Chapter 4: Recommendations and Implementation UPPER HUDSON RIVER WATERSHED REVITALIZATION PLAN 04. RECOMMENDATIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of the Upper Hudson River Watershed Revitalization Plan is to identify ways to improve the overall conditions of the watershed based on six priority issues: stormwater, agriculture, erosion, invasive species, water and wastewater and aquatic organism passage. Representatives throughout the watershed provided priority projects based on the six priority issues identified in this Plan. The Advisory Committee met to prioritize the projects by issue, first within their respective counties and then at the watershed level. This Plan identifies a total of 190 projects, totaling more than $300,000,000 in funding needs that lead to water quality improvements throughout the Upper Hudson River Watershed. Each identified project aims to achieve one of the eight overarching goals of this Plan. Measures taken to achieve these goals will not only improve the environmental health and vitality of the watershed but will also improve the economic health and vitality of the communities within the watershed that rely on natural resources for their way of life. As set forth previously in this document, the goals of the Plan are to: • Identify threats to water quality resources that potentially adversely impact the natural and economic vitality of the region, • Promote positive and effective planning for implementation of water quality improvement projects, • Assist private agricultural practices and promote the creation of management plans and implementation of best management practices, • Protect and upgrade municipal infrastructure while sensibly reducing impacts of regular municipal maintenance efforts on water resources, • Work with private forest landowners to promote land management plans and best management practices, • Increase preventative measures, detection, management, and outreach and education for aquatic and terrestrial invasive species, • Identify demographic information for outreach programs, and • Establish a proactive partnership between local, county, state, and federal partners. 4.1 IMPLEMENTATION Each project is assigned an implementation timeframe of short term (1-2 years), medium term (3-5 years) or long term (6 or more years). Implementation of priority and short-term projects should begin first, followed by medium-term and long-term projects, as appropriate. In addition to time frame, each project lists potential funding sources and parties who will be involved in the project’s implementation. Projects are listed in the following chart and are organized by priority issue. Priority projects are listed first, followed by short-term, medium-term and long-term projects listed in no order of priority. 4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS Throughout the planning process, projects were collected from Soil and Water Conservation District staff, municipal officials and employees and lake associations. In total, 190 projects were identified with over $300,000,000 in water quality improvement funding needs. The full list of projects is shown in the project charts in Section 4.4 of this chapter. RECOMMENDATIONS | 81 UPPER HUDSON RIVER WATERSHED REVITALIZATION PLAN 4.3 PRIORITY PROJECT MAPS Once all of the recommended projects for this Plan were collected and compiled, the Advisory Committee met to identify priority projects. Each priority issue has its own priority projects that were decided on based on the Advisory Committee’s personal and professional knowledge of their service areas. Project time frame, projected costs and potential funding opportunities were also taken into account for prioritization. Priority projects were mapped by the HUC-10 subwatershed where they are located (Maps 21 - 26). These maps provide a visualization of the subwatersheds in which the priority issues are most prevalent and should be prioritized for funding. Stormwater: Three of the seven priority stormwater projects are located within the Snook Kill – Hudson River HUC-10 subwatershed and two are within the Anthony Kill – Hudson River HUC-10 subwatershed, indicating that stormwater issues are more prevalent in the southern reach of the Upper Hudson River Watershed (Map 21). Agriculture: Of the 17 total Agriculture projects that were identified for this Plan, three are considered priority. All three are clustered in the southern portion of the Upper Hudson Watershed with project overlap in the Snook Kill – Hudson River and Anthony Kill – Hudson River HUC-10 subwatersheds and the Walloomsac River HUC- 10 subwatershed (Map 22). Erosion: The issue of erosion is prevalent throughout the Upper Hudson River Watershed and priority issues are distributed from the most southern subwatershed to the most northern subwatershed. Of the seven priority erosion projects identified, three are located in the Middle Sacandaga River HUC-10 subwatershed. While erosion is an issue throughout the entire watershed, the Middle Sacandaga River HUC-10 subwatershed should be focused on for project implementation (Map 23). Invasive Species: Invasive species are an increasing issue throughout the Upper Hudson River Watershed and priority projects are distributed evenly throughout the HUC-10 subwatersheds (Map 24). Water and Wastewater: Water and Wastewater projects have high project costs and can be directly tied to water quality impairments. Priority projects are located in HUC-10 subwatersheds throughout the Upper Hudson River Watershed (Map 25). Aquatic Organism Passage: Aquatic organism passage is an issue throughout the Upper Hudson River Watershed with many of the barriers to passage tied to infrastructure such as culverts and dams. Seven priority projects are identified in this Plan, with two located in the Anthony Kill – Hudson River HUC-10 subwatershed Map( 26). 