  • Section 4. Tributaries. II-70
    Section 4. Tributaries 4.1 Subwatershed Descriptions The Oneida Lake watershed is composed of seven primary subwatersheds that drain groundwater and surface water from a six county region directly to the Lake (Map 2.4.1 – Subwatersheds). A general description of the following subwatersheds is presented in this chapter: the Oneida Creek subwatershed (extending throughout portions of Madison and Oneida Counties), the Cowaselon Creek subwatershed (located entirely within Madison County), the Chittenango Creek subwatershed (a portion of which borders Onondaga and Madison Counties), the Limestone/Butternut Creeks subwatershed (that flows through Onondaga County), the Wood Creek subwatershed (presented here in two sections – Wood Creek North and Wood Creek South) that flows through Oneida County, and the Fish Creek subwatershed (divided into the East Branch, West Branch, and Lower Fish Creek), spanning portions of Oneida, Lewis, and Oswego Counties. The section describing the Oneida Lake North Shore subwatershed refers to an area in Oneida and Oswego Counties along the north shore that drains directly into Oneida Lake. Each of the subwatershed sections contains information about geography, land use, and soils. Additional information is presented on existing programs and, when available, additional sources of information. This information was compiled to help the reader understand the natural features and local issues that influence water quality in Oneida Lake and its tributaries. 4.1.1 Chittenango Creek Subwatershed The Chittenango Creek subwatershed can be further divided into the following hydrologic units: -- Upper Chittenango Creek -- Lower Chittenango Creek Geography The headwaters of Chittenango Creek are located in the Madison County Town of Nelson at the Erieville Reservoir (also known as Tuscarora Lake).

  • 1 Acute Toxicity of Triclopyr Herbicide to the Gastropoda Snails European
    Acute Toxicity of Triclopyr Herbicide to the Gastropoda Snails European Ambersnail, Succinea putris and Tadpole Physa, Physella gyrina. Report Prepared For: Town of Cazenovia 7 Albany Street Cazenovia, NY 13035 Report Prepared By: Gary N. Neuderfer Rochester, NY [email protected] November 19, 2009 INTRODUCTION: The Town of Cazenovia, New York treated the north end of Cazenovia Lake during the summer of 2009 with the aquatic formulation of the herbicide triclopyr manufactured by SePRO Corporation, Carmel, IN. Renovate® OTF granular (Active Ingredient: triclopyr: 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyloxyacetic acid, triethylamine salt, 14.0%) was used in 2009 to treat 234 acres at the north end of Cazenovia Lake, and the Town has proposed to treat 173.5 acres at the south end of the Lake in 2010 ( NYSDEC 2009). The goal of these treatments is primarily to eradicate the invasive aquatic plant Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum). The outlet from Cazenovia Lake is at the south end, so low concentrations of the active ingredient in Renovate® OTF will flow out of the Lake and ultimately down Chittenango Creek. About 5.3 miles downstream from the Cazenovia Lake outlet on Chittenango Creek is Chittenango Falls, the home of the Chittenango Ovate Amber Snail (Novisuccinea chittenangoensis). The Chittenango Ovate is listed as endangered in NYS and threatened by the Federal Government. There are no Gastropoda (snail) toxicity data in the literature to evaluate the potential threat to the Chittenango Ovate Amber Snail from the proposed herbicide use in Cazenovia Lake. The purpose of this project was to provide the necessary toxicity data to evaluate the potential threat of the proposed 2010 triclopyr herbicide treatment to the endangered Chittenango Ovate Amber Snail.

The 25 counties of FL-LOWPA express their gratitude to Governor George Pataki and the New York State Legislature for support of the FL-LOWPA program. The principal investigators for this project were Elizabeth Moran, Ph.D. and John Roebig, Ph.D. of EcoLogic, LLC in Cazenovia, New York. Several individuals affiliat- ed with FL-LOWPA contributed substantially to the project, including county rep- resentatives Jim Balyszak (Yates County), Warren Hart (Ontario County), Charlie Knauf (Monroe County), Russ Nemecek (Onondaga County), Karen Noyes (Oswego County) and staff members Betsy Landre and Marion Balyszak (Water Resources Board)/. Mercury Print Productions in Rochester, New York designed the layout and printed the report. An endeavor to characterize water quality status and programming at the local level across a region as vast as the New York Lake Ontario Basin depends upon infor- mation from many sources. Dozens of water resources professionals at the federal, state, regional, county and local levels and water quality coordinating committees in the Basin provided valuable information that made this project possible.

  • Leatherstocking/Central Region: Health Advice on Eating Fish You
    Leatherstocking/ MAP INSIDE Central Region Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch Including Chenango, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego, Schoharie, and parts of Herkimer Counties Why We Have Advice Fishing is fun and fish are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish contain high quality protein, essential nutrients, healthy fish oils, and are low in saturated fat. However, some fish contain chemicals at levels that may be harmful to health. To help people make healthier choices about which fish they eat, the New York State Department of Health issues advice about eating sportfish (fish you catch). The health advice about which fish to eat depends on: Where You Fish Fish from waters that are affected by industrial sources are more likely to be contaminated than fish from other waters. In the Leatherstocking/Central Region, for example, fish from Oneida Lake are generally less contaminated than fish from the Mohawk River. This is because Oneida Lake has been less affected by certain industrial chemicals. If you’re planning a fish meal, please read the section Where can the whole family eat the fish? inside this brochure. Some fish are known to move from lakes and rivers into tributaries, such as from Unadilla River into Butternut Creek. The lake and river advice also applies to its tributaries up to the first barrier that stops fish from moving upstream or downstream, such as a dam or waterfall. Who You Are Women of childbearing age (under 50) and children under 15 are advised to limit the kinds of fish they eat and how often they eat them.

  • Iroquois Population History and Settlement Ecology, Ad 1500-1700
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts IROQUOIS POPULATION HISTORY AND SETTLEMENT ECOLOGY, AD 1500-1700 A Dissertation in Anthropology by Eric E. Jones Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2008 The dissertation of Eric E. Jones was reviewed and approved* by the following: Nina G. Jablonski Professor of Biological Anthropology Department Head Dean R. Snow Professor of Archaeological Anthropology Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee George R. Milner Professor of Archaeological Anthropology Kenneth G. Hirth Professor of Archaeological Anthropology James W. Wood Professor of Biological Anthropology and Demography Timothy M. Murtha Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Anthropological research into the population and settlement of Northern Iroquoian Native American societies has the potential to further our knowledge of cultural development and population change in pre-contact North America, the impacts of European contact on Native American societies, and the development and organization of middle range and swidden agricultural societies. This dissertation is composed of two research components. The first is an examination of Haudenosaunee population trends from AD 1500 to AD 1700. In this research, I map the boundaries of all known Haudenosaunee villages occupied during this period. The combination of settlement size and ratios of site area-per-person generate population estimates for each village. With existing chronological data, I combine these estimates to create population curves for the Haudenosaunee nations. The analysis of associated archaeological and ethnohistoric data provides explanations for the observed trends. The second is an analysis of the natural and sociopolitical factors that influenced Haudenosaunee settlement locations and abandonment.
