Agricultural Composting: A Feasibility Study for New York Farms
Summary: Agricultural composting is experiencing a resurgence of activity, particularly in the Northeastern U.S. Three fundamental factors are driving this interest: environmental and community constraints on traditional manure management options, increased understanding of the agronomic benefits of compost utilization, and rising disposal costs for materials such as municipal yard waste and food processing wastes which might be managed for a profit in an agricultural setting. Although these factors are encouraging many farmers to re-evaluate composting, there are important tradeoffs to consider as well. Equipment and labor costs, land, and management requirements can be significant, and compost production and utilization techniques are not well established.

Appalachian Trail Conference
Summary: The Appalachian Trail is a continuous marked footpath that goes from Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia, a distance of about 2160 miles. Though much of the corridor along the Appalachian Trail has been protected, more needs to be done. Development threatens some of the picturesque vistas, water sources, wildlife habitat, and sidetrail opportunities in all fourteen states. The Trust for Appalachian Trail Lands provides a way for individuals to join in the effort to protect the Appalachian Trail landscape. A program of the Appalachian Trail Conference, the Trust uses private gifts to acquire unprotected lands and place them in public ownership. The Trust: protects land adjacent to the A.T. corridor through land acquisition by donation or purchase. is a voluntary land protection program dependent on private donations. cooperates with members of government land acquisition programs and other privately funded land trusts that are active along the trail corridor. has protected over 7000 acres of Trail-related land. has federal tax exempt status.

Chesapeake Bay Program
Summary: The Chesapeake Bay Program is the unique regional partnership that's been directing and conducting the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay since the signing of the historic 1983 Chesapeake Bay Agreement. The Chesapeake Bay Program partners include the states of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia; the District of Columbia; the Chesapeake Bay Commission, a tri-state legislative body; the Environmental Protection Agency, representing the federal government; and participating advisory groups. As the largest estuary in the United States and one of the most productive in the world, the Chesapeake was this nation's first estuary targeted for restoration and protection. In the late 1970s, scientific and estuarine research on the Bay pinpointed three areas requiring immediate attention: nutrient over-enrichment, dwindling underwater Bay grasses and toxic pollution. Once the initial research was completed, the Bay Program evolved as the means to restore this exceptionally valuable resource. Since its inception in 1983, the Bay Program's highest priority has been the restoration of the Bay's living resources- its finfish, shellfish, Bay grasses, and other aquatic life and wildlife. Improvements include fisheries and habitat restoration, recovery of Bay grasses, nutrient and toxic reductions, and significant advances in estuarine science.

Climate Change and New York
Summary: Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea level, and change precipitation and other local climate conditions. Changing regional climate could alter forests, crop yields, and water supplies. It could also threaten human health, and harm birds, fish, and many types of ecosystems. Deserts may expand into existing rangelands, and the character of some of our National Parks may be permanently altered. Unfortunately, many of the potentially most important impacts depend upon whether rainfall increases or decrease, which can not be reliably projected for specific areas.

Columbia Land Conservancy
Summary: The Columbia Land Conservancy, Inc. is a private, non-profit land trust dedicated to protecting farmland, wildlife habitat, and rural open space in the Columbia County region of New York State. The Conservancy was incorporated as a not-for-profit land tr ust in 1986. In 1989, it became a full-time organization, and since that time has received commitments on the protection of more than 10,000 acres. The Conservancy believes strongly in developing local and national partnerships for conservation with foun dations, conservation organizations, community groups, and local municipalities. Examples of this include working with American Farmland Trust (AFT), a national organization dedicated to the protection of agricultural lands, to secure the single largest a gricultural easement in the State of New York; the protection of the Greenport Hudson River Conservation Area with four individual groups and five foundations; ongoing negotiations with AFT and a local community group to protect over 1,400 acres of wildli fe habitat; and building a diverse coalition of support with private individuals, foundations, and local organizations to establish the Harlem Valley Rail Trail. In 1992 the Conservancy published its Hudson River Valley Rural Design Guidebook which was us ed in the Hudson River Advisory Board of the President's Council on Sustainable Development's 1995 report. Throughout the spectrum of its land conservation projects, Conservancy continues to place special emphasis on preserving Columbia County's unique re gional significance as the crossroads of the Hudson River Valley, the Taconic and Berkshire Mountain ranges, and the Capital District. It encourages environmental sensitivity and enlightened planning to guide the region's growth, and strongly supports th e long-term preservation of the region's agricultural economy. The Conservancy is equally committed to helping provide quality outdoor experiences to a diverse population and is currently working on the establishment of three public recreational and wild life sanctuaries in addition to the proposed Harlem Valley Rail Trail. The Columbia Land Conservancy is currently considered one of the fastest-growing land trusts in New York State and the nation.

