A Management Strategy for Oneida Lake and its ... - CNY RPDB Home

Recommendation
Promote the development of Forest Management Plans
via newsletter articles and the NYS AEM Tier II Worksheets.
Prioritize municipalities based upon pollution potential
using Community Environmental Management (CEM)
and other programs.
Assist regulated MS4 communities with the implementation
of the 6 minimum measures of their Stormwater
Management Programs.
Provide education and training for local officials on
erosion controls and stormwater management and the
benefits and process of adopting and/or updating local
stormwater and erosion control ordinances.
Assist MS4s with ordinance development for construction
site runoff control in accordance with the Phase II
Stormwater regulations.
Educate zoning inspectors and planning boards about
the benefits of reviewing and how to review construction
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs).
Increase training for highway employees in erosion
control, roadbank ditch construction and maintenance,
hydroseeding, catch basin maintenance, and road
deicing to reduce the delivery of sediment and other
pollutants from roadways and ditches.
Promote/facilitate communities in purchasing and
sharing equipment for street sweeping and hydroseeding
for use with local highway departments.
Streambank/Shoreline
Prioritize eroding stream segments based upon loading
rates using existing stream inventories on Oneida,
Sconondoa, Taylor, Butternut, Cascade, Conklin,
Limestone, Canaseraga, Cowaselon, Canastota and
Chittenango Creeks. Prioritization should also be based
on the location of flood prone areas and the influence of
flooding on erosion and sedimentation rates.
Complete stream inventories on Fish and Wood Creeks
in an effort to identify and prioritize additional critically
eroding streambanks and pollution sources in the
watershed.
Use stream inventories previously completed throughout
the watershed to identify and restore priority segments
using natural channel design.
