| ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
AND PUBLICATIONS PUBLICATIONS AND PROGRAM SUMMARIES |
| Oneida County Environmental Assessment and Plan |
| A comprehensive plan which identifies key environmental resources within the county. The report includes textual descriptions of environmentally significant resources and provides a series of maps depicting the locations of these resources. |
| Canal Plan for the Mohawk Valley Region |
| The plan was developed to provide the NYS Canal Recreationway Commission with the input necessary to develop the Statewide Canal Recreationway Plan. The Mohawk Valley Regional Canal plan covers an area which includes a 1/2 mile corridor on each side of the Erie Canal, beginning at a point just east of Amsterdam in Montgomery County and extending through Herkimer County to Oneida Lake in western Oneida County. The plan provides the framework necessary to encourage economic development and to direct growth in tourism and recreational use of the canal. |
| Community Flood Mitigation Planning Program |
|
The Regional Planning Program provides assistance
in the study of both structural and non-structural flood mitigation alternatives
for area creeks. The program focuses on the public participation components
- acting as a liaison between the local governments and the DEC and Army
Corps of Engineers. Community Flood Hazard Mitigation Plans may be developed
through this program. |
| Mohawk River Floodplain Study |
| Past efforts in flood mitigation planning programs resulted in the development of the Mohawk River Study which provides a plan for flood plain management along the entire Mohawk River corridor throughout Oneida and Herkimer Counties. |
| Hinckley Reservoir Study |
| The study was undertaken to establish a broad database of environmental and land use conditions around the Hinckley Reservoir and to define major land use issues associated with development. The study report suggests a number of regulatory measures and policies which could be implemented to address many of the identified concerns. |
| Southern Reservoirs Study |
| Given the discontinued use of and the unique urban location of the Southern Reservoirs' site within the City of Utica, a study was undertaken to investigate potential reuse for recreation and/or housing. |
