Ayes: Karen Feldman, Dr. Chad Dawson, John Ernst, Art Lussi, Bill Thomas, Dan Wilt, Lynne Mahoney, Brad Austin, Robert Stegemann Nays: None Abstentions: None Absent: None Preface The Grass River Unit Management Plan has been developed pursuant to, and is consistent with, relevant provisions of the New York State Constitution, the Environmental Conservation law (ECL), the Executive Law, the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan (“APSLMP”), Department of Environmental Conservation (“Department”) rules and regulations, Department policies and procedures and the State Environmental Quality and Review Act. The State land which is the subject of this Unit Management Plan (UMP) is Forest Preserve lands protected by Article XIV, Section 1 of the New York State Constitution. This Constitutional provision, which became effective on January 1, 1895 provides in relevant part: The lands of the state, now owned or hereafter acquired, constituting the Forest Preserve as now fixed by law, shall be forever kept as wild forest lands. They shall not be leased, sold or exchanged, or be taken by any corporation, public or private, or shall the timber thereon be sold, removed or destroyed. ECL §3-0301(1)(d) and 9-0105(1) provide the Department with jurisdiction to manage Forest Preserve lands, including the Grass River Unit. The APSLMP was initially adopted in 1972 by the Adirondack Park Agency (“APA”), with advice from and in consultation with the Department, pursuant to Executive Law '807, now recodified as Executive Law '816. The APSLMP provides the overall general framework for the development and management of State lands in the Adirondack Park, including those State lands which are the subject of this UMP. Specifically, the APSLMP states that: ..... the legislature has established a two-tiered structure regarding state lands in the Adirondack Park. The Agency is responsible for long range planning and the establishment of basic policy for state lands in the Park, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Conservation. Via the APSLMP, the Agency has the authority to establish general guidelines and criteria for the management of state lands, subject, of course, to the approval of the Governor. On the other hand, the Department of Environmental Conservation and other state agencies with respect to the more modest acreage of land under their jurisdictions, have responsibility for the administration and management Grass River Wild Forest – Unit Management Plan – January 2019 i Preface of these lands in compliance with the guidelines and criteria laid down by the APSLMP. The APSLMP places State land within the Adirondack Park into the following classifications: Wilderness, Primitive, Canoe, Wild Forest, Intensive Use, Historic, State Administrative, Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers, and Travel Corridors, and sets forth management guidelines for the lands falling within each major classification. The APSLMP classifies the lands which are the subject of this UMP as part of the Grass River Unit. The APSLMP sets forth Guidelines for such matters as: structures and improvements; ranger stations; the use of motor vehicles, motorized equipment and aircraft; roads, jeep trails and state truck trails; flora and fauna; recreation use and overuse; boundary structures and improvements and boundary markings. Executive Law §816 requires the Department to develop, in consultation with the APA, individual UMPs for each unit of land under the Department’s jurisdiction which is classified in one of the nine classifications set forth in the APSLMP. The UMPs must conform to the guidelines and criteria set forth in the APSLMP. Thus, UMPs implement and apply the APSLMPs general guidelines for particular areas of land within the Adirondack Park. Executive Law §816(1) provides in part that “until amended, the APSLMP for management of state lands and the individual management plans shall guide the development and management of state lands in the Adirondack Park.” Thus, the APSLMP and the UMPs have the force of law in guiding Department actions. This Plan also serves as a River Area Management Plan in accordance with the WSRRS Act (title 27 of Article 15 of the Environmental Conservation Law, and its implementing regulations found in Part 666. of Title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (6 NYCRR.) River area management plans are developed by the Department of Environmental Conservation for river areas designated as Wild, Scenic or Recreational to recommend specific actions to protect and enhance all river corridor resources.

From these results, a series of guidelines regarding pulpwood and tj-mber extraction ín the study area were developed. The Provincial Park Lands Act provides Parks Branch with the legislation to regulate harvesting of trees in Grass River Provincial Park according to these guidelines.

  • Northeast Parks
    Northeast Parks Grass River Provincial Park Introduction With an area of 2,279 km2, Grass River Provincial Park is characterized by rivers and lakes of the Grass River system, and the contact zone between the boreal forest and the Manitoba lowlands. Classified as a Natural Park, its purpose is to preserve areas that are representative of the Churchill River Upland portion of the Precambrian Boreal Forest Natural Region, and the Mid- Boreal portion of the Manitoba Lowlands Natural Region and accommodates a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses. The park will: Preserve woodland caribou habitat and the high water quality of the Grass River; Promote canoeing, camping and fishing opportunities, and permit related facilities and services; Promote public appreciation and education of the cultural and natural history of the Grass River; and Accommodate commercial resource uses such as forestry and mining, where such activities do not compromise the other park purposes. Loucks Falls The Land The southern portion of the park along PTH 39 is dominated by dolomite rock (light-coloured, sedimentary) of the Manitoba Lowlands, easily seen at rock cuts along the highway. Most of the park is underlain by the granitic rocks of the Precambrian Shield. This area is highly mineralized and attracted prospectors for gold, copper and other metals as early as 1913. The boundary between the two geological regions is not hard to find. The shoreline of a lake along PTH 39 is surrounded by dolomite, while the first island or opposite shore is likely to be made up of granites. The change in colour and texture is striking.
