  • Potential Management Strategy 1A5: Review and Evaluate On
    Volume 2: Jamaica Bay Watershed Protection Plan CHAPTER NINE CATEGORY 7, STRATEGIES FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION INTRODUCTION hapters 3 through 8 describe priority categories, objectives and management strategies required Cin accordance with Local Law 71. In Chapter 9, a number of additional management and implementation strategies are discussed. These additional items are not required to meet requirements of Local Law 71. However, they are strategies that could be considered in the future as additional ways to improve Jamaica Bay. These strategies could be implemented over time pending the availability of additional funding and other resources. Categories 1 through 6 are discussed in detail in Chapters 3 through 8. Numbering for the strategies discussed below continues from the priority objectives and strategies discussed in Chapters 3 through 8. CATEGORY 1: WATER QUALITY Chapter 3, Category 1, Water Quality, describes water quality issues in the context of Jamaica Bay’s ecological health and proposes a number of management strategies planned to improve water quality within the Bay. In this chapter, additional proposed management strategies are discussed that could further improve water quality and could be implemented as funding and resources become available. Potential Management Strategy 1a5: Review and evaluate on- site sewage treatment decentralization technologies for potential application with the Jamaica Bay watershed. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION Proceed with a Pilot Program A number of compact, decentralized wastewater treatment technologies that have been used in rural areas of Europe may be suitable for use in the Jamaica Bay watershed. Using technologies to decentralize the treatment of wastewater and treat sewage at the source would help reduce nitrogen loadings into the sewer system.

    Jamaica Bay Watershed Protection Plan Volume II – The Plan New York City Department of Environmental Protection Emily Lloyd, Commissioner October 1, 2007 Volume 2: Jamaica Bay Watershed Protection Plan CHAPTER ONE WHAT IS WATERSHED PLANNING WATERSHED PLANNING AND JAMAICA BAY atershed planning recognizes the interconnection between land and water, that much of what Wwe do on a parcel of land makes its way to our waterways, bays, and ocean. It is complex because a watershed plan is not just a series of actions to be taken, but it is also a process. To be successful, it must involve the participation of people with different perspectives and priorities. It also requires ridding ourselves of age-old habits and creating a vision that motivates the community to change. The Jamaica Bay Watershed Protection Plan strives to create awareness of the issues facing the Bay; develop comprehensive planning strategies to benefit the Bay and its watershed; and serve as a template for the future. It is intended to serve as a vision for what strategies could be used, and describes necessary implementation steps for a process to accomplish the vision for a sustainable Jamaica Bay. Given the complexity of the issues facing Jamaica Bay, this Jamaica Bay Watershed Protection Plan does not provide solutions to all of the issues facing the Bay, but rather makes recommendations for certain actions and provides a guide for the next phase forward in this planning effort. Differing views on specific strategies and changes in priority or even approach are expected to occur as this is a living document that will need to be modified to adjust to the successes and new information and technologies that will undoubtedly arise over time, as well as ongoing dialogue.
