ST. LAWRENCE-EASTERN ONTARIO COMMISSION

INTRODUCTION

In response to the accelerated deterioration of

the natural resources of the St. Lawrence River Valley

and Ea stern Lake Ontario shorelands, the New York State

Legislature created the St. Lawrence-Eastern Ontario

Commission.

The agency's service area includes twenty-three

shoreline towns and two cities in St. Lawrence, Jefferson,

Oswego and Cayuga Counties. This represents more than

400 miles of shoreline, more than 1,000 islands, and

about 1,000,000 acres of land. The-region'has about

180,000 permanent residents and is the summer playground

for millions of Americans and Canadians.

The Commission is composed.of s.event.een.commissioners,.

who are supported by a ten-member staff. These

commissioners are appointed by the Governor with the

advice and consent of the State Senate.
There are four commis@sioners from both St. Lawrence

and Jefferson Counties, three from Oswego, and one from

Cayuga County. Representation reflects the proportion

of shoreline of each county in the Commission's service

area. In addition, two state residents from outside

the area serve on the Commission.

Ex.officio members include the Commissioner of

Environmental Conservation, the Commissioner of Commerce,

and the Secretary of State.

the commission's purpose is to preserve, enhance :and

develop the scenic, recreational, historical and natural

resources of the region, and to design programs that will

encourage the full development of the commercial, industrial,

agricultural and residential resources of the area.

The Commission has three major responsibilities:

1) Preparation of a comprehensive development plan

for the wise use of the region'.s resources.

2) Reviews of proposed projects within its service

@area that might bring about a major change in the quality

of the scenic, historical, recreational or environmental

resources.

.3) Investigation.of the high water level on Lake

Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in recent years.

One of the Commission's first accomplishments was a

shoreline study conducted in cooperation with the New York

State College of Environmental Science-and Forestry,

Syracuse. Because Oswego.and Cayuga Counties were not yet

pa rt of the agency's service area, the study analyzed the

natural resources along the shoreline of St. Lawrence and

Jefferson Counties. This effort represented a starting point

in cataloging the region's resources to avoid.destruction

and loss of,the very characteristics thatmake the region

a unique area.

PRESENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS

CURRENT ACTIVITIES

1. Planping Program

The Commission outlined its planning program and

published an Overall Program Design in 1974. Because of

cutbacks in Commission funding, this planning program has

been revised. This has reduced the scope of or elminated

certain work elements in the original design.

The agency was allocated $300,000 in the fiscal

1975-76 state budget. However, the Commission actually

worked under a restricted budget ceiling of $234,000.

The planning program focuses on the unique issues and

opportunities of the shoreline, emphasizing the coastal

zone and environmental aspects. Three broad subjects are

covered.

The first, water resources, deals with the quality of

water along the shoreline and.the tributary streams leading

into the lake and river; the changing physical character

of the shoreline caused by erosion and deposition; and

the location and characteristics of critical aquatic habitats

and their life support systems for fish and wildlife.

A second group of studies concerns land resources.

Examples include soil and mineral resources;.agricultural

and forestry industries; major plant and wi ldlife communities;

and sceni,c values. All of these contribute to the social

and economic well-being of.the region.

The third group of studies deals with developmental

resources resulting from man's use of the lands and waters.

These elements include shoreline development of permanent

and seasonal dwellings; commercial and industrial activities,;

outdoor recreation; inland centers of public and private

services; employment; transportation; population; the region's

economy; and existing land use and developmental controls of

state and local agencies.

2. Project Review

The Commission has coastal zone management responsibility

to review projects within its service area. It reviews pro-

posed construction, land development and other projects which

may damage natural or historic resources, or change the use

or appearance of the land or waters.

This process.is designed to encourage public and private

development reflecting a careful balancing of all the interests

of the region while respecting the natural environment. During

the course of project review, sponsors often make improvements

necessary to make the project environmentally compatible.

The Commission api)lies certain criteria to determine

whether the proposed development might have an unreasonably

adverse effect on the scenic, historic, recreational and

natural resources of the region, Some of the factors considered

include pollution of air and water,drainage, flooding and soil

erosion, effects on local services,and facilities, and local and

regional economic effects.

