    Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Village of Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation Village of Sleepy Hollow Westchester County, New York November 2015 Dolph Rotfeld Engineering, P.C. 200 White Plains Road Tarrytown, NY 10591 Village of Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation November 2015 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 1. GENERAL SITE DESCRIPTION a. Scope The purpose of this analysis is to examine the impact on stormwater quantity and quality with the filling and stockpiling of material on the 27.8 ± acre parcel located at the end of Continental Street in the Village of Sleepy Hollow, New York. Development at the site will include disturbance of 6.0± total acres of the previously developed parcel. b. Existing Conditions The site is now vacant land. It was previously developed with a parking area and auxiliary buildings. The existing buildings have been demolished but the paved areas remain. There are currently piles of stockpiled material around the site that will be removed prior to the activity proposed and described in this report. The site where the material is to be stockpiled is currently classified as urban land and Riverhead loam on steep slope as outlined by the Westchester County Soils Survey. The site is located partially within the 100 year flood plain and flood way and is completely tributary to the Pocantico River via existing drainage culverts and overland flow. In the Existing Condition the project site is divided into two surface types (impervious pavements and wooded steep slopes). No activity is proposed in the flood way or on the steep slopes. The following soils can be found on the property based on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service Soil Survey of Putnam and Westchester Counties, New York (See Figure 1).

  • B. 1. Existing Land and Water Uses 11·3
    SECTION II INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS A. OVERVIEW The Town of Poughkeepsie has a coastal area that is characterized by a diversity of largely urban land uses while retaining many significant. natural and cultural resources. With approximately two miles of frontage on Wappinger Creek and 8.5 miles on the Hudson River, the Town occupies an important position in the Mid-Hudson Valley's economy. The proposed coastal boundary ranges from 700 to 7,000 feet inland from the water's edge. The railroad and topography have both played a part in the development of the Town's waterfront -- effectively limiting access. A mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses occupy the coastal area; some of these uses are water-dependent. Several businesses and institutions including the Hudson River Psychiatric Center, Marist College, Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery, IBM and New York Trap Rock quarry occupy large sites which further limit both physical and visual access to the Hudson River. Section B below describes the various natural and man-made features of the coastal area and their implications for waterfront policy making. Section C highlights major issues and opportunities that this Local Water Revitalization Program will address. B. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Field surveys, previous studies and published data were all used to assemble an inventory of existing conditions and features of the coastal area. Base maps were prepared to illustrate the data and photographs taken to record selected images. The results of this inventory and analysis process are presented below and illustrated on the accompanying maps. 1. Existing Land and Water Uses a.

  • A Short History of Poughkeepsie's Upper
    A Short History of Poughkeepsie’s Upper Landing Written by Michael Diaz Chapter 1: Native Americans, the Dutch, and the English When Henry Hudson and his crew first sailed past what is now the City of Poughkeepsie in 1609, they sailed into a region that had been inhabited for centuries by a mixture of Algonquin-speaking peoples from the Mahican, Lenape, and Munsee cultures. The people living closest to the waterfall called “Pooghkepesingh” were Wappinger, part of the Lenape nation. The Wappinger likely had ample reason to settle near the Pooghkepesingh falls – the river and the small stream that ran to it from the falls provided good places to fish, and the surrounding hills offered both protection and ample opportunities to hunt. As the Dutch colony of New Netherland took shape along the banks of the Hudson River, the Dutch largely bypassed the river’s east bank. The Dutch preferred settling on the river’s mouth (now New York City), its northern navigable terminus (today’s Albany), and landings on the western bank of the Hudson (such as the modern city of Kingston). As such, Europeans did not show up in force near the Pooghkepesingh falls until the late 17th century. By that time, the Dutch had lost control of their colony to the English. It was a mix of these two groups that started building what is now the city of Poughkeepsie. On May 5, 1683, a Wappinger named Massany signed a deed giving control of the land around the Pooghkepesingh falls to two Dutch settlers, Pieter Lansingh and Jan Smeedes, who planned to build a mill on the small creek running from the falls.

