LocationSilver Lake is bounded to north by Silver Lake Boulevard and Fourth Street, and the west and south by residential and commercial properties. It is approximately {{convert|26|acre|ha}} large with a maximum water depth of about {{convert|30|ft|m}}.[1] EnvironmentalThe lake currently receives storm water flow from several City outfalls and one NPDES-permitted outfall. The NDPES-permitted outfall receives storm water from a portion of the GE Plant Area that has been transferred to PEDA. Silver Lake drains to the Housatonic River by an underground {{convert|48|in|cm|adj=on}} diameter, concrete, culvert pipe located near the intersection of Fenn Street and East Street.[2] Two significant oil spills have occurred in the lake, and garbage, sewage and PCBs have been dumped into it. The lake caught fire in 1923 due to the pollution.[3] CleanupThe long-polluted Silver Lake in Pittsfield has undergone a massive cleanup (July 2012 – December 2013) and has opened as a park to the public with water safe enough for activities like fishing and boating.[4] Recently re-mediated Silver Lake is a recreational asset to the city, according to local officials, fit for picnics, boating and fishing.[5] GE submits annual reports regarding the details of all of the inspection, monitoring and maintenance activities that occurred within the Silver Lake Area Removal Action Area over the course of a given year.
