                As the major point sources of water pollution are brought
          under control, the impacts of nonpoint sources have become more
          apparent., Nonpoint source pollution is caused by diffuse sources
          that contaminate waterbodies through atmospheric deposition, runoff
          from the land and/or percolation through the soil. Nonpoint source
          pollution is the primary source of contamination for.more than 80%
          of the impaired waterbodies in New York.

                Finding solutions to nonpoint source problems represents a
          significant challenge tothe people of New York. It.will not be
          as simple as finding a pipe and issuing a permit to the
          municipality or industry requiring the meeting of certain effluent
          limits.

                In many cases, the solution to nonpoint source problems will
          involve  coordination and cooperation of agencies from all levels
          of government as well as the public.

                Successful implementat ion. depends on a broad understanding of
          the problem and public support for controls.          People must be
          willing to cooperate and accept responsibility for changing their
          own practices in agriculture and industry, in cities and suburbs,
          in the workplace and at home.      As some controls will have to be
          regulatory and others voluntary, participating agencies must work
          together with farmers, developers, city planners, and others to
          implement controls.

                New York State  has recognized this need for coordination and
          cooperation early in the nonpoint source control program
          development, and invited interested groups statewide to participate
          in writing the assessment and management program reports required
          by the Clean Water Act. Invitations were extended to fellow state
          agencies and groups representing interests of agriculture,
          community, local government, environment, natural resources,
          academia, forestry, business, industry and outdoor recreation to
          participate in a working group to help create a nonpoint source
          program for New York State.

                At workshops, participants identified statewide concerns and
          aired differences of 'opinion. The working group process proved to
          be a yaluable mechanism which created understanding among interest
          groups, developed creative solutions and identified issues for
          future discussion. The resulting document attempts to recognize
          the concerns expressed by the working group while conveying DEC
          Policy.

                This Management Program identifies management practices for
          the control of nonpoint source pollution, describes a watershed
          planning process for addressing nonpoint source problems, and.
          recommends control measures to address each category of nonpoint
          source pollution that is considered a problem in New York.          The

          Management Program is meant to go hand-in-hand with the Assessment
          Report which identifies impacted waterbodies and existing programs
          for controlling nonpoint source pollution.

                The authors of this report wish to express their appreciation
          to all those who participated in the working group sessions and who
          provided comments on preliminary drafts of the report. New York
          State cannot hope to. effectively deal with nonpoint source problems
          without the continued cooperation of dedicated individuals such as
          these.     A list of those members of the working group who
          participated in the process is included in the acknowledgement
          section.

                This Management Program was made available for public review
          as required by federal regulations.      The report was modified in
          response to comments.

                                        OVERVIEW



                 Water qual ity programs traditionally have concentrated on
          controlling point sources Of pollution, and notable success has
          been achieved in New York. State through the State Pollutant
          Discharge Elimination System (SPDES), the municipal construction
          grants program, and other program efforts.      As the major point
          sources of water pollution are brought under control in New York,
          the water quality impact of so-called "nonpoint" sources becomes
          more apparent.     To continue progress toward cleaning up and
          preventing damage  to New York's waters, existing nonpoint source
          problems must be   identified, and their impacts be assessed and
          mitigated.

                 Similar  trends on a national level led the 100th Congress
          to include in  the Water  Quality Act of 1987 increased attention
          and priority  on the development and implementation of nonpoint
          source control programs. This law amended the Clean Water Act  .  and
          included a new Section 319 which authorized federal assistance for
          nonpoint source programs. It required the states to produce two
          documents -- a nonpoint source assessment and a nonpoint source
          management program. Very specific language was included in the law
          to describe the contents, of these reports. Table I-1 has excerpts
          from thell,aw which detail the report contents.

                 The provisions of the law have been used to guide and
          structure    each of the separate, but related Assessment and
          Management-Program reports.    Each must be read with an awareness
          of the content of the other.

          Nompoint Source Management Procfran Objectives

                 This management program outlines  a strategy for controlling
          nonpoint source pollution in New York.       The objectives of the
          document are:

               1.    To identify approved management practices for the control
                     of nonpoint source pollution;

               2.    To establish a watershed planning process and provide
                     guidelines for setting priorities among watersheds;

               3.    To recommend control measures needed to address each
                     ,category of nonpoint source pollution causing water     .
                     quality problems in New York;




               The Federal Water Quality Act of-1987 contains amendments to
               the Federal Clean Water Act. Reference to both Acts will be
               contained- throughout the Management Program, and both terms
               will be used interchangeably.

                                    control nonpoint sources of pollution, cannot reasonably be expected to attain or maintain
                                    applicable water quality standards or the goats and requirements of this Act;

                           (B)      identifies those categories and subcategories of nonpoint sources or, where appropriate,

                4.   To identify potential sources of funding available to
                     implement nonpoint source control programs; and

                5.   To establish a procedure ensuring that federal, state and
                     local programs are consistent with the state's nonpoint
                     source program.

           A. Basic Concepts: Nonpoint Sources and Controls

                  The concept of "nonpoint source pollution"   can be confusing.
           Nonpoint source pollution can be defined by contrasting it with
           "point source pollution."    A point source of water pollution is
           defined as a discharge from a discrete, identif-  'iable location such
           as a pipe.   A nonpoint source may be an areaw    'ide source or many
           sources distributed diffusely which cumulatively contribute to
           water quality degradation.      The characteristics that generally
           distinguish point and nonpoint sources are as follows:

               POINT SOURCE POLLUTION                NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION

              Pollutants discharged from a        Pollutants entering water at
              single source at a discrete          many locations from,many
              point.                               sources, distributed
                                                   diffusely over an area.

              ,Pollution can feasibly be           Usually best prevented or
              abated and/or  controlled            remediated by modifying
              through regulatory permits,          activities, practices or
              inspections, monitoring and          operations on the land, or
              compliance processes.                by changing land use
                                                   activities either through
                                                   the use of financial incen-
                                                   tives, voluntary compliance,
                                                   or regulation.

              technologies to remove               availability, release or
              pollutant before discharge.          transport of pollutants
                                                   that adversely affect water
                                                   quality.

              use and disposal of                  runoff from precipitation

              commercial or municipal              groundwater.
              purposes.

                  Whether a  certain type of pollution source is a point source
           or  a nonpoint source is not always clear.          some do not f it
           perfectly within the definition of either. For example, individual
           septic tanks are normally regarded as nonpoint sources of pollution

                                            1-3








           because groundwater can be polluted when many facilities are
           installed in a restricted area. However, an individual septic tank
           which discharges directly to a waterbody may be considered a point
           source. Pollution from most nonpoint sources occurs in res  .ponse to
           hydrologic events.    Contaminants transported in overland runoff
           following a storm event usually are characterized as nonpoint if
           they enter a waterbody diffusely or point if they enter at a
           discrete stormwater discharge point.     Pesticides and fertilizers
           applied on large areas of land are considered nonpoint pollutants
           if they migrate to surface or groundwater.

                  Airborne pollutants, including contaminants which are
           responsible for acid rain and particulates transported by wind,
           also are characterized as nonpoint. Although these pollutants are
           best controlled at their emission points by air quality.programs,
           their adverse impact on water quality demonstrates the need to
           include air quality programs as part of New York's nonpoint source
           and clean water management strategy.

                  The classification of sources of groundwater contamination
           as nonpoint or point is slightly different than for surface waters.
           For sections of this management program relating to groundwater,
           any source not specifically permitted through SPDES is considered
           a nonpoint source.

                  Table 1-2 lists by source category various nonpoint sources
          .of pollution affecting surface and groundwater in New York State.
           These categories represent a modification of the list the U.S.
           Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided in its nonpoint
           source program guidance.

                The control and prevention of nonpoint source impacts on the
           state's waters requires a different approach from that used with
           point sources of pollution. Those involved with control of a point
           source include only a few entities: the source owner (private or
           public) and the regulating institutions. Managing nonpoint
           sources, on the other hand, calls for the participation of a wide
           variety of players.     The Assessment Report shows that a large
           number of agencies are involved with the various aspects of
           nonpoint source pollution control. The great variety of sources,
           the range of expertise needed to deal with them, and the distribu-
           tion of legal authority and accountability all contribute to this
           sharing of the task.

                  Nonpoint source pollution usually is best prevented or
           remediated by employing one or more management practices (MPs) -
           An MP is a means of preventing or reducing the availability,
           release or transport of substances which adversely affect surface
           and groundwaters. It is a practice used to prevent or reduce the
           impact of nonpoint pollutants from a specific source category.

                Many management practices should be used by individuals or
           groups to diminish the impact of nonpoint source pollution. They
           can be utilized without a formal planning process or without an
           identification of a specific problem. They can be adopted because
           they make good environmental sense.     As with many environmental
           concerns today, there is a need to act with a degree of respon-
           sibility for the world,around us. Use of appropriate management
           practices is one aspect of such an approach.

           B.   Historic PersRective of NonRoint Source Planning in New York

                  During the last decade, a variety of programs have con-
           sidered the impact of nonpoint source pollution on New York's
           waters.    These have included planning efforts, demonstration
           projects and implementation programs.      A review of the major
           initiatives wi'11 help put the goals of this management program in
           perspective with past water quality initiatives in New York.

                  Section 208   of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
           Amendments of 1972 required states to undertake water quality
           management planning. States were to initiate a process to identify
           major water quality problems, assess the need for government
           actions to address those problems and establish the institutional
           framework to ensure that solutions to water quality problems would
           be implemented.

                  A significant portion of the overall statewide 208 effort
           involved several studies designed to provide the State's initial
           program strategies in the area of nonpoint sources.      The source
           categories of agriculture, silviculture, construction and mineral
           extractions were studied in the planning process.      The 208 Plan
           recognized that program development for nonpoint source management
           was in its formative stages and that much additional problem
           assessment, research and planning was needed.

                  Another planning requirement of the Clean Water Act is that,
           under Section 303 (e) , states are required to maintain a Continuing
           Planning  Process (CPP). New York's original CPP was written and
           approved by EPA in 1983. It has been updated several times with
           the most  recent revision dated January, 1989.    The CPP is to be
           viewed as an overview of how water quality management decisions are
           reached  and implemented.     It describes each o,  'f the programs
           involved in water quality management, including the nonpoint source
           program.

                 The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
           (DEC) by  virtue of its statutory authority for the management of
           water resources and control of water pollution in the state, has
           assumed the lead responsibility for control of nonpoint source
           pollution. One action taken by DEC to carry out its responsibility
           was the development of a draft Nonpoint Source Management Strategy
           in July, 1986. This strategy described existing programs and made

                                           1-6







            recommendations for new initiatives to address various nonpoint
            sources. This strategy was not issued as a final document due.to
            the pending amendments to the Clean Water Act which would have its
            own requirements for a nonpoint source management program. '

                 DEC will use its role as the lead agency for water quality
            activities in the state to require that other agencies who take
            actions under the auspices of the nonpoint source program be
            consistent with program objectives.       This will be done through
            memorandums of understanding with appropriate agencies, consistency
            reviews of federal actions and contracts with regional planning
            agencies (and/or Soil and Water Conservation Districts) who receive
            pass-through funding under the Clean Water Act.

            C.     State Clean Water Strategy

                   Nonpoint source pollution control is one.of several program
            areas  given new emphasis in the Water Quality Act of 1987.
            Programs that increase efforts to achieve the national goal of
            swimmable and fishable waters were strengthened.         Among these ,
            programs such as the Clean Lakes Progran and toxics control also
            are required to develop assessments of impacted waters as a first
            step in focusing available capabilities on waters needing atten-
            tion.

                   EPA has suggested that states develop clean water strategies
            to coordinate water quality programs in an holistic Way. The long-
            term objective is to identify those waters not meeting water
            quality standards or    supporting designated uses, whatever the
            cause, and then target   appropriate programs and resources to deal
            with those situations.

                   For New York,    in the   first round of assessments, each
            program will produce its own list of waters of concern using the
            Priority Water Problem list as a common data base. This assessment
            contains the current identification of waters affected by nonpoint.
            sources.


                   In the future, after the completion of the statewide update
            of the assessment, a unified cross-program assessment procedure
            will be adopted with the purpose of improving the Priority Water
            Problem list.     Revisions will be made biennially.        This will
            provide a more complete basis for targeting all water quality
            management programs -as suggested by the clean water strategy
            guidance.

            D.   Content of the Management Program

                   New York's Nonpoint Source Management Program discusses all
            the topics required by the Water Quality Act of 1987 (see Table
            I-1) . In addition, several other key topics, identified during the
            development of the Assessment Report and the Management Program,
            have been addressed in the report.

          0     MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LIST OF ST  ATE WATERS AFFECTED
                BY NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION

                     Chapter II describes New York's process for an ongoing
                assessment of waters impacted by nonpoint source pollution.
                While this was not a requirement of Section 319, it is
                regarded as an essential component of the Management Program.

          0     IDENTIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (MPs) TO BE USE     D. TO
                REDUCE NONPOINT SOURCE EFFECTS

                     Chapter   III   lists  management    practices    currently
                recognized for addressing water quality problems.      Lists of
                agricultural and silvicultural MPs are included. As MPs for
                each source category are approved (using the procedure
                .described in Chapter IV of the Assessment Report) , a catalogue
                of those practices will be prepared.

          0     RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONTROL OPTIONS NEEDED TO ADDRESS NONPOINT
                SOURCE POLLUTION

                     Chapter IV describes the major categories of nonpoint
                source pollution that are affecting waters in New York,
                identifies the-programs presently available to address these
                sources, and makes recommendations for new measures and
                control options.

          0     TARGETED PROGRAM APPROACHES FOR CONTROLLING NONPOINT SOURCE
                POLLUTION

                     Chapter V outlines the watershed planning process. It
                also explains when corrective actions should be taken on a
                watershed level and when a statewide approach is appropriate.
                The process used for setting priorities among watersheds is
                also described. This is another topic not required by Section
                319 but viewed as an essential component of the management
                program.


          0     SCHEDULE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM

                     Chapter VI lists a four-year schedule for the implemen-
                tation of the components of the management program.

          0     SOURCES OF FUNDING TO BE USED IN IMPLEMENTING NONPOINT SOURCE
                PROGRAMS

                     Chapter VII identifies potential funding sources for
                implementing the management program in addition to funds
                authorized by Section 319.

          0     REVIEW FEDERAL PROGRAM  S TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY WITH THE
                NONPOINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
                @ . Chapter VIII establishes a mechanism for the review of
                federal financial assistance programs and federal development
                projects to ensure that they are consistent with nonpoint
                source program implementation objectives and priorities.*

          E.    Remediation and Prevention

                The nonpoint source program cannot focus entirely on water-
          bodies already impaired.      Surface waterbodies and groundwater
          resources that are supporting designated uses but are threatened
          by existing or changing land use patterns must.be protected. The
          planning process described in Chapter V can be applied to watershed
          and aquifer protection programs as well as to remediation programs.
          It is not necessary for a problem to develop before protection
          measures are taken.

                                       CHAPTER II


                        PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT
                         OF THE tIST OF STATE WATERS AFFECTED
                                  -BY NONPOINT SOURCES


                  The assessment of water quality problems caused by nonpoint
          source pollution will be the basis for the implementation of
          control programs.     Priorities for program development and for
          watershed planning will be established using information contained
          in the assessment.      Therefore, the assessment ideally should
          provide an accurate and complete description of problems and their
          sources.


               An inventory of waterbodies affected by nonpoint source
          pollution is also required by Chapter 436 of the New York State
          Laws of 1989 (this law is included as Appendix B) .        This law
          amended Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law creating
          a Nonpoint Source Water Pollution Control Program. According to
          Section 17-1405, DEC (in cooperation with the State Soil and Water
          Conservation Committee) is required to prepare a report by January,
          1991 which:

                      a.  identifies those waterb odies within the
                          state which, without additional action to
                          control nonpoint sources of pollution,
                          cannot reasonably be expected to attain
                          and maintain applicable water quality
                          standards; and

                     b.   identifies categories or subcategories of
                          nonpoint sources or particular nonpoint
                          sources which add significant amounts of
                          pollution to each waterbody identified
                          above."

          This report is  to then-be updated at least every five years.

          A.    Benefits of Updating Assessment

                  The Assessment Report identifies numerous waterbodies in
          .the state that are affected by nonpoint source pollution. It was
          based primarily on the Priority Water Problem (PWP) list which is
          the Division's official list of impaired waterbodies.             The
          Assessment provides a listing of problems known at the time the
          report was prepared. However, it cannot be viewed as a complete
          and final list.    There are several ways in which the lists of
          affected waterbodies provided in the Assessment Report can be
          enhanced.




                                          II-1








           1    Use additional sources of information to identify possible
                nonpoint source impacts. In the time available to complete
                the report, it was not possible to utilize data sources which
                require extensive analysis and interpretation. Studies such
                as DEC's'analysis of toxic substances in fish and wildlife
                and NOAA's estuarine models should be reviewed as part.of the
                process of updating the.Assessment. Groundwater information
                from Nassau and Suffolk Counties should be utilized.

           2.   Provide an opportunity for everyone with knowledge of
                nonpoint source problems and sources in New York to present'
                this information. A procedure to solicit input from sources
                outside of DEC must be established and this information
                factored into the Assessment.

           3.   Refine the inform ation provided with more details on specific
                nonpoint sources..     The PWP list only identifies general
                source categories, such as agriculture.        For establishing
                statewide programs, more specific source informati'on is
                needed.      For instance, knowledge of the extent of
                agricultural problems caused by source subcategories such as
                row cropping, barnyard runoff and livestock access to streams
                would be helpful in setting priorities for program
                development.

           4.   Expand the database to include waterbodies that are stressed
                or threatened by.nonpoint source pollution.        The nonpoint
                source progran should include actions intended to prevent
                these waterbodies from becoming impaired.

           5.   Develop a statewide organized data 'management       system f or
                groundwater quality.      The Upstate Groundwater      Management
                Program recommends that DEC develop a groundwater problem
                inventory for use in program performance assessment, priority
                setting and refinement of programs. This inventory could be
                used to identify groundwater problems caused by nonpoint
                sources.


           6.   Maintain  a real time assessment of water quality problems in
                the state.    Any assessment must be regarded as a snapshot
                which identifies problems known at the time it was performed.
                Periodic revisions will result in both additions ' and
                deletions to the list.       As awareness of nonpoint source
                pollution increases, it is likely that more water quality
                problems will be identified.         Successful implementation
                programs should result in some problems being solved, thus
                enabling removal of waterbodies from the list.

                Therefore, to address. these issues, an update of the
           assessment is recommended and provisions should be made to
           periodically update the lists of waterbodies with water quality
           problems.


                                            11-2











                 B.      Goals of Future Assessments

                         The process for updating the assessment will use the
                 available data sources and will be open to a wider audience. It
                 will list waterbodies where there is a significant threat of water
                 quality degradation from nonpoint sources due to proposed or
                 actual changes in the watershed.                              Future assessments will also
                 include breakdowns of source categories which will serve as
                 guidance for program development activities.

                         The upd      ated assessment will reflect local perspectives and
                 knowledge. DEC will advocate that                          eventually this assessment will
                 be used to set priorities on the local level. By involving more
                 people in the assessment process, the understanding of problems
                 and the base of support for implementation of nonpoint source
                 controls will be expanded. Agencies and groups involved with the
                 implementation of management practices will be encouraged to
                 concentrate efforts on watersheds identified in the assessment.
                 A recommended watershed planning process is provided in Chapter V.

                         Water quality problems will continue to be categorized based
                 on the effects on a waterbody.                            As explained in the Assessment
                 Report, every waterbody in the state has been classified according
                 to its       "best use".            Each use has a set of standards associated
                 with it      that limit the concentrations of various contaminants that
                 can be       present in the water.                       These classifications and their
                 standards are the basis for assessing water quality.                                                A water
                 quality problem exists only where a classified use is affected.
                 The effects can range from precluding a classified use to
                 threatening the ecosystem.

                         The Division of Water                 has used several methods to categorize
                 these impacts in the past. For future assessments, the effects of
                 both point and nonpoint source pollution will be categorized by
                 severity using the system shown below.

                                                       Categories of Impacts

                     Threatened: Water quality presently supporting designated use and
                                ecosystems exhibit no obvious signs of stress; however,
                                existing or changing land use patterns may result in
                                restricted usage or ecosystem disruption. These waters have
                                the least impacts.

           C.   Process Initiation

                The first update of the Nonpoint Source   Assessment Report    was
           conducted in 1989. The process to be used for this was based on
           experience gained iron the PWP process and from the pilot
           assessment meetings described in the Assessment Report. Working
           in cooperation with the State Soil and Water Conservation
           Committee, DEC established a plan to accomplish this task.

