  • 2015-16 Executive Budget Agency Presentations
    NEW YORK STATE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES http://www.abo.ny.gov/ Public authorities are created by, sponsored by, or affiliated with State and local government, to finance, build, manage or improve specific capital facilities and projects that serve public or governmental purposes. Formed as independent and autonomous public benefit or not-for-profit corporations, public authorities are governed by boards of directors. With their management and operating flexibility, public authorities are an effective means to address public needs, which may not otherwise be met within the limitations imposed on traditional government agencies. Public authorities derive their powers and responsibilities from the legislation by which they are established, or through their certificates of incorporation. The Public Authorities Accountability Act of 2005, followed by the Public Authorities Reform Act of 2009 opened the operations and financial dealings of public authorities to enhanced public scrutiny. State and local public authorities must now adhere to accepted corporate governance standards, disclose their budgets, indebtedness, independent audit reports, financial statements and activities, and follow prescribed procedures for the custody, control and disposition of real property. By law, the Authorities Budget Office examines and reports on the operations, practices and finances of public authorities; enforces compliance with State law and initiates actions against public authorities and their boards of directors for noncompliance; and provides guidance to public authorities on ways to adhere to the principles of accountability, transparency and effective corporate governance. The Authorities Budget Office is also authorized to make recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature concerning the performance, structure, formation and oversight of public authorities, public authority debt, procurement, and property transaction practices, and to ensure that directors receive training on the fiduciary, legal and ethical obligations of board members.

The region covers an area of 3,120 square miles and has an estimated population of 780,000. By most measures, the region forms an area of interdependent economic activity. There is a central concentration of activity in Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. In addition to this major urban center, there are intermediate areas of activity in cities located in each of the other four counties. These cities include Auburn (Cayuga County), Cortland (Cortland County), Oneida (Madison County), and Fulton and Oswego (Oswego County). The five-county region comprises a balance of an urban center, suburban areas, small cities, rural towns and villages, and farming communities. The region is located in the center of New York State and is in close proximity to Rochester, Buffalo, Albany, and Binghamton; and just a few hours drive from NYC, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, and other major cities in the Northeast. Central New York has an extensive transportation network, which includes Syracuse Hancock International Airport, the deep water Port of Oswego, a CSX intermodal rail center along with freight and passenger service, Interstate Routes 81 and 90 that bisect the region in a north/south and east/west direction. Central New York is also served by an extensive network of public sewer and water facilities.

  • Barge Canal” Is No Longer an Accurate Description of the New York State Canals Marine Activity on New York’S Canals
    The Story of the Afterword Today, the name “Barge Canal” is no longer an accurate description of the New York State Canals marine activity on New York’s canals. Trains and trucks have taken over the transport of most cargo that once moved on barges along the canals, but the canals remain a viable waterway for navigation. Now, pleasure boats, tour Historical and Commercial Information boats, cruise ships, canoes and kayaks comprise the majority of vessels that ply the waters of the legendary Erie and the Champlain, Oswego and Cayuga- Seneca canals, which now constitute the 524-mile New York State Canal ROY G. FINCH System. State Engineer and Surveyor While the barges now are few, this network of inland waterways is a popular tourism destination each year for thousands of pleasure boaters as well as visitors by land, who follow the historic trade route that made New York the “Empire State.” Across the canal corridor, dozens of historic sites, museums and community festivals in charming port towns and bustling cities invite visitors to step back in time and re-live the early canal days when “hoggees” guided mule-drawn packet boats along the narrow towpaths. Today, many of the towpaths have been transformed into Canalway Trail segments, extending over 220 miles for the enjoyment of outdoor enthusiasts from near and far who walk, bike and hike through scenic and historic canal areas. In 1992, legislation was enacted in New York State which changed the name of the Barge Canal to the “New York State Canal System” and transferred responsibility for operation and maintenance of the Canal System from the New York State Department of Transportation to the New York State Canal Corporation, a newly created subsidiary of the New York State Thruway Authority.

  • Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan
    Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan July 2021 | sanctuaries.noaa.gov/lake-ontario/ U.S. Department of Commerce Gina Raimondo, Secretary National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Richard W. Spinrad, Ph.D. Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator National Ocean Service Nicole LeBoeuf, Assistant Administrator (Acting) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries John Armor, Director Cover photo: Tibbets Point Lighthouse sits where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River. Photo: Matt McIntosh/NOAA Abstract The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing to designate a national marine sanctuary to manage a nationally significant collection of shipwrecks and other underwater cultural resources in eastern Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands region in upstate New York. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 USC 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 USC 1434), NOAA has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) that considers three alternatives for the proposed national marine sanctuary. In this DEIS, NOAA uses criteria and evaluation standards under the regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508 (1978)) and the NOAA implementing procedures for NEPA (NOAA Administrative Order 216-6A) to evaluate the environmental consequences of each alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, NOAA would not designate a national marine sanctuary in New York. Under Alternative 1, the proposed sanctuary boundary would include 1,786 square miles in eastern Lake Ontario and the Thousands Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. Alternative 1 would incorporate 67 known shipwrecks and one aircraft.

  • National Significance and Historical Context
    2.1 2 National Signifi cance and Historical Context NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERVIEW Th e Erie Canal is the most successful and infl uential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America. It facilitated and shaped the course of settlement of the North- east, Midwest, and Great Plains, knit together the Atlantic Seaboard with the area west of the Appalachian Mountains, solidifi ed New York City’s place as the young nation’s principal seaport and commercial center, and became a central element forging the national identity. New York’s canal system, including the Erie Canal and its laterals – principally the Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca Canals – opened the interior of the continent. Built through the only low-level gap between the Appalachian Mountain chain and the Adirondack Mountains, the Erie Canal provided one of the principal routes for migration and an economical and reliable means for transporting agricultural products and manufactured goods between the American interior, the eastern seaboard, and Europe. Th e Erie Canal was a heroic feat of early 19th century engineering and construc- tion, and at 363 miles long, more than twice the length of any canal in Europe. Photo: It was without precedent in North America, designed and built through sparsely Postcard image of canal basin in Clinton Square, Syracuse, ca. 1905 settled territory by surveyors, engineers, contractors, and laborers who had to learn much of their craft on the job. Engineers and builders who got their start on New York’s canals went on to construct other canals, railroads, and public water supplies throughout the new nation.
