Welcome to the web site of the Sacandaga Protection Committee. Formed in 2009 in response to proposed changes to the 80 year old Sacandaga Lake permit system, the SPC's mission is to protect the environmental, economic and legal interests of the entire lake community. Although the permit system rule changes have been put on hold, the SPC continues to support the interests of the lake community. The SPC is active in several onging issues with potential impact to the lake community.
The SPC is a non-profit organization and we rely on donations from the lake community to fund this important effort. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments.
On December 2, 2011 attorneys for the Sacandaga Protection Committee (SPC) argued to preserve the Great Sacandaga Lake Permit System at oral argument before a three judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City.
The Great Sacandaga Lake Business Association sponsored a cocktail party to benefit the Sacandaga Protection Committee on Thursday October 20th at the Sport Island Pub. The event raised over $8,000 for the SPC. We thank the GSLBA for organizing the event and the Sport Island Pub for hosting the event and donating the food and drink. A powerpoint slideshow was played at the event with information about the SPC. A PDF version of the slideshow can be downloaded here.
