News 12 - 'Explicit' sex education lesson at center of Croton-on-Hudson school board meeting--Jun 16, 2022, 10:20pmUpdated 6h ago--By: News 12 Staff---A health education class that some parents called "too explicit" took center stage Thursday night at a school board meeting in Croton-on-Hudson.  It all stems from a recent classroom exercise in which some students were asked to list words they've heard related to sexual activity.  School officials say the lessons are part of its health curriculum developed years ago after an off-campus sexual assault.  Plenty of parents and teachers turned out in force with their own opinions on the controversial class.  MORE AT 'Explicit' sex education lesson at center of Croton-on-Hudson school board meeting (news12.com)

AQUATIC ALGAECIDE APPLICATION AT NEW CROTON, MUSCOOT & CROTON FALLS RESERVOIRS

Aquatic Algaecide Application at New Croton, Muscoot, Cross River, and Croton Falls Reservoirs

To our anglers, boaters, and permit holders:

We hope you have enjoyed the first few months of the fishing season in New York.

We wanted to inform you about an upcoming project to apply algaecide to the New Croton, Muscoot, Cross River, and Croton Falls reservoirs. The application is a common practice used in water supply systems to treat algae.

Over the next few weeks, you may notice DEP boats going back and forth across some parts of the reservoirs to apply the treatment. The algaecide (copper sulfate pentahydrate) used is not harmful to humans once dissolved in water, and will not have any effects on water quality.

This year, we will also continue to remove hydrilla from the New Croton Reservoir by using fluridone, the safest and most effective option for removing this invasive weed. During the summer and early fall, anglers should expect to see additional boats on the reservoir as our contractors apply the treatment.

We continue to work with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to obtain all necessary permits for this important work, and these projects will not affect the fish consumption advice provided by the NYS Department of Health (DOH).

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to further protect our reservoirs. If you have any questions please email us at recreation@dep.nyc.gov.
