                                                      PREFACE



             PuMse.       The purpose of a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) is to promote
             economic development and revitalization within the local waterfront area while assuring the
             protection and beneficial use of coastal resources therein.

             Authori1y. The Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act (NYS
             Executive Law, Article 42) and the implementing of rules and regulations for the Act (Part
             600 NYCRR) authorize the preparation of Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs with
             financial and technical assistance from the NYS Department of State. Article 42 and Part
             600 also require that all State agency actions proposed in a local waterfront area covered by
             an approved program be undertaken in a manner consistent, to the maximum extent
             practicable, with the policies and purposes of such program. In the absence of an approved
             LWRP, State agency actions in the coastal area must be consistent with the forty-four (44)
             coastal policies set forth in the New York State Coastal Management Program (CMP). In
             essence, when an LWRP has been approved by the NYS Secretary of State, its policies and
             purposes are substituted for those of the CMP.

             SteRs. 'A draft LWRP is prepared following guidelines developed by the NYS Department
             of State. The draft assesses local waterfront conditions, identifies policies applicable to those
             conditions, proposes future land and water uses and projects for the local waterfront area and
             describes local means for implementing such policies, uses and projects. It also identifies
             State and Federal agencies that would be affected by or would be needed to implement the
             program; indicates those government agencies and other organizations consulted during
             preparation of the program, and describes measures taken to assure local commitment to
             program implementation. A draft environmental impact statement (EIS) is prepared for the
             proposed local action of adopting the program.

             Next, the draft LV*rRP is submitted to the NYS Department of State with a resolution from
             the local governing body authorizing the submission. The Department of State, in turn,
             prepares a program summary and distributes copies of the summary and the draft LWRP to
             approximately 70 State and Federal agencies for their review and comment during a 60-day
             review period. Coincident with this review period, the local governing body provides for
             public review and comment on both the draft LVVRP and draft EIS.

             The Department of State then assists the local governing body in preparing a final EIS and a
             final LWRP which address comments received on the draft EIS and the draft LWRP. When
             the local governing body has adopted the final LWRP and has enacted any local regulatory
             measures needed to implement it, the NYS Secretary of State and the U.S. Office of Ocean
             and Coastal Resource Management are asked to approve the LWRP. Upon approval of the
             LWRP, all State and Federal agencies are required by law to undertake proposed actions in
             the local waterfront area in a manner that is consistent, to the maximum extent practicable,
             with the policies and purposes of the approved LWRP. The local government is similarly
             obligated by a local law enacted to assure consistency.








               Summga of the Village/Town LWRP_                   The eight sections of the Village of
               Morristown/Town of Morristown LWRP are summarized as follows:

               SECTION I-        WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION AREA BOUNDARY. The first
                                 section identifies and clarifies both the landward and waterside boundaries
                                 of the local waterfront area.


               SECTION II-       INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS. T11is section inventories and analyzes
                                 natural resources (water, land, vegetation, fish and wildlife and scenic
                                 resources), community/cultural resources (development, public access and
                                 recreation, historic and archeological resources and agricultural resources),
                                 existing land and water uses and important economic activities in the
                                 waterfront area.    For each category inventoried, the analysis discusses
                                 problems, issues and/or opportunities which should be addressed in later
                                 sections of the program.

               SECTION III-      WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM POLICIES. Section 1111
                                 lists the 44 NYS coastal policies under the headings Development Policies,
                                 Fish and Wildlife Policies, Flooding and Erosion Hazard Policies, General
                                 Policy, Public Access and Recreation Policies, Scenic Resources Policies,
                                 Agricultural Lands Policy, Energy and Ice Management Policies, and
                                 Water and Air Resources Policies. Of the 44 State coastal policies listed,
                                 40 are explained as applicable while 4 are identified as not applicable.
                                 Accompanying the State policies are 28 local policies aimed at providing
                                 greater specificity and additional coastal management capability. Where
                                 appropriate, guidelines are included to assist in applying the State and local
                                 policies.

               SECTION IV-       PROPOSED USES AND PROJECTS. Here, proposed future land and
                                 water uses are recommended for the Village and Town waterfront area. In
                                 the Village, the proposed land use pattern would generally reflect the
                                 existing zoning map, but with adjustments to reflect the availability of
                                 public sewage collection and treatment facilities, greater emphasis on small
                                 harbor development and promotion of highway-related commercial
                                 development near the eastern limits of the Village. Proposed land uses in
                                 the Town would mostly represent a continuation of existing uses, but with
                                 new emphasis on highway-related commercial development along NY
                                 Route 37 between the Village's eastern limits and English Settlement Road.

                                 Projects proposed in the Village consist of Bayside Park improvements, old
                                 windmill restoration, Main Street bridge removal (with at-grade street
                                 replacement) and bicycle/jogging path develoment. Bicycle/jogging path
                                 development along River Road is a proposed Town project.








            SECTION V-        TECHNIQUES FOR LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGAM.
                              This section describes the local laws and regulations, other public and
                              private actions, managment structures and financial resources necessary to
                              implement the LWRP. The section also describes additional local laws
                              which were specifically erected to implement the program, such as
                              amendments to the Village's zoning ordinance. The amendments to the
                              zoning regulations included the adjustment of zoning district boundaries to
                              reflect future land uses as proposed in Section IV, a waterfront review
                              (overlay) district, and site plan review regulations using the LWRP policies
                              as review criteriea. Town regulatory measures consist of the site plan
                              review regulations (with the LWRP policies as review criteriea) applied
                              just to the waterfront area and mobile home regulations.

                              Other Village and Town implementation measures are identified in this
                              section. They include: means of financing proposed projects, studies and
                              plans; management responsibilities of local officials; and, descriptions of
                              local and State/Federal consistency reviews.

            SECTION VI -      FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS LH<:ELY TO AFFECT
                              IMPLEMENTATION. This section identifies those State and Federal
                              agencies which must act consistently with the local program, once
                              approved, and those whose actions would be needed for the local
                              program's implementation.

            SECTION VII-      CONSULTATION WITH OTHER AFFECTED FEDERAL, STATE,
                              REGIONAL AND LOCAL AGENCIES. Section VII simply lists the
                              various agencies or organizations consulted regarding the preparation of
                              LWRP's in general or specifically, regarding the Village/Town program.

            SECTION VIII-     LOCAL COMMITMENT. This section briefly describes the process
                              undertaken to obtain local support for the program and commitment to its
                              implementation.

            Benefits of An Approved Program

            1.    The program establishes (through its various policies) means of both protecting and
                  enhancing local coastal resources within the framework of Village and Town
                  regulations, projects and other implementation techniques.

            2.    State and Federal agencies will be required by law to be consistent with the local
                  program's policies and purposes once it has been approved.

            3.    Financial and/or technical assistance will be provided, when available, by the NYS
                  Department of State to assist in implementation of the program.

               WATTRFRONT REMALIZATION AREA BOUNDARY









                      SECTION I- WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION AREA BOUNDARY

             The State's Coastal Management Program has established statewide coastal boundaries in
             accordance with the requirements of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended,
             and its implementing rules and regulations. The landward Coastal Area Boundary delineates the
             inland extent of the Town of Morristown and Village of Morristown waterfront areas -
             henceforth referred to jointly as the "local waterfront area." Since Town and Village authority
             to implement a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program is confined to the area within their
             respective corporate limits, it was necessary to define the waterside (riverward) extent of the
             local waterfront areas as wen. The existing landward and waterside boundaries are shown on
             Plates la, and lb. (The partial descriptions in quotes are excerpts from the NYS coastal Area
             Boundary description.)

                                      SECTION 11- INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS


              A two-stage process was used to inventory and analyze coastal resources and conditions within
              the local waterfront area. In the first stage, the waterfront was examined broadly to identify
              significant resources, associated problems and opportunities, applicable policies and expected
              means of policy implementation. Published reports, tax maps, the NYS Coastal Atlas, U.S.G.S.
              topographic maps, air photos, field investigations and discussions with the Town/Village
              Waterfront advisory committee provided the necessary information.                  An "Overview
              Memorandum" to the NYS Department of State (DOS) outlined the first stage results and
              provided scope for the overall Local Waterfront revitalization Program. Those resources and
              conditions identified in the memorandum as most significant were then examined in greater detail
              in the second stage of the inventory and analysis. The combined results from the two stages are
              presented below under the principal headings of NATURAL RESOURCES,
              COMMUNITY/CULTURAL RESOURCES, EXISTING LAND AND WATER USES, AND
              IMPORTANT ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES.


                                            PART I NATURAL RESOURCES


              A.     Water Resources.


                     1.      Inventory. (See Plates 2a and 2b). The principal surface waters of the local
                             waterfront area are the St. Lawrence River, Morristown Bay and Chippewa
                             Creek. Other surface drainage ways or intermittent streams are present but, of
                             these only Louce Creek'merits attention due to its relationship to Morristown
                             Bay.

                             a. St. Lawrence River. Flowing from southwest to northeast, the river defines
                             roughly 9 1h miles of shoreline in the waterfront, exclusive of islands. About I
                             mile of this shoreline lies within the Village, and perhaps 1/3 of that encompasses
                             Mo M'* stown Bay. Upstream from the bay, the river exhibits a slightly irregular
                             shoreline, numerous shoals, broad shallows (depths less than 18 ft.) and
                             occasional troughs (depths over 30 ft.). These characteristics are most evident
                             between the mainland and the American Islands. Downstream from Old Man
                             Island the shoreline is more regular and the littoral waters (shallows) are
                             generally narrow bands hugging the shore. Away from the shore, the bottom
                             drops off quickly to depths ranging from 40 ft. to over 90 ft. With the exception
                             of Bogardus Island (opposite the mouth of Morristown Bay), islands and shoals
                             are absent in this stretch of the river. All of the river within the local waterfront
                             area has a Class A (FN 1) water quality rating.

                             b. Morristown Bay. Morristown Bay is a narrow, 161h acre embayment open
                             to the deeper waters of the river. The Northumberland Street bridge crosses the
                             bay, dividing it into an outer (northerly) bay and inner (southerly) bay. With
                             depths ranging from 5 or 6 feet at the bridge to 18 feet or more at the mouth, the


                                                             11-3








                               outer bay is navigable by larger watercraft. On the other hand, the inner bay
                               becomes increasingly shallow as one moves towards its southerly end. Average
                               depths range from 2 to 4 feet. During the Spring and Fall, heavy surface runoff
                               flows into the southwest comer of the main bay via an intermittent stream known
                               locally*as Louce Creek. This seasonal inflow provides some cleansing action
                               such that a slightly deeper, though ill-defined channel is maintained along the
                               inner bay's westerly side. The overall water quality classification for Morristown
                               Bay is Class C. (FN2).

                               c. Chippewa Creek. This stream flows year-round through the middle of the
                               Town parallel but opposite to (northeast to southwest) the St. Lawrence River.
                               Eventually it empties into Chippewa Bay in the Town of Hammond. Only the
                               section of Chippewa Creek situated between Ireland Road and the Town's
                               southwestem boundary lies within the NYS Coastal Area. Its depth varies
                               seasonally with an average of about 2 feet, making it navigable only by canoe or
                               flat-bottomed boat. Chippewa. Creek has a water quality classification of Class
                               C.

                               d. Other surface waters. The remaining surface waters of the local waterfront
                               area consist of several intermittent streams or drainage- ways flowing directly into
                               the river or, in the case of Louce Creek (also known as Lossee Creek), into
                               Morristown Bay. While the others have water quality classifications of D(FN3)
                               due to very low flows, Louce Creek is classified C for a short distance upstream
                               from its mouth and a D classification further upstream. Louce Creek drains most
                               of the southern portion of the Village and a small area of the Town to the south
                               and southwest of the Village.

                               e. Groundwater. Groundwater is found in relative abundance via drilled wells
                               within the waterfront. Deep gravel beds and, more commonly, fractures and
                               seams in the underlying bedrock have supplied ample potable water to areas not
                               served by the Village's water distribution system. Wells usually reach water
                               between 50 and 125 feet below the surface. In a few cases, water is reached at
                               30 ft., and occasionally a well will prove artesian.

                       2. Analysis. (See Plates 3a and 3b). The water resources of the local waterfront area
                       are considered highly significant for the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.
                       Surface waters of the St. Lawrence River, Morristown Bay and Chippewa Creek offer
                       fish and wildlife habitats, opportunities for water-based recreational activity and,
                       consequently, the basis for a small but important tourism economy. The river serves as
                       the Village's water supply source whereas Morristown Bay provides a protected small
                       harbor as a focal point for tourism activity and waterfront development. Together, the
                       river and the bay define a distinctive coastal setting. Outside of the area served by the
                       Village's water system, groundwater is also a vital resource. Local officials, with input



                                                               11-4









                     from the Waterfront Advisory Committee, have identified the following problems, issues
                     and opportunities:

                             a. Septic system leachate. Development in the Town has relied entirely on
                             individual sewage disposal systems. Given the prevalence of shallow soils
                             overlying bedrock accompanied by seasonally highwater tables, it is also likely
                             that a fair number of these individual systems are unable to provide adequate
                             treatment, especially in areas where development is concentrated. Leachate from
                             some individual septic systems undoubtedly reaches the river with limited
                             cleansing from percolation. No other non-point sources of water pollution have
                             been identified.


                             b. Inner Morristown Bay stagnation. Inner Morristown Bay lacks sufficient
                             cleansing action from the river or from Louce Creek inflows to counteract the
                             rapid growth of aquatic vegetation. Local officials believe that deposition of silt
                             carried by Louce Creek and constriction by the Northumberland Street bridge are
                             responsible for the eutrophication. Water quality engineers from Region 6 of the
                             NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) attribute the stagnation
                             to the natural progression of the inner bay to emergent marsh. They concede,
                             however, that the factors cited by local officials could be accelerating the rate of
                             that progression.

                             C.   "Best usage" of surface waters. All of the existing water quality
                             classifications are deemed appropriate in terms of best "usage", with the
                             exception of outer Morristown Bay.          The St. Lawrence River should be
                             maintained as Class A since the Village draws its water supply from it. The
                             intake is located west of Chapman Point off the end of Caroline Street. Inner
                             Morristown Bay is a locally important area for fish propagation and, thus, should
                             retain its C classification. Louce Creek and the other surface drainage ways have
                             no value for consumption, recreation or propagation of fish species and should
                             remain as Class D. Outer Morristown Bay, on the other hand, is used for contact
                             recreation (swimming) off the Village's shoreline park. Its classification would
                             be more appropriate as Class B. The recently completed public sanitary sewer
                             system and a treatment plant should make the higher rating more tenable.

                             d. Reliance on groundwater. While the vast amount of water in the river faces
                             no measurable threat to water quality from individual septic systems, groundwater
                             supplies are more finite and face a potentially greater threat.               Heavy
                             concentrations of year-round or seasonal residences and uses requiring large
                             quantities of water or producing large volumes of effluent could jeopardize the
                             quality and, possibly, quantity of groundwater available to areas of existing
                             development. Waterfront areas not served by the Village's water system must be
                             wary of such concentrated development and major uses either as single projects



                                                             11-5









                                or as the collective results of long term development. No actual shortages or
                                groundwater contamination have been identified to date.

                                e. Other issues. No problems involving vessel wastes have been i               dentified.
                                Nevertheless, the Village is considering the potential for pumpout facilities at the
                                municipal docks. Such facilities could be tied directly into the recently completed
                                sewer system.

                                Dredging and dredge spoil disposal are likely to be an issue should any Village
                                or private development proposal involve dredging of inner Morristown Bay.
                                Dredging to maintain the ill-defined channel is a possibility, but unlikely proposal
                                due to costs. Blasting and dredging at Wright's Marina on the river around from
                                the downstream comer of the bay is much more likely. Although the work was
                                not undertaken, previous Corps of Engineers and DEC permits were issued.

                                As in many of the St. Uwrence River communities, the potential for oil spills
                                from tankers moving along the Seaway channel is a local concern. A major spill
                                in the section of river immediately upstream from Morristown could cause
                                significant damage to fish and wildlife habitats along the river and in Morristown
                                Bay. Swimming at Jacques Cartier State Park and at the village's shoreline park
                                would likewise be affected. The local tourism economy could be adversely
                                impacted if marinas, nearshore businesses and shoreline property owners had to
                                curtail activities and contend with clean-up of a spill.

                                Solid wastes do not pose a measurable threat to water quality in the local
                                waterfront area. In the Village municipal refuse collection is provided. Refuse
                                is hauled to a transfer site and taken to a landfill outside the coastal area by
                                private contractor. In the Town, the individual property owners take their refuse
                                directly to the transfer site.

                B.      AIR RESOURCES.


                Neither the Town nor the Village lies within an Air Quality Attainment Area. No air pollution
                problems or issues have been identified.

                C.      LAND RESOURCES


                        1.      Inventory. (See Plates 2a and 2b).

                                a. Bedrock Geology. The oldest underlying bedrock is Pre-cambrian granitic
                                rock of the Greenville Formation (igneous and metamorphosed rock) perhaps over
                                a billion years old and characteristic of the Frontenac Axis that underlies the
                                Thousand Islands region. Overlying this formation is the Potsdam Sandstone
                                Formation. Deposited in an inland sea over 500 million years ago, this formation


                                                                  11-6









                              contains the oldest Cambrian sedimentary rock in the area. Intermittent outcrops
                              of the Potsdam sandstone are present. Calcareous and dolomitic sandstone of the
                              Theresa Formation cover the Potsdam sandstone, and may be seen in local
                              outcrops. This formation was deposited during the late Cambrian and early
                              Ordovician Periods, 475 to 550 million years ago. Finally, the Ogdensburg
                              Dolomite Formation was deposited 450 to 500 million years ago during the
                              Ordovician Period. This type of bedrock is the dominant type of outcrop in the
                              area.


                              b. Surficial geology. The local waterfront area lies within the St. Lawrence
                              Lowlands surficial geological province. After a series of glacial advances and
                              retreats over the vicinity, the last period of glaciation (Wisconsin) gorged, carved
                              and shaped the present landform with a mantle of debris deposited as the glacial
                              masses melted away. This glacial debris is the principal parent material for area
                              soils. Isostatic rebound of the underlying bedrock after removal of the massive
                              weight of ice has uplifted the land at a rate of .75 to 1.00 feet per century.
                              Before rebounding to become land surfaces, post-glacial marine inundation
                              deposited fine-textured sediments in the calm waters of the St. Lawrence-
                              Champlain Gulf where freshwater and salt water met. This deposition produced
                              a general distribution of shallow, clay, soils overlying bedrock.

                              c. Soils. Extremely shallow, stony (or rocky) soils overlying bedrock and
                              frequent bedrock outcrops characterize vast areas of the local waterfront area.
                              These soils are generally 10 to 20 inches deep, excessively drained, moderately
                              permeable and subject to only slight erosion hazard. West of the Village they are
                              usually Insula-Rock Outcrop Complex (rolling), interspersed with small areas of
                              Insula fine sandy loam (very rocky), Benson-Gallo Outcrop Complex and Ruse
                              loam (poorly drained within slopes) accompanied by Benson-Gallo Outcrop
                              complex. Small pockets of loam, silt loam or fine sandy loam are scattered
                              around the waterfront, typically more inland of the shallow soils discussed above.
                              These loams are somewhat deeper, moderately well to somewhat poorly drained,
                              moderately permeable and have either slight or improbable erosion hazard. The
                              Galway, Hogansburg (stony fine sandy) and Newstead loams found on gentle
                              slopes (0-3 %) within and east of the Village's eastern boundary and in the area
                              of NY Route 37 and Scotch Bush Road are considered prime agricultural soils by
                              the USDA Soil Conservation Service.           The largest single area of prime
                              agricultural soils consists of the Muskellung Varient silt loam (0-3% slope) lying
                              within the southernmost portion of the State park.

                              d. Topography. As they were eventually uplifted, the bedrock surficial deposits
                              and overlying soil material produced a somewhat level to rolling terrain except
                              where sharp changes in elevation were associated with downward cutting of the
                              St. Lawrence River and variation in the underlying bedrock.              The most
                              pronounced topographic relief is found along the river west of the State Park and


                                                              11-7









                               within the Village east of Morristown Bay. All of the shoreline is characterized
                               by low-lying bluffs except a short high bluff stretch at the extreme westerly end
                               of the waterfront and two extremely small stretches of low plain.

                       2.      Analysis, (See Plates 3a and 3b). Associated with the land resources of the local
                               waterfront area are the following problems, issues and opportunities:

                               a. Limitations imposed by bedrock. Bedrock and rocky soils have posed
                               serious problems for construction of structures with basements and installation of
                               underground utilities. Storm sewers and water lines have usually been installed
                               only after substantial blasting. A vacuum sewage collection system was installed
                               in the Village to minimize the need for blasting over an extensive area.

                               b. Limitations imposed by shallow soils. The thin layer of soil material is
                               accompanied by a seasonally high water table such that no soil type in the local
                               waterfront area is considered suited to conventional septic systems. Much of the
                               waterfront has excessively drained, stony or rocky sandy loam where percolation
                               is too rapid to remove impurities adequately from septic system leachate.

                               c. Limitations imposed because of slope. Although generally steep slopes have
                               presented development obstacles near the river and the bay, only the steepest
                               slopes and very sharp elevation changes associated with outcropped and
                               underlying bedrock have been prohibitive to development. Numerous year-round
                               and seasonal residences hug the lesser slopes close to the river and have proven
                               gentle enough to permit the construction of River road to the west of Morristown
                               Bay and Riverview Drive to the east. Steeper slopes to the southerly or landward
                               side of these roads have typically discouraged development. Some of the slope
                               along the east side of the Morristown Bay has been covered by lawns and, in a
                               few cases, structures. Most of it, however, is undeveloped forest brushland (to
                               the south) or vacant, deteriorated waterfront (to the north) where the combination
                               of shallow depth to bedrock, previous lack of sewers, and steep slopes have
                               inhibited construction.


                               d. Use of prime agricultural soils. The prime agricultural soils in the local
                               waterfront area are neither extensive nor used significantly for agricultural
                               production. About one-half of the total distribution of these soils lies within the
                               State Park and the Village. Farming activity on the remainder is marginal at
                               best. Large tracts of prime agricultural soils can be found in the Town outside
                               the waterfront. Substantial farming occurs there. In spite of the limited extent
                               of prime farmland and small amount of actual farming, much of the land to the
                               south of NY Routes 12 and 37 lies within an agricultural district.

                               e. Erosion hazard. No soils within the waterfront have been identified as
                               subject to serious erosion hazard. From a 1977 shoreline study conducted by the


                                                              11-8









                              St. Lawrence-Eastern Ontario Commission (FN4), a 500 foot segment just west
                              of Chapman Point was pointed out as historically demonstrating some shoreline
                              erosion. Local officials, however, note that this area does not currently appear
                              to be subject to active shoreline erosion. Because of the very rocky nature of the
                              St. Lawrence River shoreline along this area of the River, shoreline erosion is not
                              an issue for the Morristown waterfront area. Wind driven wave and ice action,
                              however, does present problems for man-made shoreline structures.

                              f. Flood1mg. A very narrow strip along the entire shoreline is subject to flooding
                              according to its designation as Flood Hazard Area (floodplain) under the National
                              Flood Insurance Program. Little variation in the width of the floodplain is
                              evident in either the Town or Village except for a slight increase in its extent
                              along the river north of Ann Street and near the southeast comer of inner
                              Morristown Bay, west from Montgomery Street. The widest floodplain in the
                              local waterfront area lies in the Town along Chippewa Creek. No actual flood
                              damage to structures or other property has been identified. The shoreline
                              cottages are typically located above the floodplain, resting over the flatter, raised
                              bedrock foundation. Of the few structures situated within the floodplain, most
                              consist of docks, piers and boathouses.

                              g. Elevated views. The dramatic contrast in elevations near the shoreline has
                              created opportunities for elevated views of the river. Such views are discussed
                              in greater detail under Scenic Resources, later in this section.

              D. VEGETATION


                      1.      InventoM.- (See Plates 4a and 4b).

                              a. Forest. Substantial areas of forest vegetation are found within the Town's
                              waterfront along NY Route 37. West of the Village, the larger stands of mature
                              trees (mostly deciduous with pociets; of conifers) cover lands east of Atwood
                              Road and in the vicinity of Jacques Cartier State Park. To the east of the Village,
                              most of the area south of NY Route 37 is forested, as is a smaller area east of
                              English Settlement Road. One sizeable stand of trees traverses the Village's
                              western boundary.

                              b. Forest brushland. Excluding developed areas along the river and in the
                              Village and further excluding the few active agricultural lands and vacant or
                              inactive agricultural lands, most of the non-forested area falls into the forest
                              brushland category. Meadow grasses, thickets of woody shrubs, saplings and
                              scattered mature trees are prevalent. The most extensive portions of waterfront
                              with forest brushlands lie between the State Park and the Village's western
                              boundary and straddling the village's eastern boundary.



                                                              11-9








                               c. Wetlands. A series of relatively small wetlands lie at various points along
                               the south sides of NY Routes 37 and 12 and to the south and west of Morristown
                               Bay. The largest single wetland follows Chippewa Creek west of Ireland Road.
                               On the other hand, the smallest wetland area is found along the shallows at the
                               south end of Morristown Bay. Although too small to be included as a designated
                               wetland pursuant to the Wetlands Act and 7 NYCRR Parts 661 through 664, this
                               wetland is important for the wildlife habitat it provides and the removal of
                               sediment and impurities entering the south end of the bay.

                               d. Aquatic vegetation. As noted previously, the growth of aquatic plants in the
                               portion of Morristown Bay has been profuse. The dense submerged plant life and
                               proliferation of floating species bear witness to the extent of eutrophication there.
                               The depth of water over the submerged aquatic plants increases progressively
                               from the Northumberland Street bridge to the mouth. of the bay. Beyond the
                               mouth, aquatic vegetation diminishes rapidly as depths exceed 18 feet, water and
                               shoal areas offshore from the westem part of the waterfront host vast weedbeds
                               where the height, density and variety of aquatic plants likewise decrease with
                               greater depths. Narrower bands of weedbeds hug the shoreline of the local
                               waterfront areas east of Morristown Bay.

                       2.      Analysis. (See Plates 5a and 5b). With the exception of inner Morristown Bay,
                               the vegetation of the waterfront area involves opportunities as opposed to
                               problems or issues.

                               a.      Eutrophication of inner Morristown         Bay. Local officials view the
                               eutrophication of the inner bay as more than a     natural progression to emergent
                               marsh. Siltation and constriction by the bridge crossing are thought to compound
                               the problem of low inflows from Louce Creek. Fishing activity within this part
                               of the bay has declined progressively as a result of the increased difficulty boats
                               have encountered in navigating the heavy weed growth.

                               b. Opportunities presented by forest and forest brushland areas. The
                               forested lands in the vicinity of the State Park provide opportunities for camping,
                               hiking, hunting and other outdoor recreation activities. These and other wooded
                               properties of the local waterfront area also contribute to the natural beauty of the
                               coastal setting, sustain the rural character in general and support various species
                               of birds and small game.        Forest brushlands, on the other hand, provide
                               somewhat contrasting openness and additional wildlife habitat. Given the extent
                               of shallow, stony soils, the numerous bedrock outcrops, the limited development
                               pressure and the marginal level of agricultural activity within the waterfront, the
                               natural progression of meadow and shrubs to forests is likely to continue.






                                                               H-10









                             c. Opportunities afforded by wetlands. In general, the wetlands within the
                             local waterfront area offer wildlife habitat, slow the rate of surface runoff,
                             provide groundwater recharge and remove sediment and impurities from the
                             waters passing through them. Hunting, trapping, bird watching and hiking
                             activities are made possible by these resources. The south end of Morristown
                             Bay -though not a designated wetland - and the Chippewa Creek wetland are
                             particularly important as fish and wildlife habitat areas.


                             d. Designated wetlands. (see Plates 5a and 5b.) Pursuant to the N"YS
                             Freshwater Wetlands Act ( Environmental Conservation Law, Article 24), the
                             NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has filed the final wetlands maps
                             for St. Lawrence County. Portions of three of the designated wetlands lie within
                             the Town's waterfront area, and a portion of one of the designated wetlands lies
                             within the Village's waterfront area. The significance of these four wetland areas
                             is indicated below by their classifications and sizes.

                                     I      HA-2. This Class II Wetland follows Chippewa Creek west of
                                            Ireland Road. In total, this open water, emergent marsh wetland
                                            is comprised of 402 acres and is the third largest in the County.
                                            Less than one-quarter of it is within the Town of Morristown
                                            Local Waterfront Area.


                                     2.     MT-1. This Class III deciduous wetland is located approximately
                                            three-quarters of a mile east of Atwood Road and adjacent to
                                            Route 12. Approximately one-quarter of the 24 acres in this
                                            wetland is located within the Town of Morristown Local
                                            Waterfront area.


                                     3.     MT-5. This Class Il wetland is bisected by Route 37 just east of
                                            the southern entrance ( Main Street) to the Village. This wetland
                                            contains 29 acres in total, approximately one-third of which is
                                            located within the Village of Morristown Local Waterfront Area.

