11 More roads, roofs, and driveways mean more runoff Less wildlife habitat, more fragmentation Changes the way water moves across the landscape Loss of streamside vegetation More stream crossings, barriers to fish, flooding risk More road salt degrades water quality Changes habitat promotes weedy species Limit animal migrations More negative wildlife-human interactions More pressure on aquifer, impact from septics Reduce hunting and recreation opportunities Images courtesy Dodson Associates, Ltd. And Behan Planning Associates, Inc Many impacts on water and wildlife

15 Outline Role of local governments The Natural Resource Summaries How you can use the Summaries Where to go for more information
16 What is a Natural Resource Summary? Local data from Farmscape Ecology at Hawthorne Valley Farm Summarizes existing information gleaned from (mostly) state data Description Table Map General conservation principles References
17 Please Note! Primarily for planning purposes Maps have limitations (e.g., scale) Raise questions for project review Will not tell you if a permit from NYSDEC is needed
18 What is in a Habitat Summary? Landscape Context Major Natural Features Streams and Watersheds Large Forests (200+ acres) Wetlands Calcium-rich bedrock Grasslands (text only) Semi-natural areas (text only)
19 What is in a Habitat Summary? Tables and Links
20 What is in a Water Resources Summary? Land Cover Aquifers Floodplains and Riparian Buffers Waterbody Classification, Assessments, and Impairment Stormwater Management SPDES Permits and Wastewater Aquatic Barriers
21 What is in a Water Resources Summary? Background Information for Chatham Tables Maps References
22 What is in a Water Resources Summary? Background Information for Chatham Tables Maps References
23 Recommended Conservation Guidelines Identify natural areas early in the planning process. Avoid and minimize disturbance to natural areas. Preserve links between natural areas with broad connections. Direct development toward altered or least sensitive areas. Preserve farmland potential and working forests.
24 Outline Role of local governments The Natural Resource Summaries How you can use the Summaries Where to go for more information
25 Area of concern
26 Compatible with protection of our groundwater? More detailed information?
27 Species of concern?
28 Large forests that could remain connected?
29 Important floodplain forest habitats? Trout stream?
30 Trout stream? Does it require a permit?
31 Local water quality?
32 Why? Requires increased stormwater protection?
33 Questions raised, answers provided Aquifer concerns? compatible land uses
34 Questions raised, answers provided Aquifer concerns? compatible land uses Important habitats? Species of concern and floodplain forests
35 Questions raised, answers provided Aquifer concerns? compatible land uses Important habitats? Species of concern and floodplain forests Protected Stream? Contact the DEC
36 Questions raised, answers provided Aquifer concerns? compatible land uses Important habitats? Species of concern and floodplain forests Protected Stream? Contact the DEC Impaired waterbody? Stormwater management concerns
37 How can a town use the Summaries? Comprehensive Plan Open Space Plan Zoning Town ordinances Natural Resource Inventory Comply with stormwater regulations SEQRA Environmental Assessment Forms Critical Environmental Areas Conservation Advisory Councils Project review (case study)
38 SEQRA requires lead agencies to take a hard look at environmental impacts 1) identify relevant areas of environmental concern 2) thoroughly analyze those areas to determine if the action may have a significant adverse impact 3) support its determination with reasoned elaboration Photo: L. Heady
39 The summaries can help you with several questions on the new Environmental Assessment Forms
40 Critical Environmental Areas A specific geographic area designated by a state or local agency because it has exceptional or unique environmental or cultural characteristics valued by the community. Hogback Hill CEA, Hyde Park
41 In Rosendale, the Conservation Advisory Council prepared a Natural Resource Inventory
42 In Rhinebeck, the Conservation Advisory Council helps the Planning Board
