2018 Snorkel Swim and test project to complete a Lake Champlain Basin Program grant,
​ determining  pollution index of shoreline aglaes. 

2018-2019 Site Plan Review Committee with Councilwoman Atherden to strengthen Town of Queensbury Site Plan Review Regulations.


2019-2020 Work with the Lake George Park Commission to update regulations 

2021  With input from other water quality groups, sent a letter to Gov. Cuomo requesting that the Lake George Park Commission (LGPC) undertake a  Septic Inspection Management Program for all lakefront municipalities.  Sent a resolution to these 9 municipalities, asking that they support this lakewide mandate.  These actions resulted in the LGPC forming an Ad hoc committee to address the need for a Septic Inspection Program.

SHOWCASE PROJECTS  2014-2015


Above is an example of a Lake George business parking lot which has retrofitted with a  pervious strip insert to manage its run off. 


APWQCoalition is working with several Assembly Point Road residents, with Blulakegeorge consultants and with an environmentally conscious contractor to create a showcase project (see our blog on the need for lakewide showcasing projects) to retrofit 3-4 driveways.The goal will be to manage run off coming from properties down impervious drives so that nutrient loaded run off is taken up at the juncture of drive and road and infiltrated on the property. This will keep water from flowing across the road and into the lake.


Bob Tully of 167 Assembly Point Road is showcasing his own property with several retrofits to manage his own run off. He is installing in mid August 2014 an experimental section of pervious pavers in his upper drive to evaluate percolation rates and efficacy for water take up.  He is also trying to bring the cost in at an affordable rate hoping for affordability to all.


The larger showcase project as of August 2014 is in its planning stages; the hope is for the Coalition to obtain some funds to support property owners who are willing to insert pervious strips, flex pave and or swales and diverters. We will be writing grants and using any contributions toward this showcase project.