                                     4.     EV-1. This Class III deciduous swamp wetland is visible from
                                            Route 37 (Seaway Trail) approximately one-third of a mile east of
                                            English Settlement Road.        In total, it contains 40 acres,
                                            approximately one-quarter of which is located within the Town of
                                            Morristown Local Waterfront Area.


              E.      FISH AND WILDLIFE


                      1.     InventoM. (See Plates 4a and 4b). A variety of fish and wildlife species
                             common to the St. Lawrence River Valley and the western portion of St.









                              Lawrence County are present in the local waterfront area. Discussions with the
                              Waterfront Advisory Committee, consultation with representatives of the
                              Department of Environmental Conservation (Region 6) and review of the Oil Spil
                              Reslmnse Model II- St. Lawrence River (SLEOC, 1984) identified general habitat
                              areas and their associated species as outlined below. Other habitat characteristics
                              were previously described under A. Water Resources, B. Land Resources, and
                              C. Vegetation.

                              a. Mammals. Of the two dozen species of mammals which may be found
                              within the waterfront, almost all are represented within the Chippewa Creek
                              Marsh and Jacques Cartier State Park. The more common of these species ---
                              Eastern Cottontail, Eastern Chipmunk, Gray Squirrel, Meadow Vole, Porcupine,
                              Coyote, Raccoon, Ermine, Striped Skunk, Muskrats, Mink, Beaver, Otter, and
                              White-Tailed Deer --- are widely distributed over the Morristown mainland. Rare
                              occurrences of southern flying squirrel and northern flying squirrel are associated
                              with Chippewa Creek Marsh. The islands are largely devoid of mammal
                              populations.

                              b. Birds. A total of 193 species of birds and water fowl has been documented
                              within the Village/Town of Morristown area. Individual species vary greatly in
                              frequency and seasonality of occurrence, and in the varying types of habitat
                              occupied. Logically, the greatest frequencies of occurrence is associated with the
                              spring and fall migrations of species. Occurrences of species breeding locally are
                              generally limited to the following: Great Blue Heron, Green-backed Heron,
                              Canada goose, Mallard, Wood Duck, Blue Winged Teal, Red-Tailed Hawk,
                              Killdeer, Spotted Sandpiper, Ring-billed Gull, Herring Gull, Wood-Peewee,
                              Eastern King bird, Purple Martin, Rook Dove, Chimney Swift, Northern Flicker,
                              Eastern Bam Swallow, Tree Swallow, Bank Swallow, Blue Jay, American Crow,
                              Black-Capped Chickadee, House Wern, Marsh Wern, Veery, Wood Thrush,
                              American Robin, Gray Catbird, Cedar Waxwing, European Starling, Red-eyed
                              Vireo, Yellow Warbler, American Restart, Common Yellowthroat, Rose-breasted
                              Grosbeak, Field Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Swamp Sparrow,
                              Bobolink, Red-Winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, Brown-headed Cowbird,
                              Northern Oriole, American Gold Finch House Sparrow, American Bittern, pied
                              bill grebel, Northern Harrier, American Kestral, Common Moorehen, Great
                              Homed owl, and Belted Kingfisher. The Common Tern and Northern Harrier
                              which are designated as threatened species, and the pied-billed grebe, American
                              widgeon and Gadwall which are listed under the Natural Heritage Program.

                      2.      Analysis: Chippewa Creek Marsh, Jacques Cartier State Park, the Morristown
                              Mainland and Blackstone Bay host the greatest diversity of species. Areas that
                              have fewer, but still notable, numbers of species are American Island, Bogardus
                              Island, Old Man Island, Morristown Bay, Brockville Rock, Morristown Point
                              (aka Merry's Point) and the Brooks Point/Perch Bay areas. The American Island


                                                             11-12









                             Pools, and the shoreline from Birch Point/Blackstone Bay area to the Jacques
                             Cartier State Park area, are noteworthy and important winter roosting and feeding
                             sites for the American Bald Eagle.

                             a. Reptiles and Amphibians. The species documented within the Village/Town
                             of Morristown's LWRP area are the Red-Backed salamander, American toad,
                             Sprug Peeper, Grey Tree frog, Western Chorus frog, Bull frog, Green frog,
                             Wood frog, Northern Leopard frog, Snapping turtle, Map turtle, Midland Painted
                             turtle, Northern Watersnake, Northern Brown snake, Eastern Garter snake, and
                             Eastern Ribbon snake. All of the above species are found within the Chippewa
                             Creek Marsh Area. Several species may also be found within the Jacques Cartier
                             State Park, Morristown Mainland, Morristown Point, Morristown Bay and
                             Bogardus Island areas.

                             b. Fish. Forty species of fish have been documented within the local waterfront
                             areas.  Commonly found species include Fall fish, White Sucker, Brown
                             Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Banded Killifish, Rock Bass, Small Mouth Bass,
                             Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Bluegill, Yellow Perch, Bowfin, American eel,
                             Alewife, Gizzard Shad, Rainbow Smelt, Northern Pike, Carp, Golden Shiner,
                             Emerald Shinner, Spottail Shiner and Blunt Nose Minnow. Walleye are found
                             in lesser numbers. The down river sides of Point Comfort and Point Delark
                             (Jacques Cartier State Park have documented Muskellunge spawning and rearing
                             sites. The largest number of species are again found within the Chippewa Creek
                             Marsh, however, substantial numbers may be found in the shallows and open
                             waters of Jacques Cartier State Park, Morristown Bay, Old Man Island,
                             Morristown Point, down river of Point Comfort, and the Perch Bay - Brooks
                             Point area.


                     3.      Habitat Assessment.

                             Each habitat is discussed below in terms of its significance and any problems,
                             issues, or opportunities associated with it:

                             a. Chippewa Creek Marsh. (See Figure lb.) Chippewa Creek is a tributary
                             of the mid-St. Lawrence River, located in the Towns of Hammond and
                             Morristown, St. Lawrence County (7.5' Quadrangles: Chippewa Bay, N.Y.; and
                             Hammond, N.Y.). The fish and wildlife habitat extends inland approximately
                             five miles from the north end of Chippewa Bay, encompassing an approximated
                             650 acre strearnside wetland and some adjacent uplands. The habitat is divided
                             into two relatively discrete areas' at Oak Point Road, where the marsh becomes
                             relatively narrow. Chippewa Creek is a sizable warmwater stream, with a broad
                             floodplain, occupied by extensive emergent marsh communities (predominantly
                             cattail). The drainage area of Chippewa Creek is small, and little flow is
                             discernible during the summer. Maximum water depths of approximately 10 feet


                                                           11-13









                               occur in the lower creek channel. Water levels throughout the area are generally
                               continuous with those of the St. Lawrence River, butfluctuations may be affected
                               by the narrow channel opening under N.Y. S. Route 12. Upland areas bordering
                               Chippewa Creek Marsh are rural in nature including forestland, abandoned fields,
                               active agricultural lands, and low density residential development. The wetland
                               area above Oak Point Road is essentially undisturbed, whereas downstream some
                               habitat disturbances are evident, including livestock grazing, light residential
                               development, use of motor boats on the creek, and the occurrence of an oil spill
                               in the vicinity in 1976. All of Chippewa Creek Marsh, including the mouth area
                               at Chippewa Bay, is privately owned.

                               Chippewa Creek Marsh is one of about four very large, undeveloped, strearnside
                               wetland ecosystems along the St. Lawrence River. This extensive marsh habitat
                               has a high degree of interspersion of wetland vegetation, open water, and
                               uplands, creating favorable conditions for many fish and wildlife species. Human
                               disturbances in the lower half of the area are limited, but may be adversely
                               affecting its potential value to certain species. Chippewa Creek Marsh is a
                               productive nesting area for a variety of waterfowl and other marsh birds,
                               including pied-billed grebe, American bittern, mallard, black duck, blue-winged
                               teal, wood duck, gadwall, northern harrier M, Virginia rail, sora, common
                               moorhen, belted kingfisher, marsh wren, red-winged blackbird, and swamp
                               sparrow. Least bittern (SC) and black term (SC) have been observed in the area,
                               but breeding has not been confirmed. Great blue heron, green-backed heron,
                               osprey (T), and common tern M often feed in the area during the breeding
                               season, but the extent of their use is not well documented. Chippewa Creek
                               Marsh is considered one of about ten principal areas on the St. Lawrence River
                               that are used by concentrations of waterfowl (dabbling ducks, primarily) for
                               feeding and resting during spring and fall migrations.         However, data on
                               population levels in the marsh are not available. Other wildlife species inhabiting
                               the area include raccoon, beaver, muskrat, various frogs, northern water snake,
                               snapping turtle, and painted turtle. [Note - M indicates a threatened species, while
                               (SC) indicates a special concern species.]

                               Extensive beds of submergent and emergent aquatic vegetation in Chippewa Creek
                               Marsh serve as valuable fish spawning and nursery habitats. The area is used for
                               spawning by a wide variety of warmwater fish species. Chippewa Creek is one
                               of the most productive fisheries in St. Lawrence County, especially for northern
                               pike, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, white sucker, and a variety of panfish,
                               such as pumpkinseed, rock bass, and black crappie.

                               The abundance and diversity of fish and wildlife species in Chippewa Creek
                               Marsh provide potential opportunities for various human uses of the area.
                               However, most of the marsh is relatively inaccessible and privately owned,
                               limiting public recreational use. Waterfowl hunting, fishing, and trapping attract


                                                              11-14









                               some local residents to the area. In addition, fisheries production in Chippewa
                               Creek marsh contributes significantly to the year-round recreational fishing
                               activity in Chippewa Bay.

                               Any activity that would substantially degrade water quality, increase turbidity or
                               sedimentation, reduce water levels, alter flows, or increase water level
                               fluctuations in Chippewa Creek Marsh could adversely affect a variety of fish and
                               wildlife species. Discharges of sewage or stormwater runoff containing sediments
                               or chemical pollutants (including fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides) may result
                               in adverse impacts on fish and wildlife resources in the area. Spills of oil or
                               other hazardous substances are a potentially serious threat to fish and wildlife in
                               Chippewa Creek Marsh and every effort should be made to prevent such
                               contamination. Elimination of wetland habitats, or significant human disturbance
                               of the area, through dredging, filling, construction of roads, waste disposal, or
                               motorboat access development, could severely reduce its value to fish and
                               wildlife. Channelization would reduce stream channel diversity, and result in a
                               direct loss of valuable habitat area. However, habitat management activities,
                               including water level management, may be designed to maintain or enhance
                               populations of certain fish or wildlife species. Any significant disturbance of
                               Chippewa Creek Marsh would be especially detrimental during fish spawning and
                               nursery periods ( March-July for most warmwater species) and wildlife breeding
                               seasons (April - July for most species). Barriers to fish migration in the creek,
                               whether physical or chemical could have a significant effect on fish population
                               within the marsh and in Chippewa Bay. Existing areas of natural vegetation
                               bordering Chippewa Creek Marsh should be maintained for their value as cover
                               for wildlife, perch sites, and buffer zones. Efforts should be made to reduce
                               stream disturbance by agricultural activities, especially grazing, through fencing
                               and restoration of riparian vegetation. Development of additional public access
                               may be desirable to increase compatible human use of the marsh, but must be
                               designed to minimize disturbance of sensitive fish and wildlife species that occur
                               in the area.


                               No specific problems face this area at present. As a waterway of New York State
                               and a designated wetland, the marsh receives direct protection under State law
                               (FN 5). In absence of development pressure, the environs adjacent to the marsh
                               have remained as a forested buffer to the marsh itself. Beyond the forested area
                               lie farmlands.


                               Substantial clearing of the forested area, deposition of silt and sediments from
                               upland erosion, introduction of contaminants into the stream and general
                               disturbance from intensive land use activities could severely impact the marsh
                               habitat if future development were to occur in the buffer without controls.

                               The marsh and adjoining uplands provide opportunities for hunting, trapping,


                                                               11-15









                              fishing and bird watching by land (with permission of the private landowners) or
                              by water (canoe or flat-bottomed boat).

                              b. American Island Pools. (See Figure Ia.) American Island Pools is located
                              in the mid-St. Lawrence River, approximately four and one-half miles southwest
                              of the Village of Morristown, in the Town of Morristown, St. Lawrence County
                              (7.5' Quadrangle: Morristown, N.Y.). The fish and wildlife habitat is an
                              approximately acre area of the main river channel that remains partially open
                              (i.e., ice-free) throughout the winter. The pools are quite consistent in presence
                              and extent during most winters. The St. Lawrence River is relatively shallow
                              (generally less than 20 feet deep) and narrow at this location, resulting in strong
                              currents and considerable turbulence. Bottom substrates are rocky and have
                              minimal vegetative cover. American Island, located near the center of the
                              habitat, is a small, uninhabited rock covered with mature woody vegetation.

                              American Island Pools is an area containing relatively large, open water pools
                              during the ice-in season. The pools are an unusual ecosystem type and function
                              similar to the polynas found in the arctic. The productivity of the pools is due
                              to the open waters which attract water birds and water fowl, which creates a
                              fertilization that attracts feed fish, which attract the birds, etc. During much of
                              the year, fish and wildlife use of the area is not significantly different than
                              elsewhere in the river. However, during the winter months (December-March),
                              the pools attract major concentrations of migratory birds.            Of particular
                              significance is the presence of wintering bald eagles (E) in the area. This is the
                              principal area on the St. Lawrence River (in New York) where eagles are most
                              frequently noted in winter.      Bald eagles have been reported in the area for
                              several years, with as many as ten observed there at one time (e.g., in January
                              1986). American Island is a primary roosting site for the eagles. American
                              Island Pools also harbors substantial concentrations of waterbirds, waterfowl, and
                              gulls during most winters. Mid-winter aerial surveys of waterfowl abundance for
                              the period 1977-1986 indicate average concentrations of approximately 800 birds
                              in the area between Ogdensburg and Chippewa Bay each year (2,715 in peak
                              year), dominated by mergansers and common goldeneye. American Island Pools
                              is a primary concentration area for these wintering waterfowl populations, which
                              are among the largest on the St. Lawrence River. There are no significant human
                              uses associated with the wildlife resources of this area.


                              Any activity that would substantially degrade water quality, alter river flows or
                              ice formation, or increase human disturbance at American Island Pools could
                              adversely affect fish and wildlife use of this area. Winter navigation use of the
                              St. Lawrence Seaway could be an especially serious threat to the area, as a result
                              of flow diversion, shipping traffic in the vicinity, and increased risk of spills of
                              oil or other hazardous substances. Major physical alteration to the river channel,
                              through dredging or installation of diversion structures (including water supply


                                                              11-16









                              intakes) could enhance ice formation around American Island and impact critical
                              wildlife feeding areas. Introduction of toxic chemicals from upstream sources
                              may also affect bird populations using these pools.           Thermal discharges,
                              depending on time of year, may have variable effects on use of the area by
                              aquatic species and migratory birds. Human disturbances around American Island
                              Pools should be minimized from December through March.

                              c. Bogardus Island. This island habitat is significant as a breeding area for
                              Herring Gulls and Common Tem. Common Tem is included on the New York
                              State list of threatened species, yet occurs commonly here.       Although Herring
                              Gulls are not identified as rare, endangered or threatened, their populations are
                              declining from poor reproduction and survival rates due to toxics absorbed and
                              from competition for food with other species such as the over abundant Ring-
                              Billed Gulls. Two issues relate to the Bogardus Island habitat: potential impacts
                              from oil spills and bioaccumulation of toxic chemicals. The former issue involves
                              threats to short-term survival; the latter affects longer term ability of the species
                              to reproduce.

                              d. Morristown Bay. In addition to the problem of eutrophication explained
                              earlier, siltation of the bay is increasing its shallowness and decreasing its
                              navigability. The silt originates from the erosion of tilled soils off inland farms,
                              and is carried by Louce Creek into the slow moving waters of the bay where it
                              settles out. The resultant stagnation of the inner bay is undoubtedly altering the
                              habitat characteristics there to the detriment of fish species dependent upon
                              fresher waters. While the inner bay still offers opportunities for fishing and
                              trapping, such activities are becoming increasingly difficult as navigability is
                              impeded by bottom silts and heavy weed growth. The sole means of access to
                              the inner bay's fish and wildlife resources is by water.

                              e. Jacques Cartier State Park. The State Park (lands and offshore waters)
                              provides habitat for numerous fish and wildlife species. Public ownership
                              protects the landward habitat areas from most development impacts. Potential oil
                              spills and bioaccumulation of toxic chemicals are again the principal issues
                              regarding the riverward habitat.

                              Limited and remotely located docking restrict to some extent the use of the single
                              asphalt boat launch ramp and, thus, recreational access to the offshore fish
                              habitats. No other problems have been identified. Two duck blinds are provided
                              along the shoreline for waterfowl hunters' use in the Fall.

                              f. Perch Bay. This habitat is important locally for Northern pike and perch
                              fishing. Public access to the bay is by water only since the shoreline there is

                              entirely private. As in the other river habitats, potential oil spills and


                                                              11-17










                              bioaccumulation of toxic chemicals are concerns.


                              g. Birch Point (Blackstone Bay to Jacques Cartier State Park. This area of
                              approximately 3 1/4 miles of shoreline has been identified as roosting and feed
                              site for Bald Eagles. Additionally, the shoals off Point Comfort have been
                              documented as nesting sites for the threatened Common Tern, and the water just
                              down river from Point Comfort has been identified as a muskellunge spawning
                              and rearing site. The shoreline is characterized by a near shore bluff topography
                              intermittently cut by small stream gullies. The vegetation is generally wood
                              brushland interspersed with stands of developed conifers.          It is the above
                              combination of topography and vegetation that attracts the Eagles. Development
                              in this area is generally shoreline seasonal cottages and is confined to the near
                              shore base of the bluff areas. This area of local significance would be very
                              sensitive to the impact of future development. Although future development
                              demand upon this area is forecasted to be light, considerable concern should be
                              exercised to maintain the viability of these habitats. The potential for oil spills
                              and the bio-accumulation of toxics are principal issues, however, the disturbance
                              of the bluff vegetation may severely damage the attractiveness of the area for the
                              Eagles.

               F.     Scenic Resources.


                      1.      InventgM. (See Plates 4a and 4b). The St. Lawrence River and Morristown
                              Bay are the foremost scenic resources of the local waterfront area. As an eastern
                              gateway to the Thousand Islands region, the local waterfront area encompasses
                              a section of the river best described as transitional: islands, shoals, and shallows
                              upstream and deep water generally without islands and shoals downstream. Sharp
                              changes in elevation near the shoreline have created numerous vantage points
                              from which these resources can be observed. However, the vast majority of such
                              points are from privately owned lands (cottages) strung out along the shoreline
                              both east and west of the Village of Morristown. Vistas accessible to the public
                              are limited to the following:

                              a. Views along NYS Routes 12 and 37. NY Route 12 parallels the St.
                              Lawrence River between the Villages of Clayton and Morristown. East of
                              Alexandria Bay, the highway offers motorists a scenic landscape with occasional
                              vistas of the river, its bays, and coastal wetlands. The portion of NY Route 12
                              lying within the local waterfront area provides only one view of the river near
                              Blackstone Bay. While the view of Blackstone Bay is moderately significant
                              (FN6), its duration is limited to a short stretch of highway where a break in
                              heavy foliage coincides with a drop in elevation along an intermittent
                              drainageway. Nevertheless, the highway provides motorists with sweeping views
                              of the irregular and rolling terrain, bedrock outcrops, pockets of forest and small

                             wetlands, and farms. NY Route 37, in the southeastern part of the Village,
                             presents a continuation of the NY Route 12 scenic corridor.

                             b. Views from Jacques Cartier State Park. Open vistas to the St. Lawrence
                             River are found along the 2100 feet of shoreline and at a few points inland from
                             the shore in the State Park. Delack Point, the westerly shoreline of the park, is
                             a designated picnic area with adjacent (landward) parking.

                             c. Views from River Road. Intermittent views of the river are possible at
                             various points along River Road. Such views are usually of short duration,
                             coinciding with gaps in the nearly continuous line of shoreline cottages.

                             d. View from Chapman Park. From this newly developed Wage park, broad
                             expanses of the river can be viewed. The view overlooks the upper parts of trees
                             and houses closer to the water (at lower elevations), encompasses outer
                             Morristown Bay and stretches to the City of Brockville, Ontario on the Canadian
                             side of the river. The best vantage point for scenic views is at the top of the old
                             stone windmill located along the westerly edge of the park.

                             e. View from the intersection of Morris and Governor Streets. With similar
                             views of the bay and the river, this intersection is also an excellent vista point.

                             f. View from Main Street. Occasional views of outer Morristown Bay are
                             presented to motorists and pedestrians moving along the northern section of Main
                             Street (the Village's commercial area). The best of such views is from the west
                             side of Main Street in the vicinity of Morris Street. From Main Street's northern
                             end the river can be seen with Wright's Marina in the foreground.

                             g. View from Bayside Park. A close hand view of the entire outer Morristown
                             Bay as it widens to the mouth and a vista of the open river beyond are two of the
                             most attractive features of Bayside Park between Water Street and the bay. The
                             near view is highlighted by boating activity in the bay, shoreline fishing and the
                             openness of the bay's western shore. To the east (away from the bay), the view
                             takes in Water Street and the dramatic rise of the waterfront from Water Street
                             up to Main Street.

                             h. Image. Community character or image can also be considered a scenic
                             resource which contributes to the overall quality of life shared by those who dwell
                             in or near the waterfront. Indeed, the coastal ambiance is typically a mainstay
                             of any local tourism economy.

                             In the Town of Morristown, the waterfront character derives from three principal
                             features: the undeveloped rural setting inland (rolling, tree covered lands studded
                             with bedrock outcrops), peaceful summer vacation areas (single, continuous row


                                                            11-23








                               of cottages occupying the shoreline west and east of the Village, physically
                               isolated from further development inland by the sharply elevated terrain on the
                               southerly side of the narrow roads serving them), and tourist travel (NY Route
                               12 Scenic Highway west of the Village and a number of motels and restaurants
                               along NY route 37 east of the Village).

                               The waterfront character of the Village derives from four notable features: the
                               bayside setting (alignment of Main and Governor Streets paralleling the north-
                               south axis of the bay with crossing sidestreets climbing precipitously up from
                               lower elevations closer to the bay shoreline), the single axis character of Main
                               Street itself (entry from NY Route 37 at the south end and the transition northerly
                               from sparse residential, to more urban residential, to mixed uses and, finally, the
                               primary commercial stretch toward the north end), the riverside influence
                               (Chapman Street entering from NY Route 37, following the terrain westerly to
                               converge with the north end of Main Street above Wright's Marina), and the
                               historic character vested in the more heavily developed and older aim of the
                               Village).

                       2.      Analysis. (See Plates 5a and 5b). Of the scenic resources        inventoried, those
                               which bear local significance for this program are the views along the NY Route
                               12 Scenic Highway and a portion of NY Route 37; the vistas at Jacques Cartier
                               State Park, Chapman Park, Main street and Bayside Park; and the image of the
                               Village waterfront. The view from the intersection of Morris and Governor
                               Streets is noteworthy, but steep road grade, lack of parking and, thus, traffic
                               safety concerns limit potential value of this vista point. Private ownership and
                               lack of roadside parking similarly preclude serious consideration of River Road
                               as a primary scenic vista area.

                               Problems, issues and opportunities pertaining to the significant scenic resources
                               include the following:

                               a.     Sign control along the Town of Morristown stretch of NY Route 12
                               Scenic Highway is presently regulated only by those measures of the NYS
                               Department of Transportation. This stretch of State highway is at present
                               basically free of billboards and other advertising clutter that detract greatly from
                               other tourism communities in the Thousand Island region.             Realizing the
                               importance of signage to the future economic growth and development of
                               Morristown and also realizing the importance and value of the areas scenic quality
                               to that growth and development, Morristown realizes the development of, and
                               adherence to, comprehensive signage legislation. The threat of degradation exists
                               not only from within Morristown, but from other nearby communities as the
                               competition for tourists revenues increases. Comprehensive signage legislation
                               will assist in providing signage that will enhance and not detract from this stretch
                               of scenic highway.


                                                              11-24









                             b.      Protection of views from Jacques Cartier State Park. No problems or
                             issues are known to confront these views. The protection afforded by the NYS
                             office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) through normal
                             operation and maintenance is adequate. Opportunities to enjoy the river vista
                             there could be expanded through expansion of local tourism in general and
                             development of better linkages to the scenic resources of the Village via an
                             interconnecting bicycle and pedestrian path.

                             C.      Enhancement and protection of the Chapman Park vistas. Local
                             efforts to improve Chapman Park have provided playground facilities, landscaping
                             and parking. While the elevated vista from the old windmill would not be easily
                             blocked by new structures on the lower lying lands between the park and the
                             shoreline, grade level views could be obscured by new development. Since the
                             views of the bay and river enhance the recreation and relaxation values of the
                             park, the park vistas should be a concern during any future reviews of
                             development plans for properties lying in the view span.

                             d.      Enhancement and protection of views from Main Street. As
                             revitalization and economic development are promoted, infill development will
                             undoubtedly restrict the several open views of the bay along the northerly end of
                             Main Street. The siting of new structures, landscaping and access should retain
                             a portion of the existing vistas as open area, framing and enhancing the view
                             where possible. Actual revitalization improvements should address a small
                             number of dilapidated and deteriorated structures which lie in the foreground of
                             the Main Street vistas and detract from their scenic and tourism values.


                             e.      Enhancement and protection of vistas at the Bayside Park. The views
                             from this park are perhaps the best in the Village because of their extent and
                             proximity to the water. Although a deteriorated boathouse and vacant, overgrown
                             shoreline lie immediately to the north of the park, current proposals for new
                             development there may rectify such problems. Private property immediately
                             south of the park and directly across the bay reflect adequate maintenance and
                             enhance the view of the bay. The view away from the water (toward Main
                             Street) may be the greatest detriment to the total scenic resource value of the park
                             site. (See discussion of Village waterfront character, below.)


                             f.      1mage improvements. No identifiable problems or issues confront the
                             three basic visual features forming the character of the Town. However, if
                             tourism were to increase substantially in the Town, the visual quality along NY
                             Route 37 east of the Village might become a concern. Uncontrolled placement
                             of advertising signs, extensive removal of forest and forest brushland and
                             unsightly strip development could jeopardize the character along this route. The
                             present limited extent of frontage development along NY Route 37 represents an


                                                             11-25









                              opportunity to guide the siting of new tourism and non-tourism related facilities
                              in a manner which enhances community image.

                              In the Village of Morristown, two waterfront features facing serious problemsor
                              issues are the image of Main Street and orientation to the bay. At the southern
                              end of Main Street, dilapidated structures and deteriorated road conditions
                              foretell the economic ill-health within. Passing more stable, basically sound
                              residences is a mixed use area with several deteriorated structures. In the
                              commercial area, are a handful of small businesses and public or semi-public
                              facilities, a few vacant properties, and a number of deteriorated structures that
                              reflect the general lack of vitality. A number of older structures - some with
                              historical significance - add to the coastal community character. Yet, since
                              capital reinvestment is lacking, these older structures also show deterioration and
                              give testimony to the economic decline from former times.                    Pacade
                              improvements, stabilization of older structures, street improvements, new infill
                              development of small businesses, landscaping and street furniture are needed to
                              strengthen the Main Street image.         Rehabilitation of older structures and
                              construction of new buildings will both warrant attention to the present scale,
                              density, texture and form of development along the Village's primary street near
                              its commercial core.


                              In spite of its orientation to Morristown Bay, the area between Main Street and
                              the bay (north of Northumberland Street) represents the foremost area of
                              deterioration, underutilization and detrimental image within the waterfront.
                              Inadequate access, abandonment of rail service, removal of rail lines, and the
                              demise and disappearance of local industry have left much of this area a
                              wasteland. A restaurant near Northumberland Street, the Village's shoreline park
                              along Water Street, and a commercial marina at the northeast comer of the bay
                              reflect public and private reinvestment efforts to establish new, productive uses
                              in this area. However, these efforts fall substantially short of the major "image"
                              improvements needed here.         The backs of structures along Main Street
                              overshadowing the bayside uses, exacerbate the neglect and disuse characterizing
                              this area. In addition to rehabilitation and redevelopment of the lower bayside
                              area, its isolation from Main Street should be remedied where possible (both
                              visually and physically).













                                                             11-26









                                  PART 2 COMMUNITY/CULTURAL RESOURCES

              An inventory of community facilities and other cultural features of the local waterfront area was
              conducted during the Summer of 1985 using air photos, tax maps, the NYS Coastal Atlas and
              a windshield survey. An analysis of the inventory results was made with input from local
              officials and the Waterfront Advisory Committee. The inventory and analysis is presented below
              under the headings Development, Public Access and Recreation, Historic and Archaeological
              Resources and Agriculture.

