Freshwater Fishing: a Driver for Ecotourism
New York FRESHWATER April 2019 FISHINGDigest Fishing: A Sport For Everyone NY Fishing 101 page 10 A Female's Guide to Fishing page 30 A summary of 2019–2020 regulations and useful information for New York anglers www.dec.ny.gov Message from the Governor Freshwater Fishing: A Driver for Ecotourism New York State is committed to increasing and supporting a wide array of ecotourism initiatives, including freshwater fishing. Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements. -

Construction TITIvE I—NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES WATER and repair, SUPPLY SEC. 101. (a) Congress hereby recognizes that assuring adequate supplies of water for the great metropolitan centers of the United States has become a problem of such magnitude that the welfare and prosperity of this country require the Federal Government to assist in the solution of water supply problems. Therefore, the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, is authorized to cooperate with Federal, State, and local agencies in preparing plans in accordance with the Water Resources Planning Act (Public Law 89-80) to meet the long-range water needs of the northeastern ^"^®' P- 244. United States. This plan may provide for the construction, opera tion, and maintenance by the United States of (1) a system of major reservoirs to be located within those river basins of the Northeastern United States which drain into the Chesapeake Bay, those that drain into the Atlantic Ocean north of the Chesapeake Bay, those that drain into Lake Ontario, and those that drain into the Saint Lawrence River, (2) major conveyance facilities by which water may be exchanged between these river basins to the extent found desirable in the national interest, and (3) major purification facilities. -
The Lasting Impacts of Large-Volume Runoff Events: Evaluating River
The Lasting Impacts of Large-Volume Runoff Events: Evaluating River Discharge and Suspended Sediment Transfer Patterns Following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, Schoharie Watershed, New York State, USA By Jesse Van Patter A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Jesse Van Patter, May, 2017 ABSTRACT The Lasting Impacts of Large-Volume Runoff Events: Evaluating River Discharge and Suspended Sediment Transfer Patterns Following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, Schoharie Watershed, New York State, USA Jesse Van Patter Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. Jaclyn Cockburn Committee Member: Dr. Wanhong Yang Large-volume runoff events have lasting impacts on sediment transfer by providing long-term supplies of transferable sediment. Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee generated extreme runoff throughout the Northeastern United States. This research evaluated multi-year discharge and suspended sediment transfer patterns for Schoharie Creek, New York State, USA to investigate the lasting impacts associated with extreme (>500-year recurrence interval) runoff generated by Irene and Lee. The relationship for river discharge and suspended sediment transfer was evaluated for 69 runoff events in 2013-2015; results indicated that sediment supply depletion did not occur. The multi-decadal suspended sediment flux was estimated during 1973- 2012 to investigate long-term sediment transfer processes. The suspended sediment flux was primarily transported during high discharge periods in each water year. Annual runoff and the frequency for large-volume runoff events have increased in the Northeastern United States from the mid-20th century to the present, thus suspended sediment transfer has likely increased. -

Water-Quality Assessment of the Hudson River Basin in New York and Adjacent States −
Water-quality Assessment Of The Hudson River Basin In New York And Adjacent States − Analysis of available nutrient, pesticide, volatile organic compound, and suspended-sediment data, 1970-90 By Patrick J. Phillips and Dorothea W. Hanchar _____________________________________ U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4065 Troy, New York 1996 i U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BRUCE BABBITT, Secretary U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Gordon Eaton, Director For additional information Copies of this report can be write to: purchased from: U.S. Geological Survey District Chief Branch of Information Services U.S. Geological Survey, WRD Federal Center 425 Jordan Road Box 25425 Troy, N.Y. 12180 Denver, CO 80225-8286 ii FOREWORD The mission of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is to assess the quantity and quality of the earth resources of the Nation and to provide information that will assist resource managers and policymakers at Federal, State, and local levels in making sound decisions. Assessment of water-quality conditions and trends is an important part of this overall mission. One of the greatest challenges faced by water-resources scientists is acquiring reliable information that will guide the use and protection of the Nation's water resources. That challenge is being addressed by Federal, State, interstate, and local water-resource agencies and by many academic institutions. These organizations are collecting water-quality data for a host of purposes that include: compliance with permits and water-supply standards; development of remediation plans for a specific contamination problem; operational decisions on industrial, wastewater, or water-supply facilities; and research on factors that affect water quality. -

OPERATION of GREAT SACANDAGA LAKE – Q & A
OPERATION of GREAT SACANDAGA LAKE – Q & A Q. What rules govern how the Great Sacandaga Lake is operated? Specifically how much water is let out, and when? A. An agreement between interested parties and stakeholder organizations was reached in 2000 and became part of a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license for the Great Sacandaga Lake in 2002. This agreement is known as the “Offer of Settlement” and governs how much water is to be released each day for all combinations of reservoir elevation and downstream flows. Q. What prompted the need for this agreement? A. A relicensing of the hydroelectric power plant at the Conklingville Dam with FERC required the development of an operating plan with appropriate long-term environmental protection measures that would meet diverse objectives for maintaining a balance of interests in the Upper Hudson River Basin. Q. What groups signed on to the agreement? A. A total of 29 organizations approved the agreement. In addition to the Hudson River – Black River Regulating District, they were: Great Sacandaga Lake Association, Fulton County Board of Supervisors, Saratoga County Board of Supervisors, Town of Hadley, Glens Falls Feeder Alliance, Adirondack Boardsailing Club, Adirondack Council, Great Sacandaga Fisheries Association, Erie Boulevard Hydropower, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Adirondack Mountain Club, Glens Falls Chapter of Adirondack Mountain Club, Great Sacandaga Lake Marinas, Adirondack Park Agency, Adirondack River Outfitters, American Rivers, Hudson River Rafting Company, International Paper, American Whitewater, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, NYS Conservation Council, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks, Sacandaga Outdoor Center, Wild Waters Outdoor Center, and New York Council of Trout Unlimited.
