The project is located east of Ithaca, New York, and consists of 29.8 miles of transmission line located between a substation on Route 13, just outside of the hamlet of Etna, Tompkins County, and the site of a proposed new substation in Lapeer, Cortland County, New York. The scope of this historic architectural investigation was to collect documentary evidence pursuant to the history of the project area, identify and document any structures 50 years in age or older within two miles laterally in either direction of the transmission line corridor, and make preliminary determinations of effect for historic structures eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The historic architectural survey was conducted during April and May 2008. During the survey, 735 resources 50 years or older were documented. URS has determined that nine resources in the survey area are listed on the National Register.

  • Beach Resort Area Plan the Beach Resort Area Includes Most of the Village’S Resort and Tourist-Oriented Activities
    106 I. SUMMARY MAJOR VILLAGE GOAL: Conservation and improvement of the desirable qualities of the Village through implementation of planning policies that serve to maintain a suitable balance of uses and densities while allowing for appropriate future development. Removal and improvement of the undesirable qualities of the Village through implementation of planning policies and programs that will serve to complement the desirable qualities of the Village. GENERAL LAND USE GOALS: A distribution of types and densities of land use that meets the physical, social, cultural and economic needs of the present and future residents and the needs of present and future tourists. A land use pattern that provides options for a variety of residential living environments, opportunities for recreation and culture, and desirable location of tourist and other resident-serving businesses. A land use pattern that is consistent with the capabilities of the street system, sewage disposal system, water distribution system, drainage facilities, public open space, and natural environmental systems. A land use pattern that separates and ensures non-encroachment of incompatible types and densities of land uses. 107 BASIC PREMISES AND ASSUMPTIONS The basic premises and assumptions that have had the most obvious and direct influence on the Plan are summarized below. Statements on the full implications of these premises and assumptions are included in the appropriate sections of the Plan and the Planning Reference Guide. Many of the premises and assumptions are based on goals and objectives established to guide the development of the Plan or on various projections. REGIONAL OPPORTUNITIES The location of Sylvan Beach, its adjacency to the Lake and the Canal, is its most important regional opportunity.

  • The Plus Site: an Iroquoian Remote Camp in Upland Tompkins County, Ny*
    NORTH AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGIST, Vol. 21(3) 181-215, 2000 THE PLUS SITE: AN IROQUOIAN REMOTE CAMP IN UPLAND TOMPKINS COUNTY, NY* TIMOTHY J. ABEL Public Archaeology Facility, Binghamton University ABSTRACT Between 1997 and 1998, the Public Archaeology Facility, at Binghamton University, was contracted by the New York State Education Department on behalf of the Department of Transportation to conduct investigations of the Plus site (SUBi-1736; NYSM #10494), located in the Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York. The site occupies an inland setting in the Virgil/Fall Creek watershed, lying on a glacial gravel hill adjacent to Willow Glen Cemetery along NY Route 13. Site examination and data recovery excavations in threatened areas of the site revealed a cluster of Late Woodland cultural features including hearths, a storage/refuse pit, and postmolds. The artifactual materials from these cultural features suggest the Plus site func- tioned as an Iroquois remote camp occupied during the late 14th century. The Plus site represents the first Iroquois remote campsite in central New York to receive intensive subsurface investigation. INTRODUCTION Iroquoian archaeologists have traditionally given research priority to village sites, in an attempt to trace the developmental history of the various historically- contacted nations (e.g., Niemczycki, 1984; Ritchie, 1980; Tuck, 1971; Wray and *Funding for the Plus site investigation was provided by the State Department of Transportation under the 1999-2000 Highway Program. 181 Ó 2000, Baywood Publishing Co., Inc. 182 / ABEL Schoff, 1953). This has been predictable given the more certain abundance of chronological and contextual data (i.e., ceramics, houses) to be found in areas with long habitation periods such as villages.

Case No. R7-20031106-128 PROCEEDINGS In a notice of hearing and complaint dated September 21, 2007, staff of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“Department”) alleged that respondent, the Town of Virgil (the “Town” or “Respondent”), violated Article 23, Title 27 of the Environmental Conservation Law (“ECL”) and Parts 420- 425 of Title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules, and Regulations of the State of New York (“6 NYCRR”) by failing to reclaim a mine known as the Osbeck Gravel Pit (the “Mine”). The Mine is located due east of New York State Route 13 in the Town of Cortlandville, Cortland County, New York. In the complaint, Department Staff asked the Commissioner to order the Town to reclaim the Mine, and to impose a $35,000 penalty. The Town served a timely answer to the complaint on October 16, 2007. In the answer, the Town denied that it was responsible for reclaiming the Mine, and asserted six affirmative defenses. Pursuant to Section 622.9 of 6 NYCRR, on October 26, 2007, Department Staff filed a statement of readiness with the Department’s Office of Hearings and Mediation Services (“OHMS”).
