New York State Department of Transportation New York State Department of Transportation DEFINITIONS: R-Posted Bridge: A bridge which based on design or condition, does not have the reserve capacity to accommodate most vehicles over legal weights, but can still safely carry legal weights. Vehicles operating pursuant to an overweight permit with structure use restrictions (known as "R" Permits) are not allowed to cross. These bridges are identified with signage stating "No Trucks with R Permits." Posted-Load Bridge: A bridge or elevated structure which has a specific weight limit in tons posted on a sign. All vehicles exceeding the specified weights are prohibited, including those with overweight permits. Other-Posted Bridges: A bridge or elevated structure that is closed, under construction, or for which commercial vehicle traffic may be otherwise restricted. STATE VS LOCAL BRIDGES: The data is displayed on this site is from the NYSDOT Bridge Data Management System. It is the most up to date and accurate information available for bridges owned by NYSDOT and its Transportation Federation Partners. Every effort is made to be as accurate and complete with information on bridges owned and maintained by local government entities, but it is not presented with same level of confidence. DISCLAIMER: While every effort is made to ensure that the information presented in this report is accurate and complete, actual posted signage on any given bridge is subject to change. Current posted signage supersedes this report and must be obeyed.

Fernald and Helena Andreyko Editors A Joint Program of The Hudson River Foundation and The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation December 2015 ABSTRACT Eight studies were conducted within the Hudson River Estuary under the auspices of the Tibor T. Polgar Fellowship Program during 2013. Major objectives of these studies included: (1) reconstruction of past climate events through analysis of sedimentary microfossils, (2) determining past and future ability of New York City salt marshes to accommodate sea level rise through vertical accretion, (3) analysis of the effects of nutrient pollution on greenhouse gas production in Hudson River marshes, (4) detection and identification of pathogens in aerosols and surface waters of Newtown Creek, (5) detection of amphetamine type stimulants at wastewater outflow sites in the Hudson River, (6) investigating establishment limitations of new populations of Oriental bittersweet in Schodack Island State Park, (7) assessing macroinvertebrate tolerance to hypoxia in the presence of water chestnut and submerged aquatic species, and (8) examining the distribution and feeding ecology of larval sea lamprey in the Hudson River basin. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ............................................................................................................... iii Preface ................................................................................................................. vii Fellowship Reports Pelagic Tropical to Subtropical Foraminifera in the Hudson River: What is their Source?

  • Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This Blue Goose, Designed by J.N
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This blue goose, designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fi sh, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefi t of the American people. The Service manages the 97-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 548 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas. It also operates 69 national fi sh hatcheries and 81 ecological services fi eld stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally signifi cant fi sheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance Program which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fi shing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. Comprehensive Conservation Plans provide long term guidance for management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies needed to accomplish refuge purposes and identify the Service’s best estimate of future needs. These plans detail program planning levels that are sometimes substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, are primarily for Service strategic planning and program prioritization purposes. The plans do not constitute a commitment for staffi ng increases, operational and maintenance increases, or funding for future land acquisition.

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.