                This process will provide the information needed for the
           inventory required in the new Section 17-1405 of ECL.

                A two-phase process for identifying problem waterbodies was
           used.    The first phase had each Soil and Water Conservation
           District conduct a survey of nonpoint source pollution in their
           county. This gave Districts an opportunity to play a key role in
           the Assessment process.     Districts invited agencies, groups and
           individuals from within their county to participate in identifying
           water quality problems.       Districts collected information and
           presented.it to DEC during the next phase of the process.

                  The second phase consisted of meetings of representatives
           from the key agencies within each county to discuss the results of
           the NPS survey and other available information about water quality
           problems.   'DEC coordinated these meetings. The meeting provided
           the Soil and Water Conservation District personnel and DEC
           Regional Water'and Fisheries staff with an opportunity to discuss
           water quality problems in each county.

                Prior to holding meetings, DEC collected.and analyzed water
           quality data from the sources mentioned'earlier in this chapter.
           Some of these data sources have been used in the past to identify
           impaired waterbodies, but they were now reviewed to find
           threatened segments.     These include: DEC's Toxic Substances in
           Fish and Wildlife Analyses Since May 1, 1982 and the Clean Lakes
           Report.    Data from these sources were reviewed to indicate
           waterbodies which are slightly below the established thresholds
           for impairment but might be considered stressed or threatened.
           other data sources which have not been used in the past due to
           @navailability of data or time constraints were reviewed to
           identify' waterbodies which may have water quality problems.
           Sources such as the NOAA estuarine models are included in this
           category.

                During the meeting, all participants had an opportunity to
           identify water quality problems.        Discussions focused on one
           watershed at a.time.    The Soil Conservation Service's Hydrologic


                                            11-4








          watershed Units were the basis for delineating the watersheds
          within the county.      When there was a consensus that a water
          quality problem exists on a specific waterbody, information
          regarding the problem was recorded.

                Recognition of a water quality problem was the starting point
          for discussions.    The intent of the assessment update is not to
          develop an inventory of-land uses. The existence of a land use
          which may be associated with nonpoint        sour'ce pollution is not
          sufficient to be considered a problem,        A classif ied use of a
          surf ace waterbody or groundwater must      be precluded, impaired,
          stressed or threatened to be regarded as    a problem.

                The level of information available to        determine that a
          problem exists varied.     In some cases, water   quality monitoring
          data or modeling studies were available.       For other cases, the
          recognition of the problem was based entirely on perception and
          professional judgement. The amount of documentation available was
          recorded along with other information about the segment.
          Background data such as segment name and affected area were noted.
          The pollutants present and their effects on the waterbody Were
          listed.    Sources which contribute to the problem and their
          relative contributions were noted.

                Water quality problems identified during the assessment will
          be included on a revised list of waterbodies affected by nonpoint
          sources.   This list will be kept separate from the PWP list and
          will be marked, "Draft, Subject to Agency Verification".

          D.    Verification Process

                A procedure for verification of information presented during
          the   Assessment update will be developed.       Only segments with
         ,verified water quality problems will be included on the PWP list.
          verification may be conducted by DEC Regional Water or Fisheries
          staff during their routine operations. DEC Central Office staff
          from the Bureau of Technical Services and Research or the Bureau
          of Monitoring and Assessment may be called upon to conduct special
          studies.     In some cases, other agencies may be involved in
          verification efforts.

                For segments where water quality monitoring or fish survey
          data exist, the data will be collected and analyzed to determine
          whether it supports the information provided. Fish population and
          habitat studies are generally available through DEC Regional
          Fisheries staff. Water quality monitoring data may be available
          from several sources. The Division of Water has several programs
          which conduct water quality monitoring.       The primary activities
          are the Rotating Intensive Basin Studies and the Intensive Stream
          Surveys, both conducted by the Bureau of Monitoring and
          Assessment.    The U.S. Geological Survey is another agency which
          performs water quality monitoring and may have data on a specific

                                           11-5








          stream. Some universities and colleges also have programs which
          collect data and study waterbodies. Finally, local groups (such
          as lake associations) may have data available from efforts such as
         .the citizen's lake assessment program or studies which they have
          hired a consulting engineer to perform.

                On many segments, there will be little or no monitoring data
          available. Additional monitoring may be recommended. In the case
          of water quality problems which are perceived to be associated
          with runoff, such monitoring would emphasize storm events,
          especially those associated with spring snow melt conditions.
          Some prioritization of problem watersheds should be undertaken
          before the monitoring is initiated to assure that the most
          significant problems are addressed.

                Modeling s tudies also, have a role in the verification
          process, and whenever possible, should be us-ed in conjunction with.
          monitoring data.     The models should be based on continuous
          simulation --of hydrologic conditions and should     be capable of
          relating water quality conditions to specific         sources in a
          watershed or on the      -land 'surface.   In some    cases, models
          calibrated by limited monitoring data may provide adequate
          verification of a water quality problem.

                Verification of nonpoint source       related water quality
          problems through the analysis of existing   data, the collection of
          new data or modeling studies may be done by the DEC Regional
          Offices, the DEC Central Office or another agency under the
          guidance of DEC.    Because of the complex and episodic nature of
          nonpoint source pollution, expertise is needed in the proper
          collection of water quality monitoring data and interpretation of
          the results in terms of cause and effect.         If monitoring is
          conducted by an outside agency, the verification scheme must be
          approved by DEC.      The scheme must be- subject to the same
          scientific principles and data quality assurance procedures that
          apply to all sampling and monitoring carried out by DEC.

          E.    Updating the Priority Water Problem List.

                The Division of Water will compile the next edition of the
          Priority Water Problem List in 1990.     It will be-issued in 1991.
          The list will remain as the Division's official list of surface
          waterbodies with water quality problems.       For the update, the
          categories of impacts. listed on pages 3 and 4 (precluded,
          impaired, stressed, threatened) will be used. It will be updated
          biennially after.1991.

                Inputs to the process for updating the PWP list will be the
          existing PWP list, the list of segments nominated from the county
          nonpoint source meetings and any other segments identified as
          having water quality problems.     Segments for which it has been
          confirmed that a problem exists will be added to the PWP list.

                                          11-6








          There will be other segments which were nominated that will be
          dropped because verification procedures will demonstrate that no
          problem or threat to water quality exists'. Finally, for segments
          where no verification efforts have been performed, a separate list
          will be maintained.     The segments will remain on this separate
          list until verification efforts confirm or refute the problem.

                Between updates of the PWP list, the Division of Water will
          accept nominations for segments with problems not previously
          identified.     Information will be reviewed by the Bureau of
          Monitoring and Assessment and the Bureau of Water Quality
          Management. They will then transmit the data to the appropriate
          DEC Regional office for verification.        Segments with verified
          problems will be added to the PWP list during the next cycle.

          F.    Use of Updated Assessment

                The updated assessment will be used to prepare the inventory
          report required by Section 17-1405 of ECL.          This report will
          identify waterbodies that have a designated use precluded,
          impaired, stressed or threatened.           It will also identify
          significant categories of nonpoint sources that are affecting each
          waterbody. The report will be used to prepare a prioritized list
          of waterbodies as described in Section 17-1407. DEC will prepare
          this list after consultation with the State Soil and Water
          Conservation Committee.        only projects located within. the
          watershed of a waterbody on this prioritized list will be eligible
          for cost-sharing assistance under the state nonpoint source
          pollution control program.

                Other agencies involved with the implementation of NPS
          controls will be encouraged to select waterbodies which appear on
          the prioritized list for implementation efforts.       Projects which
          address problems on other waterbodies may be accepted in some
          cases.    However, water quality monitoring data verifying that
          water quality problems exist will be required inthese situations.

          G.    Groundwater Problem Inventg.Ky

                A system to collect information on groundwater quality
          problems must be established.        The need for this system was
          recognized during the development of the Upstate and Long Island
          Groundwater Management Programs.       Since groundwater management
          strategies are significantly different between Upstate and Long
          Island, the recommendations contained in each report will be
          discussed separately.

                1.   Upstate Groundwater Problem Inventory

                The following information is taken from Chapter IV-B of the
          Upstate New York Groundwater Management Program completed in May,
          1987 by DEC.                     11-7





                                            To property evaluate groundwater program priorities and direct
                                    program activities, it is essential to know the types, frequency, severity,
                                    and trends of problems affecting the groundwater resource.       The available
                                    information in this regard is currently rather sketchy and has been dispersed
                                    among various program areas.

                                            To support effective program planning and provide feedback on program
                                    performance in the future, there is a need for a low-level, non-resource
                                    intensive but ongoing groundwater problem inventory.

                                            The long-range goal for the Groundwater Problem Inventory is to
                                    develop and maintain a reasonably complete Listing of groundwater problems
                                    encountered.    This will be accomplished by periodically updating the
                                    inventory, therefore providing current and historical trends by which to
                                    assist management decisions.

                                            It is not Likely that the utopian ideal of a truly complete and
                                    comprehensive inventory can ever be attained, because it would require
                                    excessive resources compared to the benefits achieved.. However, a stable,
                                    Low-te'vet. effort can achieve a more valid representative sample to better
                                    assess the sources and geographic distribution of problems -being encountered.


                           The Contaminated Aquifer Segment Inven                           tory described below for
                  Long     Island serves as a model for the development of an upstate
                  list.


                           2.       Long Island Groundwater Problem Inventory

                           Long Island has a massive groundwater management-related
                  database, which is probably as extensive as that found anywhere.
                  Important categories of information include data on the aquifer
                  system itself; water quality; well punpage; important sources of
                  groundwater contamination, particularly those regulated by permits;
                  and others.

                           Organization of data on groundwater quality problems has been
                  underway for some time. A Contaminated Aquifer Segments Inventory
                  (CASI) has been assembled utilizing data from a number of agencies.
                  The segments are drawn from environmental management programs
                  which, through their operation, identify instances of groundwater
                  contamination. The segment types include oil spills; contaminated
                  public water supply wells; groupings of contaminated private water
                  supply wells; contamination incidents identified through compliance
                  and enforcement activities pursuant to water pollution regulations;
                  state and federal Superfund sites, and miscellaneously identified
                  contamination sites.

                           The Department's regional office is a member of a geographic
                  information system (GIS) users group which shares data and is
                  adding geographic locational data to existing data bases. Through
                  this cooperation, data will be available to users with a
                  minimization of duplicated effort..

                           The CASI will be the basis for the groundwater portion of
                  revised assessment lists in the future for Nassau and Suffolk
                  Counties.

                                       CHAPTER III


                                MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR
                            REDUCING NONPOINT SOURCE EFFECTS



                   The Clean Water Act recognizes the fundamental importance
           of the selection and use of best management practices (BMPs) to
           combat n6npoint sources of pollution. Management practices prevent
           or reduce the availability, release, or transport of -substances
           which adversely affect surface and ground waters.          They act
           generally to diminish the generation of pollutants from specific
           sources. This is in contrast to the control of point sources where
           the pollutants are generated and collected and then treated to
           prevent impairment of receiving waters.

                   Management practices can be operational, vegetative or
           structural.    They provide an effective means of reducing or
           preventing the impact of nonpoint pollutants from a specific source
           category. Practices can be implemented through voluntary action,
           financial incentives or regulatory requirements.

                   This  chapter lists the management practices currently
           recognized to benefit water quality and those which will be
           examined for inclusion in the list. All are s   'ubject to the review
           process described in, Chapter IV of the Assessment Report.

                   "Best" management practices will be selected from this
           approved listing. A management practice or series o   f practices is
           considered "best" in the context of solving or preventing a
           particular nonpoint source problem in a specific area or in
           response to a generic statewide situation. Por example, contour
           farming might be the best management practice on one farm while
           terraces are the proper treatment on another. Similarly, depending
           on soil and groundwater conditions, the best practice for.
           controlling stormwater runoff in one area might be an infiltration
           basin while in another a wet pond would be appropriate.

           A.      CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED MANAGEM ENT PRACTICES


                   1. Agriculture

                   The State Soil and Water Conservation Committee (SSWCC) was
           delegated the implementation -of agricultural nonpoint source
           programs in the Statewide 208 -report.      In 1981, the Committee
           published a report listing 27 management practices to be. considered
           in addressing problems.    The appropriate BMP selection would be
           made after the problem and sources of the problem are identified
           and would be based on site-specific conditions. The practices are
           shown on Table III-1 along with the agricultural source
           subcategories to which they apply.

                 2. Silviculture

                 The Department of Environmental Conservation has issued a
          series of management practices for silvicultural activities - These
          practices are promoted by the Department and by other involved
          agencies and organizations and were certified as part of the
          Statewide water quality management plan at the conclusion of the
          Section 208 planning effort. They are incorporated into the joint
          DEC/NYS Timber Producer's Association Cooperating Timber Harvester
          Programs.

               . The practices and the areas of silvicultural activity which
          they address are shown in Table 111-2.            Selection of the
          appropriate practice or practices will depend on specific site
          analysis and is determined on the site by the harvester.

          B.   OTHER CANDIDATE PRACTICES

                 Appendix A of the Nonpoint Source Assessment Report listed
          candidate practices to be reviewed by the management practices task
          force. Some of the practices on this list appeared on the lists
          of approved practices contained in this chapter. Although these
          actions were approved in earlier efforts, they will be reviewed
          again by the task force before a final approved list is developed.
          As described in Chapter IV of the Assessment, the task force
          members will recommend to the Department those practices which will
          protect or improve water quality.

               since programs already exist for promoting and assisting       in
          installation of agricultural BMPs, the practices which address that
          source category will have top priority for 'review.     The Division
          of Water has prepared a guide to the effectiveness and selection
          of agricultural management practices for improving water quality.
          This effort was based on an extensive literature review.          This
          guide will be given to the management practices task force for
          review.

             . Second priority will be for urban stormwater. The importance
          of that source plus the development of a regulatory permit program
          in complliance with the Clean Water Act call for this category to
          be addressed soon.

               The approval of management practices for the remaining source
          categories will proceed as staff time permits.        Priorities for
          categories will be established based on the extent of water quality
          problems caused by a particular source.      The updated assessment
          lists will be used to determine the extent of problems.

               The candidate practice list shown       in Appendix A of the
          Assessment Report has been revised slightly and is repeated as
          Table 111-3.

                                        CHAPTER IV


                                   PROGRAMS TO CONTROL
                                WONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION



                Overall control of most nonpoint source pollution problems
           cannot be accomplished through a single program.     This is due to
           the variety of sources, that are considered nonpoint sources.
           Nonpoint source pollution is associated with both long-term fixed
           land uses and more sporadic and transitory activities.       Programs
           for the control of sources must be developed recognizing this
           diversity. Pollution from most nonpoint sources is best controlled
           through the use of proper management practices that can alleviate
           any existing water quality impacts and prevent new, ones from
           occurring.

           A. Categories of Sources

                Land uses and activities which are considered nonpoint sources
           are listed in Chapter I as Table. 1-2.     The table identifies the
           major source categories and the sub-categories included in each.
           A discussion of known and suspected effects of the sources is
           contained in Chapter III of the Assessment Report.

                A brief description of each of the source categories fo  r which
           control options will be discussed follows.         The main source
           categories art listed in alphabetical order both here and in the
           detailed.discussion of sources later in this chapter.

                - Agriculture

                Agriculture is a leading industry in New York State and a
           critical sector of the State's economy. In 1987, nearly 8,600,000
           acres were devoted to agricultural activities. Since agricultural
           land is often managed intensively, runoff can cause water quality
           problems. Poor land management and intensive production activities
           on agricultural land can result in pollution of waters by sediment,
           nutrients and agricultural chemicals.

                IAgricultural nonpoint sources of pollution can be classified
           into two groups: land use and management operations. The first
           group relates to the actual use of a parcel of land (e.g. , row
           crops, pastureland, and truck farms). The second group relates to
           the intensity of an agricultural operations (e.g., cultural
           techniques,   pesticide   and   fertilizer . applications,    grazing
           techniques and manure utilization) . Agricultural. nonpoint sources
           of pollution are not a result of the land use or the operations
           themselves, but the inappropriate use of the land (e.g., growing
           row crops on land not suited for intensive cultivation), and
           improper management of the agricultural           operation     (e.g-,
           over-fertilization    or misap plication    of pesticides) ,     which

                                           IV-1








           increases the opportunity for contaminants from agricultural
           activities to reach either ground or surface waters.

                   Atmospheric Deposition

                Atmospheric deposition and the subcategory of acid rain have
           been identified as the most frequently occurring cause of water
           quality impairment in the state. While acid rain affecting lakes
           in the Adirondack Mountains is the dominant source identified,
           atmospheric deposition in general is considered to be affecting
           waterbodies in other parts of the state as well.       In addition,
           pollutants other than acid rain are causing water quality problems.
         .Atmospheric deposition of contaminants on urban impervious areas
           adds to the pollution of stormwater runoff.

                   Construction

                Each year nearly 50,000 acres of.land in New York comes under
           development through public and private construction activities.
           Although this represents a small portion of the state's land area,
           sedimentation due to both water and wind erosion at construction
           sites can be locally severe.     Studies have shown that rates of
           erosion from construction sites are among the highest of any source
           category.

                   Contaminated Sediment

                Contaminated sediment has resulted in fishing advisories and
           fishing bans on several major waterbodies in the state.          Lake
           Ontario and portions of the Hudson River are affected by this
           source. PCBs are the most common contaminant although other toxic
           chemicals such as dioxin, DDT, nirex and mercury are other
           examples..

                   Diffuse Urban Runoff


                Stormwater runoff from urban areas can be contaminated with
           sediment, oxygen demanding substances, pathogens, petroleum
           products and a number of toxic substances.      The large amount of
           impervious surfaces in an urban area increases the quantity of
           runoff and decreases the time it takes for peak runoff to occur.
           These factors can lead to increased flooding in addition to the
           water quality problems resulting from the pollutant load.

                - Hydrologic/Habitat Modification

                The hydrologic/habitat modification category includes a
           variety of changes to rivers and streams.        Some of the items
           included here involve changing the flow characteristics by
           construction or operation of a dam.      Another important item is
           destabilization of streambanks which leads to erosion and sediment
           problems.    Removal of riparian vegetation can increase water

                                           IV-2








            temperatures in a stream which may have an effect on fish sur-
            vival. Changing land use patterns within the watershed can result.
            in increased runoff and lead to streambank erosion problems.

                    Land Disposal

                 Land disposal of solid wastes and wastewater can result in
            the contamination of groundwater and may eventually affect surface
            waters. The most-common problem sources within this category are
            landfills, abandoned hazardous waste sites and on-site wastewater
            disposal systems. The Assessment Report identifies on-site syste .ms
            as the most evenly distributed problem source among all source
            categories found across the state.

                    Leaks, Spills and Accidents

                 This category is primarily a groundwater concern although some
            surface waterbodies have-also been affected.     Petroleum products
            were originally the focus of concern in this category.           The
            Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) now regulates the storage and
            handling of most hazardous materials.

                    Resource Extraction/Exnloration/Development

                 Sand and gravel mining as well as oil and gas well fields are
            the most significant sources in this category.     Sand and gravel
            operations account for 85% of the mining in the state. Most of the
            oil and gas well fields are located in the western and central
            parts of the state.

                    Silviculture

                 Forest harvesting activities affect a small percentage of the
            total acreage of woodland in New York each year. However, water
            quality problems due to sediment and thermal stress can result if
            proper techniques are not followed. Improper landing locations,
            poor logging road construction techniques and logging adjacent to
            streams can result in water quality problems.

                    Roadbank Erosion

                 Erosion from unvegetated ditches along state, county and local
            roads is believed to be a significant source of sediment during
             pring runoff each year. Many highway departments clean ditches
            in the fall, leaving no time to reestablish vegetation before
            s

            winter. Spring runoff then results in significant erosion.

                    Storage and Application of Deicing Agents

                 Road   salt   storage   piles. have   been   responsible     for
            contamination of groundwater in many locations across the state.
            Application of salt is regarded as a potential problem in many

                                            IV-3








           areas. Road sanding has been identified as a problem on a number
           of streams in the Adirondack Mountain area.

           B'. Pollutants and Their Effects

                 Pollution from nonpoint sources generally occurs during
           hydrologic events, such as"rainfall or snowmelt, or under heavy
           wind conditions.    The pollutants are usually transported during
           these events, although some sources, such as failing on-site septic
           systems or contaminated sediments, can deliver pollutants at any
           time.     Pollutants  'dissolved in runoff are generally more
           biologically available in waterbodies than sediment-based fractions
           and thus are potentially more damaging.
                 Table IV-1 is a summary   of common nonpoin't source pollutants
           and a description of some of    their effects.

