DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, ' Washington, D. C., May &£, 1902. SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript by Mr. Marshall O. Leighton, relating to sewage pollution in the metropolitan area, and to request that it be published in the series of Water-Supply ( and Irrigation Papers. In an investigation of the water resources of the country it becomes necessary in the thickly settled portions to give consideration not merely to the quantity of water and its fluctu­ ations, but also to the quality, and to the changes that are taking place owing to the presence of various industries. The best methods of utilizing the water resources of the country are dependent not only upon geologic and topographic features, but also upon what has been termed cultural conditions, the latter embracing I all of the changes brought about by man. The accompanying discus­ sion by Mr. Leighton relates to a portion of the most thickly settled ( part of the United States, and shows that water resources may be so misused that streams which in their natural condition were useful and ; attractive may be rendered obnoxious and made sources of loss to the | community. j Very respectfully, F. H. NEWELL, Hydrographer in Charge. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. SEWAGE POLLUTION IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA NEAR NEW YORK CITY AND ITS EFFECT ON INLAND WATER RESOURCES. By MARSHALL O. LEIGHTON. NORMAL WATERS. In a primeval country, undisturbed by the advance of civilization, where there are no houses, barns, or factories, the water that flows from a drainage basin may be said to be normal. This, however, does not mean that the water is chemically pure. The water of precipita­ tion or rainfall, which is the origin of all surface waters, takes three courses, the proportion carried along each depending upon many physical characters and conditions. There is, first, that which is evaporated or absorbed by vegetation; second, that which runs off the ground directly into water courses; and third, that which sinks into the ground and reappears in various well-known ways after having filtered through the earth. The character of the water is markedly influenced by the ingre­ dients which it takes up along these courses, and therefore chemically pure water is seldom found in nature. Water that runs along the earth's surface directly into natural water courses carries in suspen­ sion a large quantity of fine particles which lie in its way vegetable matter in a state of complete disintegration, organic matter in various stages of oxidation, minute particles of sand and mineral matter from the earth, and large quantities of silt. On the other hand, water that sinks into the ground leaves behind, in the majority of cases, these suspended particles, but when it reappears it carries in solution the soluble mineral constituents of the earth through which it has passed, and, if it then contains any dissolved organic matter it is usually in an advanced state of oxidation. Water thus discharged from drainage areas is by no means uniform in composition, nor is it of the same nature in the same area during a series of examinations. Run-off water varies in character according to the amount of precipitation, the 7 8 SEWAGE POLLUTION NEAR NEW YORK CITY. [NO. 72. season of the year and consequent state of vegetation, the extremes of temperature, the nature and slope of the surface of the land, and many other physical conditions, varying familiarly from season to season. During the season of copious rains it is observed that water from a drainage area carries along more sediment than during seasons of normal precipitation, and analysis would show that the organic matter contained in the water is in larger proportion. At the close of the warm season, during which vegetation has been flourishing, there is much less decayed and dried vegetable matter to be carried along than during the spring season, after the winter has destroyed the tender growth of the previous summer. Again, during the warm season there is a larger proportion of precipitation absorbed by vegetation and evaporated. The season is also a factor in determining the condition of water in countries in which snow covers the ground for a part of the year. During the time of snow the water which during warm seasons would be immediately diverted to its accustomed channels is retained upon the surface of the earth, to be evaporated by prevailing winds or to be melted quickly upon the approach of spring. The slope and the nature of the surface of the land are important factors in determining the character of surface waters. Where sur­ faces are steep and smooth a large proportion of water runs directly into streams, and with it a great amount of sediment, while upon most flat surfaces nearly all the precipitation not directly evaporated sinks into the ground. Between the steep, smooth surfaces and the flat ones there are many gradations, each

    rartioter Vol. XII, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 9 BLACK DOME IN 1924 The Catskill Mountains have been known to white men for three hundred years and their valleys have been settled more than a cen- tury. It would seem as if all their summits ought by this time to be easily accessible by well known trails. Yet there are a dozen or more of the higher ones, above 3500 feet, which have no trails to their summits and which are climbed only by the exploring hiker, or perhaps a bear hunter in winter. I recently found another trackless peak, Black Dome, just under 4000 feet--3990 according to the Durham sheet of the United States Geological Survey--on a week-end climb in the northern Catskills. There is no trail over it, and the only paths that reach its flanks are faded out logging roads in the valleys north and south, attain- ing heights 1500 feet below its highest point. Black Dome is the central and highest of the three peaks that make up the Blackhead Mountains, running east and west, Black Head being the easternmost, then Black Dome and the last Thomas Cole. The other two are about fifty feet lower than the Dome. South of them is the valley of the East Kill, north that of Batavia Kill. North of Black Head runs a long ridge to Acra Point, then turning west to Windham High Peak. South this ridge runs through North Mountain and Stoppel Mountain to Kaaterskill Clove. Black Head is accessible by a good trail.

