TOWN PROFILE The Town of Bovina is located in the eastern central portion of Delaware County. Hamlets within the Town include Bovina and Bovina Center1. The Town covers approximately 42 square miles2. According to the U.S. Census, the 2010 population for the Town was 6333. State Route 28 bisects the southern portion of the Town and connects the Town to other parts of the County1. The relief of the Town of Bovina was formed by glaciers and is characterized by both steep slopes and depressions. The Town is part of the glaciated low plateau section of the Appalachian Plateau Province. The Town of Bovina lies entirely within the Delaware River Basin. Most of the Town drains into the Little Delaware River, which is a tributary to the New York City-owned Cannonsville Reservoir. Small areas in the southern portion of the Town, and along the eastern ridge drain into the Pepacton Reservoir1. Hazard Vulnerabilities in the Town The following section discusses vulnerabilities from high-ranked hazards within the Town of Bovina. Complete profiles of all hazards of concern are included in Section 5 of this Plan.

    Historic American Land Surveys: The Mason Dixon Land Survey 4 Hours PDH Academy PO Box 449 Pewaukee, WI 53072 (888) 564-9098 www.pdhacademy.com HISTORIC AMERICAN LAND SURVEYS – THE MASON-DIXON LINE SURVEY BY: NATHAN J. WALKER, PLS Objective: As the retracement surveyors of today are called upon to “follow in the footsteps” of those original surveyors who went before, it is useful and instructive to learn how and why the early surveyors conducted their projects. It is likewise worthwhile to consider the outcomes and consequences of the early land surveys that shaped and continue to influence America. This course seeks to study the historically important Mason-Dixon Line survey, the circumstances that led to the necessity of the survey, the surveyors who conducted the survey, and the methods and techniques they employed to complete their daunting project. Also, the lasting political and cultural effects of the survey will be examined and a timeline of events relating to the survey will be presented. Course Outline: The Mason-Dixon Line Survey A.

  • Adapting to a Changing Climate: Risks & Opportunities for the Upper
    Adapting to a Changing Climate: Risks & Opportunities for the Upper Delaware River Region Common Waters Partnership Pinchot Institute for Conservation Author: Susan Beecher Model Forest Policy Program | Cumberland River Compact Foreword n 2012, the Model Forest Policy Program (MFPP), the Cumberland River Compact, Headwaters Economics, the Common Waters Partnership and the Pinchot Institute for Conservation came I together to create a climate adaptation plan for the communities of the Upper Delaware River Region. Development of the plan came about because all parties, led by MFPP, recognized the critical need for local community resilience against the impacts of climate change by protecting forest and water resources. This climate adaptation plan for the Upper Delaware Region of southeastern New York, northeastern Pennsylvania and northwestern New Jersey presents the results of a community team effort, deep and broad information gathering, critical analysis and thoughtful planning. The Common Waters Partnership and Pinchot Institute for Conservation shared the local leadership role to engage with the Climate Solutions University: Forest and Water Strategies program (CSU) and lead their community toward climate resilience with an adaptation plan that addresses their local climate risks and fits their local conditions and culture. This achievement was made possible by the guidance and coaching of the CSU program created by the Model Forest Policy Program in partnership with the Cumberland River Compact and the assistance of Headwaters Economics. The goal of CSU is to empower rural, underserved communities to become leaders in climate resilience using a cost effective distance-learning program. The result of this collaborative effort is a powerful climate adaptation plan that the community can support and implement in coming years.

  • Section 5.4.3 Flood Profile
    SECTION 5.4.3: RISK ASSESSMENT – FLOOD 5.4.3 FLOOD This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the flood hazard. HAZARD PROFILE This section provides profile information including description, location, extent, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the U.S. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river basins, coastlines and multiple counties or states) (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2010). Most communities in the U.S. have experienced some kind of flooding, after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, coastal storms, or winter snow thaws (George Washington University, 2001). Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazards in New York State in terms of human hardship and economic loss, particularly to communities that lie within flood prone areas or flood plains of a major water source. As defined in the NYS HMP, flooding is a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation on normally dry land from the following: Riverine flooding, including overflow from a river channel, flash floods, alluvial fan floods, dam- break floods and ice jam floods; Local drainage or high groundwater levels; Fluctuating lake levels; Coastal flooding; Coastal erosion (NYS HMP 2011) Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; Mudflows (or mudslides); Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water caused by erosion, waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels that result in a flood as defined above (Floodsmart.gov, 2012); Sea Level Rise; or Climate Change (USEPA, 2012).

French Street, 4th Floor Wilmington, DE 19801 FOREWORD Delaware was the "The First State" to ratify the United States Constitution but possibly is the last state to have its boundaries settled. It took from 1681 to 1934 to settle and mark most of them and still there is a part that remains to be determined. There are many unusual elements of the boundaries including a circular boundary that it shares with three other states.
