WHY: Chautauqua Lake is a 13,000-acre glacially formed lake in New York. The lake and its associated wetlands support numerous aquatic communities and the regional economy. Sedimentation, nuisance aquatic-vegetation growth, and harmful algal blooms impact the lake’s ecosystem. The project aims to restore the ecosystem structure, function and dynamic processes by revitalizing the lake’s natural resources.
Pittsburgh District’s 26,000 square miles include portions of western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, eastern Ohio, western Maryland, and southwestern New York. It includes more than 328 miles of navigable waterways, 22 navigation locks and dams, 16 multi-purpose flood-control reservoirs, 42 local flood-protection projects, and other projects to protect and enhance the nation’s water resources infrastructure and environment.
