It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State of New York to conserve, improve and protect its natural resources and environment and to prevent, abate and control water, land and air pollution, in order to enhance the health, safety and welfare of the people of the state and their overall economic and social well-being.” - Environmental Conservation Law 1-0101(1) Preface It is the policy of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the Department) to manage state lands for multiple benefits to serve the people of New York State. This plan has been developed to address management activities on this unit for the next 10-year period. (Factors such as budget constraints, wood product markets, and forest health problems may necessitate deviations from the scheduled management activities.) The Unit Management Planning Process New York State’s management policy for public lands follows a multiple use concept established by New York’s Environmental Conservation Law. This allows for diverse enjoyment of state lands by the people of the state. Multiple use management addresses all demands placed on these lands, such as: watershed management, timber management, wildlife management, mineral resource management, rare plant and community protection, recreational use, taxes paid, and aesthetic appreciation. In this plan, an initial resource inventory and other information is provided, followed by an assessment of existing and anticipated uses and demands. This information is used to set goals and management objectives. Management actions tables provide an estimated cost and timetable for accomplishing these objectives. Strategic Plan for State Forest Management This unit management plan is designed to implement the Departments Statewide Strategic Plan for State Forest Management (SPSFM). Management actions are designed to meet local needs while supporting statewide and eco-regional goals and objectives. The SPSFM is the statewide master document and Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) that guides the careful management of natural and recreational resources on State Forests. The plan aligns future management with principles of landscape ecology, ecosystem management, multiple use management and the latest research and science available at this time. It provides a foundation for the development of Unit Management Plans. For more information on management planning, see SPSFM page 21 at http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/64567.html. - 1 - Preface Prepared by the Canisteo River Basin Unit Management Planning Team: NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Committee Members: Gretchen Cicora Senior Forester Linda Vera Citizen Participation Specialist Joel Fiske Supervising Forester Mark Gooding Regional Forester Mike Wasilco Regional Wildlife Manager Tad Norton Senior Forester Scott Smith Senior Wildlife Biologist Emily Bonk Senior Forester Anne Staples Forest Ranger TJ Carpenter Forest Ranger Peter Austerman Aquatic Biologist Linda Collart Mineral Resources Supervisor Mike Palermo Senior Wildlife Biologist Acknowledgments The Canisteo River Basin Unit Management Planning Team would like to gratefully acknowledge the efforts of all those who contributed to this plan.

  • Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018
    Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018 Prepared by Douglas L. Moyer and Joel D. Blomquist, U.S. Geological Survey, March 2, 2020 The Chesapeake Bay nontidal network (NTN) currently consists of 123 stations throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Stations are located near U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream-flow gages to permit estimates of nutrient and sediment loadings and trends in the amount of loadings delivered downstream. Routine samples are collected monthly, and 8 additional storm-event samples are also collected to obtain a total of 20 samples per year, representing a range of discharge and loading conditions (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2020). The Chesapeake Bay partnership uses results from this monitoring network to focus restoration strategies and track progress in restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Methods Changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from 123 NTN stations (Moyer and Langland, 2020). Constituent loads are calculated with at least 5 years of monitoring data, and trends are reported after at least 10 years of data collection. Additional information for each monitoring station is available through the USGS website “Water-Quality Loads and Trends at Nontidal Monitoring Stations in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed” (https://cbrim.er.usgs.gov/). This website provides State, Federal, and local partners as well as the general public ready access to a wide range of data for nutrient and sediment conditions across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this summary, results are reported for the 10-year period from 2009 through 2018.

  • 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.