              A. DEVELOPMENT


                     1. Inventory. (See Plates 6a and 6b).

                             a.      Public and Semi-Public Facilities. With the sole exception of Jacques
                                     Cartier State Park in the western part of the Town's waterfront, all of the
                                     public and semi-public facilities inventoried are situated within the
                                     Village's waterfront. Two categories of public facilities are present:
                                     those related to governmental or quasi-governmental functions
                                     (administration,) infrastructure, education, public health or safety and
                                     other services) and those related to public access and recreation. The first
                                     category includes the Village pumphouse at the north end of Caroline
                                     Street; one library, a post office, the Town/Village municipal offices, and
                                     a small community center (old stone schoolhouse) along Main Street; the
                                     Morristown Elementary School east of Governor Street and north of
                                     Columbia Street; and a fire hall on the south side of Morris Street. The
                                     second category consists of Jacques Cartier State Park west of Old Mills
                                     Road and two Village parks: a shoreline park along the east side of
                                     Morristown Bay north of Northumberland Street and a community park
                                     (Chapman Park) along the north side of Morris Street east of Governor
                                     Street.


                                     Semi-public facilities include three churches (one at Main and Columbia
                                     Streets and two at Columbia and Governor Streets), a parish center on the
                                     south side of Morris Street near Ann Street and two cemeteries (one along
                                     Main Street and the other east of Governor Street). Private property
                                     along the south side of NY Route 37 west of English Settlement Road has
                                     several baseball diamonds built and used by the volunteer fire department.
                                     Recent construction has added an elderly housing complex (12 one
                                     bedroom apartments built by United Helpers) and an Intermediate Care
                                     Facility (12 bed) on the west side of High Street, south of Columbia
                                     Street.


                             b.      Commercial Facilities. The majority of commercial facilities within the
                                     local waterfront area are located within the Village. With the exception


                                                             11-27








                                     of a single grocery store in the western part of the Town waterfront (on
                                     the north side of NY Route 12 at the Atwood Road intersection), the
                                     balance of the Town's commercial facilities are located east of the Village
                                     along NY Route 37.

                                     Within the Village, the commercial establishments consist of those
                                     catering to both year-round and seasonal residents (several small stores or
                                     shops on Main Street near Northumberland Street and a lumberyard/fuel
                                     oil supply operation at Chapman and Ann Streets) and those dependent
                                     upon local tourism ( a restaurant at Morris and Main Streets, another
                                     immediately south of the Village's shoreline park, Wright's Marina and
                                     its sporting goods store at Main and Chapman Streets, a boat repair shop
                                     along the east side of Main north of Morris Street, rental dockage on the
                                     west side of the bay north of Northumberland Street and boat storage near
                                     Water and Columbia Streets and a warehouse on Morris Street).

                              C.     Housing Stock. Housing units in the local waterfront area are nearly all
                                     owner-occupied single-family. In addition to the elderly units mentioned
                                     previously, only a few apartment units may be found either as mixed uses
                                     along Main Street (2nd floor apartments) or in a small apartment building
                                     at NY Route 37 and English Settlement Road.

                                     In the Village, the housing stock is characterized by year-round occupancy
                                     in the older sections and, along the river, mixed seasonal and year-round
                                     occupancy east of Ann Street and only seasonal occupancy west of Bay
                                     Street. Housing occupancy in the Town is mixed year-round and seasonal
                                     in the eastern part and seasonal only in the western part.

                              d.     Lafrastructure.    Existing infrastructure in the -local waterfront area
                                     consists of the highway, road and street system serving the two
                                     communities (as indicated on all plates); the Village's water distribution
                                     system (including the water intake off Chapman Point, a pumphouse at the
                                     end of Caroline Street, a water storage tank near the elementary school
                                     and the water mains and hydrants following most of the Village streets);
                                     a limited number of storm sewers which drain from older portions of the
                                     Village to the bay; and a recently constructed vacuum sewer system with
                                     sewage treatment facilities on the east side of Ann Street between
                                     Chapman Street and Riverview Drive. There are no sanitary sewers,
                                     sewage treatment facilities, storm sewers, or public water supply in the
                                     Town.


                      2.      Analysis. (See Plate 7). The key problems, issues and opportunities which
                              pertain to development relate only to the Village. They involve deterioration and
                              underutilization, water dependence and water enhancement, the role of


                                                            11-28









                              Morristown Bay as a small recreational harbor, and the concentration of
                              waterfront development in relation to availability of infrastructure and services.

                              a. Deteriorated and/or Underutilized Areas. (Area 1- Eastern Shore of Outer
                              Bay). Once the most economically vital part of the local waterfront area, the
                              eastern shore of the outer bay (from Northumberland Street to Ann Street along
                              the river) now suffers the most serious deterioration and underutilization.
                              Abandonment of rail and ferry service, exodus of local industry and inadequate
                              reinvestment of capital have left this area in its present condition. In spite of the
                              restaurant, park, marina and lumberyard/fuel supply facilities located there, a
                              sense of isolation and neglect permeates the area. Vacant parcels covered with
                              weeds and debris and dilapidated or deteriorating structures give witness to the
                              dearth of economic activity. The rear facades of structures along Main and
                              Chapman Streets provide a backdrop which, because of its elevation and its
                              orientation away from the shoreline, heightens the sense of isolation. Morris
                              Street, west of Main Street, is in need of improvement.

                              (Area 2 - Main Street Commercial Area). This area reflects the general decline
                              of local business activity and erosion of tax base that accompanied the loss of
                              local industry and the decline in population. Deteriorating buildings, conversion
                              of commercial structures to residential use and occasional vacant parcels highlight
                              the area's decline.


                              (Area 3 - North of Chapman Street/East of Ann Street). Here, the tree covered
                              hillside represents an underutilized area with general suitability for homesites:
                              except along the uppermost (southerly) portion of the area where bedrock and
                              steep slopes pose limitations. The overall economic decline in the waterfront and
                              the previous lack of sanitary sewers had relegated this attractive hillside and its
                              potential river views to the idle land category.         As part of their overall
                              revitalization efforts, the Village and Town recently acquired the abandoned
                              railroad right-of-way and completed the construction of Riverview Drive to serve
                              this area and Morristown Point.


                              (Area 4 - Southern Shores of Morristown Bay). A large area that wraps around
                              the southern shores of Morristown Bay and stretches over to, Main Street is
                              underutilized. Once laid out in a land subdivision to be served by the extension
                              of Bay Street, this area has lain idle similar to the hillside north of Chapman
                              Street. The economic decline of the Village, previous lack of sewers and
                              obstacles imposed by the abandoned railroad right-of-way were the primary
                              factors behind this area remaining a paper subdivision. Any future subdivision
                              and development of this area will need to incorporate measures to protect the
                              wetlands and wildlife habitat that are present.




                                                             11-29








                              (Area 5- Southern End of Main Street). While its location is rather removed
                              from the bay or river shoreline, this part of the local waterfront area is important
                              because it serves at the primary entrance to the Village. Several dilapidated
                              houses, poor road conditions and a sizeable amount of underutilized Main Street
                              frontage broadcast the economic woes of the waterfront as a whole. Street
                              improvements and rehabilitation of residential structures are sorely needed here.

                              b. Water-Dependence and Water-Enhancement. Five sites in the overall
                              Town/Village waterfront area are presently accommodating water-dependent
                              facilities. They include Jacques Cartier State Park in the western part of the
                              Town's waterfront, Wright's Marina along the northeastern comer of outer
                              Morristown Bay, a boathouse near the western end of Morris Street (p@ of
                              Wright's Marina), the Village's shoreline park immediately south of the
                              boathouse, McDonald's docks on the west side of the outer bay near the
                              Northumberland Street bridge, and the Village's pumphouse at the north end of
                              Caroline Street.


                              Existing water-enhanced facilities in the local waterfront area are all located in
                              the Village to the east side of Morristown Bay. They consist of a restaurant on
                              Water Street near Northumberland Street, another restaurant at the northwest
                              corner of Main and Morris Streets, several stores at the intersection of Main and
                              Northumberland Streets and Chapman Park. The stores are only marginally
                              enhanced by their waterfront location since their orientation is away from the bay.

                              The limited extent of water-dependent and water-enhanced facilities reflects the
                              isolation and neglect along the east side of outer Morristown Bay and the
                              economic decline of the Main Street commercial area. The deteriorated or vacant
                              properties previously noted in these areas offer significant opportunities to
                              combine revitalization and economic development efforts with measures to
                              facilitate the siting of uses which depend on, or would be enhanced by, a location
                              near the water. The lands along the east side of the outer bay lying at lower
                              elevations (closer to the bay and/or the river) should be generally targeted for
                              water-dependent uses whenever possible.          Water-enhanced uses should be
                              promoted on the higher elevations (further from the water) along the west side of
                              Main Street between Northumberland and Chapman Streets.                Both water-
                              dependent and water-enhanced uses could be facilitated along the west side of the
                              bay.

                              c. Morristown Bay's Small Harbor Role. Morristown Bay constitutes the only
                              protected small harbor on the U.S. side of the river between Chippewa Bay and
                              the Port of Ogdensburg. With navigable depths ranging from 5 or 6 feet at the
                              Northumberland Street bridge to 18 feet at the mouth, the bay has excellent
                              potential to offer traditional small harbor services geared to recreational
                              watercraft, public access and recreation, and other marine-related uses. Boat


                                                              11-30









                              launching, short and long term dockage, boat restoration and storage, engine and
                              hull repair, sale of marine-related products and services (new and used boats,
                              equipment, supplies, fuel, bait and tackle), guideboat fishing, boat tours, salvage
                              and rescue operations, and U.S. customs activities are possible. Picnicking,
                              swimming and fishing already exist. Restrooms, showers restaurants, motel
                              accommodations, and gift shops would be appropriate associated uses to enhance
                              the small harbor's role.


                              At present, the role of Morristown Bay is only partially established. Future
                              harbor development beyond the existing marina, boat house, park, restaurants and
                              dockage must link the revitalization effort with a greater focus on the harbor's
                              potential and both tourism development and tourism promotion.

                              d. Target Areas for Concentrating Development. Prior to 1988, there were no
                              waterfront areas where future development could be concentrated. Now with
                              installation of the new public sanitary sewer system, treatment facilities and other
                              Village infrastructure, the concentration of new development will be possible
                              along Northumberland, Water, Main, Governor, Columbia and Ann Streets, the
                              western parts of Morris and Chapman Streets, the shoreline and hillside areas
                              north of Chapman Street and east of Ann Street and, with suitable wetlands and
                              habitat protection, around the south end of the bay. New development in the
                              Town will necessarily remain light and scattered given its dependence on septic
                              systems and groundwater.

              B.      PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION


                      1.      Inventoa. (See Plates 8a and 8b). Jacques Cartier State Park in the Town and
                              Chapman Park and the shoreline park in the Village are the only water-related
                              public access and recreation facilities in the local waterfront area. Discounting
                              the State park, the Town has no public access and recreation facilities of its own.
                              On the other hand, the Village's supply of such facilities is augmented by
                              commercial marine-related recreation via Wright's Marina and McDonald's
                              docks. The particular public or private facilities at each of the locations noted
                              above are as follows:


                              a.     Existing Public Access and Recreation Sites.

                                      I      Jaggues Cartier State Park. (See Figure 2). With a total area 461
                                             acres, the park offers 76 acres for camping that entail 22 sites with
                                             electricity, 76 sites without electricity, and 25 overflow sites. A
                                             dumping station is provided. Approximately 22 acres are set aside
                                             for picnicking with use of 200 picnic tables. The park contains a
                                             small swimming area (with 400 linear feet of beach), I boat launch
                                             ramp, 20 pier moorings, 5 transient moorings, boat launch for 10


                                                             11-31









                                               cars with trailers, and a snack bar. Water skiing and skin diving
                                               activities are allowed. In the fall, two duck blinds are provided
                                               for waterfowl hunting. In the winter, snowmobiling and cross-
                                               country skiing are permitted (each with separate 2 mile trails), and
                                               ice fishing is allowed.

                                       2.      Chapman P         (see Figure 3).      Chapman Park is a nearly
                                               completed community park containing slightly less than 2 acres of
                                               land along the north side of Morris Street east of Governor Street.
                                               The park facilities presently include 4 tennis courts, a grass
                                               volleyball court, a basketball court, horseshoe pits, a small
                                               playground area, parking and both wooded and grassy open
                                               spaces.    The restrooms and final landscaping remain to be
                                               completed. Most notable among features of the park are its
                                               commanding view of the river and outer bay and the old stone
                                               windmill along the park's west side.

                                       3.      Bayside Park. (see Figure 4). This park is located along the
                                               eastern shoreline of outer Morristown Bay, between Morris and
                                               Northumberland Streets. Its facilities include a single boat launch
                                               ramp, a public dock with 15 slips, open lawn and parking. Under
                                               an agreement with the Village, Wright's Marina handles seasonal
                                               rentals for 12 of the slips. Fishing and swimming are popular
                                               activities along its shoreline. In the winter, the park affords access
                                               to Morristown Bay for ice fishing.

                               b.      Existing Commercial Recreation Facilities

                                       1.      Wright's Marina. This marina contributes significantly to water-
                                               dependent recreation in the local waterfront area. Its location at
                                               the mouth of the bay (east side) permits easy access to the open
                                               waters of the river or bay. Its facilities include dockage for 70
                                               boats, a gas dock, a pumpout for marine holding tanks, a single
                                               boat launch, a store (sale of boats, accessories and supplies) and
                                               a large building for winter boat storage. This facility is presently
                                               undergoing expansion that will provide a stimulus for other
                                               development.

                                       2.      Wriiaht's boathouse and adjacent dogj@e. Immediately north of
                                               Bayside Park, Wright's Marina can accommodate another five
                                               watercraft in an old boathouse and two at a short dock extended
                                               from the shore near the boathouse.





                                                                11-32









                                      3.      McDonald's docks. A total of 18 to 20 boats can tie up at the
                                              McDonald docks on the west side of the bay near the bridge. No
                                              other marine facilities are provided there. Parking for 10 to 15
                                              cars is available.


                       2.      Analysis. (See Plates 8a and 8b). A total of 18 to 20 boats can tie up at
                               McDonald docks on the west side of the bay near the bridge. No other marine
                               facilities are provided there. Parking for 10 to 15 cars is available.

                               a.     Adequacy of existing facilities. Overall, the public access and recreation
                                      facilities within the local waterfront area must be considered marginally
                                      adequate in the face of current demand. Levels of usage and deficiencies
                                      in actual facilities vary markedly between locations and types of facilities.
                                      Each of the existing sites - public and private (commercial) -is evaluated
                                      below:


                                      I .     JaqQues Cartier State Park. Park attendance figures swelled to
                                              45,000 in 1984 from the 1979-82 average of 33,800. Although
                                              level of usage for camping averages 60 to 70% during its 109-day
                                              season, the park campgrounds are filled to capacity over holiday
                                              weekends. Representatives of the Thousand Islands State Park
                                              Commission at Keewaydin view the facility as marginally adequate
                                              with need for specific improvements. The swimming area is
                                              subject to heavy siltation, and the condition of the single asphalt
                                              boat launch ramp is viewed as only "fair". The dock serving the
                                              boat launch is separated from the launch site, and thus, not handy.
                                              Additional dockage could be absorbed by present demand. Park
                                              facilities for picnicking, hunting, snowmobiling, cross-country
                                              skiing, and other recreational activity are adequate.

                                      2.      Chgpman Park. With subsequent completion of its rest rooms and
                                              final landscaping, the facilities of this community park will be
                                              adequate to meet the playground recreation needs of the Village.
                                              However, the present level of use is quite heavy since the park is
                                              also used by Town residents.

                                      3.      Bayside park. This shoreline park constitutes the Village's only
                                              water-based public access site. Although its facilities are limited,
                                              the park receives heavy use. Most heavily in demand are the boat
                                              launching ramp and the adjacent parking. Weekends, holidays,
                                              and some weekday evenings see the ramp in nearly continuous use.
                                              Often the cars must queue up with their trailers to launch or take
                                              out their boats. At times, the parking lot is filled to its 25
                                              car/trailer capacity. The new boat slips leased to Wright's Marina


                                                              11-33









                                            are usually fully rented for seasonal dockage. Use of the shoreline
                                            for panfishing and swimming is lighter.

                                     4.     Wright's Marina. Like many other marinas in the Thousand
                                            Islands region, Wright's Marina is experiencing a heavy demand
                                            for seasonal boat slips that exceeds its capacity.       While the
                                            recently acquired boathouse and new slips at Bayside Park absorb
                                            a little of the excess demand, a waiting list is usually still
                                            necessary.

                                     5.     Wright's Boathouse. In spite of recent painting, the boathouse
                                            remains in a deteriorated condition. It is filled to capacity with
                                            boats using the seasonal dockage.

                                     6.     McDonald's Docks. These private docks are usually almost fully
                                            rented for seasonal use. Present demand has not exceeded existing
                                            capacity.

                             b.      Future Demand for Public Access and Recreation Facilities. To date,
                                     the level of tourism within the local waterfront area has been limited to
                                     heavy use of the State Park, Wright's marina, and the Village's boat
                                     launching ramp. With good to excellent fishing, notable scenic beauty,
                                     important fish and wildlife habitats, nationally-recognized historic
                                     resources and the potential for significant improvement of the Village's
                                     riverside and bayside image, the waterfront has many assets for tourism.
                                     Successful revitalization and tourism development efforts will undoubtedly
                                     enable the Town and Village to capture a larger share of the region's
                                     growing tourism market. Locally, the increased recreational demand is
                                     expected to center around Morristown Bay and Jacques Cartier State Park,
                                     especially for boat launching, docking, sightseeing, fishing,
                                     camping, and swimming.

                             C.      Potential for hnproving and Expanding Public Access and Recreation
                                     Sites/Facilities.


                                     I      Jacques Cartier State Park.      Improvement of the beach, boat
                                            launching ramp, and dock facilities at Jacques Cartier State Park
                                            will enable the park to accommodate much of the increased
                                            demand. The total extent of undeveloped park land embodies
                                            considerable potential for expanding campground and other park
                                            facilities in the event future demand warrants such expansion.

                                     2.     Chapman Par . This site has only limited area for expanding park
                                            facilities. If future demand originating from the Town begins to

                                             overtax this park, the Town will need to explore community park
                                             facilities of its own. For the foreseeable future, however, no
                                             significant increases are expected in the demand for this park's
                                             playground facilities.

                                      3.     Bayside Park. Future increases in the demand for this park's
                                             facilities are expected. Improvement of the existing boat launching
                                             ramp, expansion of the parking area, refurbishment of existing
                                             bulkheads, construction of a service building with rest rooms, and
                                             installation of a pumpout facility for marine holding tanks are
                                             viewed as potential improvements which will increase the Village's
                                             ability to accommodate such demand.

                                      4.     Wright's Marin . Long-standing plans for expansion of this
                                             marina depend on financing and the now available public sanitary
                                             sewers. The proposed development of an additional 150 boat slips
                                             there would handle a substantial part of the increased demand for
                                             dockage. Also proposed are a large breakwater with a public
                                             fishing pier and a public boat launch.

                                      5.     Potential Town Boat Launch site. In Terrace Park, at the extreme
                                             northern end of English Settlement Road, one half of the private
                                             road right-of-way has been offered to the Town as a potential site.
                                             The matter is presently at an informal discussion stage, and may
                                             not be pursued until the overall demand for public access has
                                             actually increased to a significant extent.

                                      6.     Former railroad right-of-@@ The Village acquired abandoned
                                             railroad right-of-way along the east side of inner Morristown Bay.
                                             The Town and Village jointly acquired similar right-of-way
                                             paralleling the shoreline east of Ann Street. The acquisition near,
                                             the inner bay offers the potential for access to the shallows and
                                             wetlands of Morristown Bay. Acquisition of the right-of-way east
                                             of Ann Street enabled the development of a public road connecting
                                             from Ann Street all the way to Morristown Point. This connection
                                             facilitates access from the eastern shoreline cottages to the
                                             Village's public access and recreation facilities. It also improves
                                             the accessibility of the cottage area for fire fighting and ambulance
                                             services.



                                      7.     Potential Bicycle/Pedestrian Path. As mentioned previously, the
                                             right-of-way for River Road could be used for a bicycle/pedestrian



                                                              11-41









                                            path (shoulder improvements) to facilitate non-vehicular movement
                                            between the Village's public access and recreation sites and those
                                            of the State Park.


               C. HISTORIC AND ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES

                      1.     InventgM. (See Plates 8a and 8b). A substantial number of historic structures
                             are located within the local waterfront area, especially within the Village of
                             Morristown. The specific structures or sites identified in the inventory are as
                             follows:


                             a.      The Stone Windmill. The stone windmill was built in 1825 by Hugh
                                     McConnell. Through the years it has served as a mill, the local jail, and
                                     finally an Air Warning Post during World War 11. Charles Chapman, a
                                     noted artist, donated the Mill property to Morristown in 1943 in memory
                                     of his mother, Laura.

                             b.      Samuel Stocking House. The Samuel Stocking House is one of St.
                                     Lawrence County's finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in a
                                     domestic structure. The house was built by Samuel Stocking in 1821.
                                     Within two decades he had sold the house and property to Augustus
                                     Chapman, who made Morristown his home, and whose family was
                                     instrumental in developing the Village.

                             C.      Frank Chapman House.           This house was built in 1878 and is
                                     Morristown's best preserved example of the Gothic Revival style. Frank
                                     Chapman, Augustus' grandson, was active in Village government during
                                     the last half of the 19th century. When the Village was incorporated in
                                     1884, he served as one of the first Village trustees.

                             d.      The United Methodist Church.            This church was originally a
                                     Presbyterian Church erected in 1838. The first Methodists came to
                                     Morristown and built their first church in 1848. In 1952 the Methodist
                                     and Presbyterian churches entered into a union and subsequently the
                                     original Methodist Church was torn down and the Presbyterian Church
                                     became the present Methodist Church.

                             e.      St. John's Church. St. John's Roman Catholic Church was constructed
                                     in 1878. It is tiny in scale, being only 87 by 20 feet. In 1937 an annex
                                     was added. The church is a vernacular version of the Gothic Revival
                                     style.  In 1978, St. John's was the smallest mission church in the
                                     Ogdensburg diocese.

                             f.     Pine Hill Cemetery. The lovely Pine Hill Cemetery became the resting
                                    place of the Chapman family.          The Chapmans, who were early
                                    benefactors of the community, donated this land as a burial place. Just
                                    over the hill lies the Greenwood Cemetery. Here lie some of the earliest
                                    settlers in the community with burials dating back to 1810.

                             g.     Christ Episcopal Church. This church was erected in 1834. It is the
                                    oldest religious structure remaining in the Village. Although altered, it
                                    retains its historic presence and houses a Tiffany alter window and a
                                    Charles Chapman mural.

                             h.     The Stone Schoolhouse. This quaint stone structure was the first Village
                                    schoolhouse; constructed in 1824. The one-room building was used until
                                    1887. Later it served as a family dwelling, the Village Hall, and finally
                                    a power substation.      In 1973 it was acquired by the Morristown
                                    Foundation and deeded to the Village. It is open to the public weekends
                                    2-4 P.M. in July and August.

                             i.     Frontier National Bank (Clerk's Office). The Bank was established in
                                    1906. It was Morristown's only bank and survived until 1941. It is now
                                    the Town and Village Clerk's Offices. The pressed metal siding is a
                                    forerunner to modem sidings. During business hours an interesting
                                    display on the Town's history can be seen. The original bank vault is still
                                    in use.


                             j.     Brick/Stone House. This Pre-Civil War residence is an example of a
                                    simplified Greek Revival structure of the mid-1800's. Both brick (Main
                                    Street level) and stone (Northumberland Street) are used in its
                                    construction.


                             k.     Commercial Row. Across Main Street from the Frontier National Bank
                                    (#9) and the Brick/Stone House (#10) are the remnants of a once
                                    flourishing row of Victorian commercial buildings. About one half of the
                                    predominantly Italianate style structures remain. Although they are
                                    somewhat altered and modernized, their bracketed roof lines indicate that
                                    they were constructed between 1870 and 1900, a period of great
                                    prosperity in Morristown.

                             1.     Frontier House. This early wooden framed structure became the Frontier
                                    House Hotel after the original Frontier House, located further down Main
                                    Street, burned. The building once housed a boys' school.

                             In.    Morristown Bay Overlook. Just beyond the Frontier House is a grassy
                                    slope overlooking Morristown Bay. The waterfront area supported much


                                                           11-43









                                        of Morristown's early trade. John Canfield built the first storehouse and
                                        wharf in 1817 and until 1953, a car ferry ran to Brockville, Ontario. This
                                        was the site of a Customs House, established in 1856, the Comstock Pin
                                        Factory (1867), and the first railroad station. Trains entered the Village
                                        by tracks which ran along the waterfront from 1875 until 1958.

                                n.      Richard B. Chapman House (Masonic Temple). While possessing little
                                        architectural significance in its present condition, the house was built
                                        around 1850 in the Gothic Revival style. Members of the Chapman
                                        family, who ran several businesses including the Stone Store (#17), the
                                        Land Office (#18), and lumberyards, lived here. It became the Masonic
                                        Temple in 1940.

                                0.      Paschal Miller House. This house was constructed around 1840. It
                                        combines elements of Greek Revival and Federal styles. This unique
                                        house as a "cup and saucer" appearance, a regional term given to this type
                                        of architecture. Paschal Miller was town supervisor from 1825-1826.

                                P.      Augustus Chapman       Store (Wright's Marina). The stone store was built
                                        in 1821 by Augustus Chapman and his partner, James Averill, making it
                                        one of the Village's earliest commercial buildings. At one time it was a
                                        steam powered lumber mill. It was always prominent in active trade with
                                        Canadian businesses in addition to serving early inhabitants.

                                q-      Augustus Chapman Und Office (Morristown Library). The Stone
                                        Land Office was built in 1820 when Augustus Chapman settled in the
                                        Village.    This Greek Revival style building continues to serve the
                                        community, having been deeded for use as a public library in 1904 by the
                                        Chapman family.

                                r.      Terrace Park. Started in 1874 as a unique church camp overlooking the
                                        St. Lawrence River, this small but densely settled site still contains at least
                                        two cottages of architectural interest for their respective picturesque
                                        Gothic and Gothic Revival styles.

                                S.      Former Military Academy (date unknown and builder unknown).
                                        This stone and clapboard residence was originally built in the post Civil
                                        War period, and was briefly occupied as a military school. It is believed
                                        to have been the first split level stone house in the area.

                                t.      Coppernall House (date and builder unknown). Also known as the
                                        White Birches, the Coppernall House (so named for its former residents
                                        of many years) was probably built in the 1880's. The two-story clapboard
                                        structure is an excellent example of Greek Revival architecture.


                                                                 11-44









                              U.      Red Barn Museum and former Chapman farmhouse (date and builder
                                      unknown). The original bam and stone house were probably built around
                                      1832 when the property was owned by Richard D. Chapman. The first
                                      occupants may have been tenants. The present bam (built in 1904 to
                                      replace the original after it bumed a year earlier) was opened as a
                                      museum in 1971 by its cuffent owners.

                              V.      Sarah Goodwin House (date and builder unknown). This cottage style
                                      house was built of native stone. It probably dates back to over 130 years
                                      ago.

                              W.      The New York State Archaeological/Site Inventory Map indicates no
                                      archaeologically sensitive site within the local LWRP area. A SUNY
                                      Buffalo study does reference a possible woodlands period site (Prehistoric
                                      may be located within the LWRP Area)

                      2.      Analysis. (See Plate 8a) Of the numerous historic resources inventoried, seven
                      buildings are deemed highly significant since they have received recognition through
                      successful placement on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. These seven
                      consist of the Stone Windmill, the United Methodist Church, the Stone Schoolhouse, the
                      Jacob Ford House, the Paschal Miller House, the Augustus Chapman Store, and the
                      Augustus Chapman Land Office.

                      The remaining structures or sites inventoried have primarily local significance. Their
                      value to the Town and Village lies in the cultural heritage they embody collectively.
                      Taken as a whole, they are an integral and irreplaceable part of the waterfront's historic
                      character as much as the highly significant individual structures are.

                      Problems, issues, and opportunities related the historic resources within the local
                      waterfront area are as follows:


                              a.      Potential Threats to Historic Resources. Of the seven highly significant
                                      historic structures inventoried, three are under public (Village) ownership,
                                      one is under semi-public (church) ownership, and three are privately
                                      owned. Although the privately owned structures may be more susceptible
                                      to severe alteration or loss than their public or semi-public counterparts,
                                      all of the structures face the threats of deterioration and inappropriate
                                      improvements to counter the deterioration. If the Town and Village are
                                      successful in their attempts to spur revitalization and tourism development,
                                      the historic structures are likely to be faced with even greater threats:
                                      demolitions, wholesale alterations, and impacts from incompatible
                                      development or redevelopment on adjacent properties. The remaining,
                                      less significant, historic structures or sites face similar threats as a group.



