Statewide Map of Units and UMP Completion Schedule (PDF) The following chart lists all 80 State Forest units, their predominant TNC Ecoregion, DEC Region, office and acreage, organized by year of scheduled completion of the draft UMP and its submittal to Albany. UMPs have been scheduled to be completed and updated on a 10-year cycle. All areas of the state have been assigned to a unit. This will allow for future incorporation of new acquisitions or lands under different management classifications (example: Wildlife Management Areas) into predefined UMP areas without creating additional units. Although changes can be made, this configuration reflects regional input and will require only minor adjustments in the future. Each unit’s area was defined using a 6-tier hierarchy. Highest weight was given to TNC Ecoregion Code regional considerations. The second tier used St. Lawrence/Champlain Valley SL-CV current UMP configuration. The third tier Northern Appalachian/Acadian NAP conformed to regional boundaries. The Great Lakes GL fourth tier conformed to county boundaries. Western Allegheny Plateau WAP The fifth tier considered The Nature New York High Allegheny Plateau HAP Conservancy (TNC) Ecoregional boundaries. Lower New England/Northern Piedmont LNE-NP The final tier emphasized other geographic North Atlantic Coast NAC limitations.

  • Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I
    Intensive Level Survey Historic Resources – Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I 3.0 Historical Overview This section provides a narrative history of the City of Niagara Falls with specific emphasis on the Downtown neighborhood. The overview addresses significant trends and themes associated with the city’s historic context. The Downtown neighborhood’s period of significance is identified and examined in this chapter. Martin Wachadlo, architectural historian, conducted the background historic research. 3.1 Niagara County: Physiology and Geology Figure 3-1. Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, New York Niagara County borders the southern shore of Lake Ontario in the extreme northwestern corner of New York State, and occupies part of the Huron and Ontario Plains. The Ontario Plain comprises part of Lake Ontario to the foot of the Niagara Escarpment1, and the Huron plain extends from the crest of the escarpment southward beyond the county line. The Niagara Escarpment begins in Watertown, New York, USA and extends westerly along the Manitoulin Island in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The escarpment continues through Wisconsin and Illinois. With geological material measuring 64-ft thick, the stratigraphy at Niagara Falls provides a glimpse into the overall rock types comprising the Niagara Escarpment (Figure 3-1). The top layer is Lockport Dolomite, a hard rock referred to as the "Lower Silurian Group." Below the top layer is Rochester Shale, which is much softer and wears away easily with the effects of erosion. Under the shale are harder strata of limestone and dolostone known as the "Clinton Group." Below the harder strata is Grimsby sandstone.

  • Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority
    New York State Office of the State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli Division of State Government Accountability Capital Planning Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Report 2015-S-37 April 2016 2015-S-37 Executive Summary Purpose To determine whether the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) has complied with the capital planning requirements of the Public Authorities Law and whether its capital plans ensure the highest priority facility needs are adequately addressed. The audit scope period is January 1, 2012 through October 30, 2015. Background The NFTA is a multi-modal transportation authority responsible for air and public transportation in Erie and Niagara counties in New York State. NFTA businesses include a bus, light rail, and paratransit system and two international airports. NFTA records show it owns more than 3,700 capital assets costing approximately $1.6 billion. The Public Authorities Law requires NFTA to prepare a five-year capital plan, along with annual capital spending plans. NFTA’s fiscal 2015-16 capital spending plan totaled $68.7 million. Key Findings • During our audit period, NFTA prepared multi-year and annual capital spending plans as required by the Public Authorities Law. However, it could not demonstrate that these plans definitively addressed its highest priority capital needs. • Of NFTA’s 3,700 capital assets, 685 (19 percent) originally costing $184 million were not in a state of good repair, including: buses and light rail cars; light rail stations and bus shelters; NFTA’s radio and train control systems; its rail station escalators; and the light rail’s catenary system, which provides power for the trains through overhead wires.

The Niagara Frontier is one of the most historically significant areas in the United States. Few regions can claim as much impact on our early development as a nation: The Iroquois Confederacy; military fortresses and battlegrounds; the development of hydro-electric power; gateway for the mass movement of settlers and goods across the Great Lakes and Mid-West heartland of America; home to immigrants and refugees from all lands; and, the awesome natural wonder of Niagara Falls, are just a few of the unique heritage-treasures that should be known and appreciated by people of all ages. The Greater Niagara Frontier Council, Boy Scouts of America, established and maintains the “Niagara Frontier Trail” as an opportunity for families of Scouts, and non-Scouts alike, to discover the rich heritage of the Niagara Frontier. Through this program, the Council also has an incomparable opportunity to further its work in providing educational support to young people and fostering family unity. The Niagara Frontier Family Trail is a unique program, centered around a two-day experience that includes a 30 mile motor tour of many of the historical highlights of the area, with specific activities along the way and follow-up projects after-ward.
