  • 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.

  • 2. Community Profile
    2. Community Profile 2.1 Town Location The Town of Warwick is located about fifty miles northwest of New York City in the middle to southern part of Orange County, nearly to the New Jersey border. The Town encompasses approximately 116 square miles and is the largest Town in Orange County, and among the largest in New York State. The Towns of Minisink, Goshen, Chester, Monroe, and Tuxedo encircle the north, east, and west borders of the Town, while the New Jersey Counties of Sussex and Passaic are along the southern boundary. New York State Route 17&6 provides easy east-west access from New York Thruway at the Town of Harriman. Route 17 winds itself up past Sullivan County and Route 13 travel south to it meets Route 94 and passes into New Jersey. The New York State Thruway allows easy access to and from Albany and New York City. 2.2 Town History The Town of Warwick, as much of the Hudson Valley region, has a long and eventful history. The following historical narrative is taken from a Town history on the Warwick website. From the earliest colonial times, the land that came to be the Town of Warwick housed a well- traveled route. The King’s Highway came up the valley from Pennsylvania and New Jersey and led northeastward to the settlements along the Hudson River and further to New England. Two rail lines, the Warwick Valley Railroad (1860) and the Lehigh and Hudson River Railway, came to eventually follow the same general route. Offices and merchants in the village of Warwick encouraged the growth of that community as a business center, while Wisner and Lake were established as station stops on the railroad.

INTRODUCTION, PURPOSE AND SUMMARY A. INTRODUCTION Warwick is a large and diverse town located just 55 miles from Manhattan. It is the largest town, in land area, in Orange County and one of the largest in the Hudson Valley. It includes the villages of Warwick, Florida and Greenwood Lake as well as the hamlets of Sterling Forest, Amity, Pine Island, Edenville, Bellvale and New Milford. The Town has a distinctly rural character with rolling hills and farmland dotted with barns and historic farmhouses. Its landscape is characterized by diversity, ranging from rugged mountains in the east to the flat, black dirt farmland in the west. Many of Warwick’s older communities remain separated by large tracts of undeveloped open space or farmland, creating the typical rhythm of a rural landscape. Pine Island and Florida's fertile “black dirt” land produces 25 percent of the nation's onion crop as well as organic vegetables, sod, and flower crops. This rich farmland, formed 12,000 years ago by a glacial lake, was cleared by hand in the 1880's by Polish and German immigrants and is farmed today by many of their descendants.

  • Deglaciation in the Southeastern Laurentide Sector and the Hudson
    NYSGA 2009 Trip 4 - Peteet, Rayburn, Menking, Robinson and Stone Trip 4 - Peteet, Rayburn, Menking, Robinson and Stone Deglaciation in the Southeastern Laurentide Sector and the Hudson Valley – 15,000 Years of Vegetational and Climate History Dorothy Peteet1, John Rayburn2, Kirsten Menking3, Guy Robinson4 and Byron Stone5 1NASA/GISS and Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Palisades, NY 10964 2SUNY New Paltz, New Paltz, New York 12561 3Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York 12604 4Fordham College, Fordham, New York 10458 5United States Geological Survey, Connecticut 06340 Introduction In this field trip, we provide a review of the significant controversy concerning the timing of deglaciation in the Hudson and Wallkill Valleys. We outline the differences in methodology and chronology with a circular route throughout the Hudson and Wallkill valleys. We begin the trip at Lake Mohonk near New Paltz led by Kirsten Men- king and Dorothy Peteet, then continue to the “black dirt” region of the Wallkill Valley where John Rayburn has contributed a new GIS model of deglaciation in the Wallkill Valley and Guy Robinson will review the history of fossil mammals, including mammoths. From this point we travel southeast to a rare exposure of glaciolacustrine beds on the west side of the Huson River, described by Byron Stone and John Rayburn, and on to Croton Marsh at Croton Point, New York where Dorothy Peteet will review the marsh histories of the region. A recent review of literature relating to the last glacial recession in the Hudson Valley indicates that the timing of de- glaciation is very controversial (Peteet et al., 2006; Peteet, in review; Balco et al., 2006; Balco et al., 2009; Schaefer, 2007).
