This plan provides policy and management guidance to the various departments within the Town of Glenville for the purposes of compliance with the General Permit (GP). The Stormwater Management Plan is based on the Federal Stormwater Phase II Rule, issued in 1999, which requires municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) owners and operators in U.S. Census defined urbanized areas to develop a Stormwater Management Program. There are six program elements designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. The program elements, titled Minimum Control Measures (MCMs), include: 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement/Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) 4. Construction Site Runoff Control 5. Post-construction Stormwater Management 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations Each MCM and the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that have been implemented to maintain compliance with the NYSDEC Stormwater GP are described in this plan. For each BMP, responsibilities to achieve and sustain compliance are clearly defined. Portions of the work necessary are provided through the collective efforts of several Town of Glenville Departments, especially the Department of Public Works/Highway, Building Department and Planning Department, along with cooperation in the Schenectady County Water Quality Coordinating Committee members. Stormwater management work is overall the responsibility of Town of Glenville’s designated Stormwater Management Officer. Certain components of this program have been codified into local law. Refer to the Town of Glenville’s Local Law Chapter 235, Storm Sewers for prohibition of illicit discharges, activities and connections to separate storm sewer systems. Refer to the Town of Glenville’s Local Law Chapter 270, Zoning, Article XI, Stormwater Management and Erosion Control. This Stormwater Management Program Plan should be reviewed on an annual basis and updated continuously to take into consideration the latest technologies and information to maintain compliance with the NYSDEC Stormwater General Permit. 1 Section 2: Regulatory Background Stormwater is water flow caused by precipitation (rain and/or snow melt) that flows across the land surface and runs into waterways, instead of being absorbed into the soil. In developed areas, roads, parking lots and buildings create impervious surfaces through which water cannot enter the soil, but instead runs off in greater volumes and speeds than it would otherwise. Stormwater runoff is often transported across cities and towns and discharged into local rivers and streams without treatment. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) established a stormwater management program that is intended to improve the Nation’s waterways by reducing the quantity of pollutants that stormwater picks up and carries into storm sewer systems during storm events. Common pollutants include oil and grease from roadways, pesticides from lawns, nutrients, sediment from construction sites, and carelessly discarded trash, such as cigarette butts, paper wrappers, and plastic bottles. When deposited in nearby waterways these pollutants can impair the waterways, discouraging recreational use of the resource, contaminating drinking water supplies and interfering with the habitat for fish, other aquatic organisms, and wildlife. In 1990, as required by the provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA), USEPA promulgated rules establishing Phase I of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program. The Phase I program for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) required operators of “medium” and “large” MS4s, those that generally serve populations of 100,000 or greater, to implement a stormwater management program as a means to control discharges of polluted stormwater from these MS4s. NPDES permitting authorities in each state could also designate additional regulated MS4s due to interconnections with neighboring medium and large MS4s. Phase II of the NPDES stormwater program was finalized in 1999. This second phase required permitting of point source discharges of stormwater from regulated small MS4s. A small MS4 was regulated if located wholly or partially in urbanized areas (UAs), with a residential population of at least 50,000 and an overall population density of at least 1,000 people per square mile, or as designated by the NPDESS permitting authority in each state. 2.1 Designation In New York State, the Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) is the delegated NPDES permitting authority and implements a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit (SPDES) Program. Pursuant to the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 17, Titles 7, 8 and Article 70, the NYSDEC issued a SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from MS4s, effective January 8, 2003. General Permit GP-02-02, authorized operators of small MS4s to discharge to Waters of the United States in accordance with the conditions and requirements of the permit. Regulated small MS4s were required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain general

  • 2016 Proposed Budget
    City of Albany 2016 Proposed Budget Kathy M. Sheehan, Mayor Ismat Alam, Budget Director CITY OF ALBANY OFFICE OF THE MAYOR 24 EAGLE STREET ALBANY, NEW YORK 12207 TELEPHONE (518) 434-5100 WWW.ALBANYNY.ORG KATHY SHEEHAN MAYOR Dear Common Council Members and Residents of the City of Albany: We are at a crossroads in our City where the future for private sector growth, new housing and public investment has never been brighter, but the fiscal sustainability of the very services that support this growth has never been at graver risk. Starting in 2007, consecutive City budgets included the use of Fund Balance (our “rainy day” fund) to balance the budget. This draining of our reserves occurred even with nearly $8 million in annual “spin up” revenue from the State. The most significant depletion of Fund Balance occurred in the prior administration’s 2014 budget, which did not include a “spin up” from the State. Primarily because of the resulting impact on the City’s reserves, the Office of the New York State Comptroller identified Albany as a City experiencing “Significant Fiscal Distress.” My administration’s first budget included significant cost savings measures and short-term relief from the State in the form of one-time revenue, but still required the use $2 million of Fund Balance to deliver a balanced budget. The State’s revenue relief resulted after the New York State Financial Restructuring Board (FRB) reviewed the City’s finances and recognized the gap between what it costs to provide city services and the revenue available to pay for those services.

