Assessments of natural reproduction, rates of survival, and patterns of migration by Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. in Great Lakes tributaries require quantification of emigrating smolts. Auger smolt traps were modified and tested during annual downstream migrations of juvenile chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho salmon O. kisutch, and steelhead O. mykiss in three eastern Lake Ontario tributaries. The traps were scaled to fit small‐ to medium‐sized streams (third or fourth order) that had fluctuating flows and high debris outputs. During periods of reduced discharge, up to 85% of the streamflow was sampled by one trap. The fraction of migrating smolts captured (efficiency) was determined with wild and hatchery‐released fish. Site choice played a major role in determination of trapping efficiencies, which ranged from 1.3 to 17% for wild salmonids. The highest efficiencies were found for wild chinook salmon smolts (11–17%) in a tributary of the Salmon River, New York. No salmonids appeared to be injured by the trapping mechanism on any of the streams sampled from 1988 to 1991. The traps also proved effective at capturing brown bullheads Ameiurus nebulosus and golden shiners Notemigonus crysoleucas that were migrating to Lake Ontario from ponds and beaver impoundments in the drainage.

Two water-production systems, one for the Village of Pulaski and the other for the Villages of Sandy Creek and Lacona in Oswego County, New York, withdraw water from the Tug Hill glacial-drift aquifer, a regional sand and gravel aquifer along the western flank of the Tug Hill Plateau, and provide the sole source of water for these villages. As a result of concerns about contamination of the aquifer, two studies were conducted during 2001 to 2004, one for each waterproduction system, to refine the understanding of groundwater flow surrounding these water-production systems. Also, these studies were conducted to determine the cause of the discrepancy between groundwater ages estimated from previously constructed numerical groundwater flow models for the Pulaski and Sandy Creek/Lacona well fields and the apparent groundwater ages determined using concentrations of tritium and chlorofluorocarbons.
