14) Paine Lake Nitrogen Removal, New Rochelle

Paine Lake

The quality of water leaving this pond is cleaner than the water entering it thanks to newly installed aquatic plants along the pond edge and in the pond itself.  Freshwater ponds are ecologically valuable because they absorb flood waters, control erosion and sedimentation, improve water quality, recharge groundwater supplies, maintain surface water flows, uptake excessive nutrients, and provide fish and wildlife habitat.  Native vegetation is a key reason for these benefits.

To View The Site: The site is between Paine Avenue and Valley Road (off of North Avenue) in the City of New Rochelle.
