Appendices Section
APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.

The Niagara River Greenway: Fulfilling the Promise
REPORT March 21, 2013 The Niagara River Greenway: Fulfilling the Promise Executive Summary According to the law and the settlement agreements that created it, the Niagara River Greenway was meant to be a linear system of parks, trails, and conservation areas linking Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Progress on the Greenway Greenway funds are being has been hampered by the fact that Greenway funds are spent on a variety of being spent on a wide variety of projects which, however projects with no relation worthy, bear little or no relation to a linear system of to parks and trails – in parks and trails. Only about one half of the projects part because the funded have advanced the Greenway as originally Greenway Plan defines envisioned. the Greenway much more broadly than it was defined in the law and One key reason for the diffusion of funds is that the settlement agreements that Greenway Plan defines the Greenway much more created it. broadly than the law does and allows for projects far from the River and projects unrelated to parks and trails. Another challenge is fragmented governance: the Niagara River Greenway Commission (NRGC) is charged with developing the Greenway, but funding decisions are made separately by four Standing Committees not tied to the NRGC. This fractured system has impeded the creation of an implementation strategy to develop the Greenway as a unified system rather than a miscellaneous collection of projects. To restore the original focus of the Greenway and ensure that it becomes a world-class destination: • The State should amend the law to clarify that Greenway funds may be used only for the creation, enhancement, and management of the linear system of parks, trails, and conservation areas; 1 • The NRGC should work with the Standing Committees, municipalities, and community groups to develop an implementation strategy for the linear system; and • The Standing Committees should tighten their funding criteria to prioritize development of the linear system in accordance with the implementation strategy.

Senator Maziarz: There Oughta Be a Law
Senator Maziarz: There Oughta Be A Law Years ago the Sunday comics published a cartoon series entitled “There Oughta Be A Law,” which a young boy named George may have enjoyed. When he grew up to be Senator George Maziarz and began to write legislation of his own, however, some of his efforts weren’t so funny. He wrote legislation that permitted the Niagara Falls School District to enter into agreement with the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) to take over historic buildings at DeVeaux Woods State Park. He did this in full knowledge that Niagara River Greenway plans were in formative stages and that school administrative offices at DeVeaux were outrageously inappropriate to such plans. Assemblywoman DelMonte cosponsored this legislation. Niagara Falls is not in Maziarz’s district. What private agenda was being served here? Chemical Waste Management (CWM) legislation: A Maziarz bill (#1) to protect the environment and future generations of citizens was promptly vetoed by the former administration, an outcome he may well have expected. For the next go-around he introduced new legislation (#2) favorable to CWM, and for six months refused to withdraw it in favor of #1 in spite of widespread public opposition. DelMonte did not cosponsor # 2. Currently, it appears both bills are still alive. We wonder what manipulations Maziarz has planned to achieve the passing of # 2 and why he wrote it in the first place. If he’s not protecting the environment to ensure public health, who gains from such legislation? Does the answer involve campaign contributions? Inquiring minds want to know.

SECTION II Inventory and Analysis
DRAFT - Town of Porter Local Waterfront Revitalization Program SECTION II Inventory and Analysis The Town of Porter has extensive areas of waterfront along Lake Ontario and the Niagara River. These shoreline areas are distinctly different. Most of the waterfront area, particularly along the lake, is well-established with residential uses. These areas have retained a rural character that is enhanced by their shoreline locations. With limited areas of public land, the Town desires to provide opportunities for public access to the greatest extent possible. The Town would also like to establish multi-use trails that would become part of the regional Niagara River Greenway system, allowing a connection with the adjoining Town of Lewiston and the City of Niagara Falls to the south and the Town of Wilson to the east. This local waterfront revitalization program is aimed at improving the quality of life in the waterfront area and taking advantage of existing assets along the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. The following provides an overview of the analysis of existing waterfront conditions and resources. 2.1 Summary of Issues and Opportunities in the Waterfront Revitalization Area 2.1.1 Findings . The Town of Porter waterfront possesses a quaint, rural character, making it an attractive place for residents and visitors alike. The waterfront is primarily residential in nature; there are no water-dependent uses and no waterfront commercial activity. Lake Road (State Route 18) and Lower River Road (State Route 18F) are both designated segments of the New York Great Lakes Seaway Trail, are State-designated Scenic By-Ways, and are designated as portions of the Historic Niagara Trail, validating the scenic and cultural importance of these shoreline thoroughfares.
