Lake George Association Appeals Ruling on ProcellaCOR Use in Lake George

2024-05-18 10:55:41.102000

The Lake George Association (LGA) plans to appeal a recent ruling that halted their efforts to stop the Lake George Park Commission (LGPC) from using the chemical ProcellaCOR to manage milfoil in the lake. The LGA has also ramped up its social media campaigns to oppose the Park Commission's 2024 application to use the chemical in two bays on Lake George. LGPC chairman Ken Parker criticized the LGA for spreading false and alarmist information about ProcellaCOR. The LGA believes that ProcellaCOR contains PFAs, forever chemicals like PFAS, but the Park Commission disagrees. The Park Commission argues that ProcellaCOR is not a 'Forever Chemical' and does not have the characteristics of long environmental persistence and toxicity risks common to long-chain PFAS. The Park Commission expects the Adirondack Park Agency to approve their permits to treat Blairs Bay and Sheep Meadow Bay with ProcellaCOR at their June meeting. [d5a925ee]