                                                               11-45









                              b.      1ssue of Preservation. Efforts of Village officials and the Morristown
                                      Foundation ultimately resulted in State and national recognition of the
                                      seven highly significant historic structures and the actual preservation of
                                      the Stone Windmill, the Stone Schoolhouse, the Augustus Chapman Land
                                      Office, and the Frontier National Bank Building. In spite of such efforts,
                                      there is no local support for regulations to preserve private and semi-
                                      public historic structures. The most that could be expected is the creation
                                      and approval of a review process for new non-residential development (or
                                      redevelopment) to prevent or minimize its impact on historic sites or
                                      structures. Local public education efforts - already instated through the
                                      auspices of the Morristown Foundation - can be increased to foster better
                                      citizen awareness of the value of historic resources and encourage
                                      responsible private preservation initiatives.

                              C.      Tourism Opportunities. The Morristown Foundation, with technical
                                      assistance from the St. Lawrence-Eastern Ontario Commission and
                                      financial participation of the Morristown Chamber of Commerce, has
                                      prepared a walking tour guide for "Historic Morristown". This guide
                                      reflects local awareness that historic resources can be important assets for
                                      increasing tourism. Future tourism development and promotion activities
                                      will undoubtedly take advantage of such assets.

               D.     AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES


                       1.     Inventox:y. (See Plates 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b). Three significant pockets of prime
                              agricultural soils were found within the local waterfront area. The first is located
                              primarily within the boundaries of Jacques Cartier State Park. The southeastern
                              part of the Village contains the second area, and the third lies north of the
                              Chippewa Creek Marsh. Active farming only occurs in the second and third
                              areas with the hay crops and pasture comprising the primary use.


                      2.      Analysis. The area of active farming within the Village has marginal viability.
                              It is bisected by NY Route 37, has rolling to steeply rolling topography and is
                              susceptible to development pressure. Lying within the drainage area for Louce
                              Creek, its tilling undoubtedly contributes to the siltation in inner Morristown Bay
                              even though the erodibility of its soils is low. The limited agricultural production
                              of this area is not considered to have measurable value for the overall local
                              economy.

                              Active farming. in the small area of prime agricultural soils north of the Chippewa
                              Creek Mark is more viable. Given its flatter terrain and distance from waterfront
                              areas more susceptible to development pressure, this area should continue in
                              active farm use.



                                                              11-46










                                     PART 3 EXISTING LAND AND WATER USES


              A.      Major Subdivisio

              As was inherent in the mapping of the Inventory and Analysis up to this point, the local
              waterfront area can be more readily examined in terms of four subareas: the Village, the eastern
              and western shorelines of the Town, and the area north of the Chippewa Creek. Existing land
              and water uses are discussed below for each of these subareas.


                      1.      Inventoa.


                              a. VILLAGE ASee Plate 9a).

                              The types of existing land use within the Village are agricultural, residential,
                              commercial, public and semi-public, and vacant/undeveloped.                Generally
                              speaking, the more intensive land uses lie to the east of Morristown Bay in the
                              north central section of the Village. The specific pattern of land use, by VyW, is
                              as follows:


                                     1.      Agricultural.     Agricultural use (hay, cropland and pasture)
                                             involves perhaps one fifth of the village's total area. Large parcels
                                             with this use straddle NY Route 37 in the eastern and southeastern
                                             section of the Village.

                                     2.      Residential. This use is the most widely distributed within the
                                             waterfront. It hugs the river shoreline to the east and west of
                                             Morristown Bay, and occupies much of the frontage along the
                                             Village's north/south and east/west streets. No residential uses are
                                             situated directly along the NY Route 37 road frontage within the
                                             Village.

                                     3.      Commercial. The northern third of Main Street and the eastern
                                             shoreline of outer Morristown Bay contain almost all of the
                                             Village's commercial land use. While commercial uses are mixed
                                             with residential, public and semi-public and a few vacant
                                             properties along Main Street, they are separated by only one public
                                             use and several larger vacant areas along the bay.

                                     4.      Public and Semi-public. This type of use is the third most
                                             extensive in the waterfront, after agricultural and residential. The
                                             largest area of public and semi-public use is found south of Morris
                                             Street and east of Governor Street. Smaller pockets of this use
                                             occur at a number of points along Main Street.


                                                             11-47









                                     5.      VacanVundeveloped.        Comprising roughly one-third of the
                                             Village's land area, vacant/undeveloped land is the most extensive
                                             category of land use. The largest area in this category is situated
                                             south of Northumberland Street and west of Main Street. Other
                                             large pockets of undeveloped land lie along the northern and
                                             southern sides of Chapman Street, east of the elementary school
                                             and along the east side of the southern end of Main Street.

                                     6.      Water uses. As noted earlier, boating and fishing are the most
                                             widespread water uses. Swimming is limited to the beach at
                                             Jacques Cartier State Park and the Village's shoreline park. The
                                             only other water use is the Village's water intake off Chapman
                                             Point.


                              b.     EAST TOIAW. (See Plate 9a). Residential (seasonal and year-round) and
                                     vacant/undeveloped are the two primary land use categories in this area.
                                     The residential occurs mostly along the river's edge and in a few scattered
                                     pockets along NY Route 37. Small clusters of commercial use are found
                                     along this highway immediately east of the Village and near English
                                     Settlement Road. A few minor parcels are currently in agricultural use.

                              C.     WEST TOWN. (See Plate 9b). Shoreline residential (seasonal) and
                                     vacant/undeveloped are again primary land use categories. Public and
                                     semi-public, however, is a major additional category due to the
                                     considerable acreage of Jacques Cartier State Park.        Small areas of
                                     agricultural use are located near Atwood Road, Worden Road (west side),
                                     River Road (south side, east of Worden Road) and surrounding the Rt.
                                     12/Rt. 37 interchange. Commercial uses are almost non-existent.

                              d.     North of Chippewa Creek. (See Plate 9b). This area is almost equally
                                     divided between agricultural and vacant/undeveloped land.


               2.     Analysis. (See Plate 10). Existing land uses were examined in terms of relative
                      stability, general compatibility or appropriateness and potential for beneficial uses
                      through new development or redevelopment. As might be expected, most of the analysis
                      centered on areas within the Village, especially in the vicinity of Morristown Bay.

                              a.     Areas Susceptible to Change. Five waterfront areas can be characterized
                                     as having been, or likely to be, faced with more frequent changes in land
                                     use than other areas.    Four such areas lie within the Village along the
                                     Main Street axis: off the north end (surrounding Wright's Marifia); along
                                     the west side (between Morris and Northumberland Streets); along the east
                                     side (between Chapman and Northumberland Streets); and straddling the


                                                             11-48








                                    south end (at NY Route 37). The fifth area susceptible to change lies
                                    along NY route 37 immediately east of the Village.

                                    Marina expansion, effects of the market on the fuel supply/lumberyard
                                    operation and deterioration of several residences in this area are the
                                    principal factors making this area susceptible to change. Although the
                                    lumberyard is presently a stable use, it is not dependent on a shoreline
                                    location and will undoubtedly come under greater pressure for change now
                                    that sanitary sewers have been installed in this area.

                                    C hanging ownership of the bayside restaurant, expansion of facilities for
                                    Wright's Marina and conversions of Main Street business establishments
                                    to residential uses are the major factors in the second area. Sanitary
                                    sewers, further marina expansion and increased tourism will accelerate the
                                    overall change here, perhaps helping to reverse the Main Street trend back
                                    toward commercial uses (conversions and infill).

                                    The third area, the east side of Main Street, is somewhat less susceptible
                                    to change. This is probably due to the traditionally greater proportion of
                                    residential use to the north of the main concentration of commercial uses
                                    at Northumberland Street. Nevertheless, sanitary sewers and expanded
                                    tourism will undoubtedly increase this area's susceptibility to
                                    commercialization.


                                    Expanded tourism could also be the cause of change at the southern end
                                    of Main Street. With its open street frontage, scattered and deteriorated
                                    residences and proximity to NY Route 37 and its higher traffic volumes,
                                    this southernmost entrance to the Village may become attractive for
                                    convenience commercial uses.


                                    Finally, the northernmost entrance at Chapman Street and NY Route 37
                                    has been subject to past development of tourist accommodations. With
                                    expanded local tourism, this area would be likely to experience some
                                    change, probably in the form of expansion of existing establishments and
                                    partial conversion of residences to commercial uses.

                            b.      Marginal, Incompatible or Inappropriate Uses. From the perspective
                                    of best, long-range use of the waterfront, there are a number of sites with
                                    uses which are marginal, involve potential conflicts with adjacent uses or
                                    may not be the most appropriate for economic growth, stability or
                                    community character. While most of these uses may be viable over the
                                    short run, it will be in the best interest of the Town and Village to plan
                                    for their eventual transition to more beneficial uses in the long run.
                                    Included among this category of land uses are the lumberyard/fuel oil


                                                            11-49









                                     operation, several marginal residences along the northside of Chapman
                                     Street, several pockets of residential uses along the west side of Main
                                     Street, a restaurant on the east side of the outer bay along Northumberland
                                     Street, a boat storage shed west of Water Street to the south of
                                     Northumberland Street, a small pocket of residential and agricultural use
                                     at the south end of Main Street and several residential uses along NY
                                     Route 37 near the Chapman Street entrance to the Village.

                             C.      Potential for Beneficial Uses. With the aim of promoting stable and
                                     appropriate land uses, the analysis briefly examined seven sites in the
                                     areas susceptible to change and two vacant/undeveloped areas for their
                                     development or redevelopment potential (FN8). Each of these areas is
                                     described below and identified by letter on Plate 10:

                                     a.     Wright's Marina and Vacant Land - potential for marina
                                            expansion, condominium or boatel with boutique(s).

                                     b.     Vacant property between Main Street and Bayside Park - potential
                                            for restaurant, shops, parking, with emphasis on orientation to
                                            both Main Street and the bay.

                                     C.     Restaurant property - potential for resort accommodations, with
                                            restaurant and marina facilities and other traditional small harbor
                                            uses. ,                                                                    0

                                     d.     West side of outer bay - -potential for bayside country inn,
                                            restaurant.


                                     e.     Lumberyard/fuel oil operation - potential for shoreline resort
                                            development or marine-related use.

                                     f.     Wooded hillside - potential for seasonal and year-round residences

                                     9.     Between Morris and Chapman Streets near Village's eastern limits
                                            - potential,for travel -related convenience commercial uses.

                                     h.     West and south of inner bay - potential for water-dependent and/or
                                            water-enhanced commercial to the west, urban density residential
                                            further west, and large lot residential plus public access to the
                                            south.


                                     i.     Eastern ends of Morris and Chapman Streets/NY Route 37
                                            between Village limit and English Settlement Road - potential for
                                            motel,


                                                            11-50









                                         restaurant, tourist home or bed and breakfast accommodations,
                                         antique sales, roadside produce stands and related uses.

                                         Existing water uses in the Village are not susceptible to significant
                                         change with the exception of more intensive use of the outer bay
                                         as its small harbor role increases. Swimming and boating will
                                         probably increase at Jacques Cartier State Park in the Town.

                                  PART 4-EM"ORTANT ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES


              At present, the economic activities within the local waterfront area are limited to tourism and
              a small amount of farming. The tourism centers around Jacques Cartier State Park (camping,
              swimming, boating and fishing), Morristown Bay (Wright's Marina) and a small number of local
              businesses (trade with year-round residents, summer cottagers and a limited number of
              transients). The farming activity, though extensive in the southeastern portion of the Village,
              is not a major economic factor for the Village as a whole. The future economic well-being of
              the local waterfront area will rest almost entirely on the development and enhancement of local
              tourism (primarily within the Village and at the State Park) and continued attractiveness of the
              shoreline for summer cottage use (in the outlying shoreline areas).

              FN 1 - Class A waters are suitable as a source of water supply for drinking, culinary or food
              processing purposes and any other usages with treatment. Class B waters are suitable for
              primary contact recreation and any other uses except as a source of water supply for drinking,
              culinary or food processing purposes. Class C waters are suitable for fishing and all other uses
              except as a source of water supply for drinking, culinary or food processing purposes. Class
              D waters are suitable for secondary contact recreation, but due to such natural conditions as
              intermittence of flow, water conditions not conducive to propagation of game fish, or streambed
              conditions, the waters will not support the propagation of fish.

               tax incentives to businesses are examples of governmental means for spurring waterfront
               revitalization. When such actions are proposed, they must be analyzed to determine if they
               would contribute to or adversely affect the town's or village's waterfront revitalization efforts.
               Such efforts must be recognized as the most effective means of encouraging economic growth








                in formerly dynamic areas of these communities, without consuming valuable open space
                elsewhere.


                In furtherance of these revitalization policies, government agencies must consider all other
                pertinent policies in this program. Particular emphasis is required for those policies aimed at
                facilitating the siting of water-dependent uses, enhancing small harbor development, guiding
                development.to areas with adequate infrastructure and public services, and simplifying permit
                procedures. (See Policies 2, 2A-2C, 4, 4A, 5, 5A-5B and 6).

                While Policy 1 reflects the general aim of revitalizing and restoring all deteriorated and
                underutilized areas of the waterfront, Policies IA through 1D are more specific. They target
                local revitalization efforts toward the five particular areas of concern identified in Section IL
                (Ref.: Sect. I[[, Part 2, A. Analysis, a and Plate 7.) The Town and Village have the primary
                responsibility for implementing these policies.

                Policy Guidelines

                The following guidelines are to be used in assessing proposed government actions affecting local
                waterfront revitalization in general and in the specific target areas:

                1.    Priority should be given to marina development and expansion, development of marine
                      related commercial uses, increasing shoreline public access and recreation facilities and
                      facilitating the siting of sewage treatment facilities in the revitalization target areas
                      adjacent to the shoreline.

                2.    The actions should enhance existing and anticipated uses by:

                      a.     improving deteriorated conditions, if present, on the site subject to the action;
                      b.     providing for development of the site in a manner compatible with the character of
                             the area in terms of scale, architectural style, density and intensity of use;
                      C.     serving as catalysts to private investment or reinvestment in both the subject site as
                             well as other deteriorated or underutilized sites nearby;
                      d.     improving adjacent and upland views of the water; and
                      e.     at a minimum, not causing deterioration, imposing obstacles to
                             other public or private revitalization initiatives in the area, or affecting important
                             views in a detrimental manner.


                3.    The actions should have the potential to:

                      a.     improve opportunities for multiple use of the site, when
                             appropriate;
                      b.     benefit the local economic base; and
                      C.     at a minimum, not jeopardize that base.




                                                              111-6








               4.     The action should generally satisfy the guidelines of other applicable policies set forth in
                      this program.

               5.     If the action is proposed to take place outside of a deteriorated and/or underutilized
                      waterfront area suitable for redevelopment and is either within the Town, Village or an
                      adjacent coastal community, the agency proposing the action must first determine if it is
                      feasible to take the action within the deteriorated and/or underutilized waterfront in
                      question. If such an action is feasible, the agency should give strong consideration to
                      taking the action in that area. If not feasible, the agency must take the appropriate steps
                      to ensure that the action does not cause further deterioration of that area.



               POLICY 2              FACILITATE THE SITING OF WATER-DEPENDENT USES AND
                                     FACILITIES ON OR ADJACENT TO COASTAL WATERS.


               POLICY 2A             FACILITATE THE NEW LOCATION, REDEVELOPMENT AND
                                     EXPANSION OF WATER BASED PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL
                                     RECREATION FACHITIES, MARINE SUPPORT SERVICES, AND
                                     OTHER WATER-DEPENDENT USES AROUND OUTER
                                     MORRISTOWN BAY, ESPECIALLY ALONG ITS EASTERN
                                     SHORE.


               POLICY 2B             ENCOURAGE THE NEW LOCATION, REDEVELOPMENT AND
                                     EXPANSION OF RIVERSIDE AND BAYSIDE, RESORTS,
                                     RESTAURANTS, AND OTHER WATER-ENHANCED TOURIST
                                     FACILITIES AROUNDMORRISTOWNBAY, ESPECIALLY ALONG
                                     ITS WESTERN SHORE AND AT LOCATIONS INLAND FROM OR
                                     ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE OUTER BAY9S EASTERN SHORE.


               POLICY 2C             FACILITATE THE EXPANSION OF WATER-DEPENDENT PUBLIC
                                     ACCESS AND RECREATION FACILITIES ELSEWHERE ALONG
                                     TOWN AND VILLAGE SHORELINES WHERE COMPATIBLE
                                     WITH EXISTENT USES AND WARRANTED BY INCREASES IN
                                     DEMAND, IF ANY.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Given the nearshore water depths, exposure to wind and wave action, shallow soils overlying
               bedrock, sharp topographic relief and the nearly continuous and very stable cottage development
               along most of the St. Lawrence River shoreline within the Town and Village, little waterfront
               space remains that is suitable for development. (Ref. Plates 2a through 6b) Competition for
               shoreline property along the river will undoubtedly be confined, for the most part, among non-
               water-dependent residential uses. Shoreline property around outer Morristown Bay, on the other
               hand, has greater development or redevelopment potential due to underutilized or deteriorated


                                                             111-7








                 conditions and the small harbor attraction. (Ref. Sect. III, Part 2, A. Analysi , a-c and Plate 7).
                 Competition for these water-dependent sites around Morristown's Bay should increase due to the
                 completion of public infrastructure and the expected growth of Morristown's Recreation and
                 tourism activities.


                 The traditional method of land allocation, i.e., the real estate market, with or without local land
                 use controls, offers little assurance that uses which require waterfront sites will, in fact, have
                 access to coastal waters.      To ensure such "water-dependent" uses can continue to be
                 accommodated within the local waterfront area, government agencies will avoid undertaking,
                 funding or otherwise approving non-water dependent uses when such uses would preempt the
                 reasonably foreseeable water-dependent uses; furthermore government agencies will utilize
                 appropriate existing programs to encourage water-dependent activities.

                 The following uses and facilities are considered as water-dependent:

                 1.    Uses which depend on the utilization of resources found in coastal waters (for example:
                       fishing);

                 2.    Recreational activities which depend on access to coastal waters (for example: swimming,
                       fishing, boating, wildlife viewing);

                 3.    Uses involved in the sea/land transfer of goods (for example: docks, loading areas,
                       pipelines, short- and long-term storage facilities);

                 4.    Structures needed for navigational purposes (for example: dams and lighthouses);

                 5.    Flood and erosion protection structures (for example: breakwaters and bulkheads);

                 6.    Facilities needed to store and service boats and ships (for example: marinas, boat repair,
                       boat construction yards);

                 7.    Uses requiring large quantities of water for processing and cooling purposes (for example:
                       hydroelectric power plants);

                 8.    Scientific/educational activities which, by their nature, require access to coastal waters (for
                       example: water resource nature centers); and

                 9.    Support facilities which are necessary for the successful functioning of permitted water-
                       dependent uses (for example: parking lots, snack bars, first-aid stations, short-term
                       storage facilities). Though these uses must be near the given water-dependent uses they
                       should, as much as possible, be sited inland from the water-dependent use rather than on
                       the shore.






                                                               111-8








                In addition to water-dependent uses, uses which are enhanced by a waterfront location should
                be encouraged to locate along the shore, though not at the expense of water-dependent uses. A
                water-enhanced use is defined as a use that has no critical dependence on obtaining a waterfront
                location, but the profitability of the use and/or the enjoyment level of the users would. be
                increased significantly if the use were adjacent to, or had visual access to, the waterfront (e.g.,
                restaurants, hotels and other tourist accommodations).

                The Town and Village will facilitate the location and expansion of water-dependent uses in its
                waterfront with particular emphasis on those which will contribute to local revitalization efforts
                and tourism development. Uses to be facilitated include marinas, boat repair or service
                facilities, bait and tackle shops, public boat launches and docks, tour or fishing charter boat
                operations and other marine-related businesses (salvage, dredging, construction, etc.). The
                primary area targeted for such uses is the small harbor area around Morristown Bay (See
                Policies 4 and 4A), with special emphasis on the bay's eastern shore. The eastern shore is
                emphasized because of its suitability (proximity to infrastructure and services, present
                commercial character with viable water-dependent uses already established, and existing
                deteriorated and underutilized conditions with vacant land for future expansion ) and the
                likelihood of competition from non-water dependent uses increasing significantly with the
                installation of public sanitary sewers in the waterfront.

                Additional water-dependent public access and recreation facilities will be stressed along the
                river, both at the State Park and as a multiple use near outer Morristown Bay. If warranted by
                demand, and if feasible in terms of cost and compatibility with adjacent residential uses, such
                facilities will also be pursued elsewhere along the town's shoreline.

                Uses to be encouraged in the vicinity of the small harbor- but not at the expense of water-
                dependent uses - include restaurants, accommodations, tourist shops and other resort
                establishments. In particular, these water-enhanced uses will be favored along the western side
                of outer Morristown Bay and at sites inland of or peripheral to the eastern shore's areas targeted
                for water-dependent uses.

                Poligy Guidelines

                As in the target areas (or areas of emphasis noted above), the selection of other sites where
                water-dependent uses will be encouraged and facilitated shall adhere to the following guidelines:

                1.    Competition for space -- competition for space or the potential for it, should be indicated
                      before any given site is promoted for water-dependent uses. The intent is to match water-
                      dependent uses with suitable locations and thereby reduce any conflicts between competing
                      uses that might arise. Not just any site suitable for development should be chosen as a
                      water-dependent use area. The choice of a site should be made with some meaningful
                      impact on the real estate market anticipated. The anticipated impact could either be one
                      of increased protection to existing water-dependent activities or else the encouragement
                      of water-dependent development.


                                                              111-9









                2.     In-place facilities and services -- most water-dependent uses, if they are to function
                       effectively, will require basic public facilities and services. In selecting appropriate areas
                       for water-dependent uses, consideration should be given to the following factors: the
                       availability of public sewer and water services; ability to accommodate parking and
                       necessary storage; and the accessibility of the site via existing streets.

                3.     Access to navigational channels -- if commercial shipping, commercial fishing, or
                       recreational boating are planned, the locality should consider setting aside a site, within
                       a sheltered harbor, from which access to adequately sized navigation channels would be
                       assured.


                .4.    Compatibility with adjacent uses and the protection of other coastal resources -- water-
                       dependent uses should be located so that they enhance, or at least do not detract from the
                       surrounding community. Consideration should also be given to such factors as the
                       protection of nearby residential areas from odors, noise and traffic.             Affirmative
                       approaches should also be employed so that water-dependent uses and adjacent uses can
                       serve to complement one another. For example, a recreation-oriented water-dependent use
                       area could be sited in an area already oriented towards tourism. Clearly, a marina, fishing
                       pier or swimming area would enhance, and in turn be enhanced by nearby restaurants,
                       motels and other-non-water-oriented tourist activities. Water-dependent uses must also be
                       sited so as to avoid adverse impacts on the significant coastal resources.

                5.     Preference to underutilized sites -- the promotion of water-dependent uses should serve to
                       foster development as a result of the capital programming, permit expediting, and other
                       State and local actions that will be used to promote the site. Nowhere is such a stimulus
                       needed more than in those portions of the village's waterfront areas which are currently
                       underutilized.


                6.     Providing for expansion -- a primary objective of the policy is to create a process by
                       which water-dependent uses can be accommodated well into the future. State agencies,
                       the Town and the Village should therefore give consideration to long-term space needs
                       and, where practicable, accommodate future demand by identifying more land than is
                       needed in the near future.


                In promoting water-dependent uses, all government agencies should favor them in terms of
                capital programming, leasing arrangements on publicly owned land, abatement of property taxes,
                loan guarantees, low interest loans, economic development strategies and permitting procedures.
                The Town and Village will develop and maintain a list of suitable sites available for non-water
                dependent uses to assist developers seeking alternative sites for their proposed uses.

                POLICY 3              THE STATE COASTAL POLICY REGARDING THE
                                     DEVELOPMENT OF MAJOR PORTS IS NOT APPLICABLE TO
                                     MORRISTOWN.





                                                              III-10

               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Revitalization in the Village and, in varying degrees, economic development in both the Town
               and Village will depend on the success of local efforts to re-establish the small harbor functions
               of Morristown Bay. Once the focal point of business and industry for rail and waterborne
               transport of goods and people, the bay's economic role today is rather limited. While the
               railroad, feriy and waterfront industry are not likely to return, the bay has, nonetheless,
               considerable potential as a protected, navigable small harbor for recreational boating and as a
               focal point for local tourism. Local efforts to tap this potential must dovetail closely with
               measures aimed at revitalizing deteriorated and underutilized areas (see Policies 1, 1A and 1B),
               facilitating water-dependent uses (see Policies 2,2A-2C) and concentrating development in areas
               with available infrastructure and services (see Policies 5 and 5A). Protection of the bayside
               views and enhancement of the waterfront image must also be considered as part of harbor
               development (See Policy 25A).

               Poligy Guidelines The following guidelines will be used in determining consistency with these
               policies:

               1.    The action shall give priority to those traditional and/or desired uses which are dependent
                     on or enhanced by a location adjacent to the water (e.g., marinas, boat repair services,
                     tour boat operations, resorts or tourist accommodations).

               2.    The action will enhance or not detract from or adversely affect existing traditional and/or
                     desired anticipated uses.

               3.    The action shall not be out of character with, nor lead to development which would be out
                     of character with, existing development in terms of the area's scale, intensity of use, and
                     architectural style.

               4.    The action must not cause a site to deteriorate, e.g., a structure shall not be abandoned
                     without protecting it against vandalism and/or structural decline.








                5.    The action will not adversely affect the existing economic base of the community, e.g.
                      waterfront development designed to promote residential development might be
                      inappropriate in a harbor area where the economy is dependent upon tourism and
                      recreational fishing and boating.

                6.    The action will not detract from views of the water and smaller harbor area, particularly
                      where the visual quality of the area is an important component of the area's appeal and
                      identity.

                POLICY 5             ENCOURAGE THE LOCATION OF DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS
                                     WHERE PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES ESSENTIAL TO
                                     SUCH DEVELOPMENT ARE ADEQUATE.

                POLICY 5A            MAINTAIN, AND WHERE NECESSARY, IMPROVE
                                     E14FRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES IN THOSE WATERFRONT
                                     AREAS WITH THE PRINCIPAL CONCENTRATIONS OF
                                     COMMERCIAL AND YEAR-ROUND RESIDENTIAL USES.


                POLICY 5B            ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF USES WHICH HAVE
                                     LITTLE OR NO POTENTIAL TO GENERATE A DEMAND ON
                                     PUBLIC SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN THOSE
                                     WATERFRONT AREAS WHERE EXISTING SERVICES ARE
                                     LIMITED AND/OR NONEXISTING.


                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                The governing bodies of the Town and Village can guide and direct the pattern of development
                in the waterfront by use of their construction, taxing, funding and regulatory powers. Whenever
                it is feasible, these powers will be used to foster development within, contiguous to or in close
                proximity to existing areas of concentrated development where adequate infrastructure and public
                services exist or are planned to be made available with reasonable assurances (See Plates 6A,6b
                and 7). Measures to concentrate new development will give due consideration to development
                limiting factors such as bedrock, soil conditions, slope, flood hazard, erosion potential,
                community character and sensitive environmental areas (Ref. Plates 3a, 3b, 5a, and 5b and 7).

                Policy Guidelines For any action that would result in large scale development or an action
                which would facilitate or serve future development, determination shall be made as to whether
                the action is within, contiguous to, or in close proximity to existing areas of concentrated
                development where adequate infrastructure and public services are adequate. The following
                guidelines shall be used in making that determination.

                1.   Cities, built-up suburban towns and villages, and rural villages in the coastal area are
                     generally areas of concentrated development where infrastructure and public services are
                     adequate.



                                                            111-12








               2.     Other locations in the coastal area may also be suitable for development, if three or more
                      of the following conditions prevail:

                      a.    Population density of the area surrounding or adjacent to the proposed site exceeds
                            1,000 persons per square mile;

                      b.    Fewer than 50% of the buildable sites (i.e., sites meeting lot area requirements
                            under existing local zoning regulations) within 1 mile radius of the proposed site are
                            vacant;

                      C.    Proposed site is served by or is near to public or private sewer and water lines;

                      d.    Public transportation service is available within 1 mile of the proposed site; and

                      e     A significant concentration of commercial and/or industrial activity is within one-
                            half mile of the proposed site.

               3.     The  following points shall be considered in assessing the adequacy of an area's
                      infrastructure and public services:

                      a.    Streets and highways serving the proposed site can safely accommodate the peak
                            traffic generated by the proposed land development;

                      b.    Development's water needs (consumptive and fire fighting) can be met by the
                            existing water supply system;

                      C.    Sewage disposal system can accommodate the wastes generated by the development;

                      d.    Energy needs of the proposed land development can be accommodated by existing
                            utility systems;

                      e.    Stormwater runoff from the proposed site can be accommodated by on-site and/or
                            off-site facilities; and

                      f.    Schools, police and fire protection, and health and social services are adequate to
                            meet the needs of the population expected to live, work, shop, or conduct business
                            in the area as a result of the development.

               It is recognized that certain forms of development may and/or should occur at locations which
               are not within or near areas of concentrated development. Thus, this coastal development policy
               does not apply to the following types of development projects and activities.

                      Economic activities which depend upon sites at or near locations where natural resources
                      are present, e.g., lumber industry, quarries.


