INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide direction for the community.It outlines the community's vision, as well as providing the basis for subsequent actions taken to achieve that vision. The Plan is based on a number of background studies. These studies were performed to give a complete inventory of population and housing trends, existing land use, physical features, and community facilities. The Plan presents separate elements: Natural Environment, Population, Housing, Economic Profile, Municipal Facilities, Transportation, and Land Use, Each element includes background information and the planning implications of that information, and concludes with recommendations, where appropriate. In one's day-to-day activities, one may find that certain courses of action were taken based upon specific objectives, which in turn, evolved from past goals. In the same sense, a community can establish goals and objectives on which to base its day-to-day activities. The overall planning goals for the Town of Wayne Comprehensive Plan are as follows: 1) To protect the scenic values and natural beauty of the Town. 2) To encourage efficient and effective use of tax dollars through orderly planned' development. 3) To provide for the general health, safety and welfare of the populous. 4) To encourage the most appropriate use ofland in the community in order to conserve and enhance the value of property. 5) To encourage the preservation of historically agricultural lands in the Town. 6) To preserve open spaces and special terrain features. 7) To discourage development in areas physically unsuited and inappropriate for development. 2 II. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT The natural environment includes topography, natural drainage, natural aesthetics and soils. Adaptation to the natural conditions and the use ofland in accordance with its natural capability is vital to achieve com- patibility between development and environment. A. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION The Town of Wayne is located in the northeastern portion of Steuben County, New York. It is sit- uated in the northeastern section of the Allegany Plateau. It is bordered by the Towns of Pulteney and Urbana to the west, the Town of Bradford to the south, the Town of Tyrone in Schuyler County to the east, and the Towns of Barrington and Jerusalem in Yates County to the north. It is also bounded on the north and west by Keuka Lake and on the east by Waneta Lake. It lies midway between Bath and Penn Yan on State Route 54. See maps II-I and II-2. B. TOPOGRAPHY The character of the local topography is one of the primary factors determining a community's development. Degree of slope is a major criterion for construction activity. Map II-3 shows the topography of the Town. The closer together the contour lines, the steeper the slope. Slope can be grouped into general categories, based on suitability for building: 1) Nearly Level to Gently Sloping - 0-8% - This slope is suitable to nearly all types of residential, commercial and industrial uses. It is also very suitable for agricultural purposes. About 6,163 acres, or 54.2%, of the Town are in this category. 2) Moderately Sloping - Greater than 8-15% - Low-density residential development and agriculture can utilize much of this type ofterrain. These slopes are too steep for most industrial, commercial, and high-density uses. Nearly 4,180 acres, or 36.7%, of the Town are in this category. 3) Excessive Slopes - Greater than 15% - Slopes of this 'degree will deter most development. Develop- ment on slopes of this degree will be costly and can best be utilized for pasture land, natural reserves or recreation areas. Uses such as this would leave the soils undisturbed, thus avoiding the problem of erosion. About 1,039 acres, or 9.1%, of the Town are in this category. By examining slopes in relation to past development trends, it can be seen that, except for the lakeshore areas, people have chosen the most favorable slopes for the higher density areas of the Town. C. NATURAL DRAINAGE A community's natural drainage system is a factor which must always be given consideration when the physical character of a community is being studied. Drainage controls the manner in which surface and sub-surface water is gradually drawn from a given tract of land or region. The natural drainage of an area will also determine the manner in which both storm and sanitary sewage systems should be designed. Flood Plains, streams and creeks must be protected in order to maintain and, if possible, increase their capacity to Steuben County " I.-~'" 1'1 'I .: "11 C' ANAD -){ .~ \', _,43r-' '. ;'!l,~; 138'QUEBEC -~-!.'.'.

    NEW YORK Freshwater FISHING2015–16 OFFICIAL REGULATIONS GUIDE VOLUME 7, ISSUE NO. 1, APRIL 2015 Fishing for Muskie www.dec.ny.gov Most regulations are in effect April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR New York: A State of Angling Opportunity When it comes to freshwater fishing, no state in the nation can compare to New York. Our Great Lakes consistently deliver outstanding fishing for salmon and steelhead and it doesn’t stop there. In fact, New York is home to four of the Bassmaster’s top 50 bass lakes, drawing anglers from around the globe to come and experience great smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. The crystal clear lakes and streams of the Adirondack and Catskill parks make New York home to the very best fly fishing east of the Rockies. Add abundant walleye, panfish, trout and trophy muskellunge and northern pike to the mix, and New York is clearly a state of angling opportunity. Fishing is a wonderful way to reconnect with the outdoors. Here in New York, we are working hard to make the sport more accessible and affordable to all. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $6 million, renovating existing boat launches and developing new ones across the state. This is in addition to the 50 new projects begun in 2014 that will make it easier for all outdoors enthusiasts to access the woods and waters of New York. Our 12 DEC fish hatcheries produce 900,000 pounds of fish each year to increase fish populations and expand and improve angling opportunities.

