The New York State (NYS) Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), led by the Engineer Research and Development Center, has announced a collaborative project to study an innovative HAB removal technology called Harmful Algal Bloom Interception, Treatment and Transformation System (HABITATS) on Chautauqua Lake. The system is designed to collect algae-laden water near the surface, clarify and clean the water, then return the water back to the waterbody. A link to the public webinar on July 28, 2020 is below.