82 | RECOMMENDATIONS UPPER HUDSON RIVER WATERSHED REVITALIZATION PLAN Headwaters Hudson River Upper Schroon River Cedar River- Boreas Hudson River River- Hudson River Lower Schroon Jessup River River East Branch Sacandaga Upper River Sacandaga River Stony Creek- Hudson River East Stony West Branch Creek Sacandaga River Lower Sacandaga River Black Creek Snook Kill- West Stony Hudson River Creek Middle Sacandaga Headwaters River Batten Kill Batten Kill Fish Creek Owl Kill Anthony Kill-Hudson River Walloomsac River Lower Hoosic River Middle Hoosic River Copyright:© 2014 Esri Map 21 - Stormwater Priority Projects S-03 by HUC-10 subwatersheds S-01 Source: Ü Subwatersheds: USDA Geospatial S-01 Data Gateway; Upper Hudson River Watershed Boundary: NYSDEC; S-04, S-05, S-06 Watershed Coalition Basemap: ESRI; Adirondack Park Boundary: APA; S-07 Administrative Boundaries: NYSITSGPO Hudson River This map was prepared with funding Upper Hudson River provided by the New York State Adirondack Park Boundary Watershed Department of State under Title 11 of 0 5 10 the Environmental Protect Fund.

  • Distribution of Ddt, Chlordane, and Total Pcb's in Bed Sediments in the Hudson River Basin
    NYES&E, Vol. 3, No. 1, Spring 1997 DISTRIBUTION OF DDT, CHLORDANE, AND TOTAL PCB'S IN BED SEDIMENTS IN THE HUDSON RIVER BASIN Patrick J. Phillips1, Karen Riva-Murray1, Hannah M. Hollister2, and Elizabeth A. Flanary1. 1U.S. Geological Survey, 425 Jordan Road, Troy NY 12180. 2Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Troy NY 12180. Abstract Data from streambed-sediment samples collected from 45 sites in the Hudson River Basin and analyzed for organochlorine compounds indicate that residues of DDT, chlordane, and PCB's can be detected even though use of these compounds has been banned for 10 or more years. Previous studies indicate that DDT and chlordane were widely used in a variety of land use settings in the basin, whereas PCB's were introduced into Hudson and Mohawk Rivers mostly as point discharges at a few locations. Detection limits for DDT and chlordane residues in this study were generally 1 µg/kg, and that for total PCB's was 50 µg/kg. Some form of DDT was detected in more than 60 percent of the samples, and some form of chlordane was found in about 30 percent; PCB's were found in about 33 percent of the samples. Median concentrations for p,p’- DDE (the DDT residue with the highest concentration) were highest in samples from sites representing urban areas (median concentration 5.3 µg/kg) and lower in samples from sites in large watersheds (1.25 µg/kg) and at sites in nonurban watersheds. (Urban watershed were defined as those with a population density of more than 60/km2; nonurban watersheds as those with a population density of less than 60/km2, and large watersheds as those encompassing more than 1,300 km2.

  • Freeze-Up Ice Jams
    ICE JAM REFERENCE AND TROUBLE SPOTS Ice Jam Reference Ice jams cause localized flooding and can quickly cause serious problems in the NWS Albany Hydrologic Service Area (HSA). Rapid rises behind the jams can lead to temporary lakes and flooding of homes and roads along rivers. A sudden release of a jam can lead to flash flooding below with the addition of large pieces of ice in the wall of water which will damage or destroy most things in its path. Ice jams are of two forms: Freeze up and Break up. Freeze up jams usually occur early to mid winter during extremely cold weather. Break up jams usually occur mid to late winter with thaws. NWS Albany Freeze Up Jam Criteria: Three Consecutive Days with daily average temperatures <= 0°F NWS Albany Break Up Jam Criteria: 1) Ice around 1 foot thick or more? And 2) Daily Average Temperature forecast to be >= 42°F or more? Daily Average Temperature = (Tmax+Tmin)/2 Rainfall/snowmelt with a thaw will enhance the potential for break up jams as rising water helps to lift and break up the ice. A very short thaw with little or no rain/snowmelt may not be enough to break up thick ice. ** River forecasts found at: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=aly will not take into account the effect of ice. ** Ice jams usually form in preferred locations in the NWS Albany HSA. See the “Ice Jam Trouble Spots” below for a list of locations where ice jams frequently occur. Ice Jam Trouble Spots **This is not an all inclusive list, but rather a list of locations where ice jams have been reported in the past.
