  • Interim Recreation Management Plan Santa Clara Conservation Easement Franklin County
    Interim Recreation Management Plan Santa Clara Conservation Easement Franklin County New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Lands & Forests Region 5 - Ray Brook June, 2000 SECTION I Introduction In June of 1999 the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) completed one of its largest acquisition projects ever. Known as the Northern Flow River Corridors Project, the State acquired interests in 140,000 acres of lands through fee title acquisition and conservation easements. The objectives of this project are to preserve open space character, enhance public use of four northern flow river corridors ( Deer, Grasse, Oswegatchie, and St. Regis) and to sustain working landscapes of adjacent timberlands. Approximately 30,000 acres of land were acquired in fee and 110,000 acres in conservation easement from The Conservation Fund of Arlington, Virginia. These lands were formerly owned by the Champion International Corporation. The lands acquired in fee became part of the Forest Preserve with the only interests retained by the grantor being reserved rights of way. For those lands encumbered by a conservation easement, the Department acquired public recreation rights and development rights. The grantor retained fee title ownership and the right to manage the lands for the production of forest products. The Conservation Fund subsequently sold fee ownership and timber rights to Heartwood Forest Fund III of Chapel Hill, NC. Taxes are apportioned between the Department and the fee owner based on the rights or degree of interest held in the property, expressed as a percentage (%). The purchase comprises three non-contiguous blocks of land identified as the Santa Clara Tract, the Tooley Pond Tract, and the Croghan Tract.

  • FINAL AVIAN RISK ASSESSMENT Project Icebreaker in Lake Erie
    FINAL AVIAN RISK ASSESSMENT Project Icebreaker in Lake Erie Cuyahoga County, Ohio Report Prepared for: Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (LEEDCo) October 2013 Report Prepared by: Paul Kerlinger, Ph.D., and John Guarnaccia Curry & Kerlinger, L.L.C. P.O. Box 453 Cape May Point, NJ 08212 (609) 884-2842, phone (609) 884-4569, fax [email protected] Project Icebreaker Executive Summary This report reexamines and updates potential risk to birds from the six-turbine Project Icebreaker, a demonstration wind-energy project proposed for the waters 11-16 kilometers (km) (7-10 miles) off of Cleveland, Ohio. Turbines would have an 87.5-meter (m) (287-foot) tubular steel tower on which a rotor of 120 m (394 feet) in diameter would be mounted. Rotors would sweep from a maximum height of 147.5 m (484 feet) to a minimum height of 27.5 m (90 feet) above the lake, making a rotor swept area of 11,310 m2. Each turbine would generate a nameplate capacity of 3.0 megawatts (MW). Lighting on turbines has not yet been determined, but this analysis is based on L-864, red-strobe obstruction lights mounted on nacelles, as generally required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for wind turbines. A docking platform would be constructed at the base of each turbine to allow maintenance crews to access the turbines. Potential avian risk from a demonstration wind farm in the waters off of Cleveland was considered previously in a document hereafter referred to as the 2008 risk assessment (Guarnaccia and Kerlinger 2008), which depended on research that had been conducted in Europe to date, where many of the same species as occurring in Lake Erie, or closely related species, were studied.
