Negotiations are underway to identify best location for proposed small
sediment basin.
West Brook (Lake George Village)
Phase II to develop plan to intercept and infiltrate stormwater from Canada
Street on the north side of West Brook. Final design complete and funding is in place;
construction on hold pending resolution of issues related to Fort George Wetland project.

Cleverdale Road (Queensbury)}
After becoming stalled over the use of New York State Land for stormwater management,
work resumed in Fall 2000 on a conceptual plan to correct problems at parts of Cleverdale
that are suffering from uncontrolled stormwater runoff from paved roadways.
Pilot Knob Road (Fort Ann)
Work was completed in 1995 on stormwater management strategies at 16 locations on the
Pilot Knob Road. Work included the construction of check dams, earthen structures,
catchments, grading steep slopes, mulching and seeding.
Pioneer Village (Bolton)
Conceptual design completed in fall 1999 for stormwater management improvements at
road and beach; beach work done in May 2001; road construction pending.
Shelving Rock Road (Fort Ann)
A project is proposed that will address stream and road bank erosion on Shelving Rock
Road-the site of considerable storm damage in January 1996.
Trout Lake Road (Bolton)
Work was completed in fall 1996 on a series of infiltrators, drywells and sediment
catch basins along Trout Lake Road to remove much of the stormwater runoff from the road
channel and infiltrate it into the ground.
Valley Woods Road (Bolton)
Completed in the summer of 1998, this project provided materials for the installation
of several catch basin/drywell to catch and infiltrate storm runoff before it drains to
Finkle Brook.
Westover Association (Lake George)
Conceptual design completed in Fall 1999 for stormwater management improvements to
road and repair of failing stream bank near beach; construction pending.

Gage Brook Reservoir
Maintenance dredging of this small impoundment on West Brook off Prospect
Mountain Highway in the Town of Lake George was completed in June 1996. The reservoir now
functions as a sediment retention basin for the West Brook watershed.
Maintenance dredging was completed again in the summer of 2001.
Hubbell Brook Reservoir
This man-made, former water supply reservoir is now serving as a sediment retention
basin on Hubbell Brook, (a major tributary to English Brook), the location of the largest
Lake George sediment delta. The basin was cleaned out in 1993 and
maintenance dredging to restore the sediment retention capacity began in
September 2001. (see photo below)
Middle Road Reservoir
The maintenance dredging of a small pond on Stebbins Brook where it crosses Middle
Road was completed in October 1996. This small pond serves as a retention basin to catch
sediments now being transported down the
Brook and into Lake George. The next maintenance dredging is scheduled for 2001.
Ore Bed Reservoir
In July 1996, maintenance dredging was done on this reservoir that once served as part
of the water supply for the Village of Lake George. The basin is now used as a means to
prevent excessive amounts of sediment from entering Lake George and contributing to the
expansion of the West Brook delta.

Lake Avenue Beach (Lake George Village)
In 1996, four catch basins were installed on both sides of Lake Avenue Beach Road to
help trap sediments from stormwater runoff from approximately ½ mile of paved roadway and
adjoining properties. LGA and the Village of Lake George are planning the next phase of
this project to include vegetative stormwater buffers and a cartop boat launch for the
waterfront.
Gull Bay Beach (Putnam)
Phase 1 of this project, completed during Winter 1996, is designed to infiltrate and
intercept ground and surface water to prevent further beach washout and erosion into Lake
George. Phase 2, scheduled for 2001 will address runoff from roadway and parking lot east
of beach/launch area. Click

Huddle Bay Beach (Bolton)
The purpose of this project was to capture and infiltrate most of the stormwater
running off Huddle Beach Road before it reached the beach and caused erosion into Lake
George. Construction of the stone-lined roadside ditch was completed in Spring 1999. In
Spring 2000, the runoff collection trench and drywell were installed where the road meets
the beach, and the road was paved.

Rogers Memorial Park (Bolton)
The purpose of this project, completed in 1996, is to improve stormwater management
and water quality at the beach and to prevent beach erosion into Lake George. A new drop
inlet was installed in the beach parking lot that collects runoff and directs it to a new
drywell and a series of infiltrators under the beach. The drywell and infiltrators trap
sediment and allow water to infiltrate into the sandy soil before reaching Lake George.