           C.  Control Options

                 Government programs that can be used to control nonpoint
           source pollution use one or more of the following control options
           to accomplish program goals.

                 1. Planning

                 Programs that address nonpoint       source pollution through
           planning can focus on statewide or        local (watershed) issues.
           Planning, in this context, includes such activities as inventory,
           assessment and monitoring. It also includes any activities used
           to develop Management Practices and to develop the institutional
           mechanisms to facilitate and ensure their delivery when and where
           needed.


                 2. Regulatory Programs

                 Regulatory programs     can- also be     either    statewide    or
           watershed-based. An example of the latter would be watershed rules
           and regulations developed and enforced locally. Regulations could
           apply to the use of land or activities upon the land. They can
           also apply to the handling, use and storage of specific substances,
           such as petroleum products or pesticides. Regulations can also be
           used to control discharges or waste disposal onto land or into
           surface or groundwaters. The federal government can use regulatory
           authority by controlling or banning an activity. This will be u      sed
           particularly for interstate commerce issues.

                 3. Direct Government Action

                 An agency of a federal, state or local government can decide
           to act directly to prevent or remedy a nonpoint source problem.
           Examples of such actions include removing contamination, building
                                            IV-4                                      01






















                                                                              Table IV-1
                                            Suminary of Nonpoint Source Pollution Effects


                       Sediment

                       Sediment may destroy fish habitat through blanketing of fish spawning and feeding areas and elimination of certain food
                       organisms; directly impact fish through gill abrasion and fin rot, and reduce sunlight penetration, thereby impairing photosynthesis
                       of aquatic plants. Suspended sediment decreases recreational values, reduces fishery habitat, adds to the mechanical wear of
                       Water supply pumps and distribution systems, and adds to treatment costs for water supplies. Nutrients and toxic substances
                       attached to sediment par@cles are transported to waterbodies and may enter aquatic food chains, cause fish toxicity problems,
                       impair recreational uses, or degrade the water as a drinking water source.

                       Thermal Stress

                       Elevated stream temperatures can exceed fish tolerance limits, reducing survival and lowering disease resistance. Cold water
                       fish (such as trout) may be eliminated or the habitat may become marginally supportive of the fishery.



                       Nutrient (phosphorus and nitrogen) enrichment of surface waters may cause excessive algae and aquatic plant growth, choking
                       open waters and consuming oxygen (mainly through plant die-off). Fish and aquatic organisms, recreational values, and the use
                       of the resource for water supply are thereby impacted. Nitrogen contamination of drinking water significantly above the drinking
                       water standard may cause methoglobinenia (a blood disease) in infants and cattle, and has forced closure of several wa!e,
                       supplies (primarily wells).

                       Oxygen-Demanding Substa2ces

                       Organic materials may enter surface waters dissoNed or suspended in runoff. Natural decomposition of these materia!s may
                       deplete dissolved oxygen supplies in the surface waters. Dissolved oxygen (DO) may be reduced to below the threshold
                       necessary to maintain aquatic life, impairing or killing fish and other aquatic biota.

                       Toxic Substances

                       Toxic chemicals may enter surface waters either dissolved in runoff or attached to sediment or organic materials, and may enter
                       groundwaters through soil infiltration.     The principal concerns in surface waters are their entry into the food chain,
                       bioaccumulation, toxic effects on fish, wildlife and microorganisms, habitat degradation, and potential degradation of public water
                       supply sources. The groundwater impacts are primarily related to water supply sources.

                       Pathogens

                       Bacteria and viruses include infectious agents and disease,producing organisms, normally associated with lum         In and animal
                       wastes. The principal concerns are the survival and transmission of such organisms and their impacts on drinking water supplies,
                       shellfish, contact recreational waters, and fish and wildlife or domestic animals.















                                                                                     IV-5








           control structures or changing water flow. Dredging contaminated
           sediments or drilling and pumping a diversion well are specific
           activities that a government might undertake if circumstances
           warranted.


                4. Financial Incentives

                Financial   incentives   include    direct   grants,   low    or
           no-interest loans, tax breaks, cost-sharing and cross-compliance
           between programs.   Some of the programs listed in the Assessment
           Report provide full or partial funding for specific activities,
           usually at the local level.

                5. Research and Demonstration Proiects

                Some of the programs listed promote research and demonstration
           projects. These projects typically will show how a certain land
           use practice or series of practices can reduce pollutant loadings
           from nonpoint sources. Demonstration projects can be designed to
           test the effectiveness of promising practices in real-world
           applications, to gain experience with design parameters of- new
           practices and/or to attract attention to new practices.          Such
           projects may focus on a specific source category, such as manure
           spreading or landfill leachate. They may measure the effectiveness
           of certain control measures, such as planting vegetative buffer
           strips or using a new impermeable material to line landfills.
           Projects may also be tailored to specific watersheds.

                6. Technology Transfer

                Although "technology transfer" is a type of education, it is
           considered to be a distinct enough activity to have its own
           category in this report.          Technology transfer implies a
           narrowly-targeted audience which will utilize or directly apply
           the technology. It can be broken into two categories: technical
           assistance and professional training.      Technical assistance is
           working directly with a landowner, a planning board, or a land user
           to implement management practices which will resolve an identified
           problem. Technical assistance is site-specific and accounts for
           site conditions. Professional training is commonly used to help
           professionals better perform as technical assistants. It is more
           general in nature focusing on advantages and -disadvantages of
           practices but not on specific sites.

                7. Education

                Education programs to     address nonpoint source pollution
           include any material provided as school (K-12) curriculum, or
           targeted for children of school age through organizations such as
           Scouts or 4-H. It includes any general pre-profession'al training
           offered in colleges and"universities.    Also in this category are
           the full range of continuing education courses of long or short

                                           IV-6







            duration offered to adults through institutions such as high
            schools, BOCES or Cornell Cooperative Extension System..      Public
            information and public awareness activities are included as
            education programs. Examples are publications, radio or television
            publ ic service announcements, slide/video shows and events such as
            DEC's Water Week.

            D. Existing and  Needed Nonpoint Source Control Programs

                 The Assessment Report listed 58 programs that have a role     in
            the control of nonpoint source pollution in New York.       Some  of
            these programs have water quality as their primary focus  while for
            others, water quality improvement is a secondary benefit. Several
            additional programs that were previously overlooked were identified
            during the development of the management program. These programs
            are described in the sections dealing with specific source
            categories.

                 It is assumed that all existi   ng programs  will continue to
            contribute to controlling nonpoint source         pollution.      The
            management program will build on these existing   efforts. In some
            cases, expansion or redirection of existing       programs will be
            recommended, while in others new programs will be needed.

                 The remainder of th is chapter will provide   a basic plan for
            controlling nonpoint source pollution in New York. The additional
            program needs will be divided into two categories based on whether
            or not legal authority exists to carry out the      recommendations.
            The recommendations which use existing. legal authority can be
            implemented in the short term while those that require legislative
            action should be considered long-term goals.

                 The fir st section will deal with program recommendations that
            do not apply to any specific source category. These are general
            activities related to problem inventories, watershed planning and
            educational activities.    Remaining sections will each address a
            specific source category.       Source categories are listed in
            alphabetical order. For each category, there will be an assessment
            of the source and its effects on water quality in New York, a brief
            description of existing Programs that address the source., and a
            list of additional program needs.

            1.   General Management Activities


                 a. Assessment of Source

                 A fundamental activity within the overall management approach
            for nonpoint sources is assessing the sources or origins of their
            water quality effects.    The Assessment Report provides listings
            which demonstrate the extent of nonpoint source pollution across
            the state. More than 80% of the impaired waterbodies in New York
            are impacted by nonpoint sources. More specific discussions of the

                                            IV-7







          effects of particular source categories will be contained in the
          sections which deal with those sources.

               b. Current Programs to Control Source

               All of the programs listed in the Assessment Report are.part
          of the effort to control nonpoint source pollution. This section
          will discuss the programs which address a number of different
          categories of sources. Some of these are monitoring programs that
          measure water quality without regard to source.          Others are
          regulatory-programs which can apply to several nonpoint sources.

               The Division of Water has several programs which assess water
          quality through monitoring and mapping.     The Rotating Intensive
          Basin Studies and Intensive Stream Surveys are both monitoring
          efforts which identify water quality problems.      The Groundwater
          Mapping Program identifies vulnerability of aquifers to pollutants
          and their sources.     The Citizen's Lake Assessment Program i      s
          jointly administered by the Division of Water and the N.Y.
          Federation of Lake Associations. It involves routine water quality
          sampling of lakes to build baseline data and to identify lake
          problems.   The Lake Classifications Inventory samples lakes and
          classifies them according to trophic status. The Adirondack Lake
          Survey Corporation monitors the changes in pH and productivity
          brought about by acid precipitation.

               There are several planning programs that deal with water
          quality in specific regions.     These programs will identify the
          water quality impacts of all sources, both point and nonpoint       *
          The National Estuary Programs for Long Island Sound and the New
          York-New Jersey Harbor are efforts initiated to meet requirements
          of the Federal Clean Water Act. The Great Lakes basin is another
          area which is being studied intensively.     Remedial Action Plans
          (RAPs) are being developed for areas of concern within the basin.
          These plans will identify measures to control existing sources and
          may recommend treatment measures. In addition to the RAPs, toxic
          management plans are being developed for Lake Ontario and the
          Niagara River.     A phosphorus reduction strategy is another
          initiative in the Great Lakes basin. This strategy was developed
          to meet target phosphorus loads established for Lakes Erie and
          Ontario by 1990.

               some of the regulatory programs identified in the Assessment
          Report are designed to protect resources without regard to a
          particular category of nonpoint source. Several of these programs
          deal directly with water quality while others regulate land usage
          in a manner which will, have water quality benefits. The programs
          that address water quality directly will be listed first.

               The Stream Reclassification Program of the Division of Water
          is updating water use classifications for waterbodies across the
          state. The Shellfish Land Certification Program classifies waters

                                          IV-8







            as to whether they are certified for harvesting shellfish.          The
            Division of Marine Resources administers this program.        The   PYS
            Department of Health's Public Water Supply Program is responsible
            for the safety of public drinking water supplies. in assuring the
            delivery of potable water, they are concerned about any activities
            within a watershed that could adversely' affect drinking water
            quality. In cases where watershed rules and regulations have been
            adopted, DOH has regulatory controls over activities within the
            watershed.

                  There are several general regulatory programs which focus on
            land usage. Most of these have limited geographic applicability.
            The one program which applies statewide is the SEQR process. it
            is part of both regulatory and planning processes. It ensures that
            all   state and local      government agencies will       assess the
            environmental impacts of any action that they take or approve.

                  The other programs apply to specific geographic areas. The
            Adirondack Park Agency (APA) has a variety of programs which
            regulate land usage within the Adirondack Park.           One of the
            programs administered by the APA in the Park is the Wild and Scenic
            Rivers Program. This program protects outstanding rivers and their
            corridors by activities that would have an adverse impact on the
            river.    DEC administers the programs along designated rivers
            outside the Adirondack Park. The Delaware River Basin Commission
            and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission have regulatory
            authority in the area of water resources management within the
            entire river drainage areas.

                  Another program which uses the regulatory approach and
            addresses all nonpoint sources in certain areas is the NYS
            Department of State's Coastal Management Program.          Within the
            coastal area boundary, including the marine district, the Hudson
            River and the Great Lakes, local government's waterfront
            revitalization programs regulate land, usage and require tMPs to
            mitigate nonpoint source problems. However, the local government
            must have an approved program before this authority can be used to
            regulate land usage.

                  There are other programs which address a number of nonpoint
            sources and use a variety of control options.         The Clean Lakes
            Program is administered by the Division of Water.         It includes
            planning, education, technical and financial assistance for both
            remedial and preventive programs around a lake.             The Water
            Resources Institute at Cornell University uses planning, education
            and technology transfer to address the full range of nonpoint
            sources.

                  Soil and Water Conservation Districts focus     on a variety of
            nonpoint source categories. The,program in each county is adapted
            to meet local needs.      While agriculture is the primary source
            addressed in most counties, all districts deal with other sources

                                             IV-9








           as well. Thirty-four districts are now involved in urban erosion
           and sediment control. In response to a particular need in their
           counties, many districts have developed programs to deal with
           specific nonpoint sources.     Examples of source programs include
           stream corridor management (Rensselaer County), stormwater
           management (Westchester County), and on-site sewage disposal
           (Delaware County).

                The Nonpoint Source Water, Pollution Control             Program,
           established by Chapter 436 of New York State Laws of 1989 (see
           Appendix C) includes planning activities and financial incentives.
           DEC is required to identify waterbodies affected by nonpoint source
           pollution and list the categories of sources that are causing the
           most problems.   This inventory must be updated at least every 5
           years. The law also includes provisions for a cost-sharing program
           to.address problems caused by non-agricultural nonpoint sources.
           A separate cost-sharing program, administered by the State Soil and
           Water Conservation Committee, is available for agricultural
           sources.   The law also amends the'Soil. and Water Conservation
           District Law to include the control and abatement of nonpoint
           sources of pollution in the District's responsibilities.

                c. Additional Program Needs

                Some of the activities that will be required to address
           nonpoint source pollution in New York do not apply to any. one
           source category. These activities are related to program planning
           and oversight. They include assessing the condition of the water
           resource and problems affecting the resource, providing overall
           program direction and oversight, and developing programs for the
           general Protection of the resource.

           Recommendations Using Existing Authority

                1.    The assessment of waterbodies and groundwater affected
                      by   nonpoint   source    pollution   must    be    updated
                      periodically.   An initial update of the assessment of
                      surface waterbodies is being conducted using the
                      procedure described in Chapter II. Recommendations for
                      updating the groundwater inventory are also       given in
                      Chapter II.

                2.    Using information obtained from the updated assessments,
                      corrective plans should be developed for watersheds with
                      significant problems.    These plans should consider the
                      effects of all sources (including point sources) present
                      within the watershed. The plans should include all steps
                      needed in the analysis of a watershed.       The analysis
                      begins with monitoring to confirm problem sources and
                      ends with documenting improved water quality from
                      implementation of control practices.        The watershed
                      planning process   is described in Chapter V of this

                                           IV-10








                       report. A document which details the process described
                       in Chapter V is needed to guide agencies through the
                       process.   One caveat to be observed in identifying
                       watersheds for planning is that some waters 'are adversely
                       affected by sources well beyond their drainage boundaries
                       (such as those affected by atmospheric deposition).

                 3.    The standard methodology for watershed planning and
                       analysis described above should be tested through a
                       research/demonstration project on a waterbody impaired
                       by nonpoint sources.

                 4.    The principal   method *for preventing or remediating
                       nonpoint source pollution is employing "best management
                       practices."   A list of approved management practices
                       should be established and distributed using the procedure
                       described in Chapter IV of the Assessment Report.         A
                       catalogue of approved management practices will be
                       prepared for each significant nonpoint source category.
                       IlBest" management practices will be selected from this
                       approved listing as part. of the watershed. planning
                       process described in Chapter V of this report.

                 5.    The state cost-sharing program established in     the 1989
                       nonpoint source water pollution control law would provide
                       financial assistance for the implementation of best
                       management practices  'to control nonpoint sources where
                       they are causing water quality problems. The law gives
                       DEC and the State Soil and Water.Consetvation Committee
                       the authority to promulgate regulations to implement this
                       program. These regulations should be developed.

                 6.    Increased educational efforts are needed to make the
                       public aware of the impacts on water quality caused by
                       various nonpoint sources. Both general initiatives and
                       targeted programs are required. The general initiatives   *
                       will be designed to make the public aware of the extent
                       of problems caused by nonpoint sources.          For some
                       sources, specific groups such as local government
                       officials will be the primary audience. More details on
                       these situations will be discussed in the sections which
                       concentrate on the specific source categories.

                       There are several agencies who should have an active role
                       in these efforts.         DEC should provide overall
                       coordination for the program to assure that efforts are
                       consistent with the management program. An entity with
                       expertise in community outreach activities such as the
                       Cornell Cooperative Extension System and the New York
                       State Water Resources Institute might handle the
                       development and implementation of the program.

                 7.   A targeted education initiative aimed at local official  S
                      is needed to make them aware of the role of local
                      government in protecting and preserving water resources
                      and the control options available to them. Water quality
                      management principles should be factored into local
                      zoning, land use and site plan review decisions.
                      Consideration. should be given to using watershed rules
                      and regulations to protect critical watersheds. A manual
                      that outlines the control options and explains how they
                      can be incorporated in local planning effort's is needed.

                 8.   Another educational program need is an information
                      clearinghouse. This clearinghouse would collect reports
                      on   nonpoint   source   research,    demonstration     and
                      implementation projects around the state.              The
                      information would then be readily available to people in
                      a position to use it. The Water Resource Institute might
                      be the best agency to implement this recommendation.

                 9.   There are a number of existing programs administered by
                      federal, state and local agencies which provide the basis
                      for any efforts to control nonpoint source pollution.
                      DEC should provide overall program oversight and
                      coordination for the nonpoint source program through the
                      establishment of defined coordination links with key
                      agencies.       Where    appropriate,    Memorandums     of
                      Understanding between DEC and other agencies should be
                      developed to, coordinate water      quality improvement
                      efforts. The MOUs will help set direction for targeting
                      of cost-sharing funds as well as technical assistance,
                      technology transfer and educational efforts to solve
                      documented water quality problems.

                 10.  As stated in the January, 1989 Water Resources Managenent
                      Strategy, water supply sources should be protected
                      through watershed rules and regulations.

                 11.  A technology transfer program should be developed to
                      provide, where needed, water quality training to staff
                      of county agencies that are involved in the control of
                      nonpoint source pollution.

                 12.  A planning effort is needed to develop a procedure for
                      counties to use in preparing a county water quality
                      strategy. A list of the agencies and groups that might
                      be involved in preparing the strategy and a list of
                      factors to be considered in establishing county
                      priorities among identified waterbodies should be
                      included in this guidance.

            2.    Agriculture


                  a. Assessment of Source

                  Nearly . one-third of New York's land area is devoted to
            agriculture with approximately 5.8 million acres used as cropland.
            The extent and.intensity of this major land use leads to concern
            about agriculture's contribution to, nonpoint source pollution.
            Agricultural operations and land resources are highly visible.
            Agricultural activities often include soil disturbance in
            preparation for planting, fertilizer and pesticide applications,
            concentrated animal populations and animal waste storage and
            disposal.
                   Water quality problems generally arise when improper
            management and/or inappropriate land uses are part of the
            agricultural operation.     Inthese instances sediment, nutrients,
            and pathogens as well as organic and inorganic materials may
            migrate from the farm into surface and ground waters where they may
            have an adverse impact.         Agricultural nonpoint sources are
            generally associated with the detachment and subsequent movement
            of soil particles by water or wind or the direct transport of
            dissolved agricultural pesticides and nutrients by runoff to
            surface waters or infiltration to groundwater..               Therefore,
            agricultural nonpoint sources are generally associated with
            hydrologic events, rainfall and/or snowmelt, or heavy wind
            conditions.

                  Agricultural nonpoint source pollutants include soil erosion,
            nutrients, pathogens and oxygen demanding substances.          Areas of
            animal concentrations including overgrazed areas can contribute
            nutrients, organic matter, ammonia and pathogens.           Removal of
            riparian vegetation and unrestricted livestock access        to streams
            can result in increased streambank erosion as well as increases in
            stream water temperature which adversely affects fish survival and
            propagation.

                  It is difficult to estimate the extent to which New York
            agriculture or other nonpoint sources causes impairment of the
            state's waters because a consistent statewide evaluation has never
            been ilone.   However, there appears to be potential for adverse
            impacts on water quality from agriculture since it involves the use
            of so much land. There are known waterbody impairments resulting
            from agricultural activities and numerous research studies link
            agricultural land use to increased levels of some contaminants.

                  The Nonpoint Source Assessment Report indicates that, in New
            York, lakes. and impoundments are more likely affected by
            agricultural nonpoint sources than streams or rivers.           This is
            logical since these waterbodies are often the depositories for the
            sediment, nutrients, organic matter and chemicals lost from
            agricultural land.       Furthermore, lakes and impoundments more



                                             IV-1 3








          readily manifest the consequences of these. contaminants, regardless
          of the source.

