What is a Nine Element Plan?

A Nine Element Watershed Management Plan is a type of clean water plan that identifies a community’s water quality concerns and a strategy to address these concerns. Nine Element Plans are developed by people who live and work within the watershed with support from local and state agencies.  The Town of Skaneateles, with support from the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board (CNY RPDB), will complete this plan, which will address nutrient loading and Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) control, as well as identify measures to address water quality issues throughout the entire watershed to sustain Skaneateles’ natural resources and the primary drinking water source for the City of Syracuse.

The first round of public meetings will introduce the Nine Element framework, the project schedule, and the draft Vision and Goals for the lake and watershed.  Public participation is vital to this process. Please plan on attending to learn more about this process and to provide your input.
