  • Hutchinson River CSO Long Term Control Plan (LTCP)
    Hutchinson River CSO Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) The Hutchinson River is an area of significant natural resources that provides communities in the Bronx with nature access at Pelham Bay Park as well as other areas along the river. DEP will complete a Long Term Control Plan to better understand how combined sewer overflows (CSOs) affect water quality and related recreational uses in the Hutchinson River waterbody. The goal for the combined sewer overflow Long Term Control Plan is to identify the appropriate controls necessary to achieve waterbody-specific water quality standards, consistent with EPA’s 1994 CSO Policy and subsequent guidance. The Hutchinson River begins in Westchester County, flows through the Bronx into Eastchester Bay Tributary to East River. The Hutchinson River is classified for primary and secondary recreation contact and fishing. The portion of the river within New York City can be affected by pollutant loads originating in the upstream portions of the river located in Westchester County. In anticipation of developing and finalizing the Hutchinson River LTCP, DEP will continue to study and evaluate load reduction alternatives in the Hutchinson River as well as collaborate with DEC to approach multi-jurisdictional issues. In addition, DEP is investing approximately $18 million dollars in Green Infrastructure in the combined sewer areas over the next few years. DEP is investing approximately $18 million dollars in three large projects New York City Housing Authority Retrofit – Edenwald Houses • Impervious area managed:

Exploration and settlement of the New York State area by the Dutch and English 1. Relationships between the colonists and the Native American Indians 4. Rivalry between the Dutch and English eventually resulting in English supremacy Project Aim: Through an investigation of the long history of the Bartow-Pell estate, students discover the far-reaching influence of this family in American history throughout their long occupation of this property. Students will also be able to contextualize history as a series of events that are caused by and effect the lives of real people. Students will be able to imagine the great events of American history through the lens of a family local to the Bronx. Vocabulary: Greek Revival: A style of art that was popular in the 19th Century that was a reaction to Baroque Art. This style was derived from the art and culture of ancient Greece and imitated this period’s architecture and fascination for order and simplicity.

  • Pleistocene Multi-Glacier Hypothesis Supported by Newly Exposed Glacial Sediments, South Twin Island, the Bronx, New York
    111 PLEISTOCENE MULTI-GLACIER HYPOTHESIS SUPPORTED BY NEWLY EXPOSED GLACIAL SEDIMENTS, SOUTH TWIN ISLAND, THE BRONX, NEW YORK John E. Sanders, Charles Merguerian, Jessica Levine, and Paul M. Carter Geology Department, 114 Hofstra University Hempstead, NY 11550-1090 INTRODUCTION On 02 November 1996, during Hofstra University Geology Department's biannual Introductory Geology field trip to Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx, CM noticed that the intense storm of 19 October 1996 had undercut the coastal bluff at the south end of Soutb Twin Island, exposing a brownish till beneath previously visible reddish-brown till. Subsequent to this short- but enlightening large-class visit, we revisited the site on 05 and 12 November 1996 to excavate-, clean up-, and sample a 2-m-high face that exposed four layers of Pleistocene strata, the lowest of which was found to rest on striated bedrock of the Hartland Formation. Based on our previous studies of ice-eroded features on the bedrock here and elsewhere in southeastern New York, we found evidence of three glaciations, with ice flow from the NNE (G lacier I of Table 1), from the NNW (Glaciers IT and/or m, which created the spectacular set of parallel striae oriented N32°W-S32°E at South Twin Island), and from the NNE (Glacier TV). We thought the storm and our shovels had exposed Till TV . The mineral composition- and color oftbe +0.5-phi fraction of the Pleistocene materials from the newly exposed section, however seems to indicate otherwise. Only two contrasting suites are present in four distinct layers: (A) a reddish-brown layer in which well-rounded reddish-brown siltstone rock fragments predominate, and (B) three other layers.

A River Runs Through It: Community Access to the Bronx River in Tremont and Hunts Point Matthew Bodnar May 2011 Rivers that run through urban areas are often neglected and forgotten. This is because the primary services that they provide for major cities are transportation and shipping. Many urban waterways have become polluted as a result and fail to reach much of their potential. New York City’s rivers and waterfronts are not typically a place where people seek recreation in the form of swimming or boating, except for a few places such as Coney Island, City Island, and Rockaway Beach. Other waterways that could be assets for their communities are also sometimes overlooked. After living in the Bronx for three years, the only knowledge that I had about the Bronx River was that it ran through the forest in the Botanical Gardens.

  • City of New Rochelle, New York, As Seen from the Air in 1938
    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.