                                                             111-13








                      Development which is designed to be a self-contained activity, e.g., a small college, an
                      academic or religious retreat.

                      Water-dependent uses with site requirements not compatible with this policy or when
                      alternative sites are not available.


                      Uses and/or activities which because of public safety consideration should be located away
                      from populous areas.

                      Rehabilitation or restoration of existing structures and facilities.

                      Development projects which are essential to the construction and/or operation of the above
                      uses and activities.


                In certain areas where development is encouraged by these polices, the condition of existing
                public water and sewage infrastructure and other services may necessitate improvements. Those
                State and federal agencies charged with allocating funds for investments in public services and
                water and sewer facilities should give high priority to the needs of such areas so that full
                advantage may be taken of the array of their other infrastructure components in promoting
                waterfront revitalization.


                POLICY 6             EXPEDITE PERMIT PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO FACILITATE
                                     THE SITING OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AT SUITABLE
                                     LOCATIONS.


                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                For specific types of development activities, and in areas suitable for such development, the
                Town and Village will make every reasonable effort to coordinate and expedite local permit
                procedures and regulatory activities as long as the integrity of the regulatory objectives is not
                jeopardized. Nevertheless, the Town and Village efforts in expediting permit procedures are
                part of a much larger system for regulating development, which also includes county, State and
                federal government agencies. Regulatory programs and procedures should be coordinated and
                synchronized between all levels of government and, if necessary, legislative and/or
                programmatic changes will be recommended from the local level.

               EXPLANATION OF POLIC


               Chippewa Creek Marsh is a habitat area with local significance that has been proposed for
               designation as a State Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat. Chippewa Creek Marsh is
               one of about four very large, undeveloped, streamside wetland ecosystems along the St.
               Lawrence River. It provides valuable habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife species (Ref.:
               Sect. II, Part 1, E. Analysi 1, Plate 5b, and Figure lb.)

               Any activity that would substantially degrade water quality, increase turbidity or sedimentation,
               reduce water levels, alter flows, or increase water level fluctuations in Chippewa Creek Marsh
               could adversely affect a variety of fish and wildlife species. Discharges of sewage or storm
               water runoff containing sediments or chemical pollutants (including fertilizers, herbicides, or
               insecticides) may result in adverse impacts on fish and wildlife resources in the area. Spills of
               oil or other hazardous substances are a potentially serious threat to fish and wildlife in Chippewa
               Creek Marsh, and every effort should be made to prevent such contamination. Elimination of
               wetland habitats or significant human encroachment into the area, through dredging, filling,
               construction of roads, waste disposal, or motorboat access development, could severely reduce
               its value to fish and wildlife. Channelization would reduce stream channel diversity, and result
               in a direct loss of valuable habitat area. However, habitat management activities, including
               water level management, may be designed to maintain or enhance populations of certain fish or
               wildlife species. Any significant disturbarice of Chippewa Creek Marsh would be especially
               detrimental during fish spawning and nursery periods (March-July for most warmwater species)
               and wildlife breeding seasons (April-July for most species). Barriers to fish migration in the
               creek, whether physical or chemical, could have significant impacts on fish populations within
               the marsh, and in Chippewa Bay. Existing areas of natural vegetation bordering Chippewa
               Creek Marsh should be maintained for their value as cover for wildlife, perch sites, and buffer
               zones. Efforts should be made to reduce stream disturbance by agricultural activities, especially
               grazing, through fencing and restoration of riparian vegetation. Development of additional
               public access may be desirable to increase compatible human uses of the marsh, but must be
               designed to minimize disturbance of sensitive fish and wildlife species that occur in the area.

               In order to protect this habitat, development shall not be undertaken if it may destroy or
               significantly impair the viability of the area as a habitat. Potentially damaging actions, such as
               those described above, would be inconsistent with this policy.

                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                American Island Pools is a habitat area with local significance that has been proposed for
                designation as a State Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat. The American Island Pools
                is an area in the St. Lawrence River containing relatively large, open water pools during the ice-
                in season. During the winter months (December-March), the pools attract major concentrations
                of migratory birds, including American Bald Eagles (Ref.: Sect.Il, Part 1, E. Analysis, 2, Plate
                5b, and Figure la.)

                Any activity that would substantially degrade water quality, alter river flows or ice formation,
                or increase human disturbance at American Island Pools could adversely affect fish and wildlife
                use of this area. Winter navigation use of the St. Lawrence Seaway could be an especially
                serious threat to the area, as a result of flow diversion, shipping traffic in the vicinity, and
                increased risk of spills of oil or other hazardous substances. Major physical alteration to the
                river channel, through dredging or installation of diversion structures (including water supply
                intakes), could enhance ice formation around American Island and impact critical wildlife
                feeding areas. Introduction of toxic chemicals from upstream sources may also affect bird
                populations using these pools. Thermal discharges, depending on time of year, may have
                variable effects on use of the area by aquatic species and migratory birds. Human disturbances
                around American Island Pools should be minimized from December through March.

                In order to protect these two habitats, development shall not be undertaken if it may destroy or
                significantly impair the viability of the area as a habitat. Potentially damaging actions, such as
                those described above, would be inconsistent with this policy.

                POLICY 7C            OTHER HABITAT AREAS OF LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE

                                     MORRISTOWN.


                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Habitat protection is recognized as fundamental to assuring the survival of fish and wildlife
                populations. Land and water uses or development shall not be undertaken if such actions destroy
                or significantly impair the viability of a habitat area with local significance. When the action
                significantly reduces a vital resource (e.g., temperature, substrate) beyond the tolerance range
                of an organism, then the action would be considered to "significantly impair" the habitat.


                                                             111-16








               Indicators of a significantly impaired habitat may include: reduced carrying capacity, changes
               in community structure (food chain relationships, species diversity), reduced productivity and/or
               increased incidence of disease and mortality.

               Morristown Bay, Bogardus Island, Perch Bay, and the littoral waters off Jacques Cartier State
               Park are habitat areas with local significance. (Ref.: Sect. II, Part 1, E. Analysis, c-f, Plates
               5a and 5b.) Each of these areas is popular for fishing. The waters off the State Park are also
               important for waterfowl hunting. An of these habitat areas are supportive of the local tourism
               and recreation economies.


               The bluff shoreline from Blackstone Bay downriver to the Jacques Cartier State Park has been
               identified as an American Bald Eagle roosting and feeding site and as such has been determined
               to be a habitat of local significance. Future research may determine expanded useage which may
               upgrade this designation. Any proposed development shall not jeopardize this habitat by
               disturbing or removing the vegetation that makes this habitat attractive.

               Those waters downriver of Point Comfort have been identified as muskellunge spawning and
               rearing areas. Any future development in this general area shall not endanger the viability of
               these waters.


               Proposed public or private development actions in or near these six locally significant habitat
               areas must be undertaken in a manner that will not jeopardize their continued viability.

               Policy Guidelines

               The range of generic activities most likely to affect the above six habitat areas of local
               significance includes, but is not limited to, the following:

               1.    Draining wetlands, ponds: Cause changes in vegetation, or changes in groundwater and
                     surface water hydrology.

               2.    Filling wetlands, shallow areas of streams, lakes, bays, estuaries: May change physical
                     character of substrate (e.g., sandy to muddy, or smother vegetation, alter surface water
                     hydrology).

               3.    Grading land: Results in vegetation removal, increased surface runoff, or increase soil
                     erosion and downstream sedimentation.


               4.    Clear cutting: May cause loss of vegetative cover, increase fluctuations in amount of
                     surface runoff, or increase streambed scouring, soil erosion, sediment deposition.

               5.    Dredging or excavation: May cause change in substrate composition, possible release of
                     contaminants otherwise stored in sediments, removal of aquatic vegetation, or change
                     circulation patterns and sediment transport mechanisms.


                                                            111-17








                6.    Dredge spoil disposal: May induce shoaling of littoral areas, or change circulation
                      patterns.

                7.    Physical alteration of shore areas through channelization or construction of shore
                      structures: May change volume and rate of flow or increase scouring, sedimentation.

                8.    Introduction, storage or disposal of pollutants such as chemical, petrochemical, solid
                      wastes, nuclear wastes, toxic material pesticide, sewage effluent, urban and rural runoff,
                      leachate of hazardous and toxic substances stores in landfills: May cause increased
                      mortality or sublethal effects on organisms, alter their reproductive capabilities, or reduce
                      their value as food organisms.

                The range of physical, biological and chemical parameters which should be considered includes,
                but is not limited to, the following:

                      Physical parameters such as: Living space, circulation, flushing rates, tidal amplitude,
                      turbidity, water temperature, depth (loss of littoral zone), morphology, substrate type,
                      vegetation, structure, erosion and sedimentation rates.

                      Biological parameters such as: Community structure, food chain relationships, species
                      diversity, predator/prey relationships, population, size mortality rates, reproductive rates,
                      behavioral patterns, and migratory patterns.

                      Chemical parameters such as: Dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, ph, dissolved solids,
                      nutrients, organics, salinity, pollutants (heavy metals, toxic and hazardous materials).

                When a proposed action is likely to alter any of the biological, physical or chemical parameters
                as described above beyond the tolerance range of the organisms occupying the habitat, the
                viability of that habitat has been significantly impaired or destroyed. Such action, therefore,
                would be inconsistent with the above policy.

                                     AREA FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF HAZARDOUS WASTES
                                     AND OTHER POLLUTANTS WHICH BIOACCUMULATE IN THE
                                     FOOD CHAIN OR WHICH CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SUBLETHAL OR
                                     LETHAL EFFECTS ON THOSE RESOURCES.



                EXPLANATION OF POLICY.


                Hazardous wastes are unwanted by-products of manufacturing processes and are generally
                characterized as being flammable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic. More specifically, hazardous
                waste is defined in Environmental Conservation Law (S27-0901 (3) as "waste or combination
                of wastes which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious



                                                             111-18








               characteristics may: (1) cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an
               increase in serious irreversible; or (2) pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human
               health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed or otherwise
               managed." A list of hazardous wastes has been adopted by the Department of Conservation (6
               NYCRR Part 371).

               The handling (storage, transport, treatment and disposal) of the materials included on this list
               is being strictly regulated in New York State to prevent their entry or introduction into the
               environment, particularly into the State's air, land and waters. Such controls should effectively
               minimize possible contamination of and bioaccumulation in the State's coastal fish and wildlife
               resources at levels that cause mortality or create physiological and behavioral disorders.

               Other pollutants are those conventional wastes, generated from point and non-point sources, and
               not identified as hazardous wastes but controlled through other State laws. All public agencies
               must consider the absence of sewers in the town's waterfront and the extent therein of soils
               poorly suited to the use of conventional septic systems as constraints to intensive development
               in the vicinity of identified fish and wildlife habitats. (Ref.: Plates 3a, 3b, 6a, and 6b.)

               POLICY 9             EXPAND RECREATIONAL USE OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
                                    RESOURCES IN COASTAL AREAS BY INCREASING ACCESS TO
                                    EXISTING RESOURCES, SUPPLEMENTING EXISTING STOCKS,
                                    AND DEVELOPING NEW RESOURCES.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Recreational uses of coastal fish and wildlife resources include consumptive uses such as fishing
               and hunting, and non-consumptive uses such as wildlife photography, bird -watching and nature
               study.

               Any efforts to increase recreational use of these resources will be made in a manner which
               ensures the protection of fish and wildlife resources in the waterfront area and which takes into
               consideration other activities dependent on these resources. Also, such efforts must be made in
               accordance with existing State law and in keeping with sound resource management
               considerations. Such considerations include biology of the species, carrying capacity of the
               resource, public demand, costs and available technology.

               The Town and Village waterfront areas contain a variety of fish and wildlife habitats.
               Recreational demand for fishing and, to lesser extents, hunting and trapping has increased
               significantly in the Thousand Islands region and in the local waterfront area. To accommodate
               this demand, the Town and Village will work cooperatively with other public and private
               interests to expand fish and wildlife resources (e.g., through stocking) and to increase the
               recreational use of such resources (see Policies 19 through 22).

                Policy Guidelines

                The following should be considered by all government agencies as they determine the
                consistency of their proposed action with the above policy:

                1.    Consideration should be made as to whether such action will impede existing or future
                      utilization of recreational fish and wildlife resources in the local waterfront area.


                2.    Efforts to increase access to recreational fish and wildlife resources should not lead to
                      overutilization of that resource or cause impairment of the habitat. Sometimes such
                      impairment can be more subtle than actual physical damage to the habitat. For example,
                      increased human presence can deter animals from using the habitat area.

                3.    The impacts of increasing access to recreational fish and wildlife resources should be
                      determined on a case-by-case basis, consulting the significant habitat narrative (see
                      Policies 7a, 7b, and 7c) and/or conferring with a trained fish and wildlife biologist.

                4.    Any public or private sector initiatives to supplement existing stocks (e.g., stocking a
                      stream with fish reared in a hatchery) or develop new resources (e.g., creating private fee-
                      hunting or fee-fishing facilities) must be done in accord with existing State law.

                POLICY 10            THE STATE COASTAL POLICY REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF
                                     COMMERCIAL FISHING IS NOT APPLICABLE TO

                FLOODING AND EROSION HAZARDS POLICIES


                POLICY 11            BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES WILL BE SITED IN THE
                                     COASTAL AREA SO AS TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
                                     AND THE ENDANGERING OF HUMAN LIVES CAUSED BY
                                     FLOODING AND EROSION.


                Explanation of Policy

                Flooding: Areas of special flood hazard in the Town and Village were identified and mapped
                by the Federal Insurance Administration (Ref: Sect. H, Part 1, C. Analysi , F). These areas
                are subject to local flood control regulations of the two communities.

                Shoreline Erosion: (Not Applicable.) Coastal erosion is addressed by the State Coastal Erosion
                Hazard Area Law of 1981, ECL Article 34 (CEHA) which sets up a development permit system
                and requires DEC to map all coastal Erosion Hazard Areas in the State. DEC has indicated,
                however, that they do not have plans to identify Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas along the St.
                Lawrence River. In addition, based on existing information, it is unlikely that the local
                waterfront area would have sufficient coastal erosion to warrant the adoption of CEHA



                                                             111-20








               regulations at any level of government. Local officials have not identified any shoreline subject
               to measurable active erosion. Because of the very rocky nature of the St. Lawrence River
               shoreline along the Village and Town waterfront areas, shoreline erosion is not an issue (Ref.:
               Sect. H, Part 1, C. Analysis, e.)

               Upland Erosion: Upland erosion is not likely to be a significant concern within the local
               waterfront area (Ref: Section 11, C. Analysis, e). Nevertheless, tilling of the soils in the
               southeasterly portion of the village may be contributing to the siltation that has been occurring
               in inner Morristown Bay (Ref. Sect. 111, Part 1, C. Analysi , d). Public and private actions
               involving development in this area should be guided to avoid or minimize substantial disturbance
               of existing vegetative cover to prevent erosion or, at a minimum, be required to employ suitable
               erosion and sedimentation control techniques after disturbance has occurred, including proper
               drainage.

                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                The northernmost stretch of shoreline along the easterly side of outer Morristown Bay is exposed
                to wind driven wave action and ice movement. (Ref.: Sect. 111, Part 1, C. Analysi , 5.) These
                forces cannot be ignored when shoreline structures are to be installed.

                Proper design, construction and maintenance of shoreline structures will prolong their utility and
                benefits when resistance to wave and ice action is included as a design parameter. This policy
                will thus assist in slowing the rate of deterioration of shoreline structures and in avoiding
                disruptions or losses of public access to the St. Lawrence River by increasing the durability of
                such structures. Government agencies must consider the risk that wave and ice action impose
                on either public or private capital investment in shoreline structures, especially where water
                depth, current or other limiting site conditions require more costly design, construction and
                maintenance practices.

                POLICY 14            ACTIVITIES AND DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING THE
                                     CONSTRUCTION OR RECONSTRUCTION OF EROSION
                                     PROTECTION STRUCTURES, SHALL BE UNDERTAKEN SO
                                     THAT THERE WELL BE NO MEASURABLE INCREASE IN
                                     EROSION OR FLOODING AT THE SITE OF SUCH ACTIVITIES
                                     OR DEVELOPMENT, OR AT OTHER LOCATIONS.

                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Flooding: Flooding is a process which occurs naturally. However, by his actions, man can
                increase the severity and adverse effects of this process, causing damage to, or loss of property,
                and endangering human lives. Those actions include the placing of structures in identified
                floodways so that the base flood level is increased causing damage in otherwise hazard-free
                areas.


                Erosion: Not AWlicable. (See Policy 11 - "Shoreline Erosion.)"

                                    PROPOSED WATER-DEPENDENT USES MUST RELY.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Wind driven wave action and ice movement represent destructive forces which cause
               considerable short- and long-term damages to shoreline structures. Town and Village investment
               in shoreline structures exposed to these forces is generally unwise unless sufficient capital is
               expended to ensure such structures have sufficient strength and durability. Measures to diminish
               the severity of wave action or ice movement may be needed to protect life, limb or property.
               However, Town and Village investment in measures to protect properties must, as in the
               construction of shoreline structures in more "posed areas, weigh the economic benefits accruing
               to these communities and their waterfront areas against public costs.

                                     WAVE ACTION AND ICE MOVEMENT.


                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Flooding: This policy recognizes both the potential adverse impacts of flooding and erosion
                upon development in the coastal area, as well as the costs of protection against those hazards
                which structural measures entail.


                In determining whether or not non-structural measures to protect against erosion or flooding will
                afford the degree of protection appropriate, an analysis, and if necessary, other materials such
                as plans or sketches of the activity or development, of the site and of the alternative protection
                measures should be prepared to allow an assessment to be made.

                "Nonstructural measures" within identified flood hazard areas shall include, but not be limited
                to: (a) the avoidance of risk or damage from flooding by the setting back of buildings and (b)
                their elevation above the base flood level.


                Erosion: Not applicable (See Policy I I - "Shoreline Erosion.")

                Wave action and ice movement: Nonstructural measures to minimize damage from wave action
                and ice movement primarily involve facilitating the location of water-dependent uses which rely
                on shoreline structures in areas of the waterfront less exposed to such forces (see Policy 2).

                                     ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT SUCH RESOURCES.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Proposed major actions may be undertaken in the coastal area if they will not significantly impair
               valuable coastal waters and resources, thus frustrating the achievement of the purposes of the
               safeguards which the State and the Town and Village have established to protect those waters
               and resources. Proposed actions must take into account the social, economic, and environmental
               interests of the State, the Town and Village and their citizens in such matters that could affect
               natural resources, water levels and flows, shoreline damage, and recreation. Furthermore,
               proposed actions within the local waterfront area must recognize the importance of tourism to
               the village's economy and the roles that local cultural resources, public access and recreation
               facilities, water-dependent uses, and the natural coastal environment play in sustaining healthy
               tourism. Local safeguards augment those of the State in protecting valuable coastal resources.

                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                This policy calls for achieving balance among the following factors: the level of access to a
                resource or facility, the capacity of a resource or facility, and the protection of natural resources.
                Because the imbalance among these factors is often due to access-related problems, priority will
                be given to improving physical access to existing and potential coastal recreation sites. This
                program will encourage mixed use areas and multiple use of facilities to improve access.

                Priority for improved public access in the local waterfront area will be given to outer
                Morristown Bay and Jacques Cartier State Park where demand has increased considerably in
                recent years (Ref: Sect. 11, Part 2,B. Analysis, al to a3). In both areas, emphasis will be
                placed on improvements which provide for adequate parking, additional boat launching and
                docldng capacity, and improved pedestrian safety.

                Three additional sites have been identified as having public access potential: Wright's Marina,
                the southeast comer of inner Morristown Bay, and the northernmost end of English Settlement
                Road (Ref. Sect. II, Part 2, B. Analysis and Plate 8a). The feasibility of these sites must be
                carefully evaluated in terms of compatibility with adjoining uses, constraints imposed by specific
                site conditions, level of access warranted by demand, costs of "fee simple" acquisition,
                easements or leases and costs of access improvements.

                Measures taken to increase public access should enhance or, at a minimum, be consistent with
                local efforts to revitalize deteriorated and/or underutilized area, facilitate water-dependent uses,
                develop the small harbor potential of outer Morristown Bay and increase recreational use of the




                                                                111-26








                river and bay and their fish and wildlife resources. (See Policies 1, 1A-11), 2, 2A and 2B, 4,
                and 9.)

                All government agencies must give consideration to the existing and potential public access sites
                in the Town and Village when considering proposed development actions. They should, to the
                extent permitted by other coastal policies, encourage new or improved vehicular, pedestrian and
                waterborne access to the water while ensuring that their actions do not jeopardize present levels
                of access.


                PoliU Guidelines

                The following guidelines will be used in determining the consistency of a proposed action with
                this policy:

                1.    The existing access from adjacent or proximate public lands or facilities to public water-
                      related recreation resources and facilities shall not be reduced, nor shall the possibility of
                      increasing access in the future from adjacent or proximate public lands or facilities to
                      public water-related recreation resources and facilities be eliminated, unless in the latter
                      case, estimates of future use of these resources and facilities are too low to justify
                      maintaining or providing increased public access.

                2.    Any proposed project to increase public access to public water-related recreation resources
                      and facilities shall be analyzed according to the following factors:

                      a.     The level of access to be provided should be in accord with estimated public use.
                             If not, the proposed level of access to be provided shall be deemed inconsistent with
                             the policy.

                      b.     The level of access to be provided shall not cause a degree of use which would
                             exceed the physical capability of the resource or facility. If this were determined
                             to be the case, the proposed level of access to be provided shall be deemed
                             inconsistent with the policy.

                3.    The State, Town, and Village will not undertake or fund any project which increases
                      access to a public water-related recreation resource or facility that is not open to all
                      members of the public.

                4.    In their plans and programs for increasing public access to public water-related recreation
                      resources and facilities, government agencies shall give priority in the following order to
                      projects located: within the boundaries of the Federal Aid Metropolitan Urban Area and
                      served by public transportation; within the boundaries of the Federal Aid Metropolitan
                      Urban Area but not served by public transportation; outside the defined Urban Area
                      boundary and served by public transportation; and outside the defined urban Area
                      boundary but not served by public transportation.


                                                              111-27









                The following is an explanation of the terms used in the above guidelines:

                       a.    Access - the ability and right of the public to reach and use public coastal lands,
                             waters and/or water-related recreation resources or facilities.


                       b.    Public water-related recreation resources or facilities - all public lands or facilities
                             that are suitable for passive or active recreation that require either water or a
                             waterfront location or are enhanced by a waterfront location.

                       C.    Public lands or facilities-lands or facilities held by State or local government in fee-
                             simple or less-than-fee-simple ownership and to which the public has access or could
                             have access, including underwater lands and the foreshore.

                       d.    A reduction in the existing level of public access - includes but is not limited to the
                             following:

                             1 .      The number of parking spaces at a public water-related
                                      recreation resource or facility is significantly reduced.

                             2.       Pedestrian access is diminished or eliminated because of
                                      hazardous crossings required at new or altered transportation facilities,
                                      electric power transmission lines, or similar linear facilities.

                             3.       Pedestrian access is diminished or blocked completely by public or private
                                      development.

                       e.    An elimination of the possibility of increasing public access in the future includes,
                             but is not limited to the following:

                             1 .      Construction/modification of public facilities which physically prevent the
                                      provision, except at great expense, of convenient public access to public
                                      water-related recreation resources and facilities or to public coastal lands
                                      or waters.


                             2.       Sale, lease, or other conveyance of public property that could provide
                                      public access to a public water-related recreation resource or facility or to
                                      public coastal lands and/or waters, except where such sale, lease or other
                                      conveyance entails offsetting gains in public access.

                             3.       Construction of private facilities which physically prevent the provision of
                                      convenient public access to a public witer-related recreation resource or
                                      facility or to public coastal lands and/or waters from public lands and
                                      facilities.







                                                               111-28

                                STATE PARK AND MORRISTOWN BAY.


               POLICY 20B IF FEASIBLE, ACQUIRE ABANDONED RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY
                                WHERE SUCH LAND WOULD ENHANCE EXISTING PUBLIC ACCESS
                                OR SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL PUBLIC ACCESS
                                SITES.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY

               The local waterfront area has limited area for public water-based recreational activity outside
               of Jacques Cartier State Park and the Village Park along the east side of outer Morristown Bay.
               Although additional sites have potential for public access to the water (Ref. Sect. II, Part 2,B.
               Analysis, their feasibility is uncertain and subject to further study.

               Access can be enhanced, however, by improving the River Road pavement shoulder for
               pedestrian and bicycle use and by acquiring abandoned railroad right-of-way along the river
               north of Chapman Street and near the southeast comer of Morristown Bay.                        The
               pedestrian/bicycling path will increase the modes of travel between water-based access in the
               State Park and Morristown Bay. It will also allow its uses to enjoy the vistas of the river
               (viewed between the shoreline cottages) which are more difficult for motorists to view. The
               Village and Town acquired railroad right-of-way near the river and constructed Riverview Drive
               to facilitate access between Morristown Bay and shoreline cottage areas to the east. The Village
               also acquired railroad right-of-way from Main Street to the southeast comer of the inner bay.
               This recently acquired right-of-way offers the potential for future public access to an area
               otherwise inaccessible except by water.

               When taking action on development proposals, all government agencies must give due
               consideration to Town and Village efforts to acquire and/or improve road or abandoned railroad
               right-of-way for public access purposes.        Government agencies must also consider the
               compatibility of public access use with residential uses along the river and bay. Wetlands and
               fish and wildlife habitat around the southern end of the bay must also be taken into account.

               While such publicly-owned lands referenced in the policy shall be retained in public ownership,
               traditional sales of easements on lands underwater to adjacent onshore property owners are
               consistent with this policy, provided such easements do not substantially interfere with continued
               public use of the public lands on which the easement is granted. Also, public use of such


                                                            111-29








                publicly-owned underwater lands and lands immediately adjacent to the shore shaR be
                discouraged where such use would be inappropriate for reasons of public safety, military
                security, or the protection of fragile coastal resources.

                Policy Guidelines

                The following will be used in determining the consistency of a purposed action with this policy:

                1.    Existing access from adjacent or proximate public lands or facilities to existing public
                      coastal lands and/or waters shall not be reduced or eliminated, nor shall the possibility of
                      increasing access in the future from adjacent or nearby public lands or facilities to public
                      coastal lands and/or waters be eliminated, unless such actions are demonstrated to be of
                      overriding local, regional or statewide public benefit, or in the latter case, estimates of
                      future use of these lands and waters are too low to justify maintaining or providing
                      increased access.

                2.    The existing level public access within public coastal lands or waters shall not be reduced
                      or eliminated.


                3.    Public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast shall
                      be provided by new land use or development except where (a) it is inconsistent with public
                      safety, military security, or the protection of identified fragile coastal resources; or (b)
                      adequate access exists within one-half mile. Such access shall not be required to be open
                      to public use until a public agency or private association agrees to accept responsibility
                      for maintenance and liability of the accessway.

                4.    Government agencies will not undertake or fund any project which increases access to a
                      water-related resource or facility that is not open to all members of the public.

                5.    In their plans and programs for increasing public access to public coastal lands,
                      government agencies shall give priority in the following order to projects located: within
                      the boundaries of the Federal Aid Metropolitan Urban Area and served by public
                      transportation; within the boundaries of the Federal Aid Metropolitan Urban Area but not
                      served by public transportation; outside the defined Urban Area boundary and served by
                      public transportation; and outside the defined Urban Area boundary but not served by
                      public transportation.

                6.    Proposals for increased public access to coastal lands and waters shall be analyzed
                      according to the following factors:

                      a.    The level of access to be provided should be in accord with estimated public use.
                            If not, the proposed level of access to be provided shall be deemed inconsistent with
                            the policy.

                      b.    The level of access to be provided shall not cause a degree of use which would
                            exceed the physical capability of the resource. If this were determined to be the


                                                             111-30








                            case, the proposed level of access to be provided shall be deemed inconsistent with
                            the policy.

               The explanation of terms provided under Policy 19 shall apply to the above guidelines.

               RECREATION POLICIES


               POLICY 21       WATER-DEPENDENT AND WATER-ENHANCED RECREATION SHALL
                               BE ENCOURAGED AND FACILITATED AND SHALL BE GIVEN
                               PRIORITY OVER NONWATER RELATED USES ALONG THE COAST,
                               PROVIDED IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PRESERVATION AND
                               ENHANCEMENT OF OTHER COASTAL RESOURCES AND TAKES

                               FACILITATING SUCH ACTIVITIES, PRIORITY SHALL BE GIVEN TO
                               AREAS WHERE ACCESS TO THE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES OF
                               THE COAST CAN BE PROVIDED BY NEW OR EXISTING PUBLIC
                               TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND TO THOSE AREAS WHERE THE
                               USE OF THE SHORE IS SEVERELY RESTRICTED BY EXISTING
                               DEVELOPMENT.