    Assessment of Public Comment on Draft Trout Stream Management Plan

    Assessment of public comments on draft New York State Trout Stream Management Plan OCTOBER 27, 2020 Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor | Basil Seggos, Commissioner A draft of the Fisheries Management Plan for Inland Trout Streams in New York State (Plan) was released for public review on May 26, 2020 with the comment period extending through June 25, 2020. Public comment was solicited through a variety of avenues including: • a posting of the statewide public comment period in the Environmental Notice Bulletin (ENB), • a DEC news release distributed statewide, • an announcement distributed to all e-mail addresses provided by participants at the 2017 and 2019 public meetings on trout stream management described on page 11 of the Plan [353 recipients, 181 unique opens (58%)], and • an announcement distributed to all subscribers to the DEC Delivers Freshwater Fishing and Boating Group [138,122 recipients, 34,944 unique opens (26%)]. A total of 489 public comments were received through e-mail or letters (Appendix A, numbered 1-277 and 300-511). 471 of these comments conveyed specific concerns, recommendations or endorsements; the other 18 comments were general statements or pertained to issues outside the scope of the plan. General themes to recurring comments were identified (22 total themes), and responses to these are included below. These themes only embrace recommendations or comments of concern. Comments that represent favorable and supportive views are not included in this assessment. Duplicate comment source numbers associated with a numbered theme reflect comments on subtopics within the general theme. Theme #1 The statewide catch and release (artificial lures only) season proposed to run from October 16 through March 31 poses a risk to the sustainability of wild trout populations and the quality of the fisheries they support that is either wholly unacceptable or of great concern, particularly in some areas of the state; notably Delaware/Catskill waters.

    Where's Black Creek???

    Black Creek??? Where’s Black Creek??? by Ralph J. Ferrusi s a life-long resident of the mid-Hudson Valley, I’ve spent a Alot of time Boating on the Hudson (and Beyond...), hiking, biking, canoeing, skiing, cross-country skiing, working, tour- guiding, wine-tasting; you get the picture. I’ve always been aware of the Hudson’s many creeks—the Wappingers and Fishkill Creeks have become my “home creeks”—but to me the Esopus and the Rondout have always been the Big Guns, each starting high up in the Catskills, fattening out to reservoirs, and ultimately making a grand entrance into the Hudson. Winnisook Lake, in a 2,660 foot saddle west of 4,180-foot Slide Mountain, the highest peak in the Catskills, is the source of the 65.4-mile-long Esopus. First heading north, then swinging around to the southeast, it becomes the Ashokan Reservoir. It then heads east and scootches around Kingston, where it turns due north to Saugerties, crosses under 9W/32, 44 June 2017 Find Us On Facebook at Boating On The Hudson boatingonthehudson.com June 2017 45 stupid to attempt to deal with it.

Some dams are relatively low: for example, the Rondout Mountain Park (got that???). Creek dam is not very tall, but broad. Others are pretty big, We typically put in at New Paltz Road, and head north, with even huge: the Fishkill Creek has several big dams, the dam in the fairly mild current.

Bard emphasizes mandatory curricular components, with the goal of preparing students for a lifetime of thoughtful engagement with complex issues. These issues are often scientific in nature, and thus necessitate an ability to engage with frequently unfamiliar scientific concepts in a thoughtful and appropriate way, the essence of scientific literacy. Inability to do so can lead to disempowerment and lack of engagement. In recognition that scientific literacy is both a key feature of, and pathway to, an engaged and informed citizenry, Citizen Science was added to the College’s first year core curriculum in 2011. The Citizen Science program is an intense 3-week course held over the January intersession, during which all first year students participate in common processes of scientific inquiry.