                The PWP includes 22 segments across the state where
          agriculture is   the primary source of impairment. The Assessment
          Report listed   31 segments with perceived agricultural nonpoint
          source impacts from the 10 counties included in the pilot
          assessment conducted by the NYS Department of Environmental
          Conservation and the NYS Soil & Water Conservation Committee. The
          latter number would indicate that the number of segments perceived
          to be affected by agricultural sources will increase as the
          assessment is updated.

                b. Current Program to Control Source

                Techni cally, there are few existing agricultural programs
          which directly focus on the control of nonpoint sources of
          pollution. There are a variety of programs administered by several
          local, state and federal agencies whose objective is to conserve
          and manage the soil and water resources.         In many cases these
          programs do have a secondary benefit of improved water quality
          because of the nature of agricultural NPS contamination. Programs
          currently available include financial incentives, technical
          assistance, technology transfer and education. These programs are
          administered by:

          Federal:

            Local:

                       County Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCD)
                       County programs of the Cornell Cooperative Extension
                       System (CCES)

                       County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation
                       Committees

                  The programs offered by these agencies generally operate on
            a voluntary basis. Although staff may perform outreach activities
            to encourage- participation, it is the individual farmer's decision
            whether or not to participate.

                  Federal initiatives  to control agricultural nonpoint sources
            of pollution are primarily financial incentives.              USDA-ASCS
            administers the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP).             The
            program helps solve soil and water resource problems. through
            cost-share assistance.     Included in the ACP is a national water
            quality special project program.      Through this special program,
            local ASCS Committees are encouraged to prepare requests for
            additional financial and technical assistance to carry out programs
            to improve water quality in identified problem areas.

                  The USDA-SCS includes land treatment alternatives        in P. L.
            83-5661 the Small Watershed Protection Act, to provide for
            increased technical and financial assistance to farmers within
            watersheds with identified agricultural ly-related water quality
            problems.                                                         I

                  USDA's Chesapeake Bay program operates through increased
            technical-and financial assistance and increased public      awareness.
            Most of these efforts focus on agricultural activities      and can be
            used in the Susquehanna and Chemung Basins of New York.

                  Other federal initiatives which are not targeted      toward but
            which have side benefits of improved water quality focus on
            conservation of the soil resource base through technical and
            financial assistance for soil conservation management practices.
            The framework of this program is the Agricultural Conservation
            Program (ACP) administered by     the ASCS which provides financial
            assistance and the Conservation   operations program of the SCS which
            provides technical assistance     to plan and install the necessary
            control measures. This work is    done in conjunction with local Soil
            and Water Conservation Districts.

                  Taking direction from the Resources Conservation Act (P.L.
            95-192), SCS has identified protection of the quality of ground and
            surface water from nonpoint sources as the agency's second
            priority.    The first priority is to reduce the damage caused by

                                             IV-15









           excessive soil erosion of rural lands.        As a re  sult of these
           priorities, SCS has adopted a water quality policy which states,
           "The Soil Conservation Service will integrate water quality
           concepts,    considerations,    and   management *techniques       into
           appropriate  programs."   Furthermore, SCS has developed an action
           plan. which integrates water quality into the Conservation
           Operations Program. This includes providing the information, tools
           and training required by SCS field personnel to implement this
           policy.

                Congress introduced the concept of "conservation compliance"
           to the USDA through the Food Security Act of 1985.           This Act
           contains provisions that link eligibility for most USDA
           agricultural program benefits and commodity payments to proper land
           management. This voluntary program requires fa   rmers to reduce soil
           erosion to an acceptable level in order to remain eligible for most
           USDA program benefits. The primary provisions, called "sod-buster"
           and "swamp-buster", discourage the conversionof highly erodible
           lands and wetlands to cropland.      Although the focus of the Food
           Security Act is not NPS reduction,, the soil erosion control
           provision can provide water quality benefits.

                The Food Security Act of 1985 also established the
           Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to reduce the amount of highly
           erodible land already in production. The CRP allows a farmer to
           enter into a contract with USDA to establish permanent vegetative
           cover on highly erodible cropland currently under cultivation. In
           return for the loss of the land's crop production, the farmer
           receives rental payments from USDA.       The CRP has recently been
           amended to allow farmers to install vegetated buffer strips of land
           along streams under the program. These replace vegetative cover
           on streambanks, thereby reducing the delivery of NPS contaminants
           in runoff to the stream. In 1988, CRP was amended again to allow
           farmers to enter "scour erosion" and wetland areas into the
           program.     Scour erosion areas are cropland areas within a
           floodplain which are regularly eroded by flood waters. Wetlands
           must have previously been under cultivation.

                State programs for the control of agricultural           NPS are
           predominantly technology transfer programs, with the exception of
           the Pesticide Management Program administered by DEC. Under this
           program, DEC registers pesticides, certifies applicators, and
           conducts inspections of pesticide applications. Authority for the
           Pesticide Management Program is contained in the Environmental
           Conservation Law.

                Many technology transfer programs identified in the Assessment
           Report are administered by DEC. Programs such at the Great Lakes
           Phosphorus Reduction Plan, the Stream Corridor Management Program
           and the Stream Habitat Improvement Program all attempt to convince
           farmers to modify their practice in a manner that will reduce


                                           IV-16







           nonpoint source pollution.      Many of the programs are locally
           sponsored by Soil and Water   Conservation Districts. The
           groundwater program uses the planning option in studying the
           effects of pesticides and fertilizers on groundwater.

                 Chapter 436 of the New York State Laws of 1989 (see Appendix
           C) amends soil and water conservation districts law to include the
           improvement of water quality and the control of nonpoint sources
           of water pollution in the areas of concern for districts. The law
           establishes a matching grant program to implement agricultural
           nonpoint source abatement and control projects. . The grant program
           will be administered by the State Soil and Water Conservation
           Committee.     Projects must be located in the watershed of
           waterbodies identified by DEC as being affected by nonpoint source
           pollution.

                 The Water Resources. Institute at Cornell University operates
           state and federally funded programs using education and technology
           transfer options. The Institute has conducted a grants program,
           primarily within Cornell and Cornell Cooperative Extension, to fund
           water quality research and demonstration projects, including public
           education programs.    They also have sponsored conferences, short
           courses and workshops on water quality management. The Institute
           has also frequently served as a vehicle for catalyzing Cornell
           University faculty     involvement in research, education, and
           technology.transfer related to New York's water problems.

                 The Cornell Cooperative Extension Systenand County Soil and
           Water Conservation Districts also play a key role in nonpoint
           source water quality management.      Both are administered at the
           state level -- by Cornell and the New York Sta     'te Soil and Water
           Conservation Committees, respectively -- but are implemented at the
           county level. Both have extensive program delivery networks and
           use technology transfer and direct technical assistance as the
           primary control options.

                 One of the key technology transfer programs of the Cooperative
           Extension is to disseminate the principles of integrated pest
           management (IPM). The goal of IPM is to achieve acceptable pest
           control with a minimal use of chemical pesticides.

                 The Cooperative Extension also sponsors educational programs
           while the Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) administer
           some financial incentive programs.      The SWCDs also administer a
           provision of the New York Soil and Water Conservation District Law
           that requires farms 25 acres or larger to have a conservation Plan
           which includes management practices to reduce soil erosion.
           Implementation of the plan,however, is purely voluntary.

                 All these programs have benefited water quality, although
           there is no way to accurately measure how much. An estimated 90%
           of New York farms have conservation plans, but a much lower

                                           IV-17







            percentage are carrying out management practices.            The Food
            Security Act of 1985 will encourage farmers to implement management
            practices on cropland. Through September 1989, a total of 50,500
            acres of highly erodible cropland has been placed under contract
            through the conservation reserve program in New York.

                 c. Additional Program Needs

                 Present federal and state programs to control nonpoint source
            pollution from agricultural sources utilize both technical
            assistance   and   financial    incentives.       The   programs     are
            predominately voluntary. Technical assistance is available through
            SCS and Soil and Water Conservation Districts to all land users to
            help. resolve natural resource problems. . Recent SCS policy directs
            consideration of water quality concerns in this program. Financial
            assistance is available to all land users through a variety of
            programs administered by-ASCS, FmHA and SCS. The Food Security Act
            of 1985, however, introduced the "conservation compliance"
            provision which links eligibility for USDA program benefits and
            commodity programs to proper land management. The program is still
            voluntary since the farmer may choose to not receive government
            assistance.

                 Most current federal technical and financial programs do not
            focus on water quality.     They are available to all agricultural
            operators regardless of their proximity to water quality problem
            areas.   There are two federal programs which do target problem
            areas: the ASCS national water quality special projects and the SCS
            land treatment watershed projects described earlier in this
            chapter..    Limited federal funding, however, restricts the
            widespread use of these programs.

                 It is unlikely that present programs by themselves will be
            effective in successfully implementing management practices to
            control agricultural nonpoint sources.         Other control options
            including some which may require new authority are needed.

            Recommendations Using Existing Authority

                 1.    At the state level, p 1 anning' programs should investigate
                       mechanisms to minimize the impact of agriculture on water
                       quality.   The planning efforts should concentrate on
                       source subcategories which have been identified as
                       causing significant problems. Development.of management
                       practices and investigation of other control options to
                       address these subcategories should receive priority.

                 2.    Research projects are needed to examine commonly used
                       soil and water conservation practices.         The studies
                       should consider the, effect of the practices on all
                       aspects of nonpoint source pollution including the
                       movement of contaminants into groundwater and surface

                                             IV-18








                      waters and the effects of such practices on groundwater
                      quality.
                3.    The feasibility of low-input or low-intensity agriculture
                      should also be investigated through research and
                      demonstration projects. Low-input agriculture consists
                      of minimal fertilizer input, optimal crop rotations,
                      grasslands management . and extensive use of Integrated
                      Pest Management.

                4.    Another state level research effort needed is to study
                      the long-term water quality benefits of land remaining
                      in agricultural use instead of being developed.
                      Realistic   approaches    for   agricultural    land    use
                      preservation should be recommended if it is     determined
                      to be desirable.

                5.    Farm .level planning should consist of comprehensive
                      agricultural. operation plans that address both  macro and
                      micro water quality concerns. The plans must go beyond
                      soil erosion practices and identify management   practices
                      that control the availability and transport of   sediment,
                      nutrients and agricultural chemicals. Commonly   used soil
                      erosion management practices must be examined for their
                      effect on all aspects of nonpoint source         pollution
                      including the movement of contaminants into groundwater.
                      Existing laws can be used to encourage the integration
                      of water quality concerns into farm conservation plans
                      prepared for all agricultural operations in excess of 2.5
                      acres.


                6.    Memorandums  of understanding between DEC and federal
                      agencies that administer financial incentive programs
                      should be developed.    These MOUs should require that
                      water quality problems be considered in selection . of
                      projects to receive money.

                7.    Existing programs which provide technical assistance to
                      farmers for addressing water quality problems should be
                      expanded.    Additional field personnel, trained to
                      integrate water quality concepts in the application of
                      management practices, are needed. The expertise required
                      to go through the watershed planning process will have
                      to be developed at the local level.

                8.    More technology transfer and education programs are
                      needed to address management of animal waste related to
                      the dairy industry. A considerable body of knowledge has
                      been accumulated at Cornell University through recent
                      research projects, but needs to be disseminated to
                      farmers for practical application. Management practices
                      available include manure spreading schedules, barnyard
                      runoff controls,, manure/ tillage systems and others.

                                           IV-19









                9.    Educational programs to make farmers and landusers aware
                      of water quality problems which can result from improper
                      land management are needed.      The goal should be to
                      increase   the   awareness   of   the    plant/soil/water
                      relationships which control   the driving mechanism for
                      nonpoint source pollution.

           Recommendations Which Will Recruire New  Authority

                10.   State level use of the concept of cross-compliance should
                      be investigated, including the feasibility of utilizing
                      the Agricultural Districts Law, the Agricultural
                      Assessment Law and the Farm Planning Law. Eligibility for
                      property tax relief could be tied to implementation of
                      the farm plan. Eligibility for cost-share assistance
                      and/or income tax credits could also be used to encourage
                      compliance.

                11.   Alternatives to voluntary participation in conservation
                      programs should be explored. Some form of regulation,
                      incentives or disincentives can be used to encourage
                      identified polluters to install necessary practices.
                      While cost-sharing and technical assist.ance would be
                      available to implement farm plans on farms that are
                      identified as polluters, a system must be in place    . to
                      assure that the plan is followed. Incentives in the form
                      of tax deductions or credits. should be considered to
                      encourage farmers to implement their farm plans.
                      Penalties in the form of fines could also be considered.

                12.   It has been reported that the Federal Farm Bill will be
                      amended in 1990. The new bill should include an emphasis
                      on water quality concerns.

           3.   Atmospheric Deposition


                a. Assessment of Source

                Atmospheric deposition is recognized as a major nonpoint
           source of pollution.    Acid rain is the most well known form of
           atmospheric deposition, but there are other aspects of the problem
           that are equally damaging. Deposition occurs during all forms of
           precipitation and even occurs as dustfall on sunny days.
           Pollutants released to the air will eventually fall back to earth.
           The pollutants are deposited an the landscape and then carried to
           waterbodies during runoff events.

                The Handbook of Nonpoint Pollution, by Vladimir Novotny    . and
           Gordon Chesters, categorizes.the sources of atmospheric pollution
           as point source (i    'ndustrial and power plant stacks), diffuse
           sources (urban are  as, landfills, agricultural fields), and line

                                           IV-20







          sources (highways).    Generally, the magnitude of deposition is
          directly proportional to the distance from the source.          For
          example, lead deposits from auto exhaust are almost all deposited
          within several hundred feet of the-highway. However, the practice
          of building taller stacks has caused the effects of point sources
          to be spread through a broader area.

               Precipitation causes gases, aerosols and large particles to
          be removed from the atmosphere and deposited on the surface.
          Pollutants contained in precipitation may include acidity, toxic
          materials, organic chemicals, phosphates and nitrogen compounds.
          Dry fallout is of significance only during times between
          precipitation 'events, but in some cases the overall,loadings have
          been found to be on the same order of magnitude as wet fallout.*

               b. Current Programs to Control Source

               The problem of acid rain largely originates from pollutants
          emitted into the air when fossil fuel is burned.        The primary
          pollutants are sulfur oxides which combine with water to form
          sulfuric acid, and nitrogen oxides which combine with water to form
          nitric acid. The oxidation reaction is aided by metallic catalysts
          such as iron and manganese oxides which are commonly present in the
          fly ash emitted during the burning process. Acid rain results in
          lower pH and higher levels of aluminum in surface waterbodies. The
          aluminum is leached from soil and sediments by low pH water. The
          higher aluminum levels cause fish to produce excess mucus which
          clogs their gills and causes their death.

               The entire ecosystem can be affected by acid rain.         The
          sensitiv,ity to acidic conditions varies among different animals
          and plants. In the most severe cases mortality and reproductive
          failure among certain fish are experienced. Impacts May be in the
          form of reduced food supply or death of newly hatched fry, the
          stage most sensitive for fish species.

               Acid rain has been listed as the primary source of impairment
          on 398 waterbodies within the Black, St. Lawrence, Lake Champlain,
          Upper Hudson and Mohawk basins. Recent information indicates that
          waterbodies within the Catskill Park and in higher elevations in
          southeastern New York are also affected by acid rain.

               Atmospheric deposition has been shown to be a      significant
          source of pollutants in urban, areas as well.       It  contributes
          pollutants to many of the 70 segments on the PWP list   that are
          impaired due to urban runoff.    NURP studies indicate that urban
          runoff problems are probably more widespread than the   PWP list


               Novotny, V. and G. Chesters, Handbook of Nonpoint Pollution,
               1981, p. 137.

           indicates. They also suggest that atmospheric deposition is a
           major pollutant source in urban areas.

                 There are several programs presently operating in New York
           which address atmospheric deposition.       All operate at the state
           level.   However, to achieve long-term success, stronger federal
           programs will be required, not only for acid rain but for other
           forms of atmospheric deposition as well.

                 The most direct control program to address acid rain is the
           Acid Deposition Control Program operated by the Division of Air' in
           DEC.   It is a regulatory program designed to reduce the state's
           contribution to acidic deposition. The program issues permits for
           discharges and requ  ires the use of sulfur content conforming fuel.

                 The Division of Water has two      programs which address acid
           precipitation. The Acid Rain program is a planning effort which
           monitors the water chemistry of four Adirondack lakes. The Clean
           Lakes program is a state and local program funded by the federal
           government.   The program offers educational, planning, technical
           and financial assistance to correct problems in freshwater lakes.
           While acid precipitation is one of the sources addressed, it is
           not the primary focus of this program.

                 Another planning program involves a corporation in which DEC
           is a major participant. A comprehensive survey of the impact of
           acid rain on New York's surface waters was conducted by the
           Adirondack Lakes Survey Corporation between 1984 and 1987. This
           Not-for-Profit Corporation was established in 1983 under the
           sponsorship of DEC and the Empire State Electric Energy Research
           Corporation.

                 DEC Is Division of Fish and Wildlife operates a lake. liming
           program on selected lakes in the Adirondacks. This program employs
           direct government action and is considered a management tool to
           help restore and protect valuable resources.              There are 32
           waterbodies presently included in the program. Other waterbodies
           may be viable candidates, but the program cannot be considered as
           a solution to the problem for the entire state.

                 DEC has several programs which address atmospheric deposition
           by controlling substances released to the air. The Division of Air
           has regulatory control over point sources of air contamination in
           New York. The program, authorized'under Title 3       of Section 19 of
           ECL, requires permits from all sources except          f or 25 types of
           contamination sources listed in the regulations.       These 25 sources
           are exempt due to size or type of discharge.

                 Under this program, a permit to construct -is    needed before an
           air contamination source can be built. Information on the type,
           rate and. quantity of emission, as well as plans, specifications and
           operational information about the source must be provided.            The

                                             IV-22







           Division of Air reviews the application to determine whether the
           operation of the source will prevent the attainment or maintenance
           of applicable ambient air quality standards. Part 212 of 6-NYCRR
           establishes the degree of air cleaning required for emissions. The
           degree of cleaning required varies based on the emission. rate
           potential and the environmental rating of the pollutant.

                 A certification to operate an air contamination source is   also
           required. A stack test report can be mandated to assure that the
           actual performance conforms with the emission requirements.
           Failure to properly operate or maintain air cleaning equipment can
           result in revocation of the certificate to operate.

                 The * Division of Air also conducts routine air monitoring
           through its Ambient Air Monitoring System.       The air monitoring
           system is the basic measure of the effectiveness of the state's
           air pollution control program. The system is designed to measure
           compliance with ambient air quality standards and provide long-term
           air quality trend data.     The Bureau of Air, Quality Surveillance
           prepares an annual report which  provides.data summaries of most air"
           pollutants @ for which ambient air quality standards have been
           established.     These include sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide,
           nitrogen dioxide, ozone, total suspended particulates, inhalable
           particulates and lead.

                 The Air Monitoring Network includes several special segments.
           The Atmospheric Deposition Monitoring Network is a special network
           of 17 stations used to obtain information on acidic precipitation
           in New York.    An Air Toxics Monitoring Network is also in the
           initial phase of deployment across the state. Stations exist in
           Staten Island and on the Niagara Frontier. Ultimately, the network
           will consist of 20 stations.

                 The Waste Management Institute at Cornell University conducts
           research programs related to solid waste management. One aspect
           of solid waste management being studied is combustion-based
           technology.    Emission characteristic's and the control of toxics
           from incinerators are among the items being researched.

                 Existing programs have begun to docum    ent the problem and
           explore control options. It will not be possible to control this
           source b@ New York State efforts alone.        Federal programs are
           required to control the sulfur and nitrogen emissions which
           originate out of state.

                 C. Additional Program Needs

                 As stated abovef a long-term solution to this problem will
           require Federal regulatory programs. New York has no control of
           sources outside the state and can only deal with the effects.
           However, documentation of the effects atmospheric deposition has


                                           IV-23








           on waterbodies is needed to help convince federal officials that
           regulatory actions are needed.
           Recommendations Using Existing Authority

                1 .   Long-term monitoring and assessment of waters to document
                      the impacts of atmospheric deposition is- needed.
                      Numerous models have been developed to demonstrate the
                      impacts of this,source but monitoring data is needed to
                      determine the validity of the models.

                2.    Research and demonstration projects should be conducted
                      to explore possible mitigation measures for waterbodies
                      affected by acid rain.         Projects should include

                4.    Federal legislation which provides additional regulatory
                      controls   over  precursors    is  required    to   control
                      out-of-state sources.


           -4.  construction


                a. Assessment of,Source


                Construction shares the characteristic with most other
           nonpoint sources of generating pollutants during runoff and. wind
           events.   It also is a transitional land use, disturbing the'land
           surface and creating a vulnerability to erosion and the production
           of sediment for a period of.time. This discussion will be limited
           to the immediate impacts of construction activities. The long-term
           effects on stormwater runoff by the building, road, parking lot,
           etc. , constructed will be addressed in the section on urban runoff.

