Lake cleanup gains ground with $100000 grant approval
Onondaga County moves forward in the Onondaga Lake restoration effort. A $100000 federal Clean Lakes program grant was approved by the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board to study nutrient sources while the Metro Sewage Treatment Plant reduces bacterial flow. Officials caution full contact recreation may not occur for three to four years due to storms and lingering pollution. Mercury contamination remains a hurdle to safe bathing yet progress continues with infrastructure upgrades and environmental reviews.
