III.B Regional Profiles: the Oneida County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee Was Divided Into 6 Regions for the Planning Update Process
Oneida County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 10/29/2013 4:43 PM Part IIIB: Regional Profiles III.B Regional Profiles: The Oneida County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee was divided into 6 Regions for the Planning Update process. These regions were developed to ease travel times for meetings and to foster existing relationships between municipalities. The Planning Regions are shown on the following map. III.B1: Information Collected for Each Municipality: a) Hazards: Each Region met 4 times between January and June of 2013 in order to collect data and share concerns about hazards and potential mitigation strategies. The initial meetings in January of 2013 were dedicated to identifying and profiling hazards of concern. A summary of the Hazards of Concern collected across the Regions is shown in the Table III.B.1 below. The Table is divided into two parts. In the upper portion, we are showing the Very High and High concern levels for both natural and other hazards as ranked by the Regions. Natural Hazards are shown in blue. In the lower portion of the Table, we are showing only the ranking for the Natural Hazards of Concern.

Freshwater Fishing: a Driver for Ecotourism
New York FRESHWATER April 2019 FISHINGDigest Fishing: A Sport For Everyone NY Fishing 101 page 10 A Female's Guide to Fishing page 30 A summary of 2019–2020 regulations and useful information for New York anglers www.dec.ny.gov Message from the Governor Freshwater Fishing: A Driver for Ecotourism New York State is committed to increasing and supporting a wide array of ecotourism initiatives, including freshwater fishing. Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements. -
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. -

Upper Mohawk River Coliform Bacteria Monitoring Project Report
New York State DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION Division of Water Upper Mohawk River Coliform Bacteria Monitoring Project Portions 12 and 13 in the Utica-Rome Area June 2012 - September 2012 November 2013 (Revised January 2014) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of coliform bacteria monitoring conducted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) from June through September 2012 in portions 12 and 13 of the Mohawk River (see Figure 2). Water sampling was conducted at two stations: Mohawk River in West Schuyler (Portion 12) and Mohawk River near Oriskany (Portion 13). Twenty-two samples per station were collected and analyzed for total and fecal coliform bacteria. Field parameters of dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, pH and temperature were also measured at each station during sampling. Portions 12 and 13 of the Mohawk River are listed in the Final 2012 Section 303(d) List, Part 1 - Individual Waterbody Segments with Impairment Requiring Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Development. Pollutants and water quality indicators listed in the Section 303(d) list include floatables (aesthetics), pathogens and dissolved oxygen/oxygen demand. Pollution sources contributing to impairment include Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs), and urban stormwater runoff. The goal of the project was to collect and test samples for coliform frequently enough to satisfy the requirements of New York State Water Quality Standards (at least five samples per month). NYSDEC uses coliform bacteria as an indicator of pathogens. The water quality standard for coliform is based on a minimum of five examinations within a calendar month for Class B and C waterbodies. -
Subwatershed Characterization
Chapter 3: Subwatershed Assessment 3.1 Objective of the Assessment The structure of watersheds is dendritic or tree-like with smaller streams joining progressively larger ones (see Map 2-5). Thus, the watershed as a whole can be divided into a series of nested “subwatersheds” as illustrated by the HUC-8 through HUC-12 notation. Effective management of water quality in the basin as a whole depends on recognizing this fundamental structure of the watershed, starting with smaller units and addressing restoration and protection efforts to progressively larger, more inclusive ones. The objective, therefore, is to assess water- quality issues at their source, and to set priorities for remediating degraded parts of the watershed and protecting those that are not degraded but may be in danger of becoming so without effective management. Recommendations for addressing the restoration and protections issues uncovered in this assessment are discussed in Chapter 4. 3.2 Assessment Criteria and Procedure To complete this assessment, each of the 12-digit HUC subwatersheds in the Mohawk River Watershed was evaluated using a set of quantitative indicators for three aspects of watershed health: water quality, land use, and habitat. The evaluation assigned a score of 1 to 5 for each of various quantitative indicators (metrics) of watershed health. The scores associated with these metrics of watershed health were combined to a final score; some were weighted for overall significance. The amalgamated scores can be used to help define priority areas (subwatersheds with the lowest overall scores), while preserving important information regarding the underlying causes for concern. Quantitative indicators and resulting scores for the three aspects of watershed health are described in this section. -