East River Information Site
Summary: Because of intense urban development along the East River, the natural functions of the river have greatly changed. These constrictionns produce a particular hydrology with faster water flow, greater tidal rises and falls, and longer sedimentary ranges, as architect Peter Wheelwright has noted. In June 1997, Professor Wheelwright spoke at the opening of an exhibition focused on the Hudson River. This speech is reprinted here because of the issues it raises about ecology and the relationship to the built environment. Although the focus of the talk is the lower Hudson River, the same facts hold true for the East River. With this in mind, the Institute feels it is an important document for discussion.

EMPACT Quantitative Environmental Indicators of Contamination (QEIC) Project
Summary: The objective of this project is to use a set of basic scientific measures known as quantitative environmental indicators of contamination (QEICs) to summarize the quality of soil, groundwater, and the impact of groundwater contamination on surface water at contaminated sites in communities. This project will seek to demonstrate how QEICs, coupled with GIS techniques, can provide the public with a clear understanding of the extent and amount of contamination at specified sites. This EMPACT project will use QEICs to organize and integrate multiple sets of time relevant monitoring data collected at hazardous waste sites. GIS maps, as well as tables, posted on the Internet will display the environmental status of contaminated sites. Initially, a pilot that focuses on the New Jersey/New York City metropolitan area will test the feasibility of using QEICs. Later, the program will be expanded to include contaminated sites across all 10 EPA Regions. The project will also explore the feasibility and usefulness of having permittees and other responsible parties deliver data electronically to make it available quicker to both regulators and the public. This project will empower communities and the public with time-relevant information that will support their day-to-day decisionmaking. This information will enable the public to participate in property development and site cleanup, and alter their lifestyle to avoid contaminated soil, groundwater, and surface water.

Friends of the Bay
Summary: Friends of the Bay is a widely respected, volunteer-based, not-for-profit, environmental organization based in Oyster Bay, New York. Beginning in 1987 as a small group of volunteer citizens concerned about the deleterious effects of massive, proposed development in the drainage basin of the Oyster Bay Harbor, the group has grown to be a powerful voice representing nearly 3,500 area residents and businesses. Our mission is to promote, develop, foster and encourage community awareness of the need to preserve water quality and marine life in the Bay, to assure aesthetic and recreational value of the Oyster Bay Harbor and to ensure that any necessary development in the watershed is compatible with the needs of a healthy ecosystem. Friends play a leading role in the development of plans for the management and protection of the Bay ecosystems and federally- sponsored Long Island Sound Study. In addition, Friends conduct important community education programs to assist citizens in understanding and responding to the needs of the sensitive Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor environments. We coordinate citizen involvement through beach cleanups, dune grass plantings and citizen monitoring programs to ensure protection for the coastal and marine environment.

Hudson Bay Project
Summary: The Hudson Bay Project is a collaborative research program designed to examine the interacting biotic and abiotic factors that lead to the initiation and spread of these types of runaway processes (trophic cascades) in the coastal lowlands of this region. By understanding underlying processes and their impacts, we will be in a better position to develop strategies that may slow or halt the spread of the trophic cascades and perhaps lessen or even reverse their attendant degradation. The scope of the problem requires the integration of numerous areas of biological and physical sciences.

Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve Council
Summary: The South Shore Estuary stretches for over 70 miles from western Nassau County to the Shinnecock Bay in Suffolk County. The estuary includes a series of interconnected bays, rivers, streams,wetlands and small islands located along Long Island's south shore between the mainland and the barrier islands. Reynolds Channel, Middle Bay, East Bay, South Oyster Bay, Great South Bay, Moriches Bay and Shinnecock Bay are part of this natural system, and familiar places to many. At the urging of a broad-based group of Long Islanders, who expressed concern that the south shore bays and streams are neither as clean nor as productive as in the past, the State Legislature created a framework for developing a Comprehensive Management Plan for the estuary. This plan will describe current conditions, identify the most important problems and trends affecting the estuary, and recommend specific actions which should be taken by citizens and governments to insure that the estuary is improved and protected for future generations. The State Legislature created theSouth Shore Estuary Reserve Council to represent local and state governments, baymen, fishermen, water dependent businesses, community groups, conservationists and marine scientists. This Council will oversee the preparation of the management plan. Specialized committees will provide input from citizens and environmental organizations, technical experts, local governments, regulatory and law enforcement agencies.

Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC)
Summary: Due to the escalating costs of acquiring satellite images, in 1992 several federal agencies agreed to operate as a consortium in order to acquire satellite-based remotely sensed data for their environmental monitoring programs. Original members of the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) consortium were the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) . Later joining the consortium were the National Atmospheric and Space Administration (NASA) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). During the 1990's, the MRLC resulted in several successful mapping programs, including the: (1) Coastal Change Analysis Project (C-CAP) administered by NOAA; (2) Gap Analysis Project (GAP) directed by the Biological Resources Division of the USGS; and the National Land Cover Data (NLCD) project directed by both the USGS and EPA. The data developed by these projects are available publicly either through download, or by contacting the agencies involved.

