  • Canisteo Flood Damage Reduction Project
    CANISTEO FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION PROJECT Department of Environmental Conservation Operated and Maintained by: New York State Region 8 Counties: Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, Yates PROJECT LOCATION The Village of Canisteo, Steuben County, New York, is located along the south side of the Canisteo River, a tributary of the Susquehanna River which is 40 miles upstream from the City of Corning. Page 1 of 6 Canisteo Flood Damage Reduction Project PROJECT DESCRIPTION The local flood-protection works for Canisteo consist of a system of earth levees with appurtenant drainage structures plus three check dams. • The levees include a run of about 8,000 feet on the right bank of the Canisteo River, beginning at high ground about 1,600 feet southwest of New York State Route No. 36 on the northwest side of the Village. The levee crosses Route 36 and continues for about 100 feet where it turns in a southeasterly direction and extends parallel to the Canisteo River, for about 5,400 feet where it turns southwesterly and extends about 1,000 feet to its termination at Route 36 on the southeast side of the Village. • Also included are about 7,400 feet of levee on the left banks of Purdy and Bennett Creeks, beginning at the Route 36 bridge over Bennett Creek and extending upstream along the left bank of Bennett Creek to Purdy Creek, and then continuing upstream along the left bank of Purdy Creek crossing Greenwood Street (State Route 248), to terminate at high ground about 900 feet upstream of Greenwood Street.

  • Addison Flood Damage Reduction Project
    ADDISON FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION PROJECT Department of Environmental Conservation Operated and Maintained by: New York State Region 8 Counties: Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, Yates PROJECT LOCATION The project is located in the town of Addison, Steuben County, New York, on the Canisteo River at its confluence with Tuscarora Creek. Page 1 of 6 Addison Flood Damage Reduction Project PROJECT DESCRIPTION The local flood-protection works consists of the following features: • 3,100 feet of earth levee and approximately 730 feet of concrete floodwall on the right bank of the Canisteo River. • 2,200 feet of earth levee on the left bank of Tuscarora Creek. • 4,600 feet of earth levee on the right bank of Tuscarora Creek. • And appurtenant drainage structures. In general, the crown width of the levees is 8 feet and side slopes are 1 foot vertical to 2.5 feet horizontal. The average height of the levee along the Canisteo River is 11 feet, the average height of the levee along the right bank of Tuscarora Creek is 10 feet, and the average height along the left bank is 9 feet. A minimum freeboard of three feet above the design flow line has been provided. The levees are constructed of impervious material; and because of the short duration of flood stage, steady seepage is not expected to take place. A portion of the levee on the river side along the right bank of Canisteo River is protected by riprap to a depth of 2 feet; the remainder of the levee is surfaced with topsoil and seeded.

    Attachment 18 (Page 1 of 16) Most Effective Basins Funding Allocations Rationale December 2020 In the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Appropriations Conference Report, an increase to the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) Budget was provided in the amount of $6 million for “state-based implementation in the most effective basins.” This document describes the methodology EPA followed to establish the most effective use of these funds and the best locations for these practices to be implemented to make the greatest progress toward achieving water quality standards in the Chesapeake Bay. The most effective basins (MEBs) to reduce the effects of excess nutrient loading to the Bay were determined considering two factors: cost effectiveness and load effectiveness. Cost effectiveness was considered as a factor to assure these additional funds result in state-based implementation of practices that achieve the greatest benefit to water quality overall. It was evaluated by looking at what the jurisdictions have reported in their Phase III Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) as the focus of their upcoming efforts, and by looking at the average cost per pound of reduction for BMP implementation by sector. Past analyses of cost per pound of reduction have shown that reducing nitrogen is less costly by far than reducing phosphorus1. Based on that fact, EPA determined that the focus of this evaluation would be to target nitrogen reductions in the watershed. Evaluating the load reduction targets in all the jurisdictions’ Phase III WIPs shows that the agricultural sector is targeted for 86 percent of the overall reductions identified to meet the 2025 targets collectively set by the jurisdictions.

General William H. Graham, U.S. Commissioner Colonel Edward P. Chamberlayne, U.S. Alternate David J. Leach, U.S. Alternate Amy M. Guise, U.S. Alternate Andrew D. Dehoff, P.E., Executive Director The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (Commission) was created as an independent agency by a federal-interstate compact* among the states of Maryland and New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the federal government. In creating the Commission, the Congress and state legislatures formally recognized the water resources of the Susquehanna River Basin as a regional asset vested with local, state, and national interests for which all the parties share responsibility. As the single federal-interstate water resources agency with basin-wide authority, the Commission's goal is to coordinate the planning, conservation, management, utilization, development, and control of basin water resources among the public and private sectors. *Statutory Citations: Federal - Pub.
