Boat Removal
This is a notice to remove your boats from the Crandon boat racks by October 15.
All boats must be removed from all lake property by next Tuesday, Oct 15. Failure to do so will result in the lake having to remove them and you will forfeit your $25 deposit. If you illegally put your boat there, you will be charged $25 for it's removal. The charge is $25/boat.
Floating Treatment Wetlands Installation
Come join the SCMUA-Wallkill River Watershed Management Group as we install new floating treatment wetlands in Crandon Lakes. Volunteers are needed to install native flowers on the islands.
Come out to the Crandon Lakes Country Club to learn how floating treatment wetlands can be used to improve the water quality of Crandon Lakes and the surrounding Paulins Kill Watershed. Volunteers are needed to help install native plants inside each floating treatment wetland. We will kick off the event near the pavilion and beach area. Wear sneakers and clothes that can get dirty. If you have a pair of chest waders or a kayak that we can use to put the floating islands in place within the lake, please bring them.
When: Friday, October 25 from 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
Where: East Beach and Pavilion Area
Why: Floating treatment wetlands will help reduce algae growth in Crandon Lakes.
This is important because excessive algae can lead to harmful algal blooms that negatively impact recreational usage of the lake.
If you have questions, please contact Kristine Rogers at krogers@scmua.org.

HELP NEEDED: Rain Garden Project
MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5 • 9am - 1pm
CRANDON LAKE OFFICE PARKING LOT AREA
The Lake Resources committee and the Board of Directors is asking for community volunteer participation as part of our long awaited "Rain Garden" project. This project has been in the works for quite a few years and we've been able to arrange for the installation to occur in the next few weeks. The rain garden will help mitigate the tremendous amount of stormwater that collects in our CLCC office parking lot. This runoff then gets piped directly into our lake carrying whatever sediment and pollutants are on the blacktop surface. The rain gardens will divert a significant part of that stormwater into settling areas where it can naturally be absorbed into the surrounding groundcover.
The groundbreaking has tentatively been scheduled for the last week of September/beginning of October. Volunteers would be needed only for the target "planting" date of Saturday, October 5th at this point. The start time would be 9am and hopefully be done well before 1pm. It would mirror our very successful tree and shrub planting project coordinated with SCMUA last year. Due to significant volunteer turnout that project was completed much faster than we had anticipated. We're hoping for a repeat.
We hope you can find some time in your busy schedule to come out and assist with mulching and/or planting some of the 300+ donated plants/shrubs. This project is being fully funded by SCMUA and there is zero cost to the CLCC residents other than their time donated. We estimate that this project would have cost (with contractor, Rutgers engineering/architect and materials costs) in the area of $60k if we funded it ourselves.
So please come out and participate as it's a great way to work off some of the calories that can be acquired at the event following the planting on the same day which is our Annual Oktoberfest run by the Heinsohn family! So plant a shrub, eat a bratwurst and meet your neighbors.
Please email/call the office to leave a voice message for those who will be attending the rain garden planting. Just so that we know if we have enough volunteers. Thank you all.