                Soil erosion from sites disturbed by construction activities
           can have a serious impact on water quality.       Studies have shown
           that rates of erosion from construction sites are among the highest
           of any source category.    During transport, sediment can increase
           turbidity in waterbodies, affecting aquatic life through abrasion
           and.reduced light penetration.      Water supply uses can also be
           affected through increased treatment costs.          As a result of
           sediment deposition, aquatic habitats can be blanketed, capacities
           of hydraulic structures decreased, and navigational uses affected.

                The pollutants associated with the construction category
           include the soil particles and the substances attached to the
           individual particles. Nutrients and toxic substances attached to

                                           IV-24








            sediments can-become dissolved in the water column and enter the
            aquatic food chain, leading to problems other than those caused by
            the sediment. A nutrient source associated with construction may
            be over- f ertil izat ion in an attempt to establish grass on disturbed
            areas. Poor housekeeping and spills around construction sites can
            lead to toxics entering the water.

                 Construction is noted on the priority water problem list as
            a secondary source for five segments. From the pilot assessment
            surveys and USDA-SCS lists, construction is the primary source for
            three segments and a less significant source for 21 others.
            Streams and lakes affected are about equal in number. While the
            affected water bodies were distributed around the state, Albany and
            Rensselaer counties have higher proportionate numbers. This may
            result from the level of land development activity in those
            counties compared to other counties surveyed in the pilot
            assessment program.

                 b. Current Programs to Control Source

                 There are a number of existing programs which assist in the
            control.of nonpoint source pollution from construction. Programs
            exist at all levels of government but the primary activities are
            at the state and local levels.      Most of the programs use either
            the regulatory approach or technology transfer.

                 At the federal level, there are several programs which deal
                 construction. Section 404 of the     Clean Water Act authorizes
            the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to issue dredge and fill permits
            for activities which affect- navigable waters.         A state water
            quality certification as specified in section 401 is needed before
            the permit can be issued. The Water Quality Act of 1987 requires
            states to phase in a program to regulate stormwater discharges from
            certain size municipalities and from industrial activities.
            Construction is listed as one of the regulated industrial
            activities. EPA is developing regulations to implement this permit
            program. Based on the provisions of the law, construction projects
            are to be permitted by February 1991.

                 The   Conservation    operations    Program    in   USDA's     Soil
            Conservation Service (SCS) assists landowners and other units of
            government through -technical assistance.           The Conservation
            Technical Assistance (CTA) program is delivered through local
            conservation districts.     The SCS CTA, program was authorized to
            control or prevent soil erosion and for the preservation of natural
            resources. , Another technical assistance' effort in which SCS has
            a significant role involves erosion and sediment control
            guidelines.

                 These guidelines were prepared by a committee of federal and
            state, agencies and private organizations.           SCS chaired the
            development committee.       The guidelines contain a set of 38

                                             IV-25








           standards and specifications for vegetative and structural
           management practices to control off-site sediment damage from
           construction activities.  '    They were compiled into a handbook
           entitled, "New York Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment
           Control".     The Empire State Chapter of the Soil and Water
           Conservation Society published this handbook and is responsible
           for distribution.. The book is distributed both directly through
           Society members and by county Soil and Water Conservation
           Districts.'

              I  In conjunction with distribution, many Districts have
           sponsored public training sessions to educate contractors,
           engineers, and planning board members on the use of the "Guide".
           As of March 1989, the SCS State Conservation Engineer had provided
           or scheduled training sessions in over 30 counties. In addition,
           SCS provided training to the Land Improvement Contractors
           Association and to the New York Planning Federation.

                 State programs in the Department of Environmental Conservation
           tend to be targeted at protecting specific habitats or sensitive
           lands.   Freshwater Wetlands Protection, Stream Protection, Tidal
           Wetlands, and Wild and Scenic Rivers are all regulatory in nature
           and are limited in application to designated areas of concern.
           Permits are required for any construction activity which will
           affect one of the designated areas. Control measures such as silt
           barriers are required to prevent adverse impacts.

                 The SEQR process requires environmental impact reviews on all
           construction projects that could have a significant effect on the
           environment. Where the proposal is determined to have significant
           impacts, mitigative measures are proposed in the environmental
           impact statement. There is an opportunity to address the long-term
           runoff impacts of a project through the SEQR process, but that
           aspect will be addressed in the urban runoff section.

                 The Division of Wat  *er is preparing guidelines for Regional
           staff use in reviewing projects for erosion and sediment control.
           The guidance will be issued in 1990 as one of the Division's
           Technical and operational Guidance (TOGS) memos.         the TOGS will
           call for use of the Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment
           Control published by the NY Soil and Water Conservation Society.

                 The Department of State and the Department of Transportation
           have programs which address construction. The Coastal Management
           Program in the Department of State controls pollution from
           construction activities as part of the waterfront revitalization
           programs. The Department of Transportation employs source controls
           in its construction contracts by.requiring erosion and sediment
           controls. Since control requirements are part of the contracts,
           this program can be regarded as regulatory. The Adirondack Park
           Agency has several programs which regulate construction in the
           park.

                The only local programs identified in the Assessment Report
           are one unique to the  .New York City Reservoir watersheds and one
           which operates in -all counties outside of New York City. The City
           uses a regulatory approach to control construction runoff in its
           watersheds through SEQR reviews.        The other local programs
           identified involves technology transfer assistance provided to
           units of government and landowners by County Soil and Water
           Conservation Districts. A 1989 survey of areas of responsibility
           revealed that 54% of the districts are involved in the control of
           nonpoint source pollution from construction activities.

                Although not enumerated in the  Assessment Report, local land
           use regulation, primarily through site plan review, or through
           local erosion and sediment control ordinances, are other program
           means of addressing the nonpoint source aspects of construction.
           A survey conducted for the wellhead protection program indicated
           that a small percentage of communities across the state have
           sediment and erosion control programs. Most countiesTely on the
           Soil and Water Conservation Districts to address the problem.

                The effectiveness or degree of success of current programs is
           difficult to measure in terms of water quality improvement or
           protection for the sane reasons cited above in the discussion of
           identifying waterbodies affected by construction activities. Data
           on "with-control" and "without-control" comparisons are not
           available.

                In the 'terms of program coverage,.the various elements which
           are meant to protect specific critical resource areas can generally
           deal with erosion from within the area of concern. Protection fron
           sediment impacts.from upstream areas are only partially covered in
           most critical resource programs since the area covered usually
           includes only a limited buffer or transitional area, not the entire
           tributary upstream area. The municipal and county programs that
           regulate land usage and require permits prior to land development
           offer the best opportunity for comprehensive control of
           construction impacts.

                C.   Additional Program Needs

                The primary control options now used for construction
           activities are a combination of regulation and technology transfer.
           Continuing this approach with appropriate modification of existing
           programs and new initiatives is recommended.              Additional
           educational efforts to increase public awareness of water quality
           issues relating to construction are also needed.

                      should be expanded.        Soil and Water Conservation
                      Districts who. have not yet sponsored one of the SCS
                      training sessions on the guidelines should be encouraged
                      to do so.     This technology transfer effort provides
                      information to an important targeted audience.          Pther
                      groups such as local building inspectors should be
                      encouraged to participate in the training sessions-.

                 2.   A model erosion and sediment control ordinance should be
                      developed. This could include best management practices
                      (BMPs) and performance standards which can be used to
                      determine whether the BMPs used are effective. It should
                      also contain provisions for an.application fee system to
                      support the review. The actual ordinances should specify
                      a lead agency for performing reviews.       The lead agency
                      might be the county soil and water conservation district,
                      the local. building inspector's office or some other
                      agency.    In developing the model ordinance, existing
                      local laws should be reviewed and provisions which have
                      proven to be effective should be incorporated into the
                      model.

                 3.   The Department should develop guidance on erosion and
                      sediment control which could be used by interested
                      parties on the review of development plans.

                 4.   DEC should  implement the program to regulate stormwater
                      runoff from construction sites as required by ECL ï¿½17-
                      0808.    If final regulations permit, the review and
                      approval for individual projects should be handled by
                      municipalities.     Control over municipalities would be
                      exerted through the general permits issued for their
                      stormwater systems.

           Recommendations Which Will Reauire New Authority

                 5.   Legislation to create a statewide erosion and sediment
                      control program is needed.         The legislation should
                      require local or county governments to pass their own
                      ordinance which contains all the provisions specified in
                      the model ordinance.

                      The law could possibly include incentives/disincentives
                      to local governments who pass an ordinance (similar to
                      the flood insurance program where if a community does
                      not regulate land use in the flood plain, then they are
                      not eligible for flood insurance).           Tying this to
                      eligibility for any nonpoint source cost-sharing money
                      which might be available or the state revolving loan fund
                      could be explored.




                                            IV-28







                      There should be provisions in the  ,'law that if the local
                      government does not pass their own ordinance,- then the
                      state government will administer the program.        Again,
                      this is similar to the system used for the flood
                      insurance program.      The law could also require an
                      inspection of erosion and sediment control measures
                      installed.

                5.    Contaminated Sediment


                a. Assessment of    Source

                Fish consumption advisories and fishing bans frequently. result
           from contaminated sediment. It is a problem in.a number of major
           waterbodies across New  -York. The 1988 Priority Water Problem List
           report states that "at virtually any hydrological sink, lakes and
           the mouths of rivers to which toxics-bearing wastewater once
           discharged, toxic contaminated sediments remain."

                Bioaccumulation of toxic substances through the food chain is
           the cause of impairments that result from this source. Fish flesh
           data collected by DEC's Division of Fish and Wildlife have led the
           NYS Department of Health to issue consumption advisories an almost
           40 waterbodies.,    The advisories range from a complete ban on
           fishing to guidelines for frequency of consumption.
                The pollutants-associated with this source are a variety of
           toxic substances which accunulate in the sediment. Polychlorinated
           biphyenyls (PCBs) are the most common contaminant.        Other toxic
           chemicals, such as dioxin, DDT, mirex and mercury, are the
           contaminants in other segments affected by this source.

                Contaminated s*ediment is listed as the primary or secondary
           source of impairment in 37 waterbodies included on the PWP list.
           Many major waterbodies are affected by this source including the
           Hudson River, the Buffalo River, the Niagara River, Lake Champlain
           and Lake Ontario. The PWP report states that it is unlikely that
           all the waterbodies impacted by contaminated sediment have been
           identified.    It goes on to say that criteria do not exist upon
           which evaluations of the degree of toxicity or risk associated with
           contaminated sediment can be made.

                b. Current Programs to Control Source

                Most of the existing programs to address contaminated sediment
           that were identified in the Assessment Report are planning
           activities at the state level. There are at least two initiatives
           which are taking actions to address problems with contaminated
           sediments in specific waterbodies.

                The Division of Water has a research/demonstrat ion project
           underway for the dredging and encapsulation of PCB contaminated

                                           IV-29







          sediment from the Hudson River.      This project has two primary
          goals: (1) successful completion of the dredging project, (2)
          through the construction of a sediment containment facility,
          accommodate the removal and encapsulation of PCB contaminated
          materials from the river. This project is also exploring viable
          contaminant destruction technologies such as biodegradation and
          incineration. The other initiative is by the Division of Hazardous
          Waste Remediation. They are involved in a project dealing with the
          mercury contained in the bottom sediments of Onondaga Lake.

                EPA's Great Lakes National Program office isconducting a 5-
          year study and demonstration program on the best ways to remove
          toxic pollutants from bottom sediments. The purpose of the program
          is to develop guidance on dealing with contaminated sediment
          problems, not to clean up specific sites. 'The Buffalo River is one
          of five demonstration projects included in this program.           The
          projects include an assessment of the waterbody and sediments, a
          study of potential remedial technologies, and an evaluation of the
          environmental and economical effectiveness of the project.

                The Division of Water includes the analysis of sediment in
          many of its water quality monitoring programs.           One of the
          objectives of the Rotating Intensive Basin Studies (RIBS) program
          is to expand knowledge of water quality cause and effect
          relationships through actions such as assessing the bioavailability
          of in-place toxics.    The studies include-water column, sediment,
          macro invertebrate and fish monitoring.       Sediment samples are
          analyzed for heavy metals, organochlorine pesticides and PCBs. The
          Intensive Stream Survey program conducts detailed studies on
          selected waterbodies. to locate sources and model pollutant fate.

                The effect that contaminated sediment has on fish and wildlife
          is the most common cause of impairment in this category.           The
          Division of Fish and Wildlife collects contaminant data on various
          species.    This data is summarized in periodic reports entitled
          "Toxic Substances in Fish and Wildlife."

                Several other programs are listed which address this source
          primarily in a planning fashion.      The Great Lakes coordination
          effort will assess existing sources of pollution and develop
          Remedial Action Plans to address these sources.         The National
          Estuary Programs for Long Island Sound and for the New York - New
          Jersey Harbor both are designed to study the effects of various
          sources including contaminated sediment. The programs will also
          deal with remedial actions through education, research and
          technology transfer efforts.

                In the regulatory area, the State Pollutant Discharge
          Elimination System, administered by the Division of Water,
          regulates the discharge of toxics from point sources. This system
          should greatly reduce the chance of further contamination of



                                          IV-30







           sediment from point sources. The industrial pretreatment program
           also'helps limit the discharge of toxics.

                The NYSDOS Coastal Management Program is a multifaceted
           program with regulatory, educational and planning aspects'. Local
           government's waterfront revitalization programs can be used to
           address contaminated sediment problems.

                The 1988 Priority Water Problem List report identifies three
           concerns regarding programs to control contaminated sediment.. The
           first is that the location, extent and impact of problems caused
           by this source has probably not been adequately determined. The
           second concern is criteria do not exist to evaluate the degree of
           toxicity of sediment. Finally no practical means for management,
           treatment and removal of the sediment has been demonstrated.
           Consumption advisories and fishing bans remain the only management
           alternatives available to address this source.


                C. Additional Program Needs

                Continuation of present programs to determine the extent of
           the water quality problems caused by this source is recommended.
           However, until control technologies are ava'ilable to address
           existing contaminated sediments, little can be done to correct
           existing problems.   Programs should continue to prevent further
           contamination of sediments and criteria should be established on
           a nationwide basis as to when sediment contamination is a problem.

           Recommendations Using Existing Authority

                1.   DEC should encourage EPA to       develop  criteria for
                     evaluating the toxicity and      risk associated with
                     contaminated sediment to assure  nationwide uniformity.

                2.   DEC should encourage federal research on the impacts of
                     the removal of contaminated sediment including the
                     alternative of in-place mitigation measures.

                3.   The possibility of having, more waterbodies that have
                     contaminated sediments designated as state Superfund
                     sites should be explored  *  This would then provide a
                     ,funding mechanism for remediation of these problems.


                4.   A technology transfer effort is needed in the form of an
                     international   conference on all aspects        of the
                     contaminated sediment problem.

           Recommendations Which Will Require New Authority

                5.   Banning certain toxic substances and  the restriction of
                     discharges of other toxics are options which may be

                                         IV-31









                     considered.   While the SPDES program provides the
                     authority to control point source. discharges, it is more
                     difficult to regulate discharges from nonpoint sources.
                     Bans or use restrictions might be the most effective
                     means of control in this case.

               6.    The creation of.a new funding mechanism, similar to the
                     Superfund but dedicated exclusively to the remediation
                     of  contaminated    sediment    problems,    should    be
                     investigated.  This concept has been discussed in the
                     past and the concept has been called an Aquafund. All
                     cleanups would be preceded by detailed investigations.
                     Parties  responsible for the contamination would be
                     required to pay their share of cleanup costs.

          6.   Diffuse Urban  Runoff


               a. Assessment of Source

               Stormwater runoff from urban and suburban areas poses a
          serious threat to the water resources of New York State. In fact,
          there is evidence to indicate that developed area runof f may be as
          harmful 'to water quality as municipal or industrial waste
          discharges in some areas. The developed area runof f problem is not
          entirely limited to water quality.       Urbanization also has a
          profound   influence  upon the hydrologic      characteristics    of
          watersheds which may lead to problems ranging from flooding to
          reduction in stream base flow during periods of dry weather.

               There are a number of sources which make up the broad category
          of urban runoff. Some of these are considered point sources while
          others are nonpoint sources. Urban runoff often is a combination
          of the two.

               One way to categorize sources is that runoff is considered a
          nonpoint source until it gets into a collection system and then it
          becomes a point source. Another method to categorize sources is
          by how the source is addressed. A source such as storm sewers or
          combined sewer overflows (CSOs) which can be addressed through end-
          of-pipe controls such as permits are considered point sources.
          Sources from which runoff flows directly into a waterbody and is
          addressed through the application of BMPs are considered nonpoint
          sources.


               In reality, it is not feasible to entirely separate point
          sources from nonpoint sources in regard to urban runoff. Even when
          the runoff eventually reaches a collection system, and so could be
          considered a point source, the best treatment method will
          frequently be through the application of BMPs which abate the
          runoff and the pollutants it contains before         it reaches a
          collection system.


                                         IV-32







                  Rivers, streams, lakes, estuaries and coastal embayments can
            all be affected by pollutants that are commonly found in urban
            runoff. Pollutants vary in size, solubility and toxicity. Among
            the significant pollutants found in an urban setting are combustion
            products (such as nitrogen oxides and sulfides), deicing compou      *nds,
            heavy metals,     pathogens,    roadway construction asphalts and
            vehicular hydrocarbons and hydraulic fluids.           These pollutants
            accumulate rapidly on impervious surfaces and are      easily washed off
            during runoff events. Atmospheric deposition is        a major source of
            pollutants in an urban area.

                  No   single   factor   is   responsible    for   the   progressive.
            degradation of urban stream ecosystems.         Rather, it probably is
            the cumulative effect of many individual factors such as
            sedimentation, scouring, increased flooding, lower summer flows,
            higher water temperatures,.rechannelization and pollution.

                  Urbanization often will increase the peak flows in streams
            and reduce the tine it takes for the peak to occur. This will tend
            to increase flooding and result in scouring and sedimentation.
            Urban runoff can also alter the natural stream temperature regime.
            Factors which contribute to this increase in temperature include
            runoff passing over the heated urban landscape, fewer trees present
            to shade streams, and runoff stored in shallow ponds is heated
            between storms, then released in a rapid pulse.                The large
            percentage of impervious area associated with urbanization reduces
            infiltration, which can affect groundwater recharge and base flows,

                  Stormwater runof f f rom urban areas can , adversely impact . the
            fisheries.,'aesthetics and recreational use of lakes.         Lakes that
            serve as a water supply for municipal and domestic consumption can
            also be affected by urban stormwater runoff through increased
            treatment costs.      Of particular concern are nutrients, toxic
            materials and organic substances such as pesticides, heavy metals,
            pathogenic organisms, oxygen demanding substances and sediment
            which are picked up in urban stornwater and transported directly
            to lakes or streams flow into lakes. Marine waters are affected
            by toxic pollutants and pathogenic organisms, resulting in the
            closure of both shellfish harvest areas and beaches.

                  The Nonpoint Source Assessment Report identifies several
            locations in the state impacted by urban stormwater runoff.             Of
            the 70 segments identified on the PWP list as being impaired by
            urban runoff, 57 are in the Atlantic - Long Island Sound Basin.
            Many of the segments are bays in the heavily developed Sound.
            Runoff carrying coliform bacteria is reported as the primary cause
            of closures of numerous.shellfish beds in Suffolk County.

                  The three NURP studies undertaken in New York State suggest
            that urban runoff problems are more widespread than the PWP list
            indicates    These studies demonstrate that stormwater runoff from
            urban areas is responsible for significant pollutant loading fron

                                              IV-33









                 developing (and developed) are                      as in the state.                Vast expanses of
                 impervious surfaces in urbanizing areas have resulted in increased
                 runoff, increased water temperatures and lower base flows. These
                 factors have combined to degrade fisheries habitat in many of the
                 state's urban waterbodies.

                          b. Current Programs to Control Source

                          There are a number of existing programs which address urban
                 runoff. Some of the programs deal with the point source aspects
                 of urban runof f while others are concerned strictly with the
                 nonpoint source asp              .ects.

                          Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are permitted through the
                 State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) in conjunction
                 with municipal permits.                       There are 99 publicly owned treatment
                 works with CSOs in New York. The 1988 305(b) Report, prepared by
                 the Division of Water's Bureau of Monitoring and Assessment,
                 contains the following description of. CSOs.

                                   "Most of the Larger cities in New York and some of the smaller cities have
                                   combined sewer systems that collect sanitary sewage and stormwater in the
                                   same system of pipes. The treatment facilities and pumping stations that are
                                   part of these systems are usually designed to accommodate a certain maximum
                                   flow, which is normally two to three times the average dry weather flow.
                                   Therefore, during rainstorms and snow melts when that f Low is exceeded in the
                                   system, there will be untreated discharges (overflows) of a mixture of
                                   sanitary sewage and stormwater. This combined sewage which is not treated,
                                   contains bacteria, suspended solids, etc., and may also contain some untreated
                                   or pretreated industrial wastes. These discharges can and do have a severe
                                   impact on water quality, particularly near large urbanized areas such as New
                                   York City."

