  • Hoosicriver Shoreline Survey
    HOOSIC RIVER WATERSHED ASSOCIATION Shoreline Survey Report & Action Plan: Summer 2012 Report Compiled by Julieanne Fontana Edited by HooRWA Photo: View from Buskirk Bridge, July 2012 I. Introduction: Hoosic River Shoreline Surveys In the summer of 2012, the summer interns for the Hoosic River Watershed Association conducted Shoreline Surveys along the Hoosic River. The river was broken down into various sections based on characteristic changes in the stream and riparian habitat. The surveys identified human impacts on the river that require immediate attention for the health of the river. They also provide a documentation of other human impacts, like outflow and drainage pipes, and natural qualities for reference in the future. II. Priority Action for Immediate Attention The items mentioned here should be reviewed as soon as possible, as immediate change could make a difference to the health of the river. Other less urgent problems are mentioned in the full report summaries. Priority Action 1: Oily, red-brown seepage GPS Location: N42.71785 W73.18877 Oily orange-brown seepage was seeping out of the ground near outflow pipes just upstream of Cole Avenue bridge in Williamstown. The seepage did not seem directly related to the outflow pipes, but may be an affect of the nearby road or old mill building. {Checked with DEP – seepage is organic with iron oxide; Editor} Priority Action 2: Sewage odor outflow pipe GPS Location: N42.71973 W73.19049 Downstream of the Cole Avenue bridge about 100 yards, this outflow pipe was flagged as potentially unsafe. It had a sewer gas odor and the area where the outflow dumped into the stream was separated off, though not sealed from the rest of the river.

  • Transportation During and After Hurricane Sandy
    Transportation During and After Hurricane Sandy Sarah Kaufman, Carson Qing, Nolan Levenson and Melinda Hanson Rudin Center for Transportation NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service November 2012 1 Executive Summary Hurricane Sandy demonstrated the strengths and limits of the transportation infrastructure in New York City and the surrounding region. As a result of the timely and thorough preparations by New York City and the MTA, along with the actions of city residents and emergency workers to evacuate and adapt, the storm wrought far fewer casualties than might have occurred otherwise. The MTA and New York City Police Department, Departments of Transportation, Environmental Protection, and Sanitation worked quickly to pump water out of tunnels, repair infrastructure, enforce bus lanes, and clear debris. They also informed riders of service updates and the status of infrastructure, particularly with up-to-date maps, photos and videos provided by the MTA. The experience of Hurricane Sandy reinforced the importance of having multiple modes of transportation in the New York Region: subways, buses, bridges and tunnels, ferries as well as commuter rail systems in moving people in, through and out of the New York City and surrounding region. Hurricane Sandy also highlighted key investments and policies that should be considered to assure the viability of our infrastructure during future disasters: • Install backup power for subway pumps • Consider the use of porous pavement for streets in flood-prone areas • Locate building generators and fuel sources in flood prone areas on higher floors Hurricane Sandy and its impact on transportation also provided a timely message to all New Yorkers that public transportation is essential to the economic and social well being of the people who live, work and visit here.

  • Covered Bridges Tour 10/4/2009
    ORPCA COVERED BRIDGES TOUR 10/4/2009 Tour created by Bob and Kathleen Ellis Abiqua Creek (Gallon House) Covered Bridge Background: The Gallon House Bridge, the last of Marion County's original covered bridges, is located over Abiqua Creek a little more than a mile northwest of Silverton. The name Gallon House was due to the bridge's use as a "pigeon drop" for liquor at the north entrance. Operators at a liquor dispensary nearby sold "white lightening" whiskey by the gallon to Silverton residents. At the time, Silverton was "dry," not allowing liquor to be sold in town, while Mt. Angel was "wet." County: Marion The Gallon House along Abiqua Creek was in Mt. Angel territory. Stream: Abiqua Creek During the 1964 Christmas Flood, the bridge suffered considerable Bridge Length (ft): 84 damage. The County Board of Commissioners, however, decided the Year Built: 1917 bridge should be repaired and maintained as an historical landmark, as it was the only covered bridge in the county at the time. In 1985, the old wooden structure was closed to all traffic when a damaged chord rendered it useless. County road crews repaired the bridge to accept traffic up to a 10-ton limit by reinforcing a lower chord, as well as making repairs to the beams and flooring. Also included in the renovation was a change in the size and shape of the portals. The revamped portals were hinged to allow them to be opened for taller loads when necessary. In 1990, because of poor structural condition, the bridge was rehabilitated to mint condition and the hinged portals were removed.

  • Chapter 1 — Background and Planning Context
    Chapter 1 1 BACKGROUND AND PLANNING CONTEXT 1 Background and Planning Context The West of the Hudson Regional Transit Access Study (WHRTAS) has been initiated by MTA Metro- North Railroad (Metro-North) in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) and in cooperation with New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and New Jersey Transit (NJT) to improve mobility and accessibility in the West of Hudson region. Projected population and employment growth in Orange County, together with growth in ridership on Metro-North’s West of Hudson commuter service and a projected rise in Stewart International Airport (SWF) operations, necessitates the consideration of improved and expanded transit services for travelers in the region. WHRTAS evaluates alternatives for improving transit services between Central Orange County and Manhattan and access to SWF from the surrounding regions, Lower Hudson Valley and New York City. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the lead federal agency for this study which is being conducted in accordance with FTA’s Alternatives Analysis requirements for New Starts program funds. The study also considered the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Extensive agency coordination and public outreach was implemented to obtain input and guidance throughout this study. This included the formation of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which reviewed study material, advised on technical issues, and coordinated with a broad array of elected officials, agencies, organizations, and the general public through direct communication, workshops, roundtable discussions, and open houses. WHRTAS is being conducted in two phases. Phase I is the initial Alternatives Analysis (AA) phase, which evaluates the benefits, costs, and impacts of broad range of transit alternatives with the potential to meet the project's goals and objectives and concludes with the recommendation of a short list of alternatives.
