CSYL's Willow Lake Water Quality Monitoring Underway - April 2009

CSYL, working with Brookhaven National Lab, Brookhaven Town Environmental Protection, and Boy Scout Troop 433 of Middle Island, has initiated a project to monitor water quality at multiple sites from Bartlett Rd. to Willow Lake spillway. We will be measuring TDS, Salinity, pH, Conductivity, Temperature, and Dissolved Oxygen, as well as Nitrate-Nitrogen values, with samples taken at five monitoring sites, from Bartlett Rd. to just below the Willow Lake spillway.

In addition, beginning June 25, 2009, CSYL will initiate testing at Lily Lake monitoring sites, To Be Determined. Stay tuned...
