To our members and all who care for Seneca Lake

Regarding the Seneca Meadows (SMI) contribution to Seneca Lake Pure Waters Association

(“Pure Waters” or SLPWA)

We recognize that Seneca Meadows (SMI) waste management in Waterloo, like many other large corporations, may have mixed intentions contributing to an environmental advocacy organization. We also know that SMI has contributed to other prominent environmental groups in the local area.

Their unsolicited contribution to Pure Waters carries no expectation that we endorse the expansion of their term permit, which is determined by their municipality and the NYSDEC. We have earmarked the funds specifically for water testing, which is essential to supporting grants and programs aimed at reducing excess nutrient loading into Seneca lake. SLPWA’s work melds citizen science, volunteers, education and partnerships into research and programs that benefit Seneca Lake and its watershed areas. This contribution will directly support that work.
