Community Preservation Plan Town of Chester, NY March 26, 2019 Committee Draft Prepared by the Town of Chester Community Preservation Plan Committee Prepared with technical assistance from: Planit Main Street, Inc. Preface The Town of Chester has long recognized that community planning is an ongoing process. In 2015, the Town Board adopted a Comprehensive Plan, which was an update of its 2003 Comprehensive Plan. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan recommended additional actions, plans and detailed studies to pursue the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Among these were additional measures to protect natural resources, agricultural resources and open space. In September 2017, the Town Board appointed a Community Preservation Plan Committee (CPPC) to guide undertake the creation of the Town’s first Community Preservation Plan. This Community Preservation Plan is not a new departure - rather it incorporates and builds upon the recommendations of the Town’s adopted 2015 Comprehensive Plan and its existing land use regulations. i Acknowledgements The 2017 Community Preservation Plan (CPP) Steering Committee acknowledges the extraordinary work of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Committee in creating the Town’s 2015 Comprehensive Plan.

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.

Hudson River Estuary Program Report on 15 Years of Progress Helping People Enjoy, Protect and Revitalize the Hudson River Estuary and Its Valley
Hudson River Estuary Program Report on 15 Years of Progress Helping people enjoy, protect and revitalize the Hudson River Estuary and its Valley Clean Water * Habitat * River Access * Climate Change * Scenery NYS Department of Environmental Conservation in partnership with: Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor NYS Department of State Joseph Martens, Commissioner NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation NYS Department of Health March 2011 NYS Office of General Services Hudson River Valley Greenway US Environmental Protection Agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration US Department of Interior Dear Friend of the Hudson: Since 1987, the Hudson River Estuary Program (HREP) has been changing the way New York State manages the river and the valley environment. Significant public participation guided the development of our first Action Agenda, adopted in 1996, which enabled a new, comprehensive approach. Now 15 years later, we are: • Coordinating among local, state and federal agencies to achieve shared goals; • Using science and technology to solve river problems; • Building the capacity for local stewardship of natural resources; • Helping people discover the river; and • Building a network for regional cooperation. This report is a snapshot of what the Estuary Program and its partners have been doing for the last 15 years. It shows how we are supporting the quality of life of people and improving the future health and vitality of the natural resources of the Hudson River and its valley. The report begins with the four “Estuary Action Agendas” that have been issued and implemented since 1996. Built on sound science and extensive public input, these Action Agendas have set clear goals and targets for progress that can be objectively measured.

LOCAL IMPACTS and COSTS Exhibit IX. A.2.B Traffic and Roadway
LOCAL IMPACTS AND COSTS Exhibit IX. A.2.b The proposed Resorts World Hudson Valley is a mixed use development that will incorporate a 600‐room hotel with a full‐service gaming facility and a conference center, along with associated, complementary amenities on an approximate 373‐acre site. Potential impacts include those to traffic and noise, watershed impacts from stormwater and wastewater discharge, and hydrologic impacts to surface waters and wetlands. The design for Resorts World Hudson Valley has been developed in conjunction with LEED® measures to minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. Where impacts cannot be avoided, RW Orange County LLC has developed a cohesive mitigation strategy as detailed in Exhibit IX.A.3 Mitigation of Impact to Host Municipality and Nearby Municipalities. Traffic and Roadway Infrastructure Preliminary Transportation Demand Impacts Development of the proposed Resorts World Hudson Valley would generate substantial numbers of new vehicular trips by auto, taxi and bus on the roadway system providing access to the project site. The majority of these trips (approximately 90 percent) would arrive and depart via I‐84, with Route 17K, Route 747 and Route 207 providing local access. Most vehicles destined to/from I‐84 would use the I‐84/Route 747 interchange located immediately to the southeast of the project site which was designed to accommodate future demand from expanded use of the nearby Stewart International Airport. As this airport demand has not been realized, the I‐84/Route 747 interchange typically functions with available capacity during peak periods. A new signalized intersection on Route 17K and a new roundabout on Route 747 would provide access to the proposed project’s internal roadway system.

HUDSON RIVER RISING Riverkeeper Leads a Growing Movement to Protect the Hudson
Confronting climate | Restoring nature | Building resilience annual journal HUDSON RIVER RISING Riverkeeper leads a growing movement to protect the Hudson. Its power is unstoppable. RIVERKEEPER JOURNAL 01 Time and again, the public rises to speak for a voiceless Hudson. While challenges mount, our voices grow stronger. 02 RIVERKEEPER JOURNAL PRESIDENT'S LETTER Faith and action It’s all too easy to feel hopeless these days, lish over forty new tanker and barge anchorages allowing storage of crude when you think about the threat posed by climate oil right on the Hudson, Riverkeeper is working with local partners to stop disruption and the federal government’s all-out another potentially disastrous plan to build enormous storm surge barriers war on basic clean water and habitat protection at the entrance to the Hudson Estuary. Instead, we and our partners are laws. Yet, Riverkeeper believes that a better fighting for real-world, comprehensive and community-driven solutions future remains ours for the taking. to coastal flooding risks. We think it makes perfect sense to feel hope- History was made, here on the Hudson. Groundbreaking legal pro- ful, given New York’s new best-in-the-nation tections were born here, over half a century ago, when earlier waves of climate legislation and its record levels of spend- activists rose to protect the Adirondacks, the Palisades and Storm King ing on clean water (which increased by another Mountain and restore our imperiled fish and wildlife. These founders had $500 million in April). This year, The Empire State also banned river-foul- no playbook and certainly no guarantee of success.

Army Corps of Engineers Response Document Draft
3.0 ORANGE COUNTY Orange County has experienced numerous water resource problems along the main stem and the associated tributaries of the Moodna Creek and the Ramapo River that are typically affected by flooding during heavy rain events over the past several years including streambank erosion, agradation, sedimentation, deposition, blockages, environmental degradation, water quality and especially flooding. However, since October 2005, the flooding issues have severely increased and flooding continues during storm events that may or may not be considered significant. Areas affected as a result of creek flows are documented in the attached trip reports (Appendix D). Throughout the Orange County watershed, site visits confirmed opportunities to stabilize the eroding or threatened banks restore the riparian habitat while controlling sediment transport and improving water quality, and balance the flow regime. If the local municipalities choose to request Federal involvement, there are several options, depending on their budget, desired timeframe and intended results. The most viable options include a specifically authorized watershed study or program, or an emergency streambank protection project (Section 14 of the Continuing Authorities Program), or pursing a Continuing Authorities Program study for Flood Risk Management or Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration (Section 205 and Section 206 of the Continuing Authorities Program, respectively). Limited Federal involvement could also be provided in the form of the Planning Assistance to States or Support for Others programs provide assistance and limited funds outside of traditional Corps authorities. A watershed study focusing on restoration of the Moodna Creek, Otter Creek, Ramapo River and their associated tributaries could address various problems using a systematic approach.