This review may take no more than thirty days. If the

project might have an unreasonably adverse effect on the region's

resources, the Commission notifies the sponsor, who may not

undertake or continue the project for an additional sixty-

day period.*

The Commissi on uses this time to further review the

project. The agency can hold public hearings and report

its findings to the project sponsor,'public agencies who

have power of.review or approval of the project, and to the

general public.

However, the Commission does not have the power to

halt a project indefinitely. It must use these other

actions to alert the sponsor, interested government agencies

and the general public of the possible adverse effects of

the project under review.

3. High Water Report

In 1973, the State Legislature directed the Commission

to study the problem of controlling water levels on Lake

Ohtario and the St. Lawrence River, and to make recommenda-

tions to federal, state, municipal and private agencies.

The Commission has published a 290-page report analyzing

the impact of high water levels from January 1973 through

August 1974. The report's study area included New York

shorelands along the lake and river.

To correct the situation, the Commission recommended

that water level regulation criteria established by the Inter-

national Joint Commission be reexamined. In addition, the

agency called for acceleration and expansion of flood

plain management programs, and for the use of structural

protection techniques in certain developed areas. The use

of structural protection in undeveloped areas should be

limited, the report said, with greater emphasis on flood

plain management techniques to minimize damages.

The report noted that in the absence of effective flood

plain management regulations, development has occurred in

areas where it is not compatible with environmental limita-

tions. Consequently, these-areas have experienced great

amounts of damage from high water levels.

Recommendations made in the Commission's report, if

implemented, should lead to a reduction of the total negative

impact experienced along the waterway due to high water levels.

4. Shoreline Damage Survey

Recognizing the Commission's expertise, the U.S.. Army

Corps of Engineers asked the agency for help in collecting

information for the,design of a program to minimize damage to

waterfront property owners. In 1975, the Commission

conducted a.shoreline damage survey in Oswego County,

under contract to the.Corps of Engineers.

Questionnaires and personal interviews were used to

gather information from residential, commercial and industrial

shoreline owners.

Information collected will be used to develop engineering

programs for emergency shoreland protection, and state and

federal projects designed to prevent damage from high water

levels. It will also offer guidance for federal flood insurance

and disaster relief programs.

5. Water Quality Studies

Because of the lack of information about embayed

areas in the region, the Commission is conducting a water
5uality study at Chaumont Bay in Jefferson County This is
the I)eginnihg of a long-term program to determine the impacts

of man's shoreline and upland development on the area's

water resources.

Intensive water sampling was conducted at Chaumont

Bay from July 1974 to July 1975. Eighteen stations were

set up'in Chaumont Bay and five stations in its tributaries.

Information was gathered on eighteen different para-

meters, such as total and fecal coliforms, dissolved oxygen,

phosphates and nitrates in water and sediments, pH and

alkalinity. All these parameters.have a direct relationship

with the bay's natural productivity and usefulness to man.

Initial study results have identified at least two

important problems. High bacterial counts were recorded'

at certain stations, indicating a potential health hazard.

Inadequately treated wastes are entering the bay water,

either human waste via poorly functioning septic systems

or animal waste in runoff from agricultural lands, or both.

These wastes may contain disease-causing bacteria and

viruses, which can then infect individuals.who come in

contact with contaminated water.

A second problem is excessive amounts of phosphate in
the 'bay. This probably accounts for most of the increased

growths of weedbeds and algae. This is adversely affecting

.recreational activities, as well as the water's aesthetic quality.

The Commission is continuing to collect and analy ze

water samples from Chaumont Bay, and has broadened its studies

to other shoreline areas along Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence

River.

6. Salmonid Fishery Support Facilities Report

Stocking of salmonid (salmond an d trout) was begun in

the tributary streams of Eastern Lake Ontario in 1969. This

has produced a new and rapidly-growing sports fishery in the

region.

When the fishery is fully developed in the 1980's, the

,Commission estimates that 100,000 fishermen may visit the

area annually. Many existing facilities and services are

inadequate to meet these growing demand s, and plans for their

improvement were urgently needed.

The Commission has prepared a comprehensive plan which

identifies additional facilities and services need to support

the fishermen and their families. It also determines suitable

locations for needed facilities, outlines actions to implement

the plants proposals, and recommends priorities for investments

by public agencies.

