The Central New York Regional Planning & Development Board (CNY RPDB) is preparing the Oneida Lake Watershed Nine Element Plan. This plan will build on past watershed planning efforts, including the 2004 Management Strategy for Oneida Lake and its Watershed and the 2003 State of the Lake and Watershed Report.

As was true of the 2004 Management Strategy, this Nine Element (9E) plan will be developed in partnership with the people who live, work, visit, and enjoy Oneida Lake and the creeks and streams around it, with guidance from state and local agencies. Funding for this initiative is being provided by the NYS Department of State, under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund, through a grant to Madison County and the CNY RPDB.

A 9E Plan is a plan that describes a community’s water quality concerns and provides a strategy to address those concerns. 9E Plans are developed in partnership with people who live, work, visit, and enjoy the watershed and its water resources, with guidance from state and local agencies.

For more information on the 9E and Oneida Lake, see the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board's website: https://www.cnyrpdb.org/oneida9e/

This project is sponsored with funding provided by the New York State Department of State under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.
