Monitoring conditions on Assembly Point
Residents participating in the Assembly Point Water Quality Coalition have been documenting the conditions of the roads in photographs. We have been attending Town of Queensbury and Lake George Park Commission meetings in an effort to spur remediation. We have published, along with the Town of Queensbury, an information brochure (see below) on alternatives to paving and sealcoating driveways.
In the slide show below, you can see Assembly Point Road in any season, over the course of a number of years, and how its impervious surface is constructed. On the west side of the road, homeowners have driveways, many of which have been seal coated with no area or space for infiltration. Run off from storms gathers momentum along the impervious roadways and driveways and flows over Assembly Point Road directly into Harris Bay, carrying nutrients that spur growth of algae, bacteria and invasives.