                               THE LOCAL WATERFRONT AREA AND, TO THE EXTENT
                               COMMENSURATE WITH EXISTING AND PROPOSED RECREATION
                               RESOURCES,, SUCH ACTIVITIES SHALL BE FACILITATED IN THE
                               VICINITY OF MORRISTOWN BAY AND JACQUES CARTIER STATE
                               PARK.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Water-related recreation includes such obviously water-dependent activities as boating,
               swimming, and fishing, as well as certain activities which are enhanced by coastal location and
               increase the general public's access to the coast such as pedestrian and bicycle trails, picnic
               areas, scenic overlooks and passive recreation areas that take advantage of coastal scenery.

               Provided the development of water-related recreation is consistent with the preservation and
               enhancement of such important coastal resources as fish and wildlife habitats, aesthetically
               significant areas, and historic and cultural resources (e.g., see Policies 7,8, 9, and 23-25) and
               provided demand exists, water-related recreation development is to be increased and such uses
               shall have a higher priority than any non-coastal dependent uses, including nonwater-related
               recreation uses. In addition, water-dependent recreation uses shall have a higher priority over
               water-enhanced recreation uses. Determining a priority among coastal dependent uses will
               require a case-by-case analysis.



                                                            111-31








                The siting or design of new public development in a manner which would result in a barrier to
                the recreational use of a major portion of a community's shore should be avoided as much a
                practicable.

                Among the types of water-dependent recreation, provision of adequate boating services to meet
                future demand is to be encouraged by this program. The siting of boating facilities must be
                consistent with preservation and enhancement of other coastal resources and with their capacity
                to accommodate demand, but such public actions should avoid competing with private boating
                development. Boating facilities will, as appropriate, include parking, park-like surroundings,
                toilet facilities, and pumpout facilities.

                Faced with increased demand for recreation activity in the local waterfront area (Ref- Sect.H,
                Part 2, B. Analysi , 1 and 2), the Town and Village must encourage and actively assist the
                development of both public and private recreational facilities. While numerous forms of water-
                dependent recreation are possible, boating, fishing, swimming, camping and sight-seeing are the
                most prevalent and the most likely to face substantial increases in demand. Much of the demand
                for these forms of recreation can be met by expanding and/or improving existing facilities in
                outer Morristown Bay and at Jacques Cartier State Park. However, future demand will
                undoubtedly necessitate the acquisition of additional public access (see Policies 19, 19A-19C,
                20, 20A and 20B). Such lands should be given priority for the development of recreational
                facilities in a manner consistent with other applicable coastal policies.

                Nonmotorized recreation such as cross-country skiing, hiking and canoeing shall also be
                encouraged in the local waterfront area. Water-related off-road recreational vehicle use is an
                acceptable activity, provided no adverse environmental impacts occur.           Where adverse
                environmental impact will occur, mitigating measures will be implemented, where practicable,
                to minimize such adverse impacts. If acceptable mitigation is not practicable, prohibition of the
                use by off-road recreational vehicles will be posted and enforced. Presently, cross-country
                skiing and snowmobiling are permitted in the State Park. Canoeing is possible in inner
                Morristown Bay and Chippewa Creek Marsh.

                POLICY 22      DEVELOPMENT, WHEN LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE SHORE,
                               SHALL PROVIDE FOR WATER RELATED RECREATION, AS A
                               MULTIPLE USE, WHENEVER SUCH RECREATIONAL USE IS
                               APPROPRIATE IN LIGHT OF REASONABLY ANTICIPATED DEMAND
                               FOR SUCH ACTIVITIES AND THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE
                               DEVELOPMENT.


                POLICY 22A          PUBLIC ACCESS AS A MULTIPLE USE WILL BE REQUIRED
                                    AROUND MORRISTOWN BAY WHENEVER SUCH MULTIPLE
                                    USE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE NATURE AND PURPOSES OF
                                    SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT THERE
                                    AND WARRANTED BY REASONABLY ANTICIPATED DEMAND.








                                                            111-32











                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Many developments present practical opportunities for providing recreation facilities as , an
                additional use of the site or facility. Therefore, whenever developments are located adjacent to
                the shore, they should to the fullest extent permitted by existing law provide for some form of
                water-related recreation use unless there are compelling reasons why any form of such recreation
                would not be compatible with the development, or a reasonable demand for public use cannot
                be foreseen.

                The types of development which can generally provide water-related recreation as a multiple use
                include but are not limited to:
                                          highways
                                          utility transmission rights-of-way
                                          sewage treatment facilities
                                          mental health facilities*
                                          hospitals*
                                          prisons*
                                          schools, universities*
                                          military facilities*
                                          nature preserves*
                                          large residential subdivisions (50 units)
                                          office buildings

                 The types of recreation uses likely to be compatible with these facilities are limited to the more
                passive forms, such as trails or fishing access. hi some cases, land areas not directly or
                immediately needed by the facility could be used for recreation.

                Prior to taking action relative to any development, government agencies should consult with the
                State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, and the Town and Village of
                Morristown to determine appropriate recreation uses. The agency should provide OPRHP and
                the Town and Village with the opportunity to participate in project planning.

                Appropriate recreation uses which do not require any substantial additional construction shall be
                provided at the expense of the project sponsor provided the cost does not exceed 2% of total
                project cost.

                In determining whether compelling reasons exist which would make inadvisable recreation as
                a multiple use, safety considerations should reflect a recognition that some risk is acceptable in
                the use of recreational facilities.

                The current proposal to expand Wright's Marina at the mouth of the bay has included public
                access as a multiple use. Municipal approvals of this proposal and other private developments
                can, with provisions for public access, further strengthen the small harbor role of Morristown
                @ay, increase the recreational use of the river and bay resources, and expand waterfront tourism
                in general (see Policies 4, 4A, 18A, 21 and 21A).


                                                             111-33

                                 ARCHITECTURE, ARCHAEOLOGY OR CULTURE OF THE STATE,
                                 ITS COMMUNITIES OR THE NATION.


                POLICY 23A ENCOURAGE PRIVATE RESTORATION, REHABILITATION AND
                                 PRESERVATION OFMISTORIC STRUCTURES HAVING ONLY LOCAL
                                 SIGNIFICANCE.


                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Among the most valuable of the State's man-made resources are those structures or areas which
                are of historic, archaeological, or cultural significance. The protection of these structures must
                involve a recognition of their importance by all agencies and the ability to identify and describe
                them. Protection must include concern not just with specific sites but with areas of significance,
                and with the area around specific sites.

                Policy 23 is not to be construed as a passive mandate but must include active efforts when
                appropriate to restore or revitalize through adaptive reuse. While the program is concerned with
                the preservation of all such resources within the coastal boundary, it will actively promote the
                preservation of historic and cultural resources which have a coastal relationship.

                All practicable means to protect structures, districts, areas or sites that are of significance in the
                history, architecture, archaeology or culture of the State, its communities or the Nation shall be
                deemed to include the consideration and adoption of any techniques, measures, or controls to
                prevent a significant adverse change to such significant structures, districts, areas or sites. A
                significant adverse change includes but is not limited to:

                       1     Alteration of or addition to one or more of the architectural, structural ornamental
                             or functional features of a building, structure, or site that is a recognized historic,
                             cultural, or archaeological resource, or component thereof. Such features are
                             defined as encompassing the style and general arrangement of the exterior of a
                             structure and any original or historically significant interior features including type,
                             color and texture of building materials; entryways and doors;                fenestration;
                             lighting fixtures; roofing, sculpture and carving; steps; rails; fencing; windows;
                             vents and other openings; grillwork; signs; canopies; and other appurtenant
                             fixtures and, in addition, all buildings, structures, outbuildings, waM, fences, steps,
                             topographical features, earthworks, paving and signs located on the designated
                             resource property. (To the extent they are relevant, the Secretary of the Interior's
                             "Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings"
                             shall be adhered to.)

                      2.     Demolition or removal in full or part of a building, structure, or earthworks that is
                             a recognized historic, cultural, or archaeological resource or component thereof, to
                             include all those features described in 1, above plus any other appurtenant fixture
                             associated with a building structure or earthwork.


                                                               111-34








                      3.     All proposed actions within 500 feet of the perimeter of the property boundary of
                             the historic, architectural, cultural, or archaeological resource and all actions within
                             an historic district that would be incompatible with the objective of preserving the
                             quality and integrity of the resource. Primary considerations to be used in making
                             judgement about compatibility should focus on the visual and locational relationship
                             between the proposed action and the special character of the historic, cultural, or
                             archaeological resource.     Compatibility between the proposed action and the
                             resource means that the general appearance of the resource should be reflected in
                             the architectural style, design material, scale, proportion, composition, mass, line,
                             color, texture, detail, setback, landscaping and related items of the proposed actions.
                             With historic districts this would include infrastructure improvements or changes,
                             such as street and sidewalk paving, street furniture and lighting.

                Policy 23 shall not be construed to prevent the construction, reconstruction, alteration, or
                demolition of any building, structure, earthwork, or component thereof of a recognized historic,
                cultural or archaeological resource which has been officially certified as being imminently
                dangerous to life or public health. Nor shall the policy be construed to prevent the ordinary
                maintenance, repair, or proper restoration according to the U.S. Department of Interior's
                "Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings" of any
                building, structure, site or earthwork, or component thereof of a recognized historic, cultural
                or archaeological resource which does not involve a significant adverse change to the resource,
                as defined above.


                Policy 23 applies to the seven structures in the local waterfront area that have been recognized
                as highly significant by reason of their placement on State and National registers of Historic
                Places (Ref. Sect. 11, Part 2, C. Analysi , and Plate 8a). Such historic resources will warrant
                the maximum protection which can be practically afforded in implementing this policy. All
                government agencies should avoid, to the maximum extent practicable, undertaking direct actions
                which would jeopardize these historic resources.

                Policy 23A applies to the numerous remaining historic structures and/or sites described in
                Section II as having only local significance (Ref: Sect. II, Part 2, C. Invento and Analysis.
                and Plates 8a and 8b). Collectively, these other historic resources warrant attention from the
                two communities. Such resources embody much of the local cultural heritage and contribute
                importantly to present day community character. Public education and local recognition should
                encourage private owners to restore, rehabilitate and preserve these locally significant structures
                and/or sites, preferably along the guidelines set forth above for highly significant historic
                resources.

                                        CHARACTER OF THE VILLAGE'S BUILT ENVIRONMENT WITH
                                        PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE IMAGE OF THE SMALL
                                        HARBOR AREA AND THE COMMERCIAL SECTION OF MAIN
                                        STREET.



                 EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                 Policy 25 applies to the scenic resources of local significance: scenic highway corridors along
                 NY Route 12 and, in the Village, along NY Route 37; vistas along the shoreline of Jacques
                 Cartier State Park; views of the St. Lawrence River and outer Morristown Bay from Chapman
                 Park, from the intersection of Main and Morris Streets and from Bayside Park; and the image
                 of the village's older waterfront areas. The Village and Town recognize the considerable value
                 these locally significant resources have for tourism, general coastal character, and quality of life.
                 (Ref.: Sect. II, Part 1, F. Analysi and Plates 5a and 5b.)

                 When considering a proposed action, all government agencies shall insure that the action will
                 be undertaken so as to protect, restore or enhance the overall scenic quality of the coastal, area.
                 Activity which could impair or further degrade scenic quality is defined as follows: (i) the
                 irreversible modification of geologic forms, the destruction or removal of vegetation, the
                 destruction or removal of structures, whenever the geologic forms, vegetation, or structures are
                 significant to the scenic quality of an identified resource; and (ii) the addition of structures which
                 because of siting or scale will reduce identified views or which because of scale, form, or
                 material will diminish the scenic quality of an identified resource.

                 Policy 25A applies specifically to the older, developed areas of the Village's waterfront with
                 emphasis on the small harbor area of outer Morristown Bay and the commercial section of Main
                 Street.   From the perspective of visual quality, the vacant or underutilized properties,
                 deteriorated structures, and streetscapes in need of attention along the eastern side of the outer
                 bay and in adjoining Main Street commercial area have detrimental effects on the village's
                 coastal image. (Ref.: Sect. II, Part 2, A. Analysis, 1.) The isolated character of the bayside
                 and riverside uses and the orientation of Main Street business away from the water compound
                 the image problems. (Ref.: Sect. R, Part 1, F. Analysis.)

                 When considering a proposed action in these areas, all government agencies shall recognize the
                 importance of improving and protecting visual quality as an integral part of revitalizing the
                 waterfront, improving the small harbor's role, and strengthening the local economy.

               Policy Guidelines

               The following general siting and facility-related guidelines are to be used to achieve this policy,
               recognizing that each development situation is unique and that the guidelines will have to.be
               applied accordingly. General guidelines include:

                      1.    Siting structures and other development such as highways, power lines, and signs,
                            back from shorelines or in other inconspicuous locations to maintain the attractive
                            quality of the shoreline and to.retain views to and from the shore;

                      2.    Clustering or orienting structures to retain views, save open space and provide
                            visual organization to a development;

                      3.    Incorporating     sound,    existing   structures   (especially    historic buildings)
                                into the overall development scheme;

                      4.    Removing deteriorated and/or degrading elements;

                      5.    Maintaining or restoring the original landform, except when changes screen
                            unattractive elements and/or add appropriate interest;

                      6.    Maintaining or adding vegetation to provide interest, encourage the presence of
                            wildlife, blend structures into the site, and obscure unattractive elements, except
                            when selective clearing removes unsightly, diseased or hazardous vegetation and
                            when selective clearing enhances views of coastal waters;

                      7.    Using appropriate materials, in addition to vegetation, to screen unattractive
                            elements;

                      8.    Using appropriate scales, forms and materials to ensure that buildings and other
                            structures are compatible with and add interest to the landscape.

               When an action is proposed to be undertaken along the eastern side of outer Morristown Bay or
               in the commercial section of Main Street, the following additional guidelines shall be used to
               achieve Policy 25A:

                      I .   Open views from Main Street to the bay and/or river should be protected, enhanced
                            and, where possible, increased especially where such views can be associated with
                            public access, historic tours and development or redevelopment which increases the
                            orientation of Main Street toward the shoreline.


                      2.    Whenever physically possible, pedestrian walkways, stairs, interpretive displays,
                            boutiques, small novelty or speciality shops, outdoor restaurant or cafe decks and
                            similar water-enhanced features should be encouraged along and to the waterward
                            side of Main Street commercial establishments. The development of such facilities
                            should be supported through cooperative public/private efforts in renovating both


                                                              111-37








                             front and rear building facades, providing adequate parking, ensuring the availability
                             of sanitary and storm sewers and water mains, and promoting tourism in general.

                       3.    While encouraging revitalization with better linkages between the bay or river and
                             Main Street, attention must be given to protecting historic structures and existing
                             features of non-historic structures which contribute to the small bayside Village's
                             image, i.e., density, scale, form, texture, landscaping and setback.

                AGRICULTURAL LANDS POLICY


                POLICY 26             TO CONSERVE AND PROTECT AGRICULTURAL LANDS IN THE
                                      STATE'S COASTAL AREA, AN ACTION SHALL NOT RESULT IN
                                      A LOSS NOR EAPAIR THE PRODUCTIVITY OF EMIPORTANT
                                      AGRICULTURAL LANDS, AS IDENTIFIED ON THE COASTAL
                                      AREA MAP, IF THAT LOSS OR MPAIRMENT WOULD
                                      ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VIABILITY OF AGRICULTURE IN AN
                                      AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT OR, IF THERE IS NO
                                      AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT, IN THE AREA SURROUNDING
                                      SUCH LANDS.



                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                The primary concern of this policy is with the loss of important agricultural land (FN 1) when
                that loss would have a significant effect on an agricultural area's ability to continue to exist, to
                prosper, and even to expand. A series of determinations are necessary to establish whether a
                public action is consistent with the conservation and protection of agricultural lands or whether
                it is likely to be harmful to the health of an agricultural area. In brief, these determinations are
                as follows: First, it must be determined whether a proposed public action would result in the
                loss of important agricultural lands as mapped on the Coastal Inventory. If it would not result,
                either directly or indirectly, in the loss of identified important agricultural lands, then the action
                is consistent with the policy on agriculture. If it is determined that the action would result in
                a loss of identified important agricultural lands, but that loss would not have an adverse effect
                on the viability of agriculture in the surrounding area, then the action may also be consistent
                with the agriculture policy. However, in that case the action must be undertaken in a manner
                that would minimize the loss of important farmland. If the action is determined to result in a
                significant loss of important agricultural land, that is if the loss is to a degree sufficient to
                adversely affect surrounding agriculture's viability, - its ability to continue to exist, to prosper
                and even to expand - then the action is not consistent with this agricultural policy.

                Although the local waterfront area contains relatively small, scattered pockets of prime farmland,
                it encompasses a considerable amount of land lying within an agricultural district (Ref: Sect. II,
                Part 1,C. InventgZ. 3 and Plates 2a and 2b). Active farming occurs in only a few of the larger
                pockets of prime farmland: along Atwood Road, in the southeast part of the Village, along and
                northwest of Scotch Bush Road, and north of Chippewa Creek (Ref: Sect. 111, Part 1,C. Analysi
                and Plates 3a and 3b). The last of these four areas is the most viable due to its size and location


                                                               111-38








                away from shoreline development. Farming within the Village is considered marginal, and the
                Atwood Road and Scotch Bush Road areas are quite small.

                Since most of the extensively farmed areas with prime farmland soils are located to the south
                of the local waterfront area, the agricultural district status south of NY Routes 12 and 37 serves
                to buffer more viable areas of farming from coastal development. An government agencies must
                consider the agricultural district as a limiting factor for proposed public actions, especially where
                active agricultural uses continue in association with prime farmland.

                Policy Guidelines

                The following guidelines define more fully what must be considered in making the above
                determinations:


                A.    A public action would be likely to significantly impair the viability of an agricultural area
                      in which identified important agricultural lands are located if-


                      1.    The action would occur on identified important agricultural land and would:

                            a. consume more than 10% of the land of an active farm (FN2) containing such
                                identified important agricultural lands.

                            b.  consume a total of 100 acres or more of identified important agricultural land,
                                or

                            c.  divide an active farm with identified important agricultural land into two or
                                more parts thus impeding efficient farm operation.

                      2.    The action would result in environmental changes which may reduce the
                            productivity or adversely affect the quality of the product of any identified important
                            agricultural lands.

                      3.    The action would create real estate market conditions favorable to the conversion
                            of large areas of identified important agricultural land to non-agricultural uses.
                            Such conditions may be created by:

                            a.  Public water or sewer facilities to serve non-farm structures.


                            b.  Transportation improvements, except for maintenance of, and safety
                                improvements to, existing facilities, that serve non-farm or non-farm related
                                development.

                            c.  Major non-agribusiness commercial development adjacent to identified
                                agricultural lands.



                                                              111-39








                             d. Major public institutions

                             e. Residential uses other than farm dwellings,

                             f. Any change in land use regulations applying to agricultural land which would
                                 encourage or allow uses incompatible with agricultural use of the land.

                B.     The following types of facilities and activities should not be construed as having adverse
                       effects on the preservation of agricultural land:

                       1.    Farm dwellings, barns, silos, and other accessory uses and structures incidental to
                             agricultural production or necessary for farm family supplemental income.

                       2.    Agribusiness development which includes the entire structure of local support
                             services and commercial enterprises necessary to maintain an agricultural operation,
                             e.g., milk hauler, grain dealer, farm machinery dealer, veterinarian, food processing
                             plants.

                C.     In determining whether an action that would result in the loss of farmland is of overriding
                       regional or statewide benefit, the following factors should be considered:

                             1.  For an action to be considered overriding it must be shown to provide
                                 significantly greater benefits to the region or State than are provided by the
                                 affected agricultural area (not merely the land directly affected by the action).
                                 In determining the benefits of the affected agriculture to the region or State,
                                 consideration must be given to its social and cultural value, its economic
                                 availability, its environmental benefits, its existing and potential contribution to
                                 food or fiber production in the State and any State food policy, as wen as its
                                 direct economic benefits. These criteria are explained below.

                                 a.   An agricultural area is an area predominantly in farming and in which the
                                      farms produce similar products and/or rely on the same agribusiness
                                      support services and are to be a significant degree economically inter-
                                      dependent. At a minimum, this area should consist of at least 500 acres of
                                      identified important agricultural land. For the purpose of analyzing impacts
                                      of any action on agriculture, the boundary of such area need not be
                                      restricted to land within the coastal boundary. If the affected agricultural
                                      lands lie within an agricultural district then, at a minimum, the agricultural
                                      area should include the entire agricultural district.

                                 b.   In determining the benefits of an agricultural area, its relationship to
                                      agricultural lands outside the area should also be considered.

                                 c.   The estimate of the economic viability of the affected agricultural area
                                      should be based on an assessment of:




                                                              111-40








                                    1.   soil resources, topography, conditions of climate and water resources;
                                    2.   availability of agribusiness and other support services, and the level
                                         and condition of investments in farm, real estate, livestock and
                                         equipment;
                                    3.   the level of farming skills as evidenced by income obtained, yield
                                         estimates for crops, and costs being experienced with the present types
                                         and conditions of buildings, equipment, and cropland;
                                    4.   use of new technology and the rates at which new technology
                                         is adopted;
                                    5. competition from substitute products and other farming
                                         regions and trends in total demand for given products;
                                    6. patterns of farm ownership for their effect on farm
                                         efficiency and the likelihood that farms will remain in use.

                               d.   The estimate of the social and cultural value of farming in the area should
                                    be based on an analysis of:

                                    1.   the history of farming in the area;
                                    2.   the length of time farms have remained in one family;
                                    3.   the degree to which farmers in the area share a cultural or
                                         ethnic heritage;

                                    4.   the extent to which products are sold and consumed locally;
                                    5.   the degree to which a specific crop(s) has become identified with a
                                         community.

                               e.   An estimate of the environmental benefits of the affected agriculture should
                                    be based on analysis of.

                                    1.   the extent to which the affected agriculture as currently practiced
                                         provides a habitat or food for wildlife;

                                    2.   the extent to which a farm landscape adds to the visual quality of an
                                         area;

                                    3.   any regional or local open space plans, and degree to whichthe open
                                         space contributes to air quality;

                                    4.   the degree to which the affected agriculture does, or could, contribute
                                         to the establishment of a clear edge between rural and urban
                                         development.

              D.     Whenever a proposed action is determined to have an insignificant adverse effect on
                     identified important agricultural land or whenever it is permitted to substantially hinder
                     the achievement of the policy according to DOS regulations, Pall 600, or as a result of



                                                           111-41








                      the findings of an EIS, then the required minimization should be undertaken in the
                      following manner:

                      1.     The proposed action shall, to the extent practicable, be sited on any land not
                             identified as important agricultural, or, if it must be sited on identified important
                             agricultural land, sited to avoid classes of agricultural land according to the
                             following priority:

                             a. prime farmland in orchards or vineyards
                             b. unique farmland in orchards or vineyards
                             c. other prime farmland in active farming

                             f. prime farmland not being farmed
                             g. farmland of statewide importance not being farmed

                       2.    To the extent practicable, agricultural use of identified important agricultural land
                             not directly necessary for the operation of the proposed non-agricultural action
                             should be provided for through such means as lease arrangements with farmers,
                             direct undertaking of agriculture, or sale of surplus land to farms. Agricultural use
                             of such land shall have priority over any other proposed multiple use of the land.

               ENERGY AND ICE MANAGEMENT POLICIES


               POLICY 27             DECISIONS ON THE SITING AND CONSTRUCTION OF MAJOR
                                     ENERGY FACILITIES IN THE COASTAL AREA WILL BE BASED
                                     ON PUBLIC ENERGY NEED, COMPATIBILITY OF SUCH
                                     FACILITIES WITH THE ENVIRONMENT9 AND THE FACILITY'S
                                     NEED FOR A SHOREFRONT LOCATION.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Demand for energy in New York will increase, although at a rate slower than previously
               predicted.    The State expects to meet these energy demands through a combination of
               conservation measures; traditional and alternative technologies; and use of various fuels,
               including coal, in greater proportion.

               A determination of public need for energy is the first step in the process for siting any new
               facilities. The directives for determining this need are set forth in the New York State Energy
               Law. With respect to transmission lines and steam electric generating facilities, Articles VII and
               VIII of the State's Public Service Law require additional forecasts and establish the basis for
               determining the compatibility of these facilities with the environment and the necessity for a
               shorefront location. The policies derived from the siting regulations under these Articles are
               entirely consistent with the general coastal zone policies derived from other laws, particularly
               the regulations promulgated pursuant to the Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and



                                                             111-42








               Inland Waterways Act. That Act is usedfor the purposes of ensuring consistency with the State
               Coastal Management Program and this Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.

               In consultation with the Town and Village of Morristown, the Department of State will comment
               on State Energy Office policies and planning reports as may exist; present testimony for the
               record during relevant certification proceedings under Articles V11 and VIR of the PSL; and use
               the State SEQR and DOS regulations to ensure that decisions on other proposed energy facilities
               (other than transmission facilities and steam electric generating plants) which would impact the
               waterfront area are made consistent with the policies and purposes of the Local Waterfront
               Revitalization Program.

               POLICY 28            ICE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH
                                    THE PRODUCTION OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER, DAMAGE
                                    SIGNMCANT FISH AND WILDLIFE AND THEIR HABITATS9 OR
                                    INCREASE SHORELINE EROSION OR FLOODING.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Prior to undertaking actions required for ice management, an assessment must be made of the
               potential effects of such actions upon the production of hydroelectric power, fish and wildlife
               and their habitats as will be identified in the Coastal Area Maps, flood levels and damage, rates
               of shoreline erosion damage, and upon natural protective features.

               Following such an examination, adequate methods of avoidance or mitigation of such potential
               effects must be utilized if the proposed action is to be implemented.

               Ice management is deemed herein to include the operation of ice breakers and winter navigation
               proposals for the St. Lawrence River.

               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Municipal, industrial and commercial discharges include not only "end-of-the-pipe" discharges
               into surface and groundwater but also plant site runoff, leaching, spillages, sludge and other
               waste disposal, and drainage from raw material storage sites. Also, the regulated industrial
               discharges are both those which directly empty into receiving coastal waters and those which
               pass through municipal treatment systems before reaching the State's waterways.

               The widespread dependence on septic systems in the Town requires careful on-going review of
               new installations. The extent of shallow soils overlying bedrock is a serious constraint to such
               installations (Ref. Sect. II, Part 1,, A. Analysis. 1, and C. Analysis, 1 and 2.)

                                    THOSE WATERS ALREADY OVERBURDENED WITH
                                    CONTAMINANTS WELL BE RECOGNIZED AS BEING A
                                    DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINT.



               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               The State has classified its coastal and other waters in accordance with considerations of best
               usage in the interest of the public and has adopted water quality standards for each class of
               waters. These classifications and standards are reviewable at least every three years for possible
               revision or amendment. Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs and coastal management
               policies shall be factored into the review process for coastal waters.            However, such
               considerations shall not affect any water pollution control requirement established by the State
               pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act.

               The State has identified certain stream segments as being either "water quality limiting" or
               lieffluent limiting." Waters not meeting State standards and which would not be expected to
               meet these standards even after applying "best practicable treatment" to effluent discharges are
               classified as "water quality limiting." Those segments meeting standards or those expected to
               meet them after application of "best practicable treatment" are classified as "effluent limiting,"
               and all new waste discharges must receive "best practicable treatment. " However, along stream
               segments classified as "water quality limiting," waste treatment beyond "best practicable
               treatment" would be required, and costs of applying such additional treatment may be prohibitive
               for new development. The Town and Village have reviewed the classification of waters within
               the local waterfront area and find them to be generally consistent with the existing and proposed
               land and water uses put forth in this program. However, with swimming as a traditional
               recreation activity in outer Morristown Bay (off the Village Park), it is felt that a "B"
               classification would be more appropriate there. The newly constructed sanitary sewers and



                                                            111-44








               sewage treatment facilities in the village should eliminate direct discharges of sewage into the
               bay, making this better water quality classification more tenable.


               POLICY 32             ENCOURAGE THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE OR INNOVATIVE
                                     SANITARY WASTE SYSTEMS IN SMALL COMMUNITIES WHERE
                                     THE COSTS OF CONVENTIONAL FACILITIES ARE
                                     UNREASONABLY HIGH, GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE EXISTING
                                     TAX BASE OF THESE COMMUNITIES.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY

               Alternative systems include individual septic tanks and other subsurface disposal systems, dual
               systems, small systems serving clusters of households or commercial users, and pressure or
               vacuum sewers. These types of systems are often more cost effective in smaller less densely
               populated areas and for which conventional facilities are too expensive.

               The Village of Morristown has studied both a conventional gravity sewer system and a vacuum
               system. Given the depth to bedrock and the small population to be served by sewers, the gravity
               system has been determined unfeasible due to the prohibitive costs of extensive blasting. The
               vacuum system, on the other hand, was determined to be feasible. The Village recently
               completed its construction.

               On-site disposal systems elsewhere in the Village or in all areas of the Town will be required
               to adhere to the NYS Department of Health standards. Because of widespread soil conditions
               poorly suited to conventional septic systems, many areas will require substantially larger lots to
               accommodate on-site disposal or alternative and innovative systems. The latter will be
               encouraged (Ref: Section 11, Part 1, A. Analysis, a and C. Analysi , b).

