BIVER BASIN, 1922 AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting records of measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during the year ending September 30, 1922. The data presented in these reports were collected by the United States Geological Survey under the following authority contained in the organic law (20 Stat. L.', p. 394): Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of the Geo­ logical Survey and the classification of public lands and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain. The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies relating to irrigation in the arid West. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, successive sundry civil bills passed by Congress have carried the following item and appropriations: For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources, Annual appropriations for the fiscal years ending June 80, 1895-1928 1895._______________________________ $12, 500. 00 1896..____________________________ 20, 000. 00 1897 to 1900, inclusive___ ____________ ___ 50,000. 00 1901 to 1902, inclusive- ____________ ______ 100, 000. 00 1903 to 1906, inclusive-_______________ ___ 200, 000. 00 1907-.__________________________ 150,000.00 1908 to 1910, inclusive.._________________ 100,000.00 1911 to 1917, inclusive..________________ 150,000.00 1918-.________^______________________ 175, 000. 00 1919-__________________-_________________ 148,244.10 1920.___1___________________________________ 175, 000. 00 1921 to 1923, inclusive_____________________ 180, 000. 00 In the execution of the work many private and State organizations have cooperated, either by furnishing data or by assisting in collect­ ing data.

  • A Comparison of Environments
    8-1 Trip B A COMPARISON OF ENVIRONMENTS by Thomas X. Grasso, Chairman Department of Geosciences Monroe Community College The Middle Devonian Hamilton Group ~ the Genesee Valley The Devonian System of New York State varies from carbonates at the bottom (Helderbergian and Ulsterian Sex'ies) to coarse con- tinental clastics at the top ("Chautauquan Series) and represents a westward migrating deltaic complex built during Middle and Late Devonian time, (Rickard, 1964). This deltaic complex, the Catskill Delta, is today represented by a wedge of sedimentary rock that thickens and coarsens eastward toward the Hudson River. These rocks are highly fossiliferous and structurally simple, thereby, lending themselves to detailed faunal, stratigraphic and paleoecologic studies. Since the Middle and Upper Devonian of New York represents a deltaic complex, at any instant in time during the Devonian there existed a series of transitional environments aligned approximately parallel to the old shoreline from west to east or offshore deep water to onshore shallow water. These contemporaneous environments are not only transitional with one another laterally, but they also succeed each other vertically since the delta prograded westward across New York State. Each environment is today characterized by its own distinctive rock type and fossil assemblage. For example, B-2 the fine shale deposits of the Middle Devonian in the west (Lake Erie) gradually coarsen to siltstones and sandstones eastward (Catskills). The fine shales of the Middle Devonian on Lake Erie are in turn succeeded by the ~oarser siltstones and sandstones of the Upper Devonian. The purpose of this field trip will be to sample and contraet several offshore Devonian biotopes representing two major environ­ ments; a poorly oxygenated phase of dark shales ("Cleveland" facies), and an oxygenated environment of soft calcareous blue-gray shales and limestones ("Moscow" facies).

  • Federal Fiscal Year 2017 (October 1, 2016 Through September 30, 2017)
    GENESEE TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL Annual Listing of Federally Obligated Projects for Federal Fiscal Year 2017 (October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017) Purpose Federal regulations require an “Annual Listing” of transportation projects, including investments in pedestrian walkways and bicycle facilities, for which federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year be made available for public review by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The listing must be consistent with the funding categories identified in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). In order to meet this requirement, Genesee Transportation Council (GTC) staff solicited information from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGRTA), and compiled a list of projects located in the seven-county NYSDOT-Region 4 area for which federal transportation funds were obligated in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2017 (i.e., between October 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017). An obligation is the U.S. Department of Transportation's legal commitment to pay the federal share of a project's cost. Projects for which funds have been obligated are not necessarily initiated or completed in a given program year, and the amount of the obligation in a single year will not necessarily equal the total cost of the project. Background The U.S. Department of Transportation requires every metropolitan area with a population over 50,000 to have a designated MPO to qualify for receipt of federal highway and public transportation funds. The Governor of New York State designated GTC as the MPO responsible for transportation planning in the nine-county Genesee-Finger Lakes region, which includes Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates counties.

