at Beechwood State Park and offers recommendations on how to turn the park into a community focal point. The Park’s history as a Girl Scout camp has created strong connection with the local community and there is much interest in maintaining and enhancing this cultural connection. The recommendations focus on connecting people, especially youths, with the cultural history of the area and to the natural environment in which Beechwood exists. Development of a park Master Plan will be the most important objective for the town of Sodus. The recommendations contained within this proposal will help guide the town in writing this master plan. This proposal will also be useful for future park management as a reference source for information regarding the local community as well as the natural setting that the park is within. Important issues covered in this proposal: Financial limitations and opportunities Current conditions of buildings and infrastructure Volunteers Connections to local residents and businesses Recreation, interpretation and youth programs The natural environment Park management Within this plan there are recommendations on where to find funding for capital improvements, how to connect to local volunteers and businesses, trails in the natural environment, marketing and promotion, educational programs, park management and maintenance, and monitoring park progress. We hope you find the Beechwood State Park Assessment and Recommendations Report a useful tool for developing and maintaining a viable, self-sustaining park. 5 INTRODUCTION Beechwood State Park is located in the town of Sodus, NY, about 2 miles west of Sodus Point, about 2.5 miles north east of the village of Sodus, and along the southern edge of Lake Ontario. It covers approximately 250 acres and has about 1500 feet of shoreline. It is bounded by Maxwell Bay on its eastern edge and Lake Road on its

  • Cassadaga Wind Project Identification of Visually Sensitive Resources
    April 1, 2015 MUNICPAL PLANNING REPRESENTATIVES PER ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST RE: Cassadaga Wind Project Identification of Visually Sensitive Resources Dear MUNICIPAL PLANNING REPRESENTATIVE: As you may be aware, Cassadaga Wind, LLC is proposing to construct a 126 megawatt (MW) wind power project (“the Project”) in the Towns of Charlotte, Cherry Creek, Arkwright, and Stockton, in Chautauqua County, New York (Figure 1). The proposed Project is subject to the rules for siting a major electric generating facility under Article 10 of the New York State Public Service Law (“PSL”). In accordance with the Article 10 regulations, a Public Involvement Program “PIP” plan for this Project was released in January 2015 and is available on the Project’s website at http://everpower.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2015-01-05_PIP_FINAL.pdf. Please refer to the PIP for additional details regarding the proposed Project. A number of studies are now underway to assist in evaluating the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project in support of the Article 10 application. One such study is the Visual Impact Assessment (VIA), which will be included as Exhibit 24 of the Article 10 application. The VIA must include “identification of visually sensitive resources, viewshed mapping, confirmatory visual assessment fieldwork, visual simulations (photographic overlays), cumulative visual impact analysis, and proposed visual impact mitigation” pursuant to the requirements identified in Exhibit 24 of Article 10. The purpose of this letter is to help address the requirement that “the applicant shall confer with municipal planning representatives, DPS, DEC, OPRHP, and where appropriate, APA in its selection of important or representative viewpoints” (Article 10, Exhibit 24, Part 1001.24[b][4])1.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
