    SECTION 5.4.3: RISK ASSESSMENT – FLOOD 5.4.3 FLOOD This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the flood hazard. HAZARD PROFILE This section provides hazard profile information including description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the U.S. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river basins, coastlines and multiple counties or states) (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2006). Most communities in the U.S. have experienced some kind of flooding, after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, coastal storms, or winter snow thaws (George Washington University, 2001). Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazards in New York State in terms of human hardship and economic loss, particularly to communities that lie within flood prone areas or flood plains of a major water source. The FEMA definition for flooding is “a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties from the overflow of inland or tidal waters or the rapid accumulation of runoff of surface waters from any source (FEMA, Date Unknown).” The New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission (NYSDPC) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) indicates that flooding could originate from one

  • Tackling Pinot Noir in the Finger Lakes at Forge Cellars, Partners from the Rhône Valley and New York Meet the Challenge
    Search Site Sign In | Create Account August 2017 Issue of Wines & Vines SUBSCRIBE » Tackling Pinot Noir in the Finger Lakes At Forge Cellars, partners from the Rhône Valley and New York meet the challenge by Ray Pompilio Pinot Noir is a difficult cultivar to grow successfully. Named “the heartbreak grape” by Marq De Villiers in his 1994 book about winemaker Josh Jensen at the Calera Wine Co., it continues to challenge growers and winemakers throughout numerous grapegrowing regions, especially in New York’s cool- climate Finger Lakes. This challenge is being met head-on by a partnership stretching from Gigondas, France, to Hector, N.Y., with its center at Forge Cellars on the east shore of Seneca Lake. The three partners include Louis Barruol, winegrower and winemaker for Chateau de Saint Cosme, owned by his family since 1570 (Barruol is the 42nd family member to serve as winemaker), and two wine professionals in the Finger Lakes: winemaker Justin Boyette and general manager/vineyard manager, Rick Rainey. Forge Cellars’ 2011 vintage, its first, was produced at the Hector Wine Co., where Boyette is winemaker. Each vintage through 2016 was produced there, but Forge now has a brand-new standalone facility built nearby. The winery produces wines only from Riesling and Pinot Noir. The 2015 and 2016 vintages are currently aging at the new winery, and 2017 will be the first vintage produced there. The new, energy-efficient winery facility is a 6,500-square-foot building designed and built under the direction of Rick Rainey. It was constructed of structural insulated panels (SIP) built by Energy Panel Structures Inc.

  • New York Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide: 2015-16
    NEW YORK Freshwater FISHING2015–16 OFFICIAL REGULATIONS GUIDE VOLUME 7, ISSUE NO. 1, APRIL 2015 Fishing for Muskie www.dec.ny.gov Most regulations are in effect April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR New York: A State of Angling Opportunity When it comes to freshwater fishing, no state in the nation can compare to New York. Our Great Lakes consistently deliver outstanding fishing for salmon and steelhead and it doesn’t stop there. In fact, New York is home to four of the Bassmaster’s top 50 bass lakes, drawing anglers from around the globe to come and experience great smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. The crystal clear lakes and streams of the Adirondack and Catskill parks make New York home to the very best fly fishing east of the Rockies. Add abundant walleye, panfish, trout and trophy muskellunge and northern pike to the mix, and New York is clearly a state of angling opportunity. Fishing is a wonderful way to reconnect with the outdoors. Here in New York, we are working hard to make the sport more accessible and affordable to all. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $6 million, renovating existing boat launches and developing new ones across the state. This is in addition to the 50 new projects begun in 2014 that will make it easier for all outdoors enthusiasts to access the woods and waters of New York. Our 12 DEC fish hatcheries produce 900,000 pounds of fish each year to increase fish populations and expand and improve angling opportunities.

  • 2014 Update on the Chloride Hydrogeochemistry in Seneca Lake, New York
    A 2014 UPDATE ON THE CHLORIDE HYDROGEOCHEMISTRY IN SENECA LAKE, NEW YORK. John Halfman Department of Geoscience, Environmental Studies Program, Finger Lakes Institute Hobart & William Smith Colleges Geneva, NY 14456 [email protected] 12/10/2014 Introduction: Seneca Lake is the largest of the 11, elongated, north-south trending, Finger Lakes in central and western New York State (Fig. 1). It has a volume, surface area, watershed area, and maximum depth of 15.5 km3, 175 km2, 1,621 km2 (including Keuka watershed), and 188 m, respectively (Mullins et al., 1996). The lake basins were formed by glacial meltwaters eroding and deepening former stream valleys underneath the retreating Pleistocene Ice Sheet cutting into the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks approximately 10,000 years ago. Each basin was subsequently filled with a thick deposit of glacial tills and a thin veneer of pro-glacial lake clays. Basins not completely filled with sediment (e.g., Tully Valley), were subsequently filled with water and slowly accumulating postglacial muds. Seneca Lake is classified as a Class AA water resource by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), except for a few locations along the shore (http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/4592.html, Halfman et al., 2012). It supplies drinking water to approximately 100,000 people in the surrounding communities. Berg (1963) and Schaffner and Oglesby (1978) noted that chloride concentrations were significantly larger in Seneca Lake, and to a lesser extent in Cayuga Lake, than the other Finger Lakes. Wing et al. (1995) argued that the elevated chloride concentrations required an extra source of chloride beyond the measured fluvial fluxes to the lake.

  • Frozen Cayuga & Seneca Lakes Article with Picture
    When Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake Have Frozen Over by Walt Gable, Seneca County Historian, Feb. 2009 Whenever we have a good “old-fashioned” winter, it is easy for Seneca County residents to begin to speculate if ‘the lake might soon freeze over.” The odds, while not great, are better that it could happen to Cayuga Lake than Seneca Lake. This is because Cayuga Lake has frozen over several more times in recorded history than has Seneca Lake. Cayuga Lake also froze over more recently (1979) than Seneca Lake (1912). This 1927 picture shows a frozen Cayuga Lake near the village of Cayuga. The infrequent freezing of Seneca Lake has led to a joke that people should put Seneca Lake water in their car’s radiator because this water never freezes. Apparently this comment was frequently mentioned to the trainees at Sampson Naval Station during World War II.1 Arch Merrill in his 1951 book Slim Finger Beckon makes reference to this “modern legend.” Some Basic Information Before going any further in this discussion, there needs to be clarification as to just what constitutes a “frozen over lake.” For our purposes in this article, “frozen over lake” will mean a lake whose surface is virtually entirely frozen over—allowing for some isolated “air holes” and/or areas nearer to shore where there is some “open water,” perhaps because of warm water being discharged. In other words, we will use “frozen over” to mean the same as “virtually completely frozen over.” If a portion of either Cayuga or Seneca Lake has ice extending from some place on the eastern shoreline to the western shoreline, when other parts of the lake are not frozen from shore to shore, this will not be considered as completely frozen over.
