National Lakes Survey
The EPA is working with states, tribes and others to survey the quality of the nation's lakes, ponds and reservoirs. Cuba Lake has been selected as one of 12 lakes in New York State to be a part of that survey. Field Testing is scheduled for 2007 and will be conducted in NYS by the DEC.