                          Storm sewers are a separate system for collecting or conveying
                 stormwater runoff.                 The discharges from these collection systems
                 are not presently regulated under the SPDES program. However, the
                 Water Quality Act of 1987 requires states to phase in a program to
                 regulate municipal storm sewers.                             Chapter 360 of New York State
                 Laws of 1988 gives DEC the authority to regulate stormwater
                 discharges as specified in the federal law.                                      EPA is required to
                 issue regulations by October 1, 1992 which establish requirements
                 for state stormwater management programs. However, the larger and
                 more significant storm sewer discharges will come under regulatory
                 control sooner.

                          Permits will be required by February, 1991 for discharges from
                 munic    ipal storm sewers serving areas with a population of 250,000
                 or more.            For areas with a population of between 100,000 and
                 250,000, storm sewer discharges must be permitted by February,
                 1993. The law allows states to issue permits on a systemwide basis
                 rather than permitting each outfall.                                       Stormwater discharges
                 associated with industrial activity or any stormwater discharge
                 that contributes to a violation of water quality standards can also
                 be regulated prior to 1992.


                                                                     IV-34







                 In December, 1988, EPA issued draft regulation's to implement
           the stormwater program. While the final form of this program is
           not known at this time, it will likely emphasize control of urban
           runoff through the implementation of BMPs.

                 For several years, DEC has been regulating certain stormwater
           runoff through the aspect of the SPDES program which requires the
           imposition of BMPs to control toxics in stormwater at industrial
           sites. When SPDES permits for industrial facilities are renewed,
           monitoring of stornwater discharges are required when there is
           reason to suspect that toxics from "industrial activities" are
           present.    If toxics are present in the stormwater, BMPs such as
           control of runoff from roofs and following regulations for storage
           of hazardous chemicals are required to address the problems.

                 There are several state programs that provide an opportunity
           to address the effects of stormwater runoff from developing areas.
           These permit programs regulate development at the tine of
           construction.      The permit review process should include an
           assessment of the long-term effects on runoff which will result
           from the proposed development.        Measures to prevent stornwater
           runoff problems should be incorporated in the design.

                 The program in this area with the widest scope is,the State
           Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) pi@ocess. All possible impacts
           of any proposed physical alteration or development must be,
           considered in the review process. When the proposed action will
           have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental
           impact statement is r,equired. The review agency can then require
           measures to control the impacts before approving a project.

                 Other programs are targeted at protecting specific habitats
           or sensitive lands.        Freshwater Wetlands Protection, Stream
           Protection, Tidal Wetlands, and Wild and Scenic Rivers each apply
           to a specific area.         Permits are required for construction
           activities which will affect one of the designated areas.             The
           review process can consider the long-term effects of the
           construction as well as the short-term impacts. Another program
           that targets a specific area is the Flood Plain Management Permits
           program.      it regulates construction in flood prone areas.
           Communities   that have adopted acceptable flood plain management
           regulations   administer their own programs.      DEC administers the
           program in other communities.

                 'Several existing state programs address urban runoff through
           planning efforts.     These,programs are designed to determine the
           effects of urban runoff in a specific area and then make control
           recommendations.       Examples of these are the Great Lakes
           Coordination Programs (including the RAPs and the toxic management
           plans for Lake Ontario and the Niagara River) and the National


                                             IV-3.5








          Estuary Prograins f or the New York     New Jersey Harbor and Long
          Island Sound.

                Two DEC.prograns deal with the effects of urban runoff. The
          Shellfish Land Certification program is a regulatory program which
          assesses water quality in the tidal. waters of New York Is marine and
          coastal district. The program prohibits harvesting shellfish in
          areas that do not meet established criteria.        The Clean Lakes
          program uses federal monies to clean up lakes affected by sources
          including urban runoff.      The program is administered by the
          Division of Water.

                The Division of Water has several other stormwater initiatives
          underway.   A manual on stormwater management planning is being
          prepared to introduce the concept to local officials, planning
          board members and developers.      This manual will provide basic
          information on assessing the quantity and quality of stormwater
          runoff and on stornwater management practices. The Division has
          nearly completed guidelines for controlling stormwater runoff from
          subdivisions and other developments.      These guidelines will be
          issued in the form of a Technical and Operational Guidance Series
          (TOGS) memo.   A TOGS memo which provides guidance on erosion and
          sediment control is also being prepared. This was discussed in the
          section on construction.

                Other state programs identified which address this source are
          the Coastal Management Prograin of the Department of State and
          environmental   initiatives undertaken by the         Department    of
          Transportation.    The Coastal Management Program reviews local
          waterfront revitalization programs and requires that nonpoint
          source problems are addressed through appropriate management
          practices. The Department of Transportation's routine maintenance
          activities such as street sweeping and catch basin cleaning reduce
          the pollutant load available during runoff events. DOT also has
          used recharge basins on Long Island to handle highway runoff.

                There is. one  regional program in the state which has the
          authority to address urban runoff. The LakeGeorge Park Commission
          received authority in 1986 to implement a stormwater management
          program in the Lake George Basin.     This program has a regulatory
          component to ensure that the quantity of stormwater runoff after
          development does not exceed pre-development conditions. It also
          has a component which seeks to control the quantity and quality of
          runoff from existing areas of development in the lake basin. Rules
          and regulations for program implementation under the regulatory
          phase currently are being developed.      An initial study proposal
          has been prepared to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of various
         .options for controlling stormwater runoff from developed areas of
          the Lake George Basin.

                Some local governments have programs that are intended to
          reduce the pollutants coming from urban areas.        Regular street

                                          IV-36








           sweeping is done in some cities.  However, many studies, including
           the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP), have demonstrated that.
           street sweeping is generally ineffective as a technique for
           improving the quality of urban runoff.     Another program used in
           many localities is an animal waste control ordinance requiring pet
           owners to pick up and  properly dispose of pet wastes.

                Several programs on the county and local level have been
           identified that use a  regulatory approach to control the effects
           @f stormwater runoff   from new development.    These programs all
           involve the review of  stormwater management plans to assure that
           certain design storms (ex. 2-year, 25-year, 100-year 24-hour storm)
           can be controlled.

                County Soil Water Conservation Districts are becoming involved
           in this review in many counties.     For example, the Westchester
           County SWCD. is reviewing subdivision plans and other development
           projects for many of the municipalities in the county.         These
           reviews are primarily limited to ensuring that the rate of runoff
           after development does , not exceed pre--development conditions.
           Stormwater detention facilities in Westchester County are designed
           for 2-year, 10-year, 50-year and 100-year storms.         Under the
           leadership of the SWCD, county and local officials are moving.to
           create a county stormwater management (regulatory) agency.

                County Commissioners of Public Works are required by Real
           Property law to review drainage plans for subdivision approval.
           In many counties, designs frequently involve removing, surface water
           from a developed site as quickly as possible irrespective of the
           off-site impacts.     The lack of proper stormwater management
           guidance and facilities design criteria for controlling both the
           quantity and quality of runoff may have contributed to this method
           of design.

                One notable exception to this is in Nassau County where over
           600 recharge basins have been constructed.      Recharge basins in
           Nassau County were initially considered to be, the most cost-
           effective method of disposing of stormwater from a development
           site. In more recent years, recharge basins have been routinely
           required in subdivisions not only for controllingrunoff but also
           for the aquifer recharge benefits they provide. There is general
           consensus among planning and water quality officials on Long Island
           that recharge basins do not adversely impact groundwater quality.

                Many municipalities in the state have adopted subdivision
           regulations that have provisions for reviewing drainage plans.
           However, there is a lack of consistency among municipalities in
           their review- of these plans.      Some municipalities in heavily
           developed areas require stormwater management facilities to be
           designed based on specific storms. No municipalities in the state
           have been identified that have a fully integrated stormwater
           management program requiring control of the quantity as well as the,

                                          IV-37







          quality of stormwater runoff to achieve flood control and water
          quality protection objectives.

                Control of diffuse urban runoff in the state is largely a
          local prerogative.       There is no clearly defined statewide
          stormwater management program. For this reason, there is a lack
          of consistency in purpose, stormwater facility design requirements
          and results among communities involved in controlling runoff. Most
          locally administered stormwater programs have a I'd---ainagell bias.
          The primary concern is ensuring that surface runoff is quickly
          removed from a developed site. While some prograns do include
          provisions that runoff should not exceed predevelopment conditions,
          few programs include water quality protection as an objective.

                Another problem is that most existing programs consider only
          the effects of new development.     There are very few initiatives
          which address problems caused by runoff from existing development.

                c. Additional Program Needs

                Diffuse urban runoff is re'cognized as F_ significant problem
          in New York State. While the majority of the segments impaired by
          urban runoff that have been identified are in the Atlantic-Long
          Island Sound Basin, evidence such as NURP studies indicates that
          this is likely to be a problem in most of the heavily developed
          areas of the state.

                State progrars which deal with urban runoff have limited
          geographic coverage. There are only a few counties' in the state
          with existing programs that are effective in addressing this
          source.    These county programs deal with new development where
          runoff controls are incorporated in the design through measures
          such as zoning, increased perviousness and optimal design of
          conveyance systems.    There is a need for statewide standards to
          assure consistency across the state. In addition, programs which
          deal with runoff from existing urban areas are needed.

          Recommendations Using Existing Authority

                1.   The Division of Water should complete its guidance manual
                     on stormwater management planning.      This will provide
                     guidelines for local officials to consider in their
                     review of development proposals.

                2.   Educational efforts are needed to make local officials
                     (especially planning boards) aware of the opportunities
                     which exist to control runoff from new development. Land
                     use planning is partilcularly valuable in addressing this
                     source of nonpoint source pollution.     Local zoning can
                     -be used to protect critical areas and control the extent
                     of impervious surfaces (roofs, roads, parking lots,
                     etc.). The effect of storm waterrunoff from a proposed

                                          IV-38







                      development project should be considered during the SEQR
                      process.

                 3.   DEC sho uld prepare model stormwater control ordinances
                      which call for local implementation of standards. The
                      ordinances should emphasize the importance of handling
                      runoff before it reaches storm sewers.
                 4.   DEC should work with municipalities      to minimize the
                      effects of stormwater runoff through the imposition of
                      BMPs wherever appropriate. This may be done through the
                      SPDES permits to be issued for storm water discharges as
                      .required by the Water Quality Act of 1987.

                 5.   Research and demonstration projects to study treatment
                      techniques, such as the use of artificial wetlands to
                      remove   pollutants   from   urban   runoff,   should be
                      encouraged.

                 6.   -Technology transfer efforts are needed to make local
                      officials aware of the importance of maintaining
                      stormwater control facilities. Actions such as cleaning
                      catch basins and periodic removal of sediment from
                      recharge basins are needed to assure that facilities will
                      continue to function properly.

                 7.   DEC should review federally funded projects to insure
                      that appropriate measures are undertaken to prevent or
                      mitigate adverse effects from nonpoint source    pollution.

           7.    Hydrologic/Habitat Modification
                 a. 'Assessment of Source

                 This category includes a variety of activities which      change
           the nature of a stream corridor or a wetland area. Changes     to the
           bed and banks of a stream, modification to flow patterns of streams
           and dredging/filling of wetlands are considered here.. Sometimes
           the problems experienced in the stream or wetland can be the result
           of changing land use patterns within the watershed.

                 The water quality problems in streams associated with this
           category deal primarily with the fishery habitat. Fish survival
           can be affected through changes to the habitat and through.actions
           which damage the spawning environment. There can also be an impact
           on drinking water supplies. Increased treatment costs and reduced
           volumeof reservoirs are among the problems experienced.

                 Modifications to wetland areas can affect the entire,
           ecosystem.    Dredging or filling a wetland can result in habitat
           loss and the loss of buffering capacities which the wetlands
           provide. These problems have been observed in numerous locations


                                           IV-39









          in the coastal district where the loss of wetlands has impacted
          shellfish through bed closures and possible stock reductions.

               Sediment and heat are the primary pollutants resulting from
          hydrologic modification. Sediment can increase turbi   idity reducing
          light penetration which may impact fish as well as the aquatic
          habitat having an effect on fishery reproduction.           Increased
          temperatures may cause the elimination of coldwater fish from the
          stream., Fluctuating water levels in reservoirs and reduced flow
          in segments downstream of dams can also be effects from this
          source.


               There are a variety of sources included in this category.
          Streambank modification and destabilization is one common source.
          Removal of riparian vegetation is a subcategory of this source.
          The modification of the stream can result from. agricultural
          activities, construction or development. Sedimentation resulting
          from streambank erosion and thermal stress problems occur as a
          result of these actions.

               Urban development can increase runoff which may result in
          increases in the magnitude and frequency of downstream flooding.
          Increased flow can cause widening and destabilization of stream
          channels.   The flooding is sometimes addressed by channelization
          projects. While these correct the flooding problems during times
          of high flow, they can result in thermal stress during normal flow
          periods in the summer.

               Dredging frequently causes sediment problems.      It can also
          affect the habitat for fish and aquatic vegetation.

               Surface impoundments are another sour     ce included in this
          category.    There can be detrimental effects bo    'th upstream and
          downstream of the dam.    The water level fluctuations within the
          impoundment can disturb fish habitat and spawning. The change in
          downstream flow conditions can also affect fish survival. Limited
          releases can cause the stream temperature to rise. In some cases,
          stream segments may be completely dewatered during the operation
          of a hydroelectric power plant.

               There are 28 segments on the PWP list where hydrologic/
          habitat modification is considered a source. The largest number
          of segments are affected by the operations of a dam. 'Water level
          fluctuations within the reservoir and dewatered stream segments
          downstream of the dam are frequent problem causes.       Removal of
          riparian vegetation, streambank destabilization and dredging are
          considered problems on several segments each.

               Discussions during the NPS Pilot Assessment meetings indicate
          that streambank erosion is a widespread problem.         Removal of
          riparian vegetation is another problem that appears to be more
          common than the documented numbers would indicate.
                                          IV-40                                    01








                Certain types of problems have been identified in some    areas
           but not mentioned in other parts of the state   that are likely   to
           have the same problems. Further educational efforts are needed to
           make people aware of the water quality problems that can occur     as
           a result of this source category.

                b. Current Programs to Control Source

                Programs have been identified at the federal, state and local
           levels which address this source. Existing programs employ a range
           of approaches.    Federal programs use financial incentives and
           direct government actions.     State programs primarily employ a
           regulatory approach to address this category. Technology transfer
           is used,on both the state and-local levels.

                Federal'programs identified are operated by USDA.     The Soil
           Conservation Service has the Emergency Watershed Protection program
           and the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention program (PL-566).
           The Emergency Watershed Program is remedial in nature and is
           designed to alleviate imminent hazard to life and property from
           floods' and products of erosion. The      program uses technology
           transfer and financial incentive's to aid -local sponsors in
           correcting problems caused by natural disasters.         The PL-566
           program authorizes SCS to cooperate with   state and local agencies
           in planning and constructing small        watershed improvements.
           Financial incentives are also used in this program.

                Provisions in the federal Food Security Act use financial
           "disincentives" to improve water quality.     If good conservation
           practices are not followed, the farm will become ineligible for
           farm program benefits. The programs,which affect this source most
           directly are the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and the
           Swarpbuster program.     .The CRP   uses financial incentives to
           encourage farmers to take actions which will prevent erosion and
           filter runoff., Practices include  the establishment of vegetative
           buffer strips on streambanks. The Swampbuster program encourages
           the preservation of wetlands that   might otherwise be drained and
           tilled for crop production.

                The Agricultural Conservation  Program (ACP), administered by
           USDA's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Services, uses
           financial incentives to address this source.            Cost-sharing
           assistance is available for implementing management practices such
           as streambank stabilization and tree planting.

                The Corps of Engineers administers a program of issuing
           permits for the discharge of dredged or fill material into
           navigable waters. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act authorizes
           this program.   The state must review each permit and provide a
           @rater quality certification under Section 401 before the Corps can
           issue a permit.

                                          IV-41

                There are a-number of state-programs in this area.
                                                                         Several
          programs use a regulatory approach while others address this source
          through.planning or.-direct government actions.

                DEC administers several regulatory programs which address this
          source category.    :,.The. Tidal,, Wetlands program applies further
          controls to. dredging operations.      The Stream Protection Permit
          program and the Wild and Scenic Rivers program regulate any
          activities that would disturb streambeds or banks on streams
          classified "C(T)" or higher. The Adirondack Park Agency assumes
          responsibility for these permit programs in the Adirondack Park.
          There is a Memorandum of Understanding betwee    'n DEC and DOT which
          outlines procedures to be followed by DOT to protect streams. This
          MOU exists since state agencies are exempt from stream protection
          permit requirements.    Local governments that have a memorandum of
          understanding with DEC are also exempt from stream protection
          permits.   Local governments frequently mine sand and gravel from
          streams.

                Another DEC regulatory program is the Water Supply Permit
          program. When surface water is involved, these permits address the
          issue of hydrologic modification. Issues of flow regulation and
          modification are, considered during the review.       A special case
          under flow regulation is the Reservoir Releases program.             it
          requires cold water releases from New York City water supply
          reservoirs to protect and enhance the recreational use of
          downstream waters.

                Two DEC programs have been identified that employ direct
          government actions. The Flood Control Projects program constructs,
          operates and maintains flood control structures.        Funding comes'
          from a combination of federal, state and local sources.             The
          Division of Fish and Wildlife operates the Stream Habitat
          Improvement program which constructs structures and/or vegetative
          plantings along streams with public fishing easements.             This
          program also encourages (through technology transfer and financial
          incentives) local organizations such as sportsmen's clubs to
          undertake habitat improvement activities.

                The Stream Corridor Management program in the Division of
          Water encourages the protection and maintenance of streams and
          their corridors. The program operates entirely through technology
          transfer. It promotes the management concepts to Soil and Water
          Conservation Districts, Environmental Management Councils and oth    er
          local groups.

                The NYSDOS regulates dredging and filling activities within
          coastal areas through its Coastal Management program. The program
          is guided by 44 policies which cover the use of coastal waters and
          associated land resources through the maintenance and preservation
          of fish and wildlife habitats.       The DEC Flood Plain Management

                                           IV-42







           program regulates ac-:Avities within f lood prone areas across the
           state.     The program is administered locally where adequate
           regulations are ir place.       In other cases, DEC operates the
           program.

                 In most coun--ies, Soil and Water Conservation Districts     are
           the primary local agency which addresses hydrologic modification.
           They use planni*no, technology transfer and direct action approaches
           toward control cf this category.

                 Existing programs deal with  the problems associated with this
           source effectively within their    jurisdictional limits. However,
           permit prograns cover only certain areas and in some programs,
           problem [email protected] such as agricultural activities are exempt from
           regulation. A more complete assessment of problems caused by this
           category is needed.    Upon its completion a determination of the
           need to expand present programs or develop new ones can be made,.

                 C.   Additional Program Needs

                 Existing programs to control this source have been effective
           in their limited areas of application.             However, limited
           jurisdiction, activities which are exempt from the programs and
           lack of awareness of the source have hampered the control.

           Recomr,andations Using Existing Authority

                 1.   The principles advocated in the Stream Corridor
                      Management program need to be more widely disseminated
                      @across the state.   Training sessions should be@held for
                      soil and water conservation districts as well as Resource
                      Conservation and Development Councils (which presently
                      include 32 upstate counties) to encourage the application
                      of these principles.

                      Included in this effort should be educational activities
                      to increase public awareness of the benefits of stream
                      corridor management. Stream conservation can have
                      numerous benefits to a community. The programs should
                      encourage the creation of community stream protection
                      programs to implement management practices.              The
                      benefits of wetlands as nonpoint source filters should
                      also be highlighted in educational programs.

                 2.   Promotion of the existing cost-sharing programs (such as
                      the Conservation Reserve Program through ASCS) for
                      treatments such as vegetative buffer strips is needed.

                 3.   The Memorandums of Understanding which are required for
                      local governments under the provisions of the Stream.
                      Protection Permit program should include requirements for
                      utilizing best manage  ment practices to minimize stream

                                           IV-43








                     disturbance. (This recommendation also applies to the
                     resource extraction category.)

                4.   The Department should establish minimum instream flow
                     criteria.


          Recommendations Which Will Require New Authority

                5.   Regulatory programs which control runoff to prevent
                     damage to streams should be developed in conjunction with
                     the stormwater management program.         There should be
                     requirements for the attenuation of peak runoff from
                     newly developed areas.

