Erie County Water Reports

Lake Classification and Inventory (LCI) Reports

LCI Reports summarize water quality sampling results since 2009 from the DEC Division of Water lake monitoring program. Samples are collected during single late summer site visits or monthly lake sampling from June through September. Reports are written for only a subset of these lakes, generally those lakes and ponds for which access was secured or public use is significant.

Stream Biomonitoring Unit Rapid Assessment Survey (RAS) Reports

Rapid Biological Assessment Surveys (RAS) are conducted to assess water quality in streams and rivers, or reaches within these waterbodies.
