The Role of Organizations and Agencies 66 v Water Quality Strategy for Steuben County INTRODUCTION Steuben County, New York, is a rural county, consisting of 1,409 square miles of land. The county is a lightly populated agricultural area with two small cities (Hornell and Corning). Steuben County is situated in the Allegheny Plateau physiographic province. Streams dissecting the plateau have created valleys that are as deep as 300-600 feet. Overall, the elevations range from 2,400 feet to 714 feet at Keuka Lake. The county is underlain by Devonian age sedimentary rocks overlain by glacial deposits. Steuben County is situated in three major river basin systems of the Chemung, Genesee, and Seneca Rivers (Figure 1).

  • 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.

  • When Phelps Was Young
    WHEN PHELPS WAS YOUNG BY HELEN POST RIDLEY Copyright, 1939 By Helen Post Ridley Printed by The Phelps Echo, Phelps~ N. Y. FOREWORD In response to popular request, this work has been devel­ oped from the articles of the same title appearing in The Phelps Echo. We wish to thank the many kind friends ·who have loaned !heir 'Scrap-books' and their documents of family history. \Vithout them it would have been impossible to accumulate all of the interesting facts which will be found in these pages. The illustrations endeavor to picture a Phelps of the past rather than of the present. The Family Sketches in Part Two are taken from the his­ tories of over 150 families of P:helps, all interesting and each one ,vorthy of use. The number is limited from neeessity only, and is selected to represent the variety of interests and activities of the Pioneer Families.