               POLICY 33             BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES WILL BE USED TO ENSURE
                                     THE CONTROL OF STORMWATER RUNOFF AND COMBINED
                                     SEWER OVERFLOWS DRADUNG INTO COASTAL WATERS.



               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Best management practices include both structural and nonstructural methods of preventing or
               mitigating pollution caused by the discharge of stormwater runoff and combined sewer
               overflows. At present, structural approaches to controlling stormwater runoff (e.g., construction
               of retention basins) and combined sewer overflows (e.g., replacement of combined system with
               separate sanitary and stormwater collection systems) are not economically feasible. Proposed
               amendments to the Clean Water Act, however, will authorize funding to address combined sewer
               overflows in areas where they create severe water quality impacts. Until funding for such
               projects becomes available, nonstructural approaches (e.g., improved street cleaning, reduced
               use of road salt) will be encouraged.



                                                            111-45









                The Village's storm sewers were known to be carrying direct discharges of untreated sewage or
                poorly treated sewage into Morristown Bay (see Policies 30 through 32). However, the Village
                has recently completed construction of a sanitary sewer and sewage treatment facility that will
                eliminate this source of water pollution.

                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                The discharge of sewage, garbage, rubbish, and other solid and liquid materials from watercraft
                and marinas into the State's waters. is regulated. Priority will be given to the enforcement of
                this law in areas such as significant fish and wildlife habitats, beaches, and public water supply
                intakes, which need protection from contamination by vessel wastes. Also, specific effluent
                standards for marine toilets have been promulgated by the NYS Department of Environmental
                Conservation (6 NYCRR, Part 657).

                Pump-out facilities for marine holding tanks shall be required at all new marina facilities within
                the Village and Town waterfront areas, unless a determination has been made that (1) adequate
                pump-out facilities already exist within a reasonable distance of the new or expanded marina and
                (2) use of such pump-out facilities is open to the public.

                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Dredging often proves to be essential for waterfront revitalization and development, maintaining
                navigation channels at sufficient depths, pollutant removal and meeting other coastal management
                needs. Such dredging projects, however, may adversely affect water quality, fish and wildlife
                habitats, wetlands, and other important coastal resources. Often these adverse effects can be
                minimized through careful design and timing of the dredging operation and proper siting of the
                dredge spoil disposal site. Dredging permits will be granted by DEC if it has been satisfactorily
                demonstrated that these anticipated adverse effects have been reduced to levels which satisfy
                State dredging permit standards set forth in regulations developed pursuant to Environmental
                Conservation Law (Articles 15, 24, 25 and 34), and are consistent with policies pertaining to
                the protection of coastal resources (State Coastal Management Policies 7, 15, 24, 26 and 44).




                                                             111-46








                In view of siltation problems in Morristown Bay, dredging may be necessary for effective
                development of the bay's small harbor function and appropriate siting of water-dependent uses
                (Ref: Sect. H, Part 1, A. Invento , 2, and Analysis, 2; E. Analysis, 4; and Part 2, A.
                Analysis. 3). Harbor development and facilitation of water-dependent uses will be critical aspects
                of revitalization efforts in the bayside areas of the Village (Ref: pp. 29 and 30). Development
                along the western side of inner Morristown Bay may depend on or induce dredging permit
                applications to maintain navigability in that area of the bay (Ref. Plate 7). The review of such
                applications should consider achieving a balance between protective measures for the inner bay's
                water quality and role as a locally important fish and wildlife habitat and developmental
                measures providing for revitalization, small harbor development and the siting of water-
                dependent uses (including public access and recreation activities in the southeast comer of the
                bay). (See Policies 1, 1A-lC, 2 2A and 2B, 4, 7A, 8, 9, 19, 19A, 19C, 20B, 21, 21A 22,
                22A, 30 and 31.)

                Dredging proposals for marina expansion along the eastern side of the bay's mouth are more
                likely to involve blasting and rock removal than disturbance of deep silt beds (Ref- Sect. II, Part
                1,A. Analysis, e).

                POLICY 36            ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE SHIPMENT AND STORAGE OF
                                     PETROLEUM AND OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIAL WELL BE
                                     CONDUCTED IN A MANNER THAT WELL PREVENT OR AT
                                     LEAST ME';-IMIZE SPILLS INTO COASTAL WATERS; ALL
                                     PRACTICABLE EFFORTS WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO EXPEDITE
                                     THE CLEANUP OF SUCH DISCHARGES; AND RESITTUTION
                                     FOR DAMAGES WILL BE REQUIRED WHEN THESE SPILLS
                                     OCCUR.


                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Hazardous wastes are unwanted by-products of manufacturing processes generally characterized
                as flammable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic. More specifically, hazardous waste is defined in
                Environmental Conservation Law (s27-0901.3) as "waste or combination of wastes which
                because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may:
                (1) cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious
                irreversible, or incapacitating reversible illness; or (2) pose a substantial present or potential
                hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported,
                disposed or otherwise managed." 6 NYCRR Part 371 lists hazardous wastes.

                Because of its location along the St. Lawrence Seaway, the area has been subjected to petroleum
                and other hazardous wastes spills in the past, the Town and Village realize the impact that such
                spills can have, both ecologically and economically, on the waterfront area. (Ref: Sect. II, Part
                1 A. Analysis e). The Town and Village encourage the maximum practicable measures that will
                prevent or at least minimize spills and discharges of such wastes into its coastal waters.






                                                             111-47










               POLICY 37             BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES WILL BE UTILIZED TO
                                     AIDUNME THE NON-POINT DISCHARGE OF EXCESS
                                     NUTRIENTS, ORGANICS AND ERODED SOILS INTO COASTAL
                                     WATERS.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Excess nutrients and organics can, and in many cases do, enter surface waters as a result of
               uncontrolled surface runoff, leaching, development activities and poor agricultural practices.
               Best management practices to be used to reduce these sources of pollution include, but are not
               limited to, encouraging organic farming, pest management practices, phased development,
               surface runoff retention basins, placement of vegetation, erosion control practices and other
               surface drainage control techniques. Through the use of land use regulations and site plan
               review provisions, the Town and Village will use best management practices to reduce such non-
               point pollution sources.

               Silt from eroding inland soils is a particular concern with respect to Morristown Bay and the
               stagnation and eutrophication occurring there (Ref. Sect. H, Part 1, A. Analysis. b) Government
               agency reviews of future development in areas which drain to the bay should address these and
               other potential sources of non-point pollution which would impact the bay's water quality.

               Policy Guidelines

               Guidelines regulating development or construction to be used in implementing this policy include
               the following:

                     1.    Runoff or other non-point pollutant sources from any specific development must not
                           be greater than would be the case under natural conditions. Appropriate techniques
                           to minimize such efforts shall include, but not be limited to, the use of stormwater
                           detention basins, rooftop runoff disposal, rooftop detention, parldng lot storage and
                           cistern storage.

                     2.    The construction site, or facilities, should fit the land, particularly with regard to
                           its limitations.


                     3.    Natural ground contours should be followed as closely as possible and grading
                           minimized.


                     4.    Areas of steep slopes, where high cuts and fill may be required, should be avoided.

                     5.    Extreme care should be exercised to locate artificial drainageways so that their final
                           gradient and resultant discharge velocity will not create additional erosion problems.

                     6.    Natural protective vegetation should remain undisturbed if at all possible; otherwise
                           plantings should compensate for the disturbance.



                                                            111-48








                      7.     The amount of time that disturbed ground surfaces are exposed to the energy of
                             rainfall and runoff water should be limited.


                      8.     The velocity of the runoff water on all areas subject to erosion should be reduced
                             below that necessary to erode the materials.

                      9.     A ground cover should be applied sufficient to restrain erosion on that portion of
                             the disturbed area undergoing no ftirther active disturbances.

                      10.    Runoff from a site should be collected and detained in sediment basins to trap
                             pollutants which would otherwise be transported from the site.

                      11.    Provision should be made for permanent protection of downstream banks and
                             channels from the erosive effects of increased velocity and volume and runoff
                             resulting from facilities constructed.

                      12.    The angle for graded slopes and fills should be limited to an angle no greater than
                             that which can be retained by vegetative cover or other erosion control devices or
                             structures.


                      13.    The length as well as the angle of graded slopes should be minimized to reduce the
                             erosive velocity of runoff water.

                      14.    Rather than merely minimize damage, take the opportunity to improve site
                             conditions wherever practicable.

               POLICY 38             THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF SURFACE WATER AND
                                     GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES WILL BE CONSERVED AND
                                     PROTECTED, PARTICULARLY WHERE SUCH WATER
                                     CONSTITUTE THE PRD4ARY OR SOLE SOURCE OF WATER
                                     SUPPLY.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               The St. Lawrence River is the principal source of water supply for the Village of Morristown
               Ref. Sect. 111, Part 1, A. Analysis, c and Part 2, A. Inventory, d). As such, its protection from
               pollutants is vital, especially immediately upstream of the intake off Chapman Point.
               Groundwater, on the other hand, is the sole source of potable water for the Town (Ref. Sect.
               11, Part 1, A. Analysis, d) Given the characteristics of bedrock, surficial deposits and soils in
               the local waterfront area, careful review of septic system installations will be necessary to ensure
               that contaminants do not reach into the limestone fractures or deep gravel beds that are tapped
               for well water (Ref: Sect. III, Part 1, A. Inventory, d) Also, major water users or heavily
               concentrated development activity must also be guided to locations which would not deplete the
               quantity of groundwater available to existing users (Ref: Sect. II, Part 1, A. Analysis, d).

                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                Solid wastes include sludge from air or water pollution control facilities, demolition and
                construction debris, and industrial and commercial waste. Examples of solid waste management
                facilities include resource recovery facilities, sanitary landfills and solid waste reduction
                facilities. Although a fundamental problem associated with the disposaland treatment of solid
                wastes is the contamination of water resources, other related problems may include: filling of
                littoral areas, atmospheric loading, and degradation of scenic resources.

                Solid wastes do not pose a measurable threat to water quality in the local waterfront area. In
                the Village, municipal refuse collection is provided. Refuse is hauled to a transfer site and taken
                to a landfill outside the coastal area by private contractor. In the Town, the individual land
                owners take their refuse directly to the transfer site.

                Refer to Policy 36 for explanation of hazardous wastes.

                                      STANDARDS.



                EXPLANATION OF POLICY


                There are no major steam electric generating or industrial facilities located within the Town and
                Village waterfront areas and no such facilities are anticipated. In the event that such facilities
                are proposed within the waterfront area, review of such projects shall ensure that the facility will
                "not discharge any effluent that will be unduly injurious to the propagation and protection of fish
                and wildlife, the industrial development of the state, the public health, and public enjoyment of
                the receiving waters. " The effects of thermal discharges on water quality and aquatic organisms
                will be considered when evaluating an applicant's request to construct a new steam electric
                generating facility.

               EXPLANATION OF POLICY

               The Town and Village Local Waterfront Revitalizafion Program incorporates the air quality
               policies and programs developed for the State by the Department of Environmental Conservation
               pursuant to the Clean Air Act and State Laws on air quality. The requirements of the Cle    an Air
               Act are the minimum air quality control requirements applicable within the waterfront area.

               To the extent possible, the State Implementation Plan will be consistent with the land and water
               use policies of this local program. Conversely, program decisions with regard to specific land
               and water use proposals and any recommendations with regard to specific sites for major new
               or expanded energy, transportation, or commercial facilities will reflect an assessment of their
               compliance with the air quality requirements of the State Implementation Plan.

               POLICY 42             COASTAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES WILL BE CONSIDERED IF
                                     THE STATE RECLASSIFIES LAND AREAS PURSUANT TO THE
                                     PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION
                                     REGULATIONS OF THE FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               The policies of the State CMP and the LVV7RP concerning proposed land and water uses and the
               protection and preservation of special management areas will be taken into account prior to any
               action to change the prevention of significant deterioration land classification in coastal regions
               or adjacent areas.

               POLICY 43                  LAND USE OR DEVELOPMENT IN THE COASTAL AREA
                                          MUST NOT CAUSE THE GENERATION OF SIGNIFICANT
                                          AMOUNTS OF THE ACID RAIN PRECURSORS: NITRATES
                                          AND SULFATES.


               The Town and Village Local Waterfront Revitalization Program incorporates the State's policies
               on acid rain. As such, the local program will assist in the State's efforts to control acid rain.
               These efforts to control acid rain will enhance the continued viability of coastal fisheries,
               wildlife, agricultural, scenic and water resources.

                                     THESE AREAS.


               EXPLANATION OF POLICY


               Freshwater wetlands include marshes, swamps, bogs, and flats supporting aquatic and semi-
               aquatic vegetation and other wetlands so defined in the NYS Freshwater Wetlands Act and the
               NYS Protection of Waters Act.








                In the local waterfront area, the wetlands addressed by this policy are generally scattered and
                relatively small, with the exception of the Chippewa Creek Marsh. The wetlands specifically
                addressed by this policy are described in Section 111, Part 1, D. Analysis d and identified on
                Plates 5a and 5b. All of these wetlands embody recreational, aesthetic, and/or ecological
                benefits. Specifically, the benefits derived from the preservation of freshwater wetlands include,
                but are not limited to:


                            habitat for wildlife and fish and contribution to associated aquatic food chains;

                            erosion, flood and storm control;

                            natural pollution treatment;

                            groundwater protection;

                            recreational opportunities;

                            educational and scientific opportunities; and

                            aesthetic open space in many otherwise densely developed areas.

                                SECTION IV - PROPOSED USES AND PROJECTS

               Local officials in the Town and Village of Morristown intend to promote development in a
               manner which will protect and enhance the resource base rather than deplete or degrade it.
               Through their planning and resource management efforts the two communities seek to foster
               environmentally sound development as an integral part of waterfront revitalization. The planning
               of future land uses and revitalization projects is the focus of this section.

               A.      PROPOSED LAND USES


                       Proposed land uses for the waterfront are classified under eight categories: Public and
                       Semi-public, Village Center Commercial, Water-related Commercial, Highway-related
                       Commercial, Urban Density Residential, Moderate Density Residential, Open Space
                       Density Residential and Agricultural. The location and distribution of proposed land uses
                       are described in detail below under the headings of Village, East Town and West Town.

                       1. Village (See Plate Ila)

                              a.      Public and semi-public - Proposed public and semi-public uses consist of
                                      those identified as existing on Plate 9a plus expansion of the Village's
                                      shoreline park to include land for additional parking and construction of
                                      a wastewater treatment facility to the south of the fire hall on Morris
                                      Street.


                              b.      Village center commercial - This land use category is proposed to expand
                                      and occupy both sides of Main Street from just south of Northumberland
                                      Street to Chapman Street and the north side of Chapman Street from Main
                                      Street to Ann Street. Specific uses envisioned here would be local
                                      convenience and tourist oriented with more emphasis on the pedestrian.

                              C.      Highway-related commercial - This category is proposed along both the
                                      northern and southern sides of Morris Street toward its easterly end.
                                      Commercial uses in this area would relate more to automobile sales,
                                      repairs and maintenance; motor lodges; and other uses catering to
                                      travellers along the Seaway Trail.

                              d.      Water-related commercial - Water-related commercial uses including
                                      marinas, resorts, boat sales, boat rentals, boat repair and storage, and the
                                      sale of marine supplies, bait and tackle, are proposed for the entire
                                      western side of Morristown Bay and the eastern side northerly from the
                                      Northumberland Street bridge to Ann Street.

                              e.      Urban density residential - The areas of existing, dense residential
                                      development are proposed to be expanded to include all areas of the
                                      Village which could be readily served by sanitary sewers. In particular,
                                      this category would include now vacant lands north of Louce Creek in the


                                                              IV-3








                                       the western part of the Village and along Riverside Drive, Chapin, Mom's
                                       and High Streets in the eastern part. Residential uses in this category
                                       would generally consist of single-family structures on smaller lots. One
                                       and two-family structures would be concentrated on Main and Gouvernor
                                       Streets to the south and east of the Village center commercial area.

                               f.      Moderate density residential - Areas to the south and east of NY Route 37
                                       would be proposed for this category. Density would necessarily be lower
                                       than in the Urban Density residential areas since public sewers would not
                                       be available. The reliance on septic systems and the generally poor
                                       suitability for septic tank absorption fields would be the primary density-
                                       limiting factor. Mobile home park development would be guided to this
                                       part of the Village provided that adequate septic systems could be
                                       installed.


                               9.      Open space density residential - The remaining areas would be included
                                       in this category, providing for large lot single family uses on or near lands
                                       with greater sensitivity, more severe development constraints or important
                                       scenic or agricultural value. Public sanitary sewers would not be foreseen
                                       in these areas. The low density of future development would help to
                                       minimize non-point discharges of pollutants into the Louce Creek
                                       watershed and the inner bay itself.

                       2.      East Town (See Plate 11a)

                               a.      Public and semi-public - No new public or semi-public uses are proposed.

                               b.      Highway-related commercial - A short stretch of NY Route 37 is proposed
                                       for this use category, as are the ends of Morris and Chapman Streets.
                                       The proposed uses would be similar to, and an extension of, those in the
                                       Village's highway-related commercial area. Existing uses along NY
                                       Route 37 already reflect the tendency toward this type of use. (See Plate
                                       9a).

                               C.      Urban density residential - No change is proposed.

                               d.      Moderate density residential - With density controlled principally by the
                                       minimum size of parcels needed to accommodate septic systems and wells,
                                       much of the land along NY Route 37 would fall into this category. The
                                       largest areas would lie northerly, easterly and southerly of the NY Route
                                       37- English Settlement Road intersection and near the Oswegatchie town
                                       line north of NY Route 37. Between these areas, the moderate density
                                       residential would occupy a thin band mostly along the south side of the
                                       State highway.

                              e.     Open space density residential - The bulk of the remaining land areas
                                     would fall into this category in recognition of steep slopes or bedrock
                                     problems (to the north of NY Route 37) or location within the agricultural
                                     district (to the south of NY Route 37).

                              f.     Agricultural - No changes are purposed for the areas with existing
                                     agricultural uses.

                      3.      West Town. (See Plate 11b)

                              a.     Public and semi-public - No change from the existing extent of uses in this
                                     category is proposed. (see Plate 9b).

                              b.     Highway-related commercial - No change is proposed.

                              C.     Urban density residential - No change is proposed.

                              d.     Moderate density residential - Extending further in a westerly direction
                                     from the urban density residential area would be a large area of moderate
                                     density residential. This area would extend to and run a short distance
                                     beyond Jacques Cartier State Park. A smaller pocket of this type of land
                                     use is proposed along County Route 58 south of the Village.

                              e.     Open space density residential - With the exception of five pockets of
                                     proposed agricultural use (see 6, below), all of the remaining land area is
                                     proposed for "open space density residential" to acknowledge development
                                     limitations of steep slopes or shallow depth to bedrock or to minimize
                                     development impacts on the agricultural district and the NY Route 12
                                     scenic corridor.


                              f.     Agricultural - No change is proposed.

               B.     PROPOSED WATER USES


                      Proposed water uses are basically the same as those identified on Plates 9a and 9b with
                      one exception in the Village and two in the Town.

                      I .     Village (See Plate 11 a)

                              Proposed harbor improvements - A widened boat launch ramp is proposed for the
                              east side of the outer bay (See Fig. 5). Such improvements are expected to
                              increase boating activity originating from the bay area.






                                                             IV-9









                       2.     East Town (See Plate 11 a)

                              A Town boat launch is under consideration for the northerly end of English
                              Settlement Road.


                       3.     West Town (see Plate 1 lb)

                              Proposed improvements to the Jacques Cartier State Park swimming area are
                              likely to increase swimming and boating activities there. Some additional
                              dockage is proposed.

               C.      PROPOSED PROJECTS

                       The general objectives of the proposed projects described in the remainder of this section
                       are to stimulate economic development within the waterfront area and to improve the
                       quality of life for residents of these coastal communities. Increased tourism is viewed
                       as a realistic means of achieving the first objective which, in turn, is important to the
                       second. Emphasis is therefore placed on projects which will provide the infrastructure,
                       facilities and activities needed to support tourism development. Since the natural and
                       cultural resources of the local waterfront area are important assets for tourism and
                       essential elements of the quality of life, their protection and enhancement is also
                       emphasized.

                       Revitalization of deteriorated and underutilized areas, improvement and expansion of
                       public access and recreation facilities and protection of water quality are the specific
                       objectives of the five proposed projects which follow. Although more project activity
                       is proposed for the Village to address its greater revitalization needs, the Town will
                       undoubtedly reap significant benefits from increased tourism in the area and through tax
                       revenues.


                       1.     Bayside Park. The Village intends to improve and widen its boat launch, acquire
                              land to assure the supply of parking and provide a service building (restrooms,
                              lockers and showers) at its existing shoreline park. Additional security lighting,
                              landscaping, benches, and trash receptacles are also proposed.              Overall
                              development of the site would involve two phases. The first phase is described
                              in detail below in terms of estimated costs and timing. The second phase is
                              described only in terms of possible scope, leaving details of cost and timing to
                              further study.

                     2.     Bicycle/jogging Path. (See Figure 7). This project would be undertaken by the
                            Village in cooperation with the Town of Morristown.

                            It consists of developing a paved shoulder along River Road from the
                            Northumberland Street bridge to the westerly village limits. The shoulder would
                            provide a scparate path for cycling and jogging enthusiasts, ultimately
                            interconnecting with Jacques Cartier State Park. Project details are as follows:

                              the focal point of Chapman Park (see Figure 2, p. 36), the Old Stone Windmill
                              is proposed to be restored to an operating condition with a revolving cap (roof)
                              and sails. Restoration of the mill is a marginally viable project because of the
                              considerable costs involved. Nevertheless, the project is included in recognition
                              of its potential contribution to the local economy as a unique tourist attraction.
                              Project details are as follows:

                              range between $80,000 and $175,000 depending on the extent of volunteer labor
                              involved. No schedule is available for completion of Phase H.

                                  New York 10591.
                                  Jan. 20th, 1932.

               Dear       

                    Enclosed please find some rough estimates
               regarding restoration of the Old Stone
               Windmill. it is very difficult to come up   with
               anY sort of` accurate figures, however I am
               basing my ideas on other mill jobs which are
               in progress
                  .

                    I think to get started that you should only
               circulate the estimate for phase one of the
               restoration. People are more likely to begin
               on something around $10,000 than the large
               figure required for complete restoration.
               However I thought that I would enclose the
               complete figure for comparison. I know that
               when the St Lawrence Parks people were enquiring
               about the restoration of the mill, some of the
               rough estimates for complete restoration were
               as high as a quarter of a million dollars.
               This was of course, contemplating on hiring
               so-called experts to do the-job who are k_nown
               to charge excessive prices.

                  Good luck with starting  on phase one of                  THE STONE WINDMILL

            SECTION V-TECIINIQUES FOR LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM

               Implementation of the policies, uses and projects set forth in the preceding sections of this
               program will necessarily depend upon a variety of regulatory, administrative and financial
               techniques. These implementation techniques are described herein under five subheadings:

                       A.      Local Laws and Regulations
                       B.      Other Public and Private Actions
                       C.      Management Structure
                       D.      Financial Resources
                       E.      Review of Proposed State and Federal Actions

               A.      LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS


                       1. Existing Local Laws and Regulations

                       Village

                       Foremost among local regulatory means of program implementation is the Village's Land
                       Use Code enacted in 1975. The code is comprised of four parts: Building and Sanitary
                       Regulations, Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Regulations and Appendices.               Other
                       regulations include an unsafe structures ordinance and an ordinance controlling the
                       accumulation of refuse, junk, junk vehicles, etc. These local laws and regulations are
                       supplemented by local administration and enforcement of the NYS Uniform Fire
                       Protection and Building Code.

                               a.     Building and Sanitary Regulations (Land Use Code-Part 1)

                               ARTICLE I - ENACTMENT AND APPLICABILITY. This article provides for
                               enactment under Municipal Home Rule Law and Village Law, Section 4-412, sets
                               down the specific title; and states the purpose of the regulations as providing
                               "...basic and uniform standards governing the condition and maintenance of
                               existing structures and uses and the construction and installation of new structures
                               and facilities in order to establish reasonable safeguards for the safety, health and
                               general well-being... " in the Village. Article I also states the scope of the
                               regulations and references Appendix C for definitions.

                               ARTICLE II - MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS.
                               Article II references applicable laws of other governmental jurisdictions; specifies
                               local requirements governing the maintenance of existing structures and
                               installations and sets forth regulations governing new construction and other site
                               improvements pertaining to drainage and access to public highways. This article
                               also establishes special requirements applicable to development in flood hazard
                               areas, shoreline and stream protection, supply of potable water, sanitary sewage
                               disposal and refuse disposal.



                                                               v-3









                               ARTICLE III - ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT. Here,
                               requirements are established regarding Land Use Permits and Certificates of
                               Compliance. Also, measures for handling the replacement of existing water
                               supply or sewage disposal systems are provided. This article also provides means
                               for dealing with unsafe and substandard structures and installations. Finally, this
                               article cites procedures for future amendments, public hearings, referrals,
                               enforcement, violations, appeals, interpretation and effectuation of the building
                               and Sanitary Regulations.

                               b.      Subdivision Regulations (land Use Code - Pait H)

                               ARTICLE I - TITLE, PURPOSE AND SCOPE. This article states the formal
                               title; cites six reasons for regulating the subdivision of land ...... as part of a plan
                               for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Village of
                               Morristown; and defines the scope in accordance with applicable provisions of
                               Village Law, Article I and Municipal Home Rule Law.

                               ARTICLE 11 - APPLICATION AND REVIEW PROCEDURE. In five sections,
                               this article outlines procedures governing pre-application (conference and sketch
                               plan), formal application requirements and procedures for both the preliminary
                               and final subdivision flats and the manner in which subdivision plat approvals are
                               to be coordinated with the Village's zoning regulations.

                               ARTICLE III -MINIMUM STANDARDS AND REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS.
                               The dozen sections under this article provide for general standards, treatment of
                               natural features, roadway specifications (monumentation - layout and
                               construction), configuration of blocks to be created - subdivision lot specifications
                               (size, shape, orientation and accessibility), grading and drainage of the tract,
                               specifications for the type and size of easements to be provided, provisions for
                               sewage disposal and water supply systems, and other utilities, safety and aesthetic
                               arrangements (street lighting, street trees, signs and screening or buffering),
                               provision of park and playground or open space areas or payment in lieu of such
                               areas, and adjustments to the approved and filed final plat.

                               ARTICLE IV - ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT. The last article
                               of the Subdivision Regulations provides for notice to the County Clerk, recording
                               of final plats, fee and separate (formal) acceptance of improvements or facilities

                              e.      Dangerous or Unsafe Structures Ordinance.

                              This ordinance allows the Village Board of Trustees to authorize an appointed
                              inspector to investigate dangerous or unsafe structures.         If a building is
                              determined unsafe and upon neglect or refusal of the owner to remedy the
                              dangerous conditions, the Village Board can seek an order in State Supreme Court
                              for repair or removal of such building. The ordinance imposes a $500.00
                              penalty.

                              f.      Ordinance 65-1.


                              The improper storage or accumulation of trash, garbage, refuse, junk, dismantled
                              or wrecked vehicles and other deleterious materials is prohibited by this
                              ordinance. A $25.00 fine accompanies violation of these regulations.

                              9-      NYS Uniform Fire Protection and Building Code.

                              Local administration of this code commenced in 1985 as part of intermunicipal
                              agreements with four other communities for the shared services of a code
                              enforcement officer. Portions of the Village's Land Use Code have been
                              rendered obsolete.


                              The Village's Land Use Code provides a comprehensive regulatory framework
                              conducive to implementation of the policies and purposes of this program.
                              Requirements for physical development (under Part I) support many of the
                              Section III policies concerning development, flooding and erosion, scenic quality
                              and water quality. The subdivision regulations (under Part Village II) also
                              support the development, scenic quality and water quality policies, and further
                              policies on public access and recreation. Nearly all of the policies of Section III
                              will, to a certain extent, rely on the zoning regulations (under Part III) for
                              implementation. With a sound basis in comprehensive planning, the zoning
                              regulations were carefully drafted to guide future development patterns - and
                              densities in a manner which would accommodate existing development conditions,
                              acknowledge severe physical constraints to new development, emphasize marine-
                              related development around the Village's small harbor area, avoid or minimize
                              impacts on environmentally sensitive areas, protect valuable resources (e.g.
                              surface and groundwater, shoreline, open space and scenic corridors), and
                              encourage economic development.

