The Directory is produced by the Bureau of Criminal Justice Statistical Services under a cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics. The purpose of the agreement is to improve the transfer and communication of criminal justice ffiformation between federal, state, local, and private criminal justice organizations. This Directory is intended to provide concise and useable address listings of major criminal justice agencies in the State. In addition to addresses, telephone numbers and the names of the agency Director (with the exception of judges under the court listings) are provided for each organization. This edition includes four new listings of Railroad Police Departments, Other Law Enforcement Agencies, Stop DWI Programs and the New York City Department of Probation. The listings are divided into eight major categories: Law Enforcement (updated through March 10, 1993), Prosecution and Defense, Courts, Probation, Youth, Corrections, Parole and State Level Criminal Justice Agencies. These are further subdivided where appropriate. Note that Sheriff Departments are listed in the Law Enforcement category even though most operate correctional facilities at the county level. Within sub-categories, agencies are listed alphabetically; State Police Troop Headquarters are listed alphabetically by the troop letter designation. 1 2 ---------- LAW ENFORCEMENT 3 4 -- ------ ASSOCIATIONS NEW YORK.

  • New York City Area: Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch
    MAPS INSIDE NEW YORK CITY AREA Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch 1 Why We Have Advisories 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 close to human activities and contamination sources are more likely to be contaminated than fish from remote marine waters. In the New York City area, fish from the Long Island Sound or the ocean are less contaminated. 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. Women who eat highly contaminated fish and become pregnant may have an increased risk of having children who are slower to develop and learn. Chemicals may have a greater effect on the development of young children or unborn babies. Also, some chemicals may be passed on in mother’s milk. Women beyond their childbearing years and men may face fewer health risks from some chemicals. For that reason, the advice for women over age 50 and men over age 15 allows them to eat more kinds of sportfish and more often (see tables, pages 4 and 6).

  • About Fresh Kills
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION : 2001 ABOUT FRESH KILLS Fresh Kills Landfill is located on the western shore of Staten Island. Approximately half the 2,200-acre landfill is composed of four mounds, or sections, identified as 1/9, 2/8, 3/4 and 6/7 which range in height from 90 feet to approximately 225 feet. These mounds are the result of more than 50 years of landfilling, primarily household waste. Two of the four mounds are fully capped and closed; the other two are being prepared for final capping and closure. Fresh Kills is a highly engineered site, with numerous systems put in place to protect public health and environmental safety. However, roughly half the site has never been filled with garbage or was filled more than twenty years ago. These flatter areas and open waterways host everything from landfill infrastructure and roadways to intact wetlands and wildlife habitats. The potential exists for these areas, and eventually, the mounds themselves, to support broader and more active uses. With effective preparation now, the city can, over time, transform this controversial site into an important asset for Staten Island, the city and the region. Before dumping began, Fresh Kills Landfill was much like the rest of northwest Staten Island. That is, most of the landfill was a salt or intertidal marsh. The topography was low-lying, with a subsoil of clay and soils of sand and silt. The remainder of the area was originally farmland, either actively farmed, or abandoned and in stages of succession. Although Fresh Kills Landfill is not a wholly natural environment, the site has developed its own unique ecology.

PETEET NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies 2880 Broadway, New York, New York 10025 USA Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory 61 Route 9W, Palisades, New York 10964 USA [email protected] DEE CABANISS PEDERSON Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory 61 Route 9W, Palisades, New York 10964 USA DOROTHY KURDYLA AND TOM GUILDERSON Lawrence-Livermore National Laboratory, Center for Accelerated Mass Spectometry 7000 East Avenue, L-403, Livermore, California 94550 USA Abstract.—Hudson riverine and coastal marshes provide a paleoecological archive consisting of information on climate and land use at both the local and watershed scales. The timing of formation of these marshes is documented using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C dating of identified plant macrofossils in basal marsh organic sediments. While the Staten Island marsh is oldest and dates to 11,000 years before present (BP), Piermont, Iona, and Croton marshes date to the mid-Holocene, and the Jamaica Bay marshes formed most recently. Pollen and spores, charcoal, and plant macrofossils in the marsh sediments document marked climatic shifts as well as anthropogenic impact in the region. Assessment of the inorganic and organic content of the sediments in the marshes reveals a pattern of decreasing inorganic supply with the arrival of the Europeans, possibly due to the construction of numerous Hudson River tributary dams. Piermont Marsh, because of its sensitive location in the Hudson River, records droughts and wet intervals through species which have specific salinity affinities.
