  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How's the Water? Hudson River Water Quality and Water Infrastructure
    HOW’S THE WATER? Hudson River Water Quality and Water Infrastructure The Hudson River Estuary is an engine of life for the coastal ecosystem, the source of drinking water for more than 100,000 people, home to the longest open water swim event in the world, and the central feature supporting the quality of life and $4.4 billion tourism economy for the region. This report focuses on one important aspect of protecting and improving Hudson River Estuary water quality – sewage-related contamination and water infrastructure. Untreated sewage puts drinking water and recreational users at risk. Water quality data presented here are based on analysis of more than 8,200 samples taken since 2008 from the Hudson River Estuary by Riverkeeper, CUNY Queens College, Columbia University’s Lamont- Doherty Earth Observatory; and from its tributaries by dozens of partner organizations and individual 21% community scientists. Water infrastructure information Hudson River Estuary samples presented here is based on data from the Department that failed to meet federal safe of Environmental Conservation and Environmental swimming guidelines Facilities Corporation, which administers State Revolving Funds. 44 Municipally owned wastewater While the Hudson River is safe for swimming at most treatment plants that locations on most days sampled, raw sewage overflows discharge to the Estuary and leaks from aging and failing infrastructure too often make waters unsafe. The Hudson’s tributaries $4.8 Billion – the smaller creeks and rivers that feed it – are often Investment needed in sources of contamination. wastewater infrastructure in the Hudson River Watershed To improve water quality, action is needed at the federal, state and local levels to increase and prioritize infrastructure investments.

  • Three Rivers of Yonkers a Curriculum for 4Th and 5Th Grades
    Three Rivers of Yonkers A Curriculum for 4th and 5th Grades Lesson plans, resources and maps: An interdisciplinary approach to urban environmental education in the classroom focusing on the Hudson River, Bronx River, and Saw Mill River. © Produced by: Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak in partnership with Yonkers Public Schools (2015) Introduction The “Three Rivers” curriculum was designed and developed in partnership between the Yonkers Public Schools (www.yonkerspublicschools.org) and the Sarah Lawrence Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) www.centerfortheurbanriver.org . The Three Rivers of Yonkers curriculum offers six interdisciplinary units of study that align with the New York State Common Core Learning Standards. This curriculum was created Tby a team of teachers from Yonkers Public Schools with support and guidance from the District’s administration, and staff from the former Beczak Environmental Education Center and the Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak. This new curriculum will help stimulate students’ interest in science at an early age and will encourage students to become stewards of the Hudson, Bronx, and Saw Mill Rivers. It is hoped that it will also motivate students to develop life-long habits of environmental citizenship. Of the six units, three are designed to be taught at the end of grade four and three at the beginning of grade five. Each unit is composed of four lessons connected to one another through an “essential question” that directs the themed investigation of the topic. Each lesson integrates English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies as well as the usage of technology and art.