                              Nevertheless, the Land Use Code fell short of fully addressing all applicable
                              Section III policies warranting regulatory implementation. Policies concerning
                              fish and wildlife resources, historic resources, and wetlands received little or no
                              attention. Many of the policies addressed by the code in general terms suffered
                              from inadequate implementation given the code's separate, earlier origins and
                              differently construed, imprecise or missing standards. For example, the current
                              zoning districts and their respective area requirements would be generally


                                                             V-10








                               conducive to the proposed land uses described in Section IV, but not entirely so.
                               As another example, the three Planned Development Districts were, for all
                               practical purposes, without standards. These and other past shortcomings are
                               listed below:

                               1.     lack of specific emphasis on water-dependent and water-enhanced uses,
                               2.     inadequate guidance for harbor development,
                               3.     lot size requirements which are excessive in. comparison to existing lot
                                      sizes, particularly where public sewers will be provided to support
                                      concentrations of development
                               4.     lack of any regulatory means for protection of fish and wildlife habitats.
                               5.     inadequate means of addressing/managing wind driven wave and ice
                                      damage to shoreline structures.
                               6.     limited guidance for protecting public access and recreation facilities from
                                      private development impacts,
                               7.     absence of protection for significant historic structures,
                               8.     limited guidance for protecting and enhancing scenic and other visual
                                      resources.
                               9.     absence of means for reducing or preventing non-point pollution,
                               10.    inconsistencies between the zoning districts and the proposed land uses
                                      described in Section IV.


                       Town


                       Unlike the Village, the Town of Morristown is essentially without regulatory means of
                       policy implementation. Only the local administration and enforcement of the NYS
                       Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code can be noted. Since this code governs all
                       new construction, some aspects of aesthetics and property maintenance, and all
                       installations of individual sewage disposals systems, local enforcement does further
                       coastal policies concerning development, scenic quality and water quality.                A
                       comprehensive set of regulations and standards is needed.

               2.      Additional Local Laws and Regulations Adopted

                       Village.


                       To ensure implementation of the program's various coastal policies, the Village enacted
                       a comprehensive series of amendments to its zoning regulations and a local "consistency
                       law." A general description of these amendments are provided below.

                       a.      Amendments to the Land Use Code, Part HI - Zoning Regulations

                       ARTICLE I - ENACTMENT AND APPLICATION. Section 3 of this article was
                       amended to include protection and beneficial use of the Village's coastal resources as part
                       of the purpose statement. Specific reference to implementation of the LVVRP's coastal



                                                              V-11








                       policies is provided. Definitions have been added to Section 5 (Appendix 'C') as
                       appropriate for terms originating in or pertaining to the LWRP.

                       ARTICLE II - ESTABLISHMENT OF DISTRICTS. Section 7 has been revised to make
                       the zoning districts compatible with the Proposed Land and Water Uses map in the
                       LWRP (Section IV). The new districts (see Figure 12) would take the following form:

                       R-V    Residential-Village Center (formerly part of R-T Residential Transition)
                       R-U    Residential-Urban (formerly R- Residential)
                       R-R    Residential-Rural (formerly P-RD Planned Residential Development)
                       R-0    Residential- Open Space (formerly V-C Village Center)
                       C-H    Commercial-Highway (formerly P-CD Planned Commercial Development)
                       H-D    Harbor Development (formerly P-WD Planned Waterfront Development)
                       F-H    Flood Hazard (Overlay) unchanged)
                       W-R    Waterfront Review (Overlay) (new)
                       P-D    Planned Development (floating) (new)

                       Text has been added as needed to reference specific district regulations, supplementary
                       regulations, standards for conditional uses, and administrative procedures applicable to
                       both the basic and overlay districts. Specific procedures for establishment of Planned
                       Development Districts are set forth under this article. Requirements applicable to mobile
                       home courts have been deleted from this article in favor of more comprehensive mobile
                       home regulations under article iv - supplementary regulations.

                       ARTICLE III - APPLICATION OF REGULATIONS. The requirements under Section
                       15 have been shifted to ARTICLE IV - SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS to form
                       a single, more comprehensive section addressing requirements applicable to the
                       Waterfront Review (Overlay) District. For land use or development within the
                       Waterfront Review (Overlay) District, the Coastal Policies will be used as review
                       standards.


                       ARTICLE IV - SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS. The most significant amendment
                       to this article entails the inclusion of site plan review regulations and, for land use or
                       development within the Waterfront Review (Overlay) District, the LWRP's coastal
                       policies as review standards for the site plan review process. Reference to administrative
                       procedures of ARTICLE V would necessarily be provided here.

                       ARTICLE V - ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT. The final set of
                       amendments to the zoning regulations include administrative procedures for site plan
                       reviews. Where review of land use or development within the Waterfront Review
                       (Overlay) District is involved, the site plan review procedures provide for a Waterfront
                       Assessment Form (WAF) to be used for local consistency reviews. Required submissions
                       for site plan review, including the WAF, are referenced from this article to PART IV,
                       APPENDIX 'B' of the Land Use Code.






                                                             V-12









                       b.     LWRP Consistency Law.

                       "A Local Law Establishing Consistency Requirements and Review Procedures for Village
                       Actions Involving the Waterfront Area" was adopted for implementation of the LWRP
                       regarding actions by the Village. This local law will require of each board, department,
                       office, officer or other body of the Village of Morristown that its actions to directly
                       undertake or to permit, fund or otherwise approve any project, use or activity within the
                       waterfront area be consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the applicable State
                       and local coastal policies set forth in the Village of Morristown/Town of Morristown
                       Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. To this end, the LWRP Consistency Law
                       establishes procedures for:

                              1.     initial review of proposed actions in a manner compatible with
                                     requirements of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA)
                                     and Title 6, Part 617 NYCRR;

                              2.     advisement and assistance to applicants (if involved) and/or the      boards,
                                     departments, offices, officers or other bodies of the Village involved
                                     regarding forms, procedures, etc.; and,

                              3.     LWRP Consistency and SEQRA review through the Village Planning
                                     Board and the local lead agency respectively.

                       The zoning amendments have improved the Village's ability to implement the LWRP in
                       several ways. First, as previously noted, the reshaping of zoning districts foster an
                       overall land use pattern in concert with Section IV of the program. Second, the specific
                       requirements for the amended districts implement virtually all of the applicable
                       Development Policies and further others under the Flooding and Erosion, General, Public
                       Access and Recreation, Scenic Resources and Water and Air Resources policy groups.
                       Finally, creation of the Waterfront Review (Overlay) District, incorporation of Site Plan
                       Review regulations and inclusion of all coastal policies as Site Plan Review criteria
                       further implement the above policy groups while assuring that Fish and Wildlife and
                       Energy and Ice Management policies are also considered.

                       Direct actions proposed to be undertaken in the waterfront area are guided by local
                       consistency reviews according to the LWRP Consistency Law. Such actions are to be
                       consistent with and, thus, implement all applicable coastal policies.

                       Town


                       It was once thought that there would be little new development within the Town's
                       waterfront area. This belief was due to the already extensively developed shoreline, the
                       difficult topography just inland of the shoreline, and the extensive agricultural activity.
                       However, recent experience has shown that devleopment has continued within the coastal
                       area. There are numerous factors that have contributed to the ongoing developmental
                       pressure, some of which are: the expansion of Fort Drum, the construction of several


                                                             V-13








                       prisons, a continuing desire for recreational facilities (summer cottages) by residents of
                       nearby metropolitan areas, a continuing decline in agricultural activities, revitalization
                       and growth in the Village, and a general growth in the North Country economy. This
                       combination of factors has led to a development on lands formally thought unsuitable for
                       such activities and has led to the recognition of the need to implement the LYIRP's
                       applicable policies to ensure the long term protection and beneficial use of the Town's
                       coastal resources.


                       a.     Waterfront Area Site Plan Review.


                       This recently adopted proposed   local law requires that a site plan be prepared for each
                       development proposal (excluding one-or two-family residences and customary farm
                       structures) within the waterfront area and that no building permit for such development
                       be issued unless and until such site plan had been reviewed and approved by the Town
                       of Morristown Planning Board. Applicable coastal policies from the LWRP have been
                       incorporated in the law as review criteria. Specifications for preparation of site plans
                       and administrative procedures for their approval are included.             Provisions for
                       enforcement, penalties applicable to convictions for violations and appeals likewise
                       enacted in the law.



                       b.     LWRP Consistency Law.

                       This local law is basically identical to that of the Village. Actual consistency review
                       procedures would be slightly simpler, however. Review necessarily involve the Town
                       Clerk and the board or department proposing the action. Provisions allow for referrals
                       of more complex or difficult consistency reviews for Planning Board input.

                       C.     Minimum Lot Size Regulations.

                       The Town has adopted minimum lot size legislation to address the problem of tightly
                       clustered development. This problem is most evident along the shores of the St.
                       Lawrence River and Black Lake where summer cottages are being constructed with as
                       little as two feet separation. This has created fire hazards, non-source point pollution,
                       asthetics degradation and a general deterioration in the qualities of the Town's waterfront
                       area.


                       d.     Additional Regulations.

                       The Town will vastly increase its LWRP implementation capabilities by the consideration
                       of legislation that will address additional concerns, such as: mobile homes, mobile
                       parks, campground, commercial signage, junk automobiles, and subdivision. At this
                       time it has not been determined whether to address these concerns individually or within
                       a comprehensive package. The Town will address these concerns not only in its LVRP's
                       implementation goals, but with a Townwide consideration. The Town has recognized



                                                             V-14








                       that actions within the LWRP boundary area, and outside of the area, have a direct
                       relationship upon the impacts felt in both areas.

               B.      OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACTIONS


                       In addition to the regulatory measures described on the preceding pages, several other
                       public and private actions will be necessary to assure implementation of the LWRP.
                       Those pertaining to the Village include a traffic and parking study, a harbor management
                       plan, a sedimentation/eutrophication control study for inner Morristown Bay, pursuit of
                       jurisdiction regarding use of the harbor's waters, a facade/streetscape improvements
                       study, public-private participation and other implementation activities involving technical
                       assistance and coordination. Other actions pertaining to the town include a sewer
                       extension feasibility study, creation of a planning board and other implementation
                       activities including technical assistance for training and consistency reviews. Each of
                       these other public and private actions is described briefly below.

                       Village


                       1. Comprehensive Traffic and Parking Study.

                       In the older, steeper section of the Village, buildings hug closely to the north-south
                       streets running parallel to Morristown Bay. Along the northern section of Main Street,
                       dense development-- with little or no setback-- and curb cuts or side streets allow for
                       only limited parallel parking. Currently, traffic circulation problems and parking
                       deficiencies are primarily linked to major events and activities. Local officials recognize,
                       however, that installation of a village sewer system will spur new development activity
                       and increase both traffic congestion and parking demand.

                       Therefore, the Village proposed a comprehensive study of its circulation system and
                       parking supply to identify alternatives for handling increased traffic loading and means
                       for increasing parking capacity. The study area would encompass most of the older
                       section of the Village east of the bay, with Main Street and the harbor area receiving the
                       greatest attention. Costs for the study are estimated to range between $5500 and $7500.
                       The study should be completed as a short term priority (2-3 years).

                       2. Harbor Management Plan.

                       In tandem with the comprehensive traffic and parking study, the Village proposes the
                       preparation of a harbor management plan to establish long term guidelines for optimum
                       harbor use and development. Coordination between the two studies will be essential
                       since harbor uses will generate traffic and parking demands while circulation alternatives
                       and potential parking capacities will be limiting factors regarding harbor development.
                       The management plan would assess existing constraints and conditions such as water
                       depth, sediment and weed growth characteristics, current and wave dynamics, ice
                       formation and breakup, existing shoreline structures, ownership patters and the built
                       environment surrounding the harbor. Based on the above assessments, the management


                                                              V-15








                       plan would provide standards for the development of marinas and other facilities affecting
                       use of the harbor's limited water surface and shoreline and guidelines for support
                       facilities and water enhanced uses to be encouraged inland from the immediate harbor
                       shoreline. Finally, the management plan would recommend administrative and financial
                       mechanisms for implementation. Costs for preparation of the harbor management plan
                       are estimated in the range of $20,000. The plan should be developed as a short term
                       priority (2-3 years).

                       3. Inner Morristown Bay Sedimentation/Eutrophication Control Study.

                       As noted in Section U, inner Morristown Bay is experiencing significant sedimentation
                       and weed growth due to limited flow of surface runoff (via Louce Creek) and constriction
                       of general currents at the Northumberland Street bridge.

                       Therefore, the Village proposes an overall sedimentation/eutrophication control study for
                       the inner bay to examine the feasibility and costs of both structural and non-structural
                       means of dealing with the problem. A consulting firm with a strong background in
                       hydrology, hydraulic engineering and marine construction would be sought. Costs for
                       this study have not been estimated at this point. As a longer-term priority, the work
                       would not be undertaken for at least 5 years.

                       4.     Main Street Facade/Streetscape Improvements Study.

                       An architectural firm would be hired to develop recommendations for revitalizing the
                       Village center portion of Main Street. The firm would be directed to assess existing
                       strengths and weaknesses of the Village center's image and provide recommendations and
                       guidelines for facade improvements, landscaping, lighting, street furniture and other
                       features to enhance the area's character and vitality. Recommendations would include
                       programmatic and financial measures needed for implementation. This study is also a
                       longer-term priority (5 years+) and has not been assigned cost estimates.

                       5.     Additional Jurisdiction into the Harbor.


                       Subsequent to preparation of the harbor management plan, the Village will pursue
                       obtaining jurisdiction from the shore into the harbor's waters for purposes of regulating
                       boat traffic and general harbor activity. The increase in jurisdiction would be pursued
                       under the authority of Section 46(a) of Article 4 of the State Navigation Law. Such
                       authority must be approved by the NYS Bureau of Marine and Recreation Vehicles
                       within the Office of Parks and Recreation and Historic Preservation.


                       6.     Public-Private Participation.

                       Given the obvious linkages between private development potential and village efforts to
                       provide public sewers, improve traffic circulation, increase parking supplies, manage
                       development in and around the harbor and revitalize Main Street in the Village center,
                       a significant level of public-private cooperation and participation will be essential.


                                                             V-16








                       Timely input from private landowners, developers, and local business interests will help
                       local officials and their consultants shape the various implementation activities in these
                       critical sections of the Village's waterfront area. Joint planning with the affected
                       business and landowners, cost sharing and coordinated project efforts will maximize
                       benefit in both the public and private sectors. Such participation will also assure that
                       private sector interests are aware of and sensitive to coastal policies as may be applicable
                       to their development plans.

                       7.     Other implementation Activities.

                       Technical assistance from county, regional and/or State agencies will be needed to carry
                       out many of the projects outlined in Section IV and the other actions described in this
                       section. Assistance in preparing grant applications, communicating with funding and
                       permit issuing agencies, undertaking consistency reviews and, in general, coordinating
                       local efforts with various public agencies and private interests will be vital. Coordination
                       with the Town of Morristown will also be important for effective implementation.

                       Town


                       1.     Creation of a Town Planning Board.

                       At the time the Town enacts its Site Plan Review and Mobile Home/Campground
                       Regulations, the Town Board will need to pass a resolution creating its Planning Board.
                       Appointment of Planning Board membership would properly precede (or at least coincide
                       with) the effective date of the new regulations.

                       2.     Other implementation Activities.

                       The Town would also require technical assistance similar to that needed by the Village
                       but to a lesser extent. In place of significant grantsmanship assistance, however, training
                       for a newly established Planning Board would be a major assistance need. Assistance
                       with consistency reviews would be particularly important.           Of course, continued
                       coordination with the Village is expected as a beneficial action.

               D.     FINANCIAL RESOURCES


                      Only a portion of the costs for program implementation have been estimated at this time.
                      As the various studies are completed, they will provide a broader picture of longer-term
                      LWRP costs. Until then, sources of financing for future cost estimates cannot be
                      addressed.


                      On the other hand, many of the projects and some of the studies include tentative cost
                      estimates. These estimates will serve as general targets for the magnitude of financial
                      resources needed and the public and/or private sector sources of funds. Outlined below
                      by community, project or study and funding level are the proposed funding sources..

               Although costs have not been estimated for these two implementation activities, the Village will
               undoubtedly need to obtain technical assistance or create a local coordinator position, possibly
               both.


               Town


                     1.    Projects

                           a) Bicycling/Jogging Path

               The town will also require technical assistance and/or a part-time coordinator for LWRP
               implementation. A shared administrative position with the village may be a reasonable and
               affordable approach.


               E. REVIEW OF PROPOSED STATE AND FEDERAL ACTIONS


                     The Town and Village will review proposed State and Federal actions within the
                     waterfront area in accordance with procedures established by the New York State
                     Department of State. Such procedures are set forth in Appendices A and B.

                                 SECTION VI


                       STATE AND FEDERAL ACTIONS AND
                 PROGRAMS LIKELY TO AFFECT IMPLEMENTATION



























- 0








                      State and Federal actions will affect and be affected by implementation of the LVVFRP.
               Under State law and the U.S Coastal Zone Management Act, certain State and Federal actions
               within or affecting the local'waterfront area must be "consistent" or "consistent to the maximum
               extent practicable" with the enforceable policies and purposes of the LWRP. This consistency
               requirement makes the LWRP a unique, intergovernmental mechanism for setting policy and
               making decisions and helps to prevent detrimental actions from occurring and future options
               from being needlessly foreclosed. At the same time, the active participation of State and Federal
               agencies is also likely to be necessary to implement specific provisions of the LY*TRP.

                      The first part of this section identifies the actions and programs of State and Federal
               agencies which should be undertaken in a manner consistent with the LWRP. This is a generic
               list of actions and programs, as identified by the NYS Department of State; therefore, some of
               the actions and programs listed may not be relevant to this LWRP. Pursuant to the State
               Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act (Executive Law, Article
               42), the Secretary of State individually and separately notifies affected State agencies of those
               agency actions and programs which are to be undertaken in a manner consistent with approved
               LWRPs. Similarly, Federal agency actions and programs subject to consistency requirements
               are identified in the manner prescribed by the U.S. Coastal Zone Management Act and its
               implementing regulations. The lists of State and Federal actions and programs included herein
               are informational only and do not represent or substitute for the required identification and
               notification procedures. The current official lists of actions subject to State and Federal
               consistency requirements may be obtained from the NYS Department of State.

                      The second part of this section is a more focused and descriptive list of State and Federal
               agency actions which are necessary to further implementation of the LVIRP. It is recognized
               that a State or Federal agency's ability to undertake such actions is subject to a variety of factors
               and considerations; that the consistency provisions referred to above, may not apply; and that
               the consistency requirements can not be used to require a State or Federal agency to undertake
               an action it could not undertake pursuant to other provisions of law. Reference should be made
               to Section IV and Section V, which also discuss State and Federal assistance needed to
               implement the LWRP.

                                    SECTION VIH -- LOCAL COMMITMENT


                      Developing a solid community commitment to the LVVRP and the coastal policies
               .established therein is essential to ensure the program's implementation. Because the LY*rRP also
               represents a partnership between public and private initiatives, coordination with and
               commitment of local business interests is important,. too. This section describes the procedures
               and methods used or to be used by the town and village to foster public participation in
               development of the LWRP and commitment for its ultimate implementation.

               Waterfront Advisory Committee OYAQ - An advisory committee (formed early in 1983 and
               expanded to 18 members during the winter of 1984-85) provided a continuing means of
               garnering public participation and cooperation between the public and private sectors.
               Membership in the committee included town and village officials, local businessmen,
               representatives of the Morristown Foundation and the newly organized Chamber of Commerce,
               and other citizens of the two communities. The WAC met 6 to 10 times per year during 1984,
               1985 and 1986.


               Village Planning Board - Input from the Village Planning Board was obtained during 1985 and
               1986 as the WAC addressed Sections IV and V of the program. Planning Board members
               assisted in determining future land and water uses, waterfront projects and regulatory means for
               implementing the coastal policies of Sect-ion Ill.

               Other Public Participation - The views and plans of private landowners and local business
               entrepreneurs were solicited to ensure coordination and cooperation as the LWRP was
               developed. Specific input was obtained from the Morristown Foundation and the Greater
               Morristown Area Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the WAC meetings being open to the
               general public, a public information meeting was held to invite input on. the drafted materials
               for Sections I-V.


               Local Initiatives - Commitment to the LWRP has been demonstrated by a number of early local
               initiatives pertaining to projects or management activities proposed during the preparation of the
               draft program. Such initiatives are listed below.

                      1.      Pursuit of funding for wastewater collection and treatment facilities. (village)

                      2.      Design of wastewater collection system to accommodate future
                              development of the harbor area in concert with LWRP proposed land and water
                              uses. (village)

                      3.      Removal of the old ferry dock and installation of new floating docks according

                 Guidelines for Notification and Review of State Agency Actions Where Local Waterfront
                 Revitalization Programs are in Effect










               A.      PURPOSES OF GUJIDELUIM


                       1.     The Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act (Article 42 of the
                              Executive Law) and the Department of State' regulations (19 NYCRR Part 600)
                              require certain state agency actions identified by the Secretary of - State to be
                              consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the policies and purposes of
                              approved Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs (LWRPs). These guidelines
                              are intended to assist state agencies in meeting that statutory consistency
                              obligation.

                       2.     The Act also requires. that state agencies provide timely notice to the situs local
                              government whenever an identified action will occur within an area covered by
                              an approved LATRP. These guidelines describe a pr6cess for complying with this
                              notification requirement.      They, also provide procedures to assist local
                              governments in carrying out their review responsibilities in a timely manner.

                       3.     The Secretary of the State is required by the Act to confer with state agencies and
                              local governments when notified by a local government that a proposed state
                              agency action may conflict with the policies and purposes of its approved LAFRP.
                              These guidelines establish a procedure for resolving such conflicts.

               B.      DEFMITIONS


                       1 .    Action means:


                              a.      A "Type V or "Unlisted" action as defined by the State Environmental
                                      Quality Review Act (SEQR);

                              b.      Occurring within the boundaries of an approved LWRP; and

                              C.      Being taken pursuant to a state agency program or activity which has been
                                      identified by the Secretary of State as likely to affect the policies and
                                      purposes of the LWRP.

                       2.     Consistent to the maximum extent practicable means that an action will not
                              substantially hinder the achievement of any of the policies and purposes of an
                              approved LWRP and, whenever practicable, will advance one or more of such
                              policies. If an action will substantially hinder any of the policies or purposes of
                              an approved LWRP, then the action must be one:

                              a.      For which no reasonable alternatives exist that would avoid or overcome
                                      any substantial hindrance;




                                                              A-2








                              b.      That will minimize all adverse effects on the policies or purposes of the
                                      LV*rRP to the maximum extent practicable; and

                              C.      That will result in an overriding regional or statewide public benefit.

                       3.     Local Waterfront Revitalization Program,or LWRP means a program prepared
                              and adopted by a local government and approved by the Secretary of State
                              pursuant to Executive Law, Article 42; which program contains policies on the
                              management of land, water and man-made resources, proposed land uses and
                              specific projects that are essential to program implementation.

               C.      NOTMCATION PROCEDURE


                       1.     When a state agency is considering an action as described in H above, the state
                              agency shall notify the affected local government.

                       2.     Notification of a purposed action by a state agency:

                              a.      Shall fully describe the nature and location of the action;

                              b.      Shall be accomplished by use of either the State Clearinghouse, other
                                      existing state agency notification procedures, or through an alternative
                                      procedure agreed upon by the state agency and local government;

                              C.      Should be provided to the local official identified in the LV;" of the situs
                                      local government as early in the planning states of the action as possible,
                                      but in any event at least 30 days prior to the agency's decision on the
                                      action. (The timely filing of a copy of a completed Coastal Assessment
                                      Form with the local LWRP official should be considered adequate
                                      notification of a proposed action.)

                       3.     If the proposed action will require the preparation of a draft environmental
                              impact statement, the filing of this draft document with the chief executive officer
                              can serve as the state agency's notification to the situs local government.

              D. LOCAL GOVERNMENT REVIJEW PROCEDURE


                       1.     Upon receipt of notification from a state agency, the situs local government will
                              be responsible for evaluating a proposed action against the policies and purposes
                              of its approved LYMP. Upon request of the local official identified in the
                              LVVRP, the state agency should promptly provide the situs local government with
                              whatever additional information is available which will assist the situs local
                              government to evaluate the proposed action.



                                                              A-3








                        2.      If the situs local government cannot identify any conflicts between the proposed
                                action and the applicable policies and purposes of its approved LV;RP, it should
                                inform the state agency in writing of its finding. Upon receipt of the local
                                government's finding, the state agency may proceed with its consideration of the
                                proposed action in accordance with 19 NYCRR Part 600.

                        3.      If the situs local government does not notify the state agency in writing of its
                                finding within the established review period, the state agency may then presume
                                that the proposed action does not conflict with the policies and purposes of the
                                municipality's approved LWRP.

                        4.      If the situs local government notifies the state agency in writing that the proposed
                                action does conflict with the policies and/or purposes of its approved LWRP, the
                                state agency shall not proceed with its consideration of, or decision on, the
                                proposed action as long as the Resolution of Conflicts procedure established in
                                V below shall apply. The local government shall forward a copy of the identified
                                conflicts to the Secretary of State at the time when the state agency is notified.
                                In notifying the state agenyc, the local government shall identify the specific
                                policies and purposes of the LV;RP with which the proposed action conflicts.


                E.      RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS


                        1.      The following procedure applies whenever a local government has notified the
                                Secretary of State and state agency that a porposed action conflicts with the
                                policies and purposes of its approved LWRP:

                                a.     Upon receipt of notification from a local government that a proposed
                                       action conflicts with its approved LWRP, the state agency should contact
                                       the local LWRP official to discuss the content of the identified conflicts
                                       and the means for resolving them. a meeting of state agency and local
                                       government representatives may be necessary to discuss and resolve the
                                       identified conflicts. This discussion should take place within 30 days of
                                       the receipt of a conflict notification from the local government.

                                b.     If the discussion between the situs local government and the state agency
                                       results in the resolution of the identified conflicts, then, within seven days
                                       of the discussion, the situs local government shall notify the state agency
                                       in writing, with a copy forwarded to the Secretary of State, that all of the
                                       identfied conflicts have been resolved. The state agency can then proceed
                                       with its consideration of the proposed action in accordance with 19
                                       NYCRR Part 600.





                                                                A-4








                               C.     If the consultation between the situs local government and the state agency
                                      does not lead to the resolution of the identified conflicts, either party may
                                      request, in writing, the. assistance of the Secretary of State to resolve any
                                      or all of the identified conflicts. This request must be received by the
                                      Secretary within 15 days following the discussion between the situs local
                                      government and the state agency. The party requesting the assistance of
                                      the Secretary of State shall forward a copy of their request to the other
                                      party.

                               d.     Within 30 days following the receipt of a request for assistance, the
                                      Secretary or a Department of State official or employee designated by the
                                      Secretary, will discuss the identified conflicts and circumstances
                                      preventing their resolution with appropriate representatives from the state
                                      agency and situs local government.

                               e.     If agreement among all parties cannot be reached during this discussion,
                                      the Secretary shall, within 15 days, notify both parties of his/her findings
                                      and recommendations.


                               f.     The stage agency shall not proceed with its consideration of, or decision
                                      on, the proposed action as long as the foregoing Resolution of Conflicts
                                      procedures shall apply.

                      Consistency Review of Federal Agency Actions

              A.      DIRECT ACTIONS

                      1.     After acknowledging the receipt of a consistency determination and supporting
                             documentation from a federal agency, DOS will forward copies of the
                             determination and other descriptive information on the proposed action to the
                             program coordinator (of an approved LWRP) and other interested parties.

                      2.     This notification will indicate the date by which all comments and
                             recommendations must be submitted to DOS and will identify the Department's
                             principal reviewer for the proposed action.

                      3.     The review period will be about twenty-five (25) days. If comments            and
                             recommendations are not received by the date indicated in the notification, DOS
                             will presum that the municipality has "no opinion" on the consistency of the
                             proposed direct federal agency action with local coastal policies.

                      4.     If DOS does not fully concur with and/or has any questions on the comments and
                             recommendations and submitted by the municipality, DOS will contact the
                             municipality to discuss any differences of opinion or questions phor to agreeing
                             or disagreeing with the federal agency's consistency determination on the
                             proposed direct action.

                      5.     A copy of DOS' "agreement" or "disagreement" letter to the federal agency will
                             be forwarded to the local program coordinator.

              B.      PERMIT AND LICENSE ACTIONS


                      1.     DOS will acknowledge the receipts of an applicant's consistency certification and
                             application materials. At that time, DOS will forward a copy of the submitted
                             documentation to the program coordinator and will identify the Department's
                             principal reviewer for the proposed action.

                      2.     Within thirty (30) days of receiving such information, the program coordinator
                             will contact the principal reviewer for DOS to discuss: (a) the need to request
                             additional information for review purposes; and (b) any possible problems
                             pertaining to the consistency'of a proposed action with local coastal policies.

                      3.     When DOS and the program coordinator agree that additional information is
                             necessary, DOT will request the applicant to provide the information. A copy of
                             this information will be provided to the program coordinator upon receipt.



                                                            B-2








                      4.      Within thirty (30) days of receiving the requested additional information or
                              discussing possible problems of a proposed action with the principal reviewer for
                              DOS, whichever is later, the program coordinator will notify DOS of the reasons
                              why a proposed action may be inconsistent or consistent with local coastal
                              policies.