The Commission estimates the total economic impact of

the salmonid fishery could .reach $14-million annually by the

early 19801*s. The key to this expanded economic activity is

construction of a $4.5-million"salmonid fish hatchery on the

Salmon River in Oswego County.

Problems identified in the Commission's plan are a

shortage of boat launching ramps, pier moorings and public

access ways to streams and Lake Ontario. In addition, there

are additional needs for harbors of refuge, boat rescue

operations, and accommodations.'

The Commission also foresees increa sed pressure for.

development along the shoreline and the fishing streams.

The agency has made recommendations to protect critical

natural resource features in the region, including productive

wetlands, stocked and potential salmonid streams, fragile

sand dunes, and erodible bluffs.

7.. Soils Survey Program
The lack of accurate and detailed soils information 'has

long been a handicap to effective planning and development

in the Commission's servi ce area. As yet, only Cayuga and

Oswego Counties have completed new soil surveys.

The Commission has on its staff a soils scientist from

the U. S. Department of Agriculture. His work involves

evaluation and interpretation of soils information for the

Commission.-

The Commission has in the past entered into agreements

with the Soil and Water Conservation Districts of St.

Lawrence and Jeffers.on Counties. Under these agreements,

Commission funds enabled the districts to accelerate the

soil survey programs in their shoreline towns. This has

insured a higher priority of mapping in the coastal zone as

well as speeding completion of the two county surveys.
When completed, the soil interpretations from.the four

counties will have been integrated to insure that the same

soils are assessed in the same way.

FISCAL YEAR 1975-76

The 1975-76 fiscal year was a crucial one for the

Commission. Its program in cltided two major tasks:

1) presentation and follow-up of recommendations in

the agency's high water report and its facilities
and services plan for the emerging salmonid fishery;'

and

2) continuation of basic research and analysis necessary

for preparing a comprehensive development plan for

the regionts resources, including:

Regional coordination of technical studies by

local and state agencies under the federal coastal

zone management planning program

. Land use/near-shore water quality studies at

Chaumont Bay and other critical areas of Eastern

Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River

. Special studies.of shoreline property and natural

resource damage in Oswego County due to high water

levels

. Soil surveys and mapping in shoreline towns of

Jefferson and,St.. Lawrence Counties

. Studies on the area's economic and social

characteristics, scenic resources, upland

habitats and land ownership patterns

The first plan elements to be drafted will include

delineation of the coastal zone and areas of particular

concern. Recommended. general patter ns of land use will

also be identified, based on adaptability of the area's

resources to various forms of development.

By spring 1976, the Commission will have obtained the

basic information for preparation of an interim report

on the prospects for beneficial management of the area's

coastal resources.

CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEES

Many of the Commissioners are resi dents of the service.
area, providing valuable local input to the Commission's

work program. In addition, the Commission has established

citizen advisory groups specializing in:

Planning Water Resources Recreation

. Agriculture . Economic Development Environmental
Management
. Historic/ . Real Estate
'Cultural Economics Natural Resources

This will encourage greater participation by residents

and local government in the Commission's planning process.

These committees will meet during the year, while individual

members will be contacted for information or advice on

specific matters as needed. More than 100 people have

volunteered to serve on these committees.

Citizens are also encouraged to participate in the

Commissionts public hearings held throughout the region.

APPENDIX A

THE COMMISSION CONCEPT

As an intermediary, the St. Lawrence-Eastern Ontario Commission:

--can remove the burden of sensitive land-use decisions
(involving natural resource protection) from local
elected and appointed officials.

--allows local business and professional interests
(community leaders as Commission members) to understand
the need for a balanced program of economic-environmental
trade-offs.

--provides for the recognition (with at-large and cabinet
members as Commissioners) that local resources have
state and national significance.

--provides a greater return for public dollars invested.

--will minimize the feeling that "the state is telling
us what to do with our land."

--achieves a regional coastal zone management which
recognizes natural resources criteria as planning
boundaries.

--will produce a product at the scale necessary to solve
non-point pollution sources.

--could possess authority to protect critical resources
unique to the Great Lakes shoreline.

--provides technical assistance (objectively) at an
economy of scale not possible at.the local government
level.

--fills the void created by the absence of local ordinances.

--fills the void created by poorly drawn or improperly
administered ordinances.