          8.    Land Disposal


                a.   Assessment of Source


                When properly designed and installed, land disposal facilities
          should notcause water quality problems.         Numerous facilities do
          not meet accepted standards and pollutants leached from these
          facilities have resulted in impaired waters. The primary sources
          ,which are included in this category are landfills, hazardous waste
          sites, and on-site wastewater systems.

                Land disposal of solid wastes and wastewater can result in
          the contamination of groundwater and may eventually Affect surface
          waters.    All fresh groundwater in the state is classified as a
          potable water supply.      Land disposal most commonly affects this
          use.    Pollutants from land disposal activities can also reach
          surface waterbodies. When this occurs, the pollutants can affect
          fish propagation and survival. The pollutants can also result in
          restrictions on shellfishing in marine waters as well as on contact
          and non-contact recreation in both marine and fresh waters.

                The pollutants associated with land disposal v      ary among the
          different sources included in this category.         The leachate from
          landfills and hazardous waste sites may contain a number of toxic
          substances which can affect surface water and groundwater.
          Discharge from on-site wastewater systems contains pathogens and
          nutrients, and nitrates. Most pollutants are removed by the soil
          in a system which is functioning properly. However, if the system
          is not properly designed, installed or operated, there may be
          adverse affects on water quality.        In heavily developed areas,
          there may be water.quality impacts even when systems are properly
          designed.

                Numerous water quality problems across the state resulting
          from land disposal activities have been listed      *in the Assessment
          Report. Landfills (both municipal as well as active and inactive
          hazardous waste sites) are a documented problem for both surface
          and groundwater.


                                            IV-44








                On-site systems have been only documented as a problems for
           su.rface waterbodies, but they are also considered to be a threat
           for groundwater.   For streams, the problems involve the lack of
           systems or failing systems within streamside hamlets. For lakes,
           dwellings along the shoreline can contribute excess nutrients which
           cause weed and algal problems.       The most commo   n threat to
           groundwater from on-site systems is degradation of individual water
           supplies by bacteria and/or nitrates. There is also a concern that
           new high density development or development with inadequate systems
           will result in contamination of surface or groundwater.

                b.   Current Programs to Control Source

                Existing programs to control pollution from this source
           operate primarily at the state level.    County and local programs
           that address certain sources also exist.     The existing.programs
           employ regulatory and planning approaches as their primary tools.
           Technology transfer is used in several programs, while the
           Superfund program relies on direct government actions.

                Programs to regulate landfills and hazardous waste sites are
           operated by DEC under Federal and State laws. The Federal Resource
           Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) , as amended by the
           Haza.rdous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, and Article 27 of the
           New York State Environmental Conservation Law provide the basic
           authority for the regulation and management of solid and hazardous
           wastes.


                RCRA applies to municipal solid waste as well as hazardous
           waste. However, USEPA has concentrated on the control of hazardous
           materials.  Under RCRA, EPA has identified and listed hazardous
           wastes; established standards applicable to generators and
           transporters of hazardous waste; established minimum requirements
           for permitting hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal
           facilities; and developed "cradle-to-gravell tracking of hazardous
           waste through-a.manifest system which tracks wastes from the time
           they are generated until they reach a final disposal site.       DEC
           administers this program in New York.

                The Superfund program handles the remediation of inactive
           hazardous waste sites. This is done primarily through a regulatory
           approach.  It also involves direct government actions where the
           responsible party cannot be found or is uncooperative.

                The Muni 'cipal Waste Permit program in DEC regulates the
           construction and operation of municipal landfills.     The program
           includes the inspection of facilities and the initiation of
           enforcement actions against facilities that are not in compliance
           with regulations.   Training courses are provided for municipal
           landfill operators under this program.


                                          IV-45







               The authority for control of on-site wastewater disposal
          systems is based on New York's Environmental Conservation Law (ECL)
          and Public Health Law (PHL) .   Both ECL and PHL provide for the
          review of wastewater systems for realty subdivisions of where lot
          size is less than 5 acres and there are 5 or more parcels
          subdivided within a 3-year period-.   Approval of plans for these
          subdivisions by DEC, DOH or the county health department is
          required.

               There is no state level review of individual systems for homes
          which are not part of a subdivision.      The DOH has established
          standards for individual systems.      These standards have been
          incorporated into the state's uniform building code. Compliance
          with requirements for design and installation of individual systems
          is accomplished through review by local code enforcement officers.
          Some counties have adopted a sanitary code which may establish more
          stringent standards. Individual systems are reviewed and approved
          by county health departments in these cases.        Soil and Water
          Conservation Districts play a role in the review in some counties
          that do not have health departments.

               Programs for the control of municipal landfills and hazardous
          waste sites appear to have adequate authority.              Staffing
          limitations are the primary problem in some of the program
          activities.

               The I co,ntrol of on-site systems is somewhat uneven.     Since
          counties and local governments have the primary responsibility for
          enforcement, there is a wide' range in the way the program is
          operated across the state. Some counties have very active programs
          and very stringent requirements, while in other areas programs are
          non-existent except for response to nuisance complaints resulting
          from faulty sewage disposal systems.

               C.   Additional Program Needs

               Water quality problems caused by landfills and hazardous
          wastes exist but they are being addressed by existing programs.
          No recommendations for modifying these programs will be included
          in this report.

               Problems from on-site systems can be considered in two
          categories. The first relates to new development and-the threats
          to water quality that it poses.       The second category is for
          existing development which is presently causing a water quality
          problem. The control options recommended will be different for the
          two categories.

               In the case of new developmentl regulatory, technology
          transfer and planning programs are recommended.       For existing
          development,  regulatory programs,     financial   incentives and
          demonstration projects would be desirable.          The first two

                                         IV-46







           recommendations   below   deal   primarily    with   addressing   new
           development. The remaining recommendations relate more to problems
           caused by existing development.

           iRecommendations Using Existing Authority

                1.    Model sanitary code requirements for individual on-site
                      wastewater disposal     systems should be developed.
                      counties whose codes do not meet or exceed the
                      requirements of the provisions should be encouraged to
                      adopt such.

                2.    Technical guidelines should be prepared to assist lo   -cal
                      governments in effectively using local zoning as well as
                      subdivision and site plan review authority to minimize
                      on-site wastewater disposal impacts. The use of zoning
                      is particularly appropriate in dealing with this source
                      category.   Soil and water table information should be
                      considered when establishing maximum housing density for
                      a particular area. Watershed rules and regulations might
                      be used to ban on-site systems in certain critical areas.


                3.    Existing enforcement authority should be used to require
                      corrective actions by persons causing water quality
                      problems due to inadequate on-site wastewater systems.
                      Priorities should-be established based on the PWP list.

                4.    Financial incentive programs, such as the revolving loan
                      program, are needed to assist communities in funding
                      collection and treatment systems.

                5.    A technology transfer effort to identify potential
                      methods of financing projects is needed.      Alternatives
                      such as creation of wastewater management districts and
                      implementation of the self-help program would be
                      included. This information should then be made available
                      to, communities with water quality problems caused by
                      failing on-site systems.

                6.    Demonstration projects should be used to illustrate new
                      methods for solving the problem caused by, failing on-site
                      systems. Alternatives to conventional collection systems
                      and treatment plants should be studied.. Projects using
                      methods such as cluster systems that collect sewage from
                      small-lot residences and distribute it to nearby sites
                      with suitable soil should be encouraged.

                7.    Educational efforts are needed to make the public aware
                      of the major impact of improper disposal of household
                      hazardous waters (used oil, batteries, paint, solvents,,
                      @tc.).   The programs should inform the public that
                      improper   disposal   can   result   in   degradation    of
                      groundwater.

          9.   Leaks, Spills and Accidents


               a.   Assessment of Source

               Leaks and spills of petroleum products and other hazardous
          ,materials are a significant problem in New York. Subsurface leaks
          have the greatest potential to contaminate groundwater while
          .surface spills can cause either- groundwater or surface water
          problems.

               Most of the problems that have been identified involve
          contaminated groundwater. All fresh groundwater in the state is
          classified as a source of drinking water. The toxic materials that
          are leaked and spilled can affect this use.      Spills to surface
          water can impair designated uses of these waterbodies.

               Many of the pollutants in this category are hydrocarbons
          (organics). In the case of petroleum contamination, the dissolved
          constituents such as benzene, toluene. and xylene (BTX) are the
          primary pollutants.   Chlorinated solvents, such as TCE, are the
          most important of the hazardous materials due to their mobility.

               Spills and leaks of petroleum products and of chlorinated
          solvents are significant sources of groundwater contamination.
          The Bureau of Spill Response maintains a data management system on-
          all reported petroleum and hazardous material spills.             An
          indication of the magnitude of the problem is the number of spills
          that occur each year. The Assessment Report contains information
          from the Spill,Response data base on the number of active spills
          and leaks during the Fiscal Year 1987-88.     Over 9,000 petroleum
          spills and more than 600 hazardous material spills were reported.
          The majority of the spills were either under land surface or to the
          ground. Only 10% of the spills drained directly to surface water.

               The effect that a particular spill or leak has depends on its
          proximity to wells or to a surface waterbody.         The type of
          pollutant, and the geology of an area.     Petroleum products most
          often cause contamination of shallower wells while the more mobile
          chlorinated solvents can cause problems.in deeper municipal water
          supply wells.   The most important problem areas are in aquifer
          recharge areas where high storage tank density and high dependency
          on shallower groundwater coincide.

               b.   Current Programs to Control Source

               Control of this source is performed predominantly at the state
          level. There are federal laws which apply but the programs have
          been delegated to the state. Local programs also exist for spill
          response and bulk storage in some areas of the state.

               The.Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) program and the Hazardous
          Chemical Bulk Storage (CBS) program are both operated by DEC's
          Division of water. They are primarily regulatory programs which
          require facility owners to register and test tanks. Construction
          codes for the installation of new tanks are another regulatory
          aspect of these programs. The programs also have planning aspects
          since they are providing an inventory of sources.     PBS has been
          delegated to county governments in four counties.            It is
                                                                                  01
                                         IV-48





          anticipated that CBS will eventually also be delegated to some
          counties.

                The Spill Response Program  uses the regulatory approach and
          direct government actions. The    responsible party is required to
          clean up petroleum and hazardous   material spills. If the spiller
          is uncooperative or unknown, then the state hires a standby
          contractor to perform the cleanup.       Legal action against the
          spiller is taken to.recoup the cost of the cleanup.

                Several other programs identified in the Assessment Report
          also address this source.      DEC's groundwater program and the
          Department of Health's Public Water Supply program both involve
          planning to identify potential contamination sources. The water
          supply program can then use regulatory controls such as watershed
          rules and regulations to address these problems. Another program
          which concerns this source is the specialty course offered at the
          College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This educational
          program, offers courses in management of oil and gas brines and in
          hazardous waste handling and emergency response.

                These programs provide the basis for control of water quality
          problems caused by spills and leaks.      The state has regulatory
          control over the primary sources through the PBS and CBS programs.
          The inspection and testing aspects of these programs identify leaks
          which must be remediated.     The Spill Response program addresses
          spills and leaks as they are discovered.       Watershed rules and
          regulations can be used to control the sources within critical
          watersheds.

                C.   Additional Program Needs

                Spills, leaks and accidents continue to cause water quality
          problems in New York. However, programs to effectively regulate
          these sources do exist and the water quality problems caused by
          this category are being minimized. One area where further control
          efforts would be desirable is the protection of critical watersheds
          from hazardous materials.


          Recommendations Using Existing Authority

                1.   Inventories of petroleum and hazardous materials storage
                     facilities within important aquifer areas should be
                     developed and mapped. This will help identify potential
                     problem areas for local government.

                2.   Communities should be encouraged to hold cleanup/disposal
                     days for pesticides and other hazardous chemicals. These
                     cleanup. days should be held in conjunction with an
                     educational program to make homeowners aware of the
                     damage which can be caused by improper disposal of
                     hazardous chemicals.

          Recommendations Which Will Require New Authority

                3.   Incompatible use    regulations   are needed    for the
                     protection of all primary water supply aquifers inthe
                    @state. These regulations could prohibit the storage of

                                          IV-49





                     hazardous chemicals within a primary water supply aquifer
                     area.


           10. Resource Extraction/Exploration/Development

                a.   Assessment of Source

                The category of resource extraction includes both mining and
           the production of oil and natural gas.

                Sand and gravel production accounts for 85% of the mining
           activity in,New York State.     Oil production occurs only in the
           southwestern portion of the state, whereas natural gas production
           occurs in both western and central New York. Most of the recent
           gas exploration and development activity is taking place in the
           Finger Lakes area.

                Sand- and gravel mining is the most extensive form of resource
           extraction performed across New York State. Operations conducted
           in and near streams have the greatest potential to affect water
           quality.   The major pollutant associated with sand and gravel
           mining is sediment. At all permitted mining operations, erosion
           and sedimentation control options are implemented to ensure that
           excessive runoff does not occur.       Removal of sand and gravel
           deposits from the bed and banks of a stream can also cause
           significant problems if not done in accordance with an approved
           mined land use plan.    Sand and gravel mining is not listed as a
           significant source in the Nonpoint Source Assessment Report.

                When impairments from oil and gas production occur they are
           usually the result of operational problems such as leaking lines,
           wellhead connections, or tanks. Other operational problems that
           can be minor sources of nonpoint source pollution include
           accidental seepage loss of drilling fluids and spillage of oil.

                Leaks from old abandoned and improperly plugged wells may also
           be a major source of pollution in the long existing oilfields of
           southwestern New York.      These leaks and other illegal brine
           discharges have caused brine contamination and impairments such as
           degraded water supplies in isolated areas.      Lower fish survival
           rates are suspected and taste impairment of edible species have
           been reported by sportsmen.

                Five stream segments are on the Priority Water Problem list
           because of problems related to oil and gas well fields in the
           Allegany and Genesee River Basins. Many of these operations have
           existed for more than 100 years, since long before the
           implementation of any environmental protection regulations.
                o
                b.   Current Programs to Control Source

                Existing programs which address this source operate at the
           state level. Federal and state laws regulate these sources. Most
           of the programs identified are operated by DEC.

                Mining operatio ns, are controlled primarily through the state
           Mined Land Reclamation Law. Permits are issued by DEC's Division
           of Mineral Resources for the extraction of minerals from the


                                          IV-50





          ground.    Applicants must submit a mined land use plan which
          includes plans for mining and reclamation.          Best management
          practices such as settling ponds and stabilizing active faces as
          soon as practical are recommended.

                The removal of sand and gravel from streams classified 11C(T)11
          or higher is regulated by the stream protection permit program and
         .the mined land reclamation program. . DEC's Division of Fish and
          Wildlife issues permits for any modifications or disturbance of the
          channel or bed of a stream.- There are some exemptions to this
          program including Department of Transportation activities and
          actions by any local governments having a memorandum of
          understanding with DEC.     Local governments frequently mind sand
          and gravel from streams.

                The oil and Gas Regulation program is another activity
          administered by DEC's Division of Mineral Resources. Permits are
          required for oil and gas wells covering all phases of extraction
          from drilling to plugging and abandonment. Management practices
          to minimize water quality degradation,such as lining drill pits
          and installing adequate casing and cement in well bores, are
          required in the permits.

                The only other program identified in the Assessment Report
          that addresses this source is the educational program at the
          College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Courses offered at
          the College deal with oil and gas exploration techniques.          One
          course listed which is pertinent to this source covers the
          management of oil and gas brines.

                In addition to the programs listed in the   Assessment Report,
          the USDA - Soil Conservation Service (SCS) has two technology
          transfer. programs which address this source.           They provide
          technical assistance in the form of preparing Mined Land
          Reclamation Plans for various sand and gravel operations. The SCS
          Plant Materials Program also provides technical assistance for the
          establishment of cover on mined land sites.       These programs are
          delivered to   or in conjunction with Soil and Water Conservation
          Districts.

                Existing programs appear to have adequate authority to control
          this source.    One problem area regarding the authority concerns
          the exemption of local governments and state agencies from stream
          disturbance permit requirements.       Mining sand and gravel from
          streams can cause sediment problems in the streams.       The present
          system of MOUs between DEC and the agencies (local and state) that
          remove the gravel needs to be strengthened.

                C.   Additional Program Needs

                The existing programs are performing satisfactorily in
          controlling this source., Only minor changes to existing programs
          are recommended.


          Recommendations-Using Existing Authority

                1.   The Memorandums of Understanding which are required for
                     local governments under provisions of the Stream

                                          IV-51






                     Protection Permit program should include requirements for
                     utilizing best management practices to minimize stream
                     disturbance, (This recommendation also applies to the
                     hydrologic/habitat modification strategy.)

          Recommendations Which Will Require New Authority

                2.   A legislative amendment to the Mined Land Reclamation
                     Law has been proposed that, if passed, will significantly
                     lower the statutory threshold for mining in streams.

                3.   The Stream Protection Permit Program should include
                     provisions requiring local governments to obtain permits
                     for the mining of sand and gravel from stream beds.

          11. Silviculture


                a.   Assessment of Source

                Silviculture is the systematic management or cultivation of
          woodland for the production of forest products.         One aspect of
          silviculture, which takes place on only a small percentage of the
          state's 15 million acres of commercial forest each year, is the
          harvesting of timber, pulp and fuel wood. Water quality problems
          resulting from this activity tend to be localized and short
          duration impairments.      Other silvicultural activities such as
          prescribed burning, the application of pesticides, and timber stand
          improvement are not considered to be water quality threats in New
          York.


                Sedimentation is the principal water quality impairment
          associated with harvesting and is caused by erosion from poor
          design and placement of logging roads, trails or landings.
          Sediment reduces the penetration of sunlight and may settle to
          adversely affect fish spawning areas.       Sediment can shorten the
          life of water impoundments and add to drinking water treatment
          costs. A less common, but potentially serious stream impairment,
          is increased thermal energy resulting from the removal of
          streambank vegetation.     Selective tree removal can reduce this
          impact and regrowth helps balance overall stream impact.         Stream
          crossing during the harvest can accelerate streambank erosion and
          occasionally severely disrupt stream ecology.

                .b.  Current Programs to Control Source

                Several programs which address silviculture have been
          identified in the Assessment Report. The programs are from every
          level of government although most are at the state level and are
          operated by DEC. Technology transfer is the preferred approach to
          handling.this source.

                The federal programs identified are the Agricultural
          Conservation Program and Forestry Incentives Program administered
          by USDA's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service.
          These are the only programs listed for this source which use
          financial incentives. Soil protection is a primary purpose of the
          silvicultural practices of the Agricultural Conservation'Program.
          The Forestry Incentives Program, while more production- oriented,

                                           IV-52





           also provides soil protection benefits.     Silviculture practices
           include tree planting, timberstand improvement and site preparation
           for natural regeneration. Cost-sharing is limited to 65% under the
           Forestry Incentives Program and up to 75% under the Agricultural
           Conservation Program.

                Another federal program which addresses this source is
           provided by the Soil Conservation Service. They provide technical
           assistance in the form of preparing conservation plans for erosion*
           and sedimentation control. The SCS assists in the proper layout
           of logging roads, the installation of sediment control practices
           and harvesting recommendations.     The SCS program is   ' delivered
           through or in conjunction with the Soil. and Water Conservation
           Districts.

                The state's strategy for dealing with waterquality problems
           associated with silviculture is coordinated bythe DEC Division of
           Lands and Forests. The strategy relies on technology transfer and
           education to promote the use of sound management practices.        In
           addition to DEC, a number of other agencies are involved and other
           programs are used to enhance the process and achieve effective
           control of the condition and possible problems.

                DEC's  Division of Lands and Forests          is   implementing
           Cooperating Consultant Forester and Cooperating Timber Harvester
           prograns in order to increase the rate of adoption and expand the
           area of application of approved BMPs. Cooperation with the Forest
           Practice Board and outreach educational efforts to forest
           landowners to create awareness and encourage the use of BMPs is
           also part of the strategy.

                Soil and Water Conservation Districts encourage the use of
           proper practices through their authority to prepare conservation
           Plans for forest holdings larger than 25 acres.      Through an MOU
           between DEC and the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee
           which has been adopted by all 57 SWCDs, if a landowner proposes a
           harvest, the SWCD recommends the use of BMPs to avoid water quality
           problems and/or advises the use of a forestry consultant.

                The@Wild and Scenic Rivers program of DEC (administered by the
           Adirondack Park Agency within the Park) applies to silviculture.
           Forest harvesting along certain rivers is regulated by this
           program. Another program which addresses this source is the Stream
           Corridor Management program.      It uses technology transfer to
           encourage the protection of stream corridors during logging
           operations.