  • Water Quality Featuring Brett Branco (BB) Hosted by Helen Cheng
    Episode 2: Water Quality Featuring Brett Branco (BB) Hosted by Helen Cheng (HC) Air Date: May 2017 Animals need it and people too; water, water everywhere. But is its quality that we are aware? Welcome to Jamaica Bay. -Music interlude- You’re listening to Jamaica Bay, a podcast series bringing you stories of the people that work, live, and play in Jamaica Bay, New York City. I’m your host, Helen Cheng. And I’m from the Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay and New York Sea Grant. -Music interlude- Beyond the skyscrapers and the masses of people, you might not realize it at first but New York City is more than just a booming metropolis. BB: “Well, New York City is an island. Manhattan obviously and Staten Island obviously, but even Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island. And we’re a coastal city so we’re intimately tied to the waters.” To learn about the New York City waters and Jamaica Bay waters, I sat down with BB: “Brett Branco, I’m a professor here at Brooklyn College, also hold a joint appointment at the CUNY Graduate Center. I’m also currently the director of the Urban Sustainability Program here at Brooklyn College.” Brett does research on shallow, coastal, and inland waters. A lot of his research looks at human impacts on estuaries and coasts especially in New York City bodies like Jamaica Bay. In particular, he’s looking at the water quality of Jamaica Bay. HC: “What is water quality and why is it important?” BB: “Yea, that’s sort of people’s favorite questions to me.

  • Wetlands of Saratoga County New York
    Acknowledgments THIS BOOKLET I S THE PRODUCT Of THE work of many individuals. Although it is based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), tlus booklet would not have been produced without the support and cooperation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Patrick Pergola served as project coordinator for the wetlands inventory and Dan Montella was project coordinator for the preparation of this booklet. Ralph Tiner coordi­ nated the effort for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Data compiled from the NWI serve as the foun­ dation for much of this report. Information on the wetland status for this area is the result of hard work by photointerpreters, mainly Irene Huber (University of Massachusetts) with assistance from D avid Foulis and Todd Nuerminger. Glenn Smith (FWS) provided quality control of the interpreted aerial photographs and draft maps and collected field data on wetland communities. Tim Post (N.Y. State D epartment of Environmental Conservation), John Swords (FWS), James Schaberl and Chris Martin (National Park Ser­ vice) assisted in the field and the review of draft maps. Among other FWS staff contributing to this effort were Kurt Snider, Greg Pipkin, Kevin Bon, Becky Stanley, and Matt Starr. The booklet was reviewed by several people including Kathleen Drake (EPA), G eorge H odgson (Saratoga County Environmental Management Council), John Hamilton (Soil and W ater Conserva­ tion District), Dan Spada (Adirondack Park Agency), Pat Riexinger (N.Y. State Department of Environ­ mental Conservation), Susan Essig (FWS), and Jen­ nifer Brady-Connor (Association of State Wetland Nlanagers).

  • Mohawk River Canoe Trip August 5, 2015
    Mohawk River Canoe Trip August 5, 2015 A short field guide by Kurt Hollocher The trip This is a short, 2-hour trip on the Mohawk River near Rexford Bridge. We will leave from the boat docks, just upstream (west) of the south end of the bridge. We will probably travel in a clockwise path, first paddling west toward Scotia, then across to the mouth of the Alplaus Kill. Then we’ll head east to see an abandoned lock for a branch of the Erie Canal, go under the Rexford Bridge and by remnants of the Erie Canal viaduct, to the Rexford cliffs. Then we cross again to the south bank, and paddle west back to the docks. Except during the two river crossings it is important to stay out of the navigation channel, marked with red and green buoys, and to watch out for boats. Depending on the winds, we may do the trip backwards. The river The Mohawk River drains an extensive area in east and central New York. Throughout most of its reach, it flows in a single, well-defined channel between uplands on either side. Here in the Rexford area, the same is true now, but it was not always so. Toward the end of the last Ice Age, about 25,000 years ago, ice covered most of New York State. As the ice retreated, a large valley glacier remained in the Hudson River Valley, connected to the main ice sheet a bit farther to the north, when most of western and central New York was clear of ice.

Barren Island is located in Jamaica Bay, between Sheepshead Bay and the Rockaway Peninsula. During this time period, the island, which had previously been mostly uninhabited, was the site of several “nuisance industries,” primarily garbage processing and animal rendering. Because the island was remote and often inaccessible, the workers, mostly new immigrants and African-Americans, were forced to live on the island, and very few others lived there. In many ways the islanders were neglected and ignored by city government and neighboring communities, except as targets of blame for the bad smells produced by the factories. In the absence of adequate municipal attention, islanders were forced to create their own community norms and take care of their own needs to a great extent.
