  • Bacterial and Viral Source Tracking in the Pocantico and Sparkill Creek Watersheds
    NEW YORK STATE WATER RESOURCES INSTITUTE Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering 230 Riley-Robb Hall, Cornell University Tel: (607) 254-7163 Ithaca, NY 14853-5701 Fax: (607) 255-4449 http://wri.cals.cornell.edu Email: [email protected] Bacterial and Viral Source Tracking in the Pocantico and Sparkill Creek Watersheds Bernadette J. Connors, PhD Dominican College Science Department [email protected] Abstract In New York State, 792 waterbodies are on the “Impaired/TMDL” list, which identifies bodies of water that might require remediation. The Sparkill Creek, placed on the list first in 2010, empties into the Hudson River. It faces issues with stormwater runoff, causing elevated levels of pathogens in the creek and decreased oxygen availability. According to published data, the levels of the indicator bacteria are 24 times higher than EPA standards. The Pocantico River, located in Westchester County, faces many of these same issues. Both were tested for microbial and coliphage loads and diversity as related to weather events. Coliform and E. coli levels were measured, with a significant increase found with a rainfall event for both sampling locations. The coliphage numbers and diversity were also significantly different with a rain event. Microbial community analyses were also completed. Of note was increased prevalence of Enterobacter and Escherichia three miles from the mouth of the creek. Future studies include a more thorough analysis of the microbial community data in both time and space, along with further testing of the fungal, bacterial, and algal populations. Bacterial and Viral Source Tracking in the Pocantico and Sparkill Creek Watersheds Three Summary Points of Interest • Microbial community profiling yields a more comprehensive view of challenges faced by aquatic ecosystems.

  • Transportation Draft Report 4.26.21
    Town Comprehensive Plan Draft Chapter 8 Transportation CHAPTER 8 - TRANSPORTATION 8.1 Existing Traffic Conditions and Trends Bedford's transportation system is comprised of highways and streets, a commuter rail line, bus routes, and sidewalks. The town's rural, low-density and tri hamlet pattern favored the growth of auto-related transportation. Most of Bedford's residents drive to shop, to commute, for recreation. The Metro-North Harlem line represents the only alternative transportation mode being used to a significant degree primarily by residents commuting to New York City, and the majority of these commuters drive to the train stations. Limited bus east/west bus service is also available. The town is served by interstate and state highway supplemented by a well-developed network of local roads. Interstate 684, the Saw Mill River Parkway, and State Highways 22, 35, 117, 121, and 172 traverse the town. Interstate 684 and the Saw Mill River Parkway both cross through the town in a north-south direction. These highways, together with the Metro-North Railroad (Harlem Line), form the backbone of Bedford's transportation system. Existing Functional Classification The 1988 Bedford Master Plan organized the roadways into the following categories: Limited access highways, through roads, collector roads, and local roads. The purpose of organizing the roadway system according to these categories is to recognize that some roads have to carry higher volumes, more through traffic at higher speeds and other roads serve mainly to provide access to adjacent properties. Roads in Bedford cannot serve both purposes in a safe and efficient manner. Many of the traffic problems in Bedford can be related to conflicts in the functional role that each roadway has to fulfill: Through traffic using local or collector roads as a short cut represents such a conflict; similarly, traffic turning in and out of commercial driveways along a through road (such as Route 117) is in conflict with the arterial function of that road.
