For more than eight years, we’ve researched, studied, mapped, negotiated and, most importantly, progressed a project that aims to redefine our County’s wastewater system. Why? The Oneida County Sewer District (OCSD) Sanitary Sewer Overflow Mitigation Project is vital to restoring and maintaining our aging conveyance system. This critical infrastructure is key to future economic development within our region. Without enhancement, progress within the OCSD simply cannot advance. Guided by the input and collaboration of our project steering committee, a group consisting of representatives from each District municipality, we’re proud to share with you the significant accomplishments outlined in the following pages. Our achievements include advancing critical rehabilitation and repair projects, establishing standard processes to ensure the continued and consistent maintenance of our District’s system, the start of data collection with the final installation of flow meters, and expanding public and resident awareness and support. While our work is far from over, let’s take a step back and appreciate what can be accomplished when we work together. Anthony J.

Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements.

  • Upper Mohawk River Coliform Bacteria Monitoring Project Report
    New York State DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION Division of Water Upper Mohawk River Coliform Bacteria Monitoring Project Portions 12 and 13 in the Utica-Rome Area June 2012 - September 2012 November 2013 (Revised January 2014) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of coliform bacteria monitoring conducted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) from June through September 2012 in portions 12 and 13 of the Mohawk River (see Figure 2). Water sampling was conducted at two stations: Mohawk River in West Schuyler (Portion 12) and Mohawk River near Oriskany (Portion 13). Twenty-two samples per station were collected and analyzed for total and fecal coliform bacteria. Field parameters of dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, pH and temperature were also measured at each station during sampling. Portions 12 and 13 of the Mohawk River are listed in the Final 2012 Section 303(d) List, Part 1 - Individual Waterbody Segments with Impairment Requiring Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Development. Pollutants and water quality indicators listed in the Section 303(d) list include floatables (aesthetics), pathogens and dissolved oxygen/oxygen demand. Pollution sources contributing to impairment include Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs), and urban stormwater runoff. The goal of the project was to collect and test samples for coliform frequently enough to satisfy the requirements of New York State Water Quality Standards (at least five samples per month). NYSDEC uses coliform bacteria as an indicator of pathogens. The water quality standard for coliform is based on a minimum of five examinations within a calendar month for Class B and C waterbodies.

Chapman, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY W. E. Wrather, Director Washington, 'J. C. Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 26, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PART 1.-NORTH ATLANTIC SLOPE BASINS TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1950 EXPLANATION The index lists the stream-flow and reservoir stations in the North Atlantic Slope Basins for which records have been or are to be published for periods prior to Sept. 30, 1950. The stations are listed in downstream order. Tributary streams are indicated by indention. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Parentheses around part of a station name indicate that the inclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey. The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures pu~lished or otherwise available at this time. Drainage areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Under "period of record" breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was in operation on September 30, 1950. The years given are calendar years. Periods·of records published by agencies other than the Geological Survey are listed in parentheses only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey.