  • LWLA Spring 2016 Newsletter
    Spring Newsletter – April 2016 A Message from the President – Terry Allison Like most of you, I was totally amazed by the mild winter weather we had this year. I can only wonder what the weather will be like as we begin the 2016 lake season! The new lake season brings for you and your LWLA continued vigilance overseeing the good health of our beautiful lakes. It is a united effort. That’s why it’s so important that you support us with your membership. If you haven’t paid your 2016 dues, please do. We cannot accomplish anything without you and your financial support. We continue to face several issues that are never ending. The fight to keep Eurasian Milfoil under control has become common place on our “to-do” list. Along with that, we now face a financial deficit because of the rising cost of chemical treatment. Thanks to the Lakes District Commission, we’ve done well for many years. But now, we face shortfalls unless we change our taxation formula. The Lamoka-Waneta Lakes' Protection District tax was started in 2003. There has never been an increase. To make ends meet, we will be proposing an increase. The increase will be 50% over the current rates so that 80' of frontage or less pays $135/year (was $90), greater than 80' of frontage pays $180/year (was $120), access to the lake pays $90/year (was $60), and non-developable properties such as wetlands pay $27 (was $18). It’s our hope that this will keep pace with our expenses.

  • Macrobenthic Invertebrate Survey of Waneta and Lamoka Lakes, Schuyler County, September 16, 1996 and May 12, 1997
    248 Macrobenthic invertebrate survey of Waneta and Lamoka Lakes, Schuyler County, September 16, 1996 and May 12, 1997 M.F. Albrigh( W.N. Harman INTRODUCTION Schuyler County encompasses 331 square miles of the Appalachian Plateau in the Finger Lakes region (Curatolo, 1991). The County's economy is largely tourism-based, relying heavily upon its aquatic natural resources. The eutrophic nature of some of these water bodies, including Waneta and Lamoka Lakes (Figure 1), has had detrimental impacts on traditional lake uses. Macrophyte growth and algal blooms have negatively impacted swimming, fishing, boating, and the perceived aesthetic qualities of theses areas. These changes are believed to have lead to a decline in both tourism and in lakeside property values (Curatolo, 1991). In order to address these concerns, Schuyler County initiated an aquatic vegetation control program in 1986 (Curatolo, 1991). This program was to serve as an integrated approach to manage the county's aquatic resources through monitoring, research, macrophyte harvesting, upland treatment, and public education. In 1990, a comprehensive study was undertaken in order to provide baseline information upon which lake management plans would be based (Curatolo, 1991). This work included a characterization ofthe physical qualities ofthe local lakes, surveys oftheir macroinvertebrate benthic populations, a description of macrophyte harvesting activities, a determination of the feasibility of conducting dredging operations in selected areas. It also addressed means of reducing nutrient inputs to these lakes. This document describes a two part benthic survey of Waneta and Lamoka Lakes, conducted 16 September 1996 and May 12 1997. The timing of these collections was to ensure documentation of temporal diversity.

Bath, New York 14810 ANDREW CUOMO, Governor JOE MARTENS, Commissioner ROBERT K DAVIES, State Forester PREFACE It is the policy of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to manage state lands for multiple benefits to serve the people of New York State. This Unit Management Plan (Unit) is the first step in carrying out that policy. The plan has been developed to address management activities on this unit for the next 10 year period, with a review due in 5 years. Some management recommendations may extend beyond the 10 year period. Factors such as budget constraints, wood product markets, and forest health problems may necessitate deviations from the scheduled management activities. Green Certification New York State DEC-Bureau of State Land Management contracted with NSF-International and Scientific Certification Systems to conduct auditing for the purpose of obtaining dual certification under Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program standards on over 762,000 acres of State Forests in Regions 3 through 9. This independent audit of State Forests was conducted by these auditing firms from May until July 2007, with dual certification awarded in January 2008. With the dual certification the wood harvested off State Forests from this point forward could now be labeled as “green certified” through chain-of-custody certificates.

All rights reserved. Contents About this Booklet 4 Baitfi sh Regulations for Anglers 5 Baitfi sh Regulations for Commercial Dealers 9 Species Descriptions and Use Restrictions 13 Green List Baitfi sh 14 Baitfi sh Restricted to Specifi c Waters 22 What Can I Do to help? 29 3 Baitfi sh of New York State About This Booklet This booklet explains how the careless use of baitfi sh can damage native freshwater fi sh populations, describes commercially available baitfi sh, provides specifi c information on baitfi sh regulations and use restrictions, and provides tips on how each of us can help protect the freshwater fi sheries of New York State when using baitfi sh. Due to their effectiveness on a variety of fi sh species and their ready availability in bait stores, baitfi sh are used by thousands of anglers throughout New York State. Unfortunately, while most anglers are aware of how effective baitfi sh can be, many are completely unaware of the damage that careless use of baitfi sh can have on our fi sh populations. Baitfi sh compete with native fi sh species for food and may also consume their eggs and fry. The end result is that the abundance of native fi sh populations may decline dramatically. In New York, this has become a particular problem in many waters that once supported excellent brook trout fi sheries, but are now dominated by introduced baitfi sh and small panfi sh.