New York Unified Watershed Assessment: Bronx
Summary: The federal Clean Water Action Plan requires each state to prepare a Unified Watershed Assessment to determine where additional funding will help achieve "fishable and swimmable" waters for all Americans. On October 1, 1998, New York State submitted to USEPA an assessment that brings together water quality and natural resource factors in each of the state's 54 watersheds. For each watershed area at the USGS 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code scale, technical staff of DEC and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service used evaluation data, expertise and public input to identify restoration priorities and develop action strategies that will be carried out over the next five years.

Ohio River EMPACT
Summary: Efforts are underway in the Cincinnati area to report time-relevant air quality data. The Ohio River in the Cincinnati area is used as a source of drinking water for over one million people in two states and is the site of increasingly intensive recreational use. Upstream of the Cincinnati area, the water quality of the Ohio river is generally able to support sensitive uses-sources of drinking water, contact recreation, and aquatic life habitat. As the river passes through the Cincinnati metro area, it receives discharges from four POTWs, approximately 400 CSOs, stormwater from over 100 square miles of urban watershed, and other nonpoint sources associated with a major metropolitan area, The river=s water quality, and its suitability for contact recreation in particular, is subject to rapid changes, particularly during and after precipitation events. Monitoring of the river in the Cincinnati area is conducted by several entities, including ORSANCO, the drinking water utilities, local health departments, and the sewer districts. ORSANCO posts its bacteria data on an electronic bulletin board which is accessible by the other agencies. During the summer months, the Cincinnati Health Department calculates a AWater Quality Index@ based on bacteria measurements and releases the results to the local media with interpretive information. Due to the inherent time lags in the process, the index is published at least five days after the collection of the samples from which it is calculated. Data collected by the water and sewer utilities are not routinely made available to the public. A website for Ohio River water quality information will be used to make all data collected in the Cincinnati area available to all agencies, the news media, and the public in as timely a manner as possible. The first components will be readily understood information such as the water quality index, temperature, precipitation, and turbidity. Other data will be added subject to quality assurance checks and interpretive aids. The site will include a feedback component to allow users to identify their interests and needs.

Small Watershed Studies: Analytical Approaches for Understanding Ecosystem Response to Environmental Change
Summary: Biogeochemical studies in small watersheds provide an analytical approach to understand how ecosystems respond to natural climatic variations and human-induced environmental change. Small watersheds, usually less than 5 km2, are small enough to permit characterization and understanding of ecosystem processes within relatively simple, homogeneous biological and physical settings; yet they are large enough to incorporate more complex processes and element cycles than can be studied at plot scales. Watersheds comprise discrete hydrochemical environments allowing quantification of hydrologic, element, and energy budgets. Element budgets, or mass balances, can be quantified as the difference between the mass of a solute that enters a watershed in wet and dry deposition and leaves a watershed in streamflow. Element budgets are primary tools used to investigate biogeochemical processes. Monitoring various aspects of element budgets to assess ecosystem health and stability is analogous to measuring the pulse or blood chemistry of a patient. Monitoring streamwater chemistry, basic climate, soil, and biotic variables provide a means to integrate complex biogeochemical processes and evaluate trends in water quality. Small watershed studies provide a scientific basis to develop predictive models of watershed function.

The Staten Island Bluebelt: A Natural Solution to Stormwater Management
Summary: The Staten Island Bluebelt is an award winning, ecologically sound and cost-effective storm water management for approximately one third of Staten Island’s land area. The program preserves natural drainage corridors, called Bluebelts, including streams, ponds, and other wetland areas. Preservation of these wetland systems allows them to perform their functions of conveying, storing, and filtering storm water. In addition, the Bluebelts provide important community open spaces and diverse wildlife habitats. The Bluebelt program saves tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure costs when compared to providing conventional storm sewers for the same land area. This program demonstrates how wetland preservation can be economically prudent and environmentally responsible.

Western New York Land Conservancy
Summary: Welcome to the Western New York Land Conservancy's Special Projects section. This section is under development but will showcase wetlands in the Niagara Frontier as a irreplaceable resource that we cannot afford to lose. Please read on for more about our valuable wetlands and check back to see how this section is growing. Wetlands occur where land and water meet for extended periods of time. They occur along water bodies, lakes, rivers, streams etc., in low lying areas where water ponds, and even on hillsides where groundwater seeps to the surface. Almost 60% of the wetlands that were originally here in WNY have been destroyed. Our environment is showing the effects of this destruction. We cannot afford any more significant wetland losses. Wetlands are unique and irreplaceable and have values and functions that contribute to our community's social, economic and environmental health. Once a wetland is destroyed it is very difficult if not impossible to restore all these original functions. Wetlands not only keep our environment healthy, they save tax dollars.
