<title>Green groups win Lows Lake legal fight, Park precedent unclear</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19970/20120613/green-groups-win-lows-lake-legal-fight-park-precedent-unclear</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 13, 2012) New York state officials have decided to drop their appeal of a lawsuit filed by environmental groups over the management of Lows Lake, a popular paddling destination in the Adirondack Park. The Adirondack Mountain Club and Protect the Adirondacks have fought for years to have the lake itself, including the water and lake bed, classified as wilderness.  Earlier this month, the Adirondack Park Agency and the Department of Environmental Conservation decided to accept that designation. As Brian Mann reports, it’s unclear how this legal victory for environmentalists will affect other lakes and rivers in the Adirondacks.

<title>APA imposes new boathouse rules</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15814/20100614/apa-imposes-new-boathouse-rules</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 14, 2010) The Adirondack Park Agency has imposed new restrictions on the size and height of new boathouses in the Park. The APA board voted last week to revise the definition of boathouse in its regulations to include a 1,200-square-foot size limit and a 15-foot height limit. The new limits will take effect after Labor Day. As Chris Knight reports, the decision came after months of debate among agency commissioners.

<title>Is &quot;rock snot&quot; the next invasive species threat in the Adks?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15793/20100609/is-quot-rock-snot-quot-the-next-invasive-species-threat-in-the-adks</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 9, 2010) Researchers say the invasive algae didymo, widely called &quot;rock snot,&quot; is spreading throughout Vermont and the Lake Champlain basin.  Found last week east of Burlington, the algae could make its way into Adirondack waterways, and once it establishes a presence, it&apos;s just about impossible to control or eradicate. Scientists say the algae forms large mats along the bottom of waterways and chokes out native plants.  Martha Foley has more.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 30, 2009) New laws restrict pesticides and fertilizers in some cities. In recent years, farms have cut the use of chemicals. But, Rebecca Williams reports, some environmentalists say there are still far too many chemicals polluting streams and lakes.

<title>National climate change debate builds on Adirondack fight against acid rain</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/11504/20080602/national-climate-change-debate-builds-on-adirondack-fight-against-acid-rain</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 2, 2008) This week, the US Senate will debate a landmark bill that aims to sharply cut the nation&apos;s greenhouse gas pollution.  The climate change measure is modeled closely after a policy that was first used to curb acid rain in the Adirondacks.  The so-called &quot;cap and trade&quot; system would set new limits on carbon pollution.  But it would also leave industry to decide how to reach the goals.  As Brian Mann reports, the measure puts the Adirondacks back at the center of the national environmental debate.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 21, 2005) The U.S. Supreme Court will hear two cases involving the government&apos;s authority to regulate wetlands.  The cases question whether federal regulators have jurisdiction over wetlands that don&apos;t directly connect to rivers or other waterways.  The Great Lakes Radio Consortium&apos;s Erin Toner reports.
