Public Forum: AquaDiary and Rick Smith: What's in Lake Foam? - Wednesday, October 7th at 7pm via Zoom - Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/L4bePyWCRWuhEhiEanbnEQ

Join OWLA for a viewing of AquaDiary: What's in Lake Foam? and post-viewing discussion with host and OWLA Board Member, Ally Berry. In this episode we sit down with Rick Smith of Global Aquatic Research to unpack what's actually happening across the Finger Lakes right now: the PFAS-in-foam research out of Canandaigua Lake and what it means as the project expands, why harmful algal blooms are starting earlier and lasting longer, and what we know about lake foam in the Finger Lakes.

Some concerns were raised at the Onondaga County Legislature over proposed changes to sewer charges for commercial and industrial properties.

Under the proposal, the amount of water that makes up one sewer billing unit would drop from 85,000 gallons to 70,000 gallons, while the rate would also increase by about 2.9%.

CNY Central reports that the combined changes could increase sewer costs for some commercial and industrial users by as much as 25%.

People speaking at the meeting questioned the potential impact on businesses, schools, hospitals and other large water users, along with the lack of a detailed analysis of the longer-term costs.

The county has said Micron will pay for its industrial wastewater treatment plant, but questions remain about the costs of the broader system and whether other customers could eventually be affected.

The changes have not been approved yet, with a vote expected at a later date.

A free Micron-related event coming up this Thursday at the MOST.

The Micron Technology Fellows will be hosting a Family STEM Night for high school students and their families on Thursday, October 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The night will include hands-on activities involving circuits, coding, microchip design and cleanroom manufacturing, giving students a chance to get a better look at some of the technology and careers connected to semiconductor manufacturing.

The event is free, but registration is requested through the MOST.

Could be a good opportunity for local students who are curious about what actually goes into making computer chips or what some of these future STEM careers might look like.

I have seen multiple people ask about where exactly the Micron Rail Yard is, as it is hard to determine from the drone pictures and the site. Hopefully these pictures help explain it a bit better. Freight Yard Brewing

Another look at some of the infrastructure being built to support the Micron site.

CNY Central spoke with National Grid about the power and natural gas work now being planned around White Pine. The existing substation across from the site will be expanded by about seven acres, with new underground ductwork carrying power beneath Caughdenoy Road and into the Micron campus.

National Grid says the full buildout calls for eight 345 kV transmission lines, two for each of the four fabs, along with a roughly two-mile natural gas line to the site. Much of the new infrastructure will be underground.

National Grid did not disclose the cost, but said the investment is being made on behalf of Micron.

It’s another part of the project that isn’t nearly as visible as the construction happening inside the site, but will be needed as the fabs are built and eventually come online.
