  • Risk Assessment: Asset Identification & Characterization
    This Working Draft Submittal is a preliminary draft document and is not to be used as the basis for final design, construction or remedial action, or as a basis for major capital decisions. Please be advised that this document and associated deliverables have not undergone internal reviews by URS. SECTION 3b - RISK ASSESSMENT: ASSET IDENTIFICATION & CHARACTERIZATION SECTION 3b - RISK ASSESSMENT: IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ASSETS Overview An inventory of geo-referenced assets in Rensselaer County has been created in order to identify and characterize property and persons potentially at risk from the identified hazards. Understanding the type and number of hazards that exist in relation to known hazard areas is an important step in the process of formulating the risk assessment and quantifying the vulnerability of the municipalities that make up Rensselaer County. For this plan, six key categories of assets have been mapped and analyzed using GIS data provided by Rensselaer County, with some additional data drawn from other public sources: 1. Improved property: This category includes all developed properties according to parcel data provided by Rensselaer County and equalization rates from the New York State Office of Real Property Services. Impacts to improved properties are presented as a percentage of each community’s total value of improvements that may be exposed to the identified hazards. 2. Emergency facilities: This category covers all facilities dedicated to the management and response of emergency or disaster situations, and includes emergency operations centers (EOCs), fire stations, police stations, ambulance stations, shelters, and hospitals. Impacts to these assets are presented by tabulating the number of each type of facility present in areas that may be exposed to the identified hazards.

  • New York Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide: 2015-16
    NEW YORK Freshwater FISHING2015–16 OFFICIAL REGULATIONS GUIDE VOLUME 7, ISSUE NO. 1, APRIL 2015 Fishing for Muskie www.dec.ny.gov Most regulations are in effect April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR New York: A State of Angling Opportunity When it comes to freshwater fishing, no state in the nation can compare to New York. Our Great Lakes consistently deliver outstanding fishing for salmon and steelhead and it doesn’t stop there. In fact, New York is home to four of the Bassmaster’s top 50 bass lakes, drawing anglers from around the globe to come and experience great smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. The crystal clear lakes and streams of the Adirondack and Catskill parks make New York home to the very best fly fishing east of the Rockies. Add abundant walleye, panfish, trout and trophy muskellunge and northern pike to the mix, and New York is clearly a state of angling opportunity. Fishing is a wonderful way to reconnect with the outdoors. Here in New York, we are working hard to make the sport more accessible and affordable to all. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $6 million, renovating existing boat launches and developing new ones across the state. This is in addition to the 50 new projects begun in 2014 that will make it easier for all outdoors enthusiasts to access the woods and waters of New York. Our 12 DEC fish hatcheries produce 900,000 pounds of fish each year to increase fish populations and expand and improve angling opportunities.

Schuyler 1 Archeological Investigations in the Vicinity of "Fort Crailo" During Sewer Line Construction Under Riverside Avenue in Rensselaer, New York Paul R. Huey, Lois M. Feister and Joseph E. McEvoy 19 Archaeology, Education and the Indian Castle Church Wayne Lenig 42 New York State Archaeological Association-Minutes of the 60th Annual Meeting 52 No. 69, March 1977 1 ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE NEW YORK METROPOLIS Robert L. Schuyler City College, CUNY Introduction Almost ten thousand years of human prehistory are buried in the shores, peninsulas, and islands on which New York City and its satellite communities stand today.1 Between 14,000 B. C. and 10, 000 B. C. the final retreat of the Wisconsin ice sheet modified and opened the harbor area. Human population was then able to enter the estuary and lower valley of the Hudson by following two natural migration corridors. Movement east and west was possible along the coastal plain, while access to the interior followed the river and its valley that ran over 200 miles to the north. Once Man entered the region he settled in. Bands of Paleo-Indian hunter-gatherers and their archaic descendants found an area rich in natural resources. A complex interfacing of salt and fresh water provided marine, estuarine, and riparian sources of food. On land an even broader transition between three major physiographic provinces-New England Upland (Manhattan and Westchester County), New Jersey Lowland, and Atlantic Coastal Plain (Staten Island and Long Island)-greatly enriched the range and variety of available fauna and flora.
