Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This Blue Goose, Designed by J.N
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This blue goose, designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fi sh, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefi t of the American people. The Service manages the 97-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 548 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas. It also operates 69 national fi sh hatcheries and 81 ecological services fi eld stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally signifi cant fi sheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance Program which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fi shing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. Comprehensive Conservation Plans provide long term guidance for management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies needed to accomplish refuge purposes and identify the Service’s best estimate of future needs. These plans detail program planning levels that are sometimes substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, are primarily for Service strategic planning and program prioritization purposes. The plans do not constitute a commitment for staffi ng increases, operational and maintenance increases, or funding for future land acquisition.

Army Corps of Engineers Response Document Draft
3.0 ORANGE COUNTY Orange County has experienced numerous water resource problems along the main stem and the associated tributaries of the Moodna Creek and the Ramapo River that are typically affected by flooding during heavy rain events over the past several years including streambank erosion, agradation, sedimentation, deposition, blockages, environmental degradation, water quality and especially flooding. However, since October 2005, the flooding issues have severely increased and flooding continues during storm events that may or may not be considered significant. Areas affected as a result of creek flows are documented in the attached trip reports (Appendix D). Throughout the Orange County watershed, site visits confirmed opportunities to stabilize the eroding or threatened banks restore the riparian habitat while controlling sediment transport and improving water quality, and balance the flow regime. If the local municipalities choose to request Federal involvement, there are several options, depending on their budget, desired timeframe and intended results. The most viable options include a specifically authorized watershed study or program, or an emergency streambank protection project (Section 14 of the Continuing Authorities Program), or pursing a Continuing Authorities Program study for Flood Risk Management or Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration (Section 205 and Section 206 of the Continuing Authorities Program, respectively). Limited Federal involvement could also be provided in the form of the Planning Assistance to States or Support for Others programs provide assistance and limited funds outside of traditional Corps authorities. A watershed study focusing on restoration of the Moodna Creek, Otter Creek, Ramapo River and their associated tributaries could address various problems using a systematic approach. -

Taking the Next Step
Taking the Next Step: Hopewell Township Municipal Assessment March 2002 Stony Brook- Millstone Watershed Association Executive Summary The Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association (the Association) realizes that the protection and health of a watershed relies a great deal on the land use laws and policies that govern development. In the past, we have had requests from various municipalities for assistance with drafting ordinances, improving zoning and increasing local environmental quality. In addition to continuing to respond to these requests, the Association wanted to provide a more comprehensive analysis for local municipalities. Thus, we developed the Municipal Assessment Project to assist municipalities in developing additional proactive measures to ensure that natural resources are preserved and the necessary regulatory structure established. Hopewell Township was the first municipality that accepted our offer of assistance and partnered with us on this project. When beginning the assessment, members of the Hopewell Township Committee, Planning Board, Environmental Commission and Master Plan Committee articulated their goals and vision for the Township by answering our Framework Questions. After evaluating these responses we reviewed Hopewell Township’s land use ordinances, policies, best management practices, and the recently drafted Master Plan using a newly designed 15-page protocol. We also interviewed key personnel to complete the assessment. The results of the assessment protocol were then compared to the goals and vision of the Township, as articulated by its leaders. Gaps between that vision and what was “on the books” - the local zoning and ordinances– were identified in the following twelve areas: 1. Preservation of riparian corridors 2. Protection of surface and ground water 3.
