Stony Brook University School of Marine & Atmospheric SciencesFinal Report Dated January 2017

“Evaluation of Macroalgae and aquatic plant harvesting as a means for improving water quality in Georgica Pond. “

Executive summary

During the past several years, Georgica Pond, East Hampton, NY, USA, has experienced a series of significant water quality impairments and human health threats including toxic cyanobacterial blooms, anoxia, kills of aquatic and wildlife, and macroalgae blooms. In 2015, the precise nitrogen and phosphorus loading rates to Georgica Pond were quantified. At the sametime, the hypothesis was put forth that the purposeful removal of macroalgae and aquatic plants from Georgica Pond could help improve water quality conditions. In 2016, NYSDEC permits were obtained to deployed an Aquatic Weed Harvester in Georgica Pond to remove the accumulation of macroalgae and aquatic plants across the entire system as a means of combating the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorus to the Pond and thus combating the late summer occurrence of toxic blue-green algae blooms. Harvesting began in June and persisted through early September with peak removal occurring during the months of July and August A total of 55,740 lbs. of macroalgae and aquatic plants was harvested through the season. This harvest represented only a small fraction of the annual nitrogen and phosphorus load to Georgica Pond (1% and 2%, respectively). Importantly, however, all of this harvest was concentrated between June 23 and September 8 of 2016. Prorating the harvest to these summer months, when freshwater delivery of nitrogen and phosphorus is minimal, this harvest represented up to 13% of the July-August nitrogen load and 23% of the July-August phosphorus load. While the nitrogen reduction is still far below the 80% reduction needed to meet US EPA target values, the 20% reduction in phosphoruswas a significant portion of the 50% reduction required to meet US EPA target values for this element. Concurrent with the removal of the macroalgae and aquatic plants, environmental conditions in Georgica Pond during 2016 were significantly improved compared to prior years. Blue-green algae levels were an order of magnitude lower than the two prior years and these algae never bloomed to the exclusion of other algae. While Georgica Pond had the highest levels of blue-green algae inSuffolk County in August of 2014 and 2015, it had some of the lowest levels in 2016. In addition, unlike 2013 -2015 when anoxia and kills of wildlife occurred in Georgica Pond, in 2016 dissolved oxygen levels stayed above 4 mg/L throughout the summer and kills offish or other wildlife were not observed. While many inter-annual differences could have contributed to the improved environmental conditions in Georgica Pond in 2016, the significant reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus loading via the harvest of macroalgae and aquatic plants during the months when blue-green algae form blooms were likely to haveplayed a key role in these improved conditions.

Tony Piazza and Steve Mahoney of the Surfrider Foundation addressed the Board to propose plantings of the bioswales - a joint effort between the L.V.I.S. and the Surfriders Foundation. The proposed planting of native Irises, Hibiscus and grasses – besides being attractive -would help drainage and water quality, and be at no cost tothe taxpayers. Mayor Rickenbach asked that the planting area be marked with stakes for the Board to clearly see the proposed area.