  • Field Studies of the Middle Devonian Ludlowville-Moscow Sequence in the Genesee and Seneca Valleys, New York State
    FIELD STUDIES OF THE MIDDLE DEVONIAN LUDLOWVILLE-MOSCOW SEQUENCE IN THE GENESEE AND SENECA VALLEYS, NEW YORK STATE STEPHEN M. MAYER Department of Geology SUNY College at Fredonia Fredonia, NY 14063 INTRODUCTION Numerous authors have studied and described in detail the unique depositional environments and the excellent fossil preservation found in the Middle Devonian Hamilton Group sediments of New York State (Grabau, 1899; Cooper, 1930; Grasso, 1973; Brett and others, 1986; Savarese and others, 1986). The advancement of high resolution stratigraphic mapping has permitted detailed correlations of facies divisions in the uppermost Ludlowville Formation across western and central New York (Mayer, 1989; Mayer and others, 1994). The focus of this field trip is to examine the spatial and temporal sedimentary relationships as well as the abundant and well preserved fossils in the Upper Ludlowville-Lower Moscow Formations of the Hamilton Group; in particular, the uppermost Wanakah Shale, Jaycox Shale and Tichenor Limestone Members in the Genesee and Seneca Valleys (Figure 1).

Modified from Baird (1979). GEOLOGIC SETTING The sediments of the Hamilton Group were deposited as part of the prograding Catskill Delta Complex at the northern margin of the Appalachian Basin in North America. Reconstruction of North American paleolatitudes, based on paleomagnetic studies, have placed the continental landmass across the paleoequator with the Hamilton deposition 491 o occurring at approximately 0-30- S latitude (Oliver, 1976; Ettensohn, 1985; Van der Voo, 1988).

  • The First Great Devonian Flooding Episodes In
    THE FIRST GREAT DEVONIAN FLOODING EPISODES IN WESTERN NEW YORK: REEXAMINATION OF UNION SPRINGS, OATKA CREEK, AND SKANEATELES FORMATION SUCCESSIONS (LA TEST EIFELIAN- LOWER GIVETIAN) IN THE BUFFALO-SENECA LAKE REGION Baird, G.C., Department of Geosciences, State University of New York College at Fredonia, Fredonia, New York 14063; Brett, C.E., Department of Geology, University of Cincinnati, 500 Geology/Physics Building, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221; Ver Straeten, C., Department of Geology, University ofWisconsin: Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54901 INTRODUCTION The lower (sub-Ludlowville Formation) part of the Hamilton Group in western New York has received little attention by geologists owing to poor exposure and to the perception that it is composed essentially of drab, unfossiliferous deposits. Reexamination of numerous sections and several subsurface cores of Onondaga Group and lower Hamilton Group strata by Brett and Ver Straeten (1994) and Ver Straeten et al. ( 1994) has led to significant revisions of published correlational schemes (Rickard, 197 5, 1984). In particular, the old formational division of the lower Hamilton Group (Marcellus Formation) has been elevated to subgroup status and is now understood to include two formational entities (Ver Straeten et al., 1994); the Union Springs Formation (Bakoven Member-Hurley Member-succession) comprises the lower part of the Marcellus subgroup and the Oatka Creek Formation (Cherry Valley Member through Chittenango Member-succession) represents the upper part (Fig. 1). The above terminology of Ver Straeten et al. (1994) is employed herein (Figs. 1, 2). Two of us (Baird, Brett) are involved in ongoing revision of the Union Springs-through-Skaneateles formational successions across central and western New York as, well as central Pennsylvania.

In presenting the "New Gazetteer and Directory of Living ston County" tojthe public, the publisher desires to return his sinscere thanks to 'all who have aided in procuring information^ for its progress. And to the pregs of the county, for calling public attention to his efforts; and to the public generally, for the hospitality shown to his agents while engaged in the canvass. Last, but not last, his thanks are due to those who have become patrons for the work, and to those who have aided by way of advertising. We cordially commend the advertisers in this work, to all, representing, as they do, manyi of the leading firms in the county. That errors have not occurred in so great a number of names and dates, would be preposterous to assume, and more than a community could expect. But it has been his desire, added to the bare and labor which has been spent, to make as few as possible, beleiving any seemingly short comings will be forgiven by a discriminating public.