    Chapter 7: Designated Significant and Protected Areas of Dutchess County (DRAFT) Chapter 7: Designated Protected and Significant Areas of Dutchess County, NY ______________________________________________________________________________ Emily Vail, Neil Curri, Noela Hooper, and Allison Chatrchyan1 February 2012 (DRAFT ) Significant natural areas are valued for their environmental importance Chapter Contents and beauty, and include unusual geologic features such as scenic Protected Land Critical Environmental mountain ridges, steep ravines, and caves; hydrological features such Areas as rivers, lakes, springs, and wetlands; and areas that support Other Significant Areas threatened or endangered species or unusually diverse plant and Implications for Decision- Making animal communities. Both significant natural areas and scenic Resources resources enhance the environmental health and quality of life in Dutchess County. An area can be significant for several different reasons, including its habitat, scenic, cultural, economic, or historical values. Many areas are significant because they are unique in some way. 1 This chapter was written by Emily Vail (Cornell Cooperative Extension Environment & Energy Program), Neil Curri (Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County Environment & Energy Program), Noela Hooper (Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development), and Allison Chatrchyan (Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County Environment & Energy Program). The chapter is presented here in DRAFT form. Final version expected March 2012. The Natural Resource Inventory of Dutchess County, NY 1 Chapter 7: Designated Significant and Protected Areas of Dutchess County (DRAFT) Significant natural areas provide many ecosystem services, including wildlife habitat, water supply protection, recreational space, and opportunities for outdoor research. (For more information on ecosystem services, see Chapter 1: Introduction.) In order to sustain their value, it is import to protect these areas.

  • Distribution of Ddt, Chlordane, and Total Pcb's in Bed Sediments in the Hudson River Basin
    NYES&E, Vol. 3, No. 1, Spring 1997 DISTRIBUTION OF DDT, CHLORDANE, AND TOTAL PCB'S IN BED SEDIMENTS IN THE HUDSON RIVER BASIN Patrick J. Phillips1, Karen Riva-Murray1, Hannah M. Hollister2, and Elizabeth A. Flanary1. 1U.S. Geological Survey, 425 Jordan Road, Troy NY 12180. 2Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Troy NY 12180. Abstract Data from streambed-sediment samples collected from 45 sites in the Hudson River Basin and analyzed for organochlorine compounds indicate that residues of DDT, chlordane, and PCB's can be detected even though use of these compounds has been banned for 10 or more years. Previous studies indicate that DDT and chlordane were widely used in a variety of land use settings in the basin, whereas PCB's were introduced into Hudson and Mohawk Rivers mostly as point discharges at a few locations. Detection limits for DDT and chlordane residues in this study were generally 1 µg/kg, and that for total PCB's was 50 µg/kg. Some form of DDT was detected in more than 60 percent of the samples, and some form of chlordane was found in about 30 percent; PCB's were found in about 33 percent of the samples. Median concentrations for p,p’- DDE (the DDT residue with the highest concentration) were highest in samples from sites representing urban areas (median concentration 5.3 µg/kg) and lower in samples from sites in large watersheds (1.25 µg/kg) and at sites in nonurban watersheds. (Urban watershed were defined as those with a population density of more than 60/km2; nonurban watersheds as those with a population density of less than 60/km2, and large watersheds as those encompassing more than 1,300 km2.

Such decisions include strategies to minimize future Flood Resilience Education in the Hudson River Estuary: Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation flooding impacts while also properly responding to storm impacts to streams and adjacent and associated infrastructure. This project had three main components: 1) a flood education needs assessment of local municipal officials (2013), 2) an evaluation of a flood education program for highway personnel (2013), and 3) a survey of riparian landowners (2014). The riparian landowner needs assessment determined that the majority of riparian landowners in the region have experienced flooding, yet few are actually engaging in stream management to mitigate flood issues on their land.

  • Eel Migration in the Hudson River Estuary (High School)
    Eel Migration in the Hudson River Estuary (High School) Time: one 40-minute class period Setting: Classroom Objectives: Students will understand variability in the abundance of American eels (Anguilla rostrata) in tributaries of the Hudson River by comparing data from different locations over time. Overview: This lesson should follow a comprehensive introduction to the DEC Eel Project. Students should enter this lesson with knowledge about the American Eel species (Anguilla rostrata) and its life cycle, how the data is collected, why the project is important, and the basic geography of the Hudson River estuary. Some resources are linked in the materials section to help introduce the Eel Project. In this lesson, students will: 1. Model the geographic location of each eel sampling site relative to one another and the Hudson River estuary. 2. Describe the variability between sampling sites. 3. Identify trends in number of eels collected at an individual site. 4. Hypothesize why variability exists between sites and over time. Materials: Whiteboard with dry erase marker for each group (10) Mile marker map Computers Google Maps Student worksheet Sticky notes Data and graphs from the Eel Project 2008-2017 Exit tickets Engage: 1. Students should break up into 10 groups consisting of 1-3 students each. Students should have the following materials with them: computer, whiteboard and dry erase marker, Eel Project graph for their site. 2. Assign each group one of the following sampling sites: Hannacroix Creek, Saw Kill, Black Creek, Crum Elbow, Fall Kill, Quassaick Creek, Indian Brook, Furnace Brook, Minisceongo Creek, Richmond Creek. Students write the name of their site and the mile marker on the white board.
