Comprehensive Plan Committee to Prepare a Comprehensive Plan for the Town INTRODUCTION In 2012, the Town of Ephratah Town Board created a Comprehensive Plan Committee to prepare a Comprehensive Plan for the Town. The following persons were appointed by the Town Board to serve on this Special Committee: Todd Bradt Nancy Christman Ivan Duesler Bruce Frasier William J. Simpson Judy Townsend Rosalyn S. Wood The Town of Ephratah requested the services of the Fulton County Planning Department to assist the Comprehensive Plan Committee in the development of the Comprehensive Plan. The Committee began work on the Comprehensive Plan in October, 2012 and completed its work in 2013. The Town desires to have a plan for its future. This Comprehensive Plan represents that plan or vision. In addition, this Comprehensive Plan recommends a series of initiatives for which the Town may want to seek State or Federal funding to help pay for the cost of implementing these initiatives. Today, many State and Federal funding programs require communities to have Comprehensive Plans that include the initiative for which funding is being requested. The adopting of this Comprehensive Plan would allow the Town to seek desired State and federal funding for specific projects and initiatives identified herein.

The Town will feature a Town Center located at the intersection of New York State R oute 29 and NYS Route 10 heading south. Town Center will be the focal point of activity in the Town and will feature a mixture and variety of uses for residents and visitors alike including: 1. Gas Station 2. Convenience Store 3. Sandwich/Coffee Shop 4. Farmers Market 5. Boutique shops 6. Town Hall 7. Post Office 8. Senior Housing 9. Townhouses 10. Walking Trail 11. Other Towu Center will be a small, concentrated area of development that features buildings designed to provide Town Center with a unique and distinctive character and theme. The commercial development in Town Center has expanded the Town's tax base and increased sales tax revenues which stabilized tax 1·ates for property owners. A new Town HaU will be located in Town Center and provide space for: 1. Town Offices 2. Meeting Room 3. Community Room 4. Records Storage 5. Senior Center 6. Town Museum 7. Primary Care Facility 8. Book Exchange The Town will feature a diversity of housing types that has both attracted young adults into the Town and helped retain senior citizens. The variety of housing types has strengthened the Town's reputation as a desirable place to Jive and raise a family. The Town's high quality of life bas produced an influx of young residents that l1as increased enrollment at and strengthened the St. Johnsville~Oppenhein Ephratah School District. The Town's annual marketing and promotional program has been successful in "getting the word out" that the Town of Ephratah is a great place to live and do business. Even though tbe Town's population will have grown and gotten younger from an influx of younger families, the Town will have been very succes.sful in retaining its senior citizens through the

  • Freshwater Fishing: a Driver for Ecotourism
    New York FRESHWATER April 2019 FISHINGDigest Fishing: A Sport For Everyone NY Fishing 101 page 10 A Female's Guide to Fishing page 30 A summary of 2019–2020 regulations and useful information for New York anglers www.dec.ny.gov Message from the Governor Freshwater Fishing: A Driver for Ecotourism New York State is committed to increasing and supporting a wide array of ecotourism initiatives, including freshwater fishing. Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements.

The Empire State is unmatched in the quality and diversity of our fish species, and ranks fifth in the nation for total acreage of freshwater fishing locations. There are so many opportunities to get out and enjoy this important sport, and I have made it a priority to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to the State’s abundant fishing resources. That is why the NY is Open for Fishing and Hunting initiative has provided more than $4 million over the last three years to rehabilitate existing boat launches and construct new launches across the state. In addition, New York continues to make great progress toward our goal of establishing 50 new or improved land and water access sites. In 2016, we opened new universally accessible fishing piers and hand carry launches on the Esopus Creek in Ulster County and Looking Glass Pond in Schoharie County. We refurbished the Dunkirk Harbor Fishing Pier in Chautauqua County, which now provides access for users of all abilities to the outstanding fishing found in this area of Lake Erie. 2017 will see the opening of a brand new boat launch on Meacham Lake in Franklin County and updated facility on the northern end of Cayuga Lake.

  • Distribution of Ddt, Chlordane, and Total Pcb's in Bed Sediments in the Hudson River Basin
    NYES&E, Vol. 3, No. 1, Spring 1997 DISTRIBUTION OF DDT, CHLORDANE, AND TOTAL PCB'S IN BED SEDIMENTS IN THE HUDSON RIVER BASIN Patrick J. Phillips1, Karen Riva-Murray1, Hannah M. Hollister2, and Elizabeth A. Flanary1. 1U.S. Geological Survey, 425 Jordan Road, Troy NY 12180. 2Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Troy NY 12180. Abstract Data from streambed-sediment samples collected from 45 sites in the Hudson River Basin and analyzed for organochlorine compounds indicate that residues of DDT, chlordane, and PCB's can be detected even though use of these compounds has been banned for 10 or more years. Previous studies indicate that DDT and chlordane were widely used in a variety of land use settings in the basin, whereas PCB's were introduced into Hudson and Mohawk Rivers mostly as point discharges at a few locations. Detection limits for DDT and chlordane residues in this study were generally 1 µg/kg, and that for total PCB's was 50 µg/kg. Some form of DDT was detected in more than 60 percent of the samples, and some form of chlordane was found in about 30 percent; PCB's were found in about 33 percent of the samples. Median concentrations for p,p’- DDE (the DDT residue with the highest concentration) were highest in samples from sites representing urban areas (median concentration 5.3 µg/kg) and lower in samples from sites in large watersheds (1.25 µg/kg) and at sites in nonurban watersheds. (Urban watershed were defined as those with a population density of more than 60/km2; nonurban watersheds as those with a population density of less than 60/km2, and large watersheds as those encompassing more than 1,300 km2.
