Browse or download the Onondaga Lake Amended Consent Judgment (ACJ).

The Onondaga Lake Amended Consent Judgment (ACJ) specifies projects to be undertaken to improve the water quality of Onondaga Lake. The ACJ was signed in January 1998, and stems from a 1989 Judgment on Consent settling litigation between the State of New York, the Atlantic States Legal Foundation (ASLF) and Onondaga County. The ACJ specifically includes a listing of more than thirty projects to be undertaken over a 15-year timeframe.

On September 9, 1999, the Onondaga Lake Management Conference (OLMC) approved and endorsed the ACJ and incorporated it into and made it part of its 1993 "A Plan of Action", the Onondaga Lake Management Plan. It was further resolved that any portion of the 1993 Plan that was not consistent with the ACJ was to be removed and deleted. An expanded summary of the ACJ is available on this web site.