              . The College of Environmental science and Forestry in Syracuse
           conducts an educational program for forestry consultants.        They
           also provide further education and technology transfer through
           ?utreach efforts. These programs provide training for individuals
           involved . in silviculture.   Cornell Cooperative Extension also
           .conducts educational programs dealing with forestry. Promotional
           materials are released through County Extension Offices.

                C,   Additional Program Needs

                The- existing efforts to control this source which use

                                          IV-53





           technology transfer as the primary control option, appear to be
           adequate. Additional funding to permit the expansion of existing
           programs is the primary need.    Increasing the frequency of post
           timber harvest evaluations would also be desireable.


           12. Other Sources

                There are several other categories of nonpoint source
           pollution which were not listed separately in the Assessment Report
           but which remain a significant concern.     A brief description of
           these sources and the recommended control options for each follows.

                a.   Roadbank Erosion

                Erosion from unvegetated ditches along state, county and local
           roads is believed to be a significant source of sediment during
           spring runoff each year. Many highway departments clean ditches
           in the fall, leaving no time to reestablish vegetation before
           winter. Spring runoff then results in significant erosion.

                No waterbodies have been identified which -are directly
           affected by roadbank erosion. It is regarded as a generic problem
           in many parts of the state but due to the intermittent nature of
           the source, the problems are frequently not identified.

                The existing programs which address this       source are the
           general erosion control activities performed by Soil and Water
           Conservation Districts and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) .
           The Districts encourage local governments to modify their practices
           to minimize roadbank erosion. Through the SCS's     Plant Materials
           program, various amounts of seed, woody shrubs and  plants can also
           be provided to stabilize roadbanks.

                Technology transfer appears to be the most appropriate control
           option for this source.       Training materials are needed to
           demonstrate to highway superintendents that roadbank erosion is a.
           problem and to recommend management practices which will reduce
           the water quality impacts.    These options can be pursued using
           existing authority.

                b.. Storage and Application of Deicing Agents

                Road   salt   storage - piles  have   been   responsible    for
           contamination of groundwater in many locations across the state.
           Application of salt is regarded as a potential problem in many
           areas. Road sanding has been identified as a problem on a number
           of streams in the Adirondack Mountains area as well as in other
           areas of the state.

                The primary effect of improper salt storage is to make
           groundwater unsuitable for drinking.     While the chloride which
           enters wells is not considered a major public health risk, it can
           result in an objectionable taste in the water. High levels of
           sodium can pose health risks, however. Shallow individual wells
           are more frequently affected than deeper municipal wells.

                The threat to groundwater quality from the use of deicing
           compounds is considered far less significant than the threat from

                                          IV-54



           improper storage. However, the use of deicing agents as well as
           sand spreading on highways during the winter can cause water
           quality problems in surface waters. Road sanding is listed as the
           primary source of impairment on 12 stream segments on the Priority
           Water Problem List. The sediment which enters streams as a result
           of this source adversely impacts fish propagation and survival.

                The groundwater program of DEC recognizes problems caused by
           road salt storage. It employs a planning approach by documenting
           the problems and assessing their impacts. The Division of Water.
           has issued a Technical and Operational Guidance Series memo on the
           storage and use of highway salt and salt/sand mixtures..         it
           encourages proper storage of salt and limiting the application of
           salt to only what is needed.

                More extensive use  of the planning approach to document the
           extent of problems caused by deicing agents is needed. Research
           and demonstration projects to determine the * impacts that salt
           application has on the ecosystem along highways are also
           recommended. Technology transfer to encourage proper storage and
           application practices would be beneficial.    Finally, since salt
           storage problems have been shown to be a common source of
           groundwater contamination, a regdlatory program to require storage
           facilities that will not result in water quality problems is
           needed.

                                         CHAPTER V


                                  WATERSHED PROGRAMS FOR
                          CONTROLLING NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION



           A.   Introduction

                Prevention and control of nonpoint sources are achieved prin-
           cipally through use of management practices. As described in the
           Nonpoint Source Assessment Report, these practices are intended to
           preclude or reduce the availability or transport of materials that
           could adversely affect the quality of surface or ground waters.
              necessary part of the Nonpoint Source Management, Program
           is determining the appropriate geographic area for implementing
           such practices. There are and will be finite resources available
           for nonpoint source management. The program must recognize that
           certain problems are best addressed through practices applied at
           the watershed level while other sources will require a statewide
           approach. A comprehensive program for nonpoint source management
           must include provisions for both.

                     use of Statewide and Watershed Programs

                The nature of a particular source, the threat it poses,    or the
           problems it causes determine whether a statewide or watershed
           approach for control is appropriate.        A statewide program is
           applicable in a number of circumstances.

                Firstf basic preventative programs to avoid water quality
           impacts from nonpoint sources should be implemented through regular
           application of management practices applied statewide with no
           particular geographic emphasis. A source category that constitutes
           an unacceptable threat to surface or groundwater or both no matter
           where it is located is one example of this situation; for instance,
           petroleum and hazardous materials bulk storage.        The management
           practice which has been adopted to control this source is a
           construction code for storage tanks.         A statewide regulatory
           program requires that this code be followed. Another example is
           where potential impacts may vary geographically, but control is
           feasible only in a statewide approach. The regulation of sale and
           use of pesticides that leach easily through sandy soils could fall
           in this category. Sources that have a transitory but*significant
           effect on water quality are also candidates for general approaches,
           for instance, requiring practices such as basic erosion and
           sediment control for construction'sites. Finally, in addition to
           prevent 'ing nonpoint source pollution, some practices may have other
           benefits such that their general use should be promoted even though
           water quality benefits may vary considerably according to
           geographic setting. Contour and strip crop farming are practices
           that cons  erve soil wherever they are used and can protec    t water


                                            V-1









          quality, depending on the proximity of the treated land to a
          surface waterbody.

                Beyond the goal of problem prevention, the remediation of the
          effects of pollution from some nonpoint source categories call's for
          a statewide approach.       These include the widespread use or
          discharge of various substances to the environment and existing
          pollutant accumulations from.prior activities on the landscape.
          Examples are atmospheric deposition, non-complying landfills, and
          contaminated sediments.     For dealing with pollution from these
          sources, watershed programs will not help.          A statewide (or
          national) program context must be-used.

                Watershed management programs have utility in addressing water
          quality problems or threats caused by land uses that change the
          earth's surface, add substances to it and/or change drainage
          patterns leading to additional soil erosion and transport of
          various contaminants to surface waters.         Such factors as the
          density of activities on the land, the proximity of the land use
          to surface waterbodies (as well as groundwater recharge areas) , the
          nature of the terrain, the types of soil and climatological factors
          will affect the severity of the water quality impacts. Thus, the
          effects will vary according to the character of the watershed.
          Among the source categories that are of concern in these
          circumstances are urban runoff, agricultural activities and
          resource extraction. The most efficient approach to water quality
          problems caused by sources in this category focuses on the specific
          land uses and activities that degrade or threaten waters.                 4 0
                In this situation, the entire area that contributes runoff to
          the waterbody, known as a watershed, must be considered to properly
          address the problem. The validity of the hydrologic unit concept
          is supported by the pollutant-generating processes and transport
          mechanisms of nonpoint sources -bf pollution which are often
          widespread in origin. The pollutants are generally transported by
          surface runoff or by water infiltrating through the soil profile.

                The watershed is also the logical unit to plan a nonpoint
          source management program because the contributory area will often
          cross political boundaries.       Nonpoint source problems can be
          resolved only when all        land use activities        significantly,
          contributing nonpoint source contaminants to a waterbody are
          managed. For each watershed, the list of appropriate management
          practices can be refined, critical sites can be identified and the
          extent to which management practices must be applied to meet the
          stated water quality goals can be determined.

                2.   Context for Choosing Watershed Priorities

                As described in Chapter V of the Nonpoint Source Assessment
          Report, there are a number of programs at all levels of government
          which have a role in the control of nonpoint source pollution in

                                           V-2







           New York. Each program has its own goals and objectives and each
           has its own priorities.     The Management Program must recognize
           these different priorities but still establish a framework which
           will allow programs to work together to control nonpoint source
           pollution.

                The scope of a program is one factor which influences
           priorities. Programs at the various levels of government (and even
           different agencies at the same level) likely will have different
           priorities and there must be a recognition that this will occur at
           federal, state, regional, and local levels for watershed
           management.

                The role of DEC in relation to the program structures that can
           develop in this setting will vary from acting as lead agency, in
           some instances, to cooperating through technical or financial
           assistance, to reviewing programs for consistency with state goals
           and programs. In carrying out its responsibilities for nonpoint
           source management, DEC will follow the guidelines listed below:

                a.    Priority will be placed on addressing the waterbodies
                      identified in the list of waterbodies prepared pursuant
                      to Section 17-1407 of ECL for state funded projects, for
                      consistency review of federal proposals, and for
                      recommending proposal candidates for other agencies.

                b.    For federal proposals with funding designated for
                      waterbodies outside the state to which New York waters
                      are tributary, such as the Chesapeake Bay, the Assessment
                      List will not be a limiting review criterion. However,
                      DEC will encourage the use of funds to also benefit
                      waters within the New York portion of the drainage basin
                      that are affected by nonpoint sources.

                c     For federal or state funds appropriated for specific
                      state waterbodies or drainage basins, such as the Great
                      Lakes, DEC will recognize the geographic designation in
                      reviewing proposals for. consistency with state programs.

                d.    For local programs supported only by local funding and
                      local efforts, DEC will recognize local priorities. DEC
                      will also encourage the implementing agencies to utilize
                      the prioritized list described above in a. in choosing
                      projects.

                3.    Identification of Candidate Watersheds

                The Nonpoint Source Assessment lists waterbodies affected by
           nonpoint  source pollution.    Chapter II of this report describes
           the system to. be used in future DEC Assessments f or classifying the
           water quality effect of nonpoint sources and for keeping the list
           current.                         V-3







               The sources of the pollutants affecting the waters listed in
          the'Nonpoint Source Assessment Report are sometimes related to
          activities on the land, sometimes not. For those waters primarily
          affected by atmospheric deposition and acid rain, for instance, the
          problem source lies outside the tributary watershed and local
          watershed programs will do little to diminish the impact. . For
          waters affected by contaminated sediments deposited as a result of
          past point or nonpoint source activities, resolution of the problem
          can be accomplished only by removal of the material or some in-
          place neutralization.    If the parent sources no longer exist,
          watershed programs can do little to solve the problems. For other
          waters where the water quality impacts or threats are related to
          current activities in the watershed, a tarqeted approach for
          management is the appropriate means of reducing the effects.

               The first step in defining the universe of watersheds which
          are candidates for specific programs is to analyze the Assessment
          listing of degraded and threatened waterbodibs and sort-out those
          where nonpoint sources fron land use activities in the watershed
          are of concern.   The size of the tributary land area for these
          waters can vary from a small watershed to an entire river basin.
          In designating the area to be managed, the hydrologic watershed
          units as defined on the USDA-So-%l Conservation Service "Hydrologic
          Unit Watershed Map-1980, State of New York" will be the basic areal
          units and will be the building blocks for describing larger
          hydrologic areas. Thus, a local.-A.zed problem in the headwaters of
          a river system could have a single hydrologic watershed associated
          with it while a large lake could have half a dozen hydrologic
          watersheds.

               The current watershed listing derived from the updated
          assessment (as described in Chapter II) is found in Appendix A of
          this report. It includes the tributary watersheds for those waters
          on the Assessment List which have a nonpoint source as a primary
          cause of water quality impact, excluding atmospheric deposition and
          contaminated sediment. Segments which have atmospheric deposition,
          contaminated sediment or a point source as the primary source have
          also been included when a nonpoint source is listed as a secondary
          source.


          B. , Implementing Watershed Management Programs

               1.   Roles of Different Governmental.Levels

               The spatial nature of nonpoint source water pollution suggests
          a control program with planning and implementation carried out at
          an appropriate level of government. Small watershed concerns can
          best be addressed at the local level; river basin needs may require
          a federal, state, or regional lead with local participation. The
          program, however, must not be fragmented.     It will be developed
          under the leadership and coordination of NYSDEC, the state lead
          water quality agency, especially with regard to identification of

                                          V-4








           water quality objectives, evaluation of water quality problems, and
           development of overall control program direction.

                An effective nonpoint source control program should foster the
           cooperation of diverse agencies and organizations.            Federal
           agencies can bring external funding, related technical and
           organizational experience from similar projects, and other benefits
           to state NPS projects. Where appropriate, regional agencies should
           be involved because the water resources of a state can affect those
           in neighboring areas, and inter-Area cooperation will benefit    ' all
           participants.    Local agencies and organizations are essential
           because they can provide the commitment and implementation effort
           that ultimately determines success or failure. Section 10 of the
           Soil and Water Conservation District Law allows two or more
           districts to cooperate with one another.     This arrangement might
           be useful in addressing problems on watersheds that are in more
           than one county.

                2.   Establishing Watershed Priorities

                Although high water quality resources are important to the
           economic welfare of New York and are valued by the public, there
           are not enough financial resources to address all existing
           significant water quality problems.        Establishing priorities
           provides a means for focusing available technical and financial
           resources on a limited geographic region   and improves chances for
           achieving visible water quality improvement.      Such demonstrated
           water quality benefits, should result in increased public support
           of NPS control programs and better awareness of overall water
           quality issues.     A change in attitude corresponding with an
           increase of knowledge and skill. of NPS control are primary
           ingredients in achieving lasting water resource protection.

                Setting priorities will help set direction, but may also cause
           conflict among the various state and local organizations and
           agencies that compete for limited resources. To keep the selection
           process open and to maximize the information available to reach an
           informed decision, all interested agencies and organizations should
           be represented. The causes and impacts of the NPS water quality
           problems are diverse; therefore, the process should include
           participation from all levels of government -- federal., state,
           regional, county and local.     Appropriate agencies include those
           with interests in water resource planning, natural resource
           protection,   land   use   planning,    point   source    regulation,
           agriculture, mining and forestry, constructiont economic evaluation
           and health and welfare.

                At the. state level, problem watersheds (listed in Appendix A)
           should be prioritized to achieve an optimal distribution of efforts
           and funds. The procedure should be driven by several factors:



                                            V-5









                    uses being impacted (public health impacts vs. aesthetic
                    problem) ;

                    Severity of water quality problems;

                    Extent of knowledge of those problems and their causes;

                    The degree to which problems and threats are resolvable
                    considering economic, political and social factors.


                    Concerns and interests of participating agencies; and

                    Resources and capabilities of institutions.

               A three-phase procedure will be used for designating
          priorities. The steps in this procedure are as follows:

               1.   DEC   Division of Water, numerically. ranks candidate
                    watersheds based on a technical water quality and
                    pollution potential evaluation;

               2.   Committees in the DEC regions review ranked watersheds
                    and make recommendations;

               3.   DEC, with the advice of various statewide agency and
                    interest groups, establishes a list of priority
                    watersheds.

          a.   Scoring Candidate Watersheds Using Technical Criteria

               Step 1 above will involve scoring the affected waterbodies in
          the watersheds using   objective, technical criteria.    While the
          system produces a precise numerical score, the final output from
          the process will be a relative ranking of high, medium or low for
          each waterbody. This ranking will then be utilized as the priority
          determination process proceeds.    A system that has been used by
          DEC for a number of years in developing the priority water problem
          (PWP) list also will be used here.      Rather than attempting to
          develop an independent system, DEC proposes to continue the use of
          the procedure in the nonpoint source arena.       As experience is
          gained with the scoring process, adjustments'can be made.

               The scoring system is described in the DEC publication, 1988
          Prigrity Water Problem List, April 1988.     A description of this
          scoring system, updated to reflect the new categories.of impact
          given in Chapter II, is provided as Table V-1. A description of
          the water quality classifications used in New York is given in
          Table V-2.   In summary, the factors which are included in the
          scoring are the classified best use, which sets the water quality
          objective for the waterbody; a problem severity factor; a public
          access factor; a uniqueness factor; and a factor which relates to
          the size of the affected waterbody.

                                                               PRIORITY UATER PROBLEM LIST
                                                                      SCORING SYSTE


                            Details on the scoring   factors used to  rank segments on the Priority Water     Problem (PWP) list follow.
                  Some background on the process    Leading to the scoring may be helpful in understanding how or why water segments
                  are or are not-included.


                            A detrimental effect on the best uses assigned under New York State water quality standards must be
                  demonstrated in order for a segment to be I is ted. Tab Le V-2 contains the water qua tity c I ass if i cations assigned
                  under the standards and shows the best use for each class.

                            Based upon discussions with Regional office personnel, a work sheet is prepared for each segment.
                  Basic information about the affected segment and the type and severity of the problemlsl and supporting
                  documentation is recorded an the work sheet.

                            The information recorded on the work sheet     is then utilized to compute a segment score. The formula
                  for scoring a segment is as follows:

                                                                Score = P 1W1+P 2W2+P3WF3 +P4

                                                                                                   Maximum Score

           b.    Developing the Feasibility of Watershed Management Through
                 Regional Review

                 The second phase will provide for local input, review and
           recommendations in the priority setting process. Annually, ranked
           candidate watersheds will be sent to NYSDEC Regional offices for
           review by a committee of local agencies and organizations.              The
           local review process will refine the ordering of the candidate
           watersheds based on the professional judgment and opinions of the
           commi ttee.

                 The committee will be chaired by the DEC Regional Director.
           Committee kepresentation should include, but not be limited to:
           NY9DEC Regional Divisions of Water and Fish and Wildlife, County
           Planning Boards, Environmental Management Councils, Soil and Water
           Conservation Districts, County Health agencies, Cornell Cooperative
           Extension and Regional Planning Organizations.

                 Factors to be considered in determining        the feasibility of
           control in a watershed include the following:

                 i.    Severity of the Water Ouality Problem or Threat - The
                       scoring from the first step in the priority setting
                       process provides a measure of the relative severity of
                       problems in the region.

                 ii.   Understanding of the Cause of the Water Oualitv Problem-
                       The degree to which the effects on water quality and the
                       designated  'uses have been verified and documented must
                       be considered. Also, the extent that prior planning and
                       analysis has taken place to identify solutions or
                       preventative actions should be considered.

                 iii.  Institutional and Program Capability to Act on the
                       Problem - In assessing the feasibility of implementing
                       a control plan in a specific situation, the review
                       committee must consider whether there is an appropriate
                       program available to support the work.           Additionally,
                       there must be in existence an appropriate local entity
                       with the necessary authority that is willing to carry out
                       the plan.

                 iv.   Availability of Funding from State or Federal Sources
                       Whether funding is available or can be expected to
                       underwrite implementation of the control plan is a basic
                       factor in determining feasibility.        State and federal
                       agencies should provide advice to the review committee
                       at the outset as to the availability of monies based on
                       federal or state geographic priorities or on categories
                       of nonpoint source pollution.

                 V.    Extent of Public Benefits - The magnitude         of the net
                       benefits that could accrue if     the identified problem or
                       threat were mitigated is an important consideration in


                                              V-10






                       the' review.     widespread public and water resource
                       benefits would   outweigh those with a more confined or
                       narrow scope.    The value of a resource to the public
                       should be considered (for instance, public vs. private
                       waterbody).

                 vi.   Likelihood of Success - Whether a plan can be implemented
                       or not depends on several additional factors: Are there
                       technical means available to mitigate the problem? Is
                       there public support evident locally for the proposal?
                       Are those who must take action (i.e., the landowner)
                       willing to participate?.

                 vii.  Costs of Inaction - Consideration must be given to the
                       magnitude of damage to the.water resource and its use
                       that would occur if no action   s were taken

                 After considering these factors and any other pertinent
           concerns, the review committee will identify the watersheds
           believed to be of highest priority for inplementati'on and submit
           its findings to the DEC Regional Director.

                 C.    List of Targeted Watersheds

                 Once reviewed by.the regional committees, the DEC Division of
           Water will make a final ranking of priority watersheds where state
           funds should be and where federal funds ought to be directed. In
           doing this, DEC, will consult with other state agencies, such as
           the Soil and Water Conservation Committee, and with state offices
           of federal agencies,    such as the USDA.

                 3.    Allocating State and Federal Funds

                 Funding sources for implementing nonpoint source control
           programs are listed in Chapter VII.         Some of the sources make
           funding available for planning activities while others provide
           cost-sharing assistance for implementation of best management
           .practices.    Certain funding is available to address specific
           nonpoint sources while some money can be used for any source.

                ,The state Nonpoint Source Water Pollution Control program will
           provide cost-sharing assistance to correct nonpoint source
           pollution problems. Funding for non-agricultural projects will be
           administered by DEC, while funding for agricultural projects will
           be handled by the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee.
           Each agency is authorized to promulgate regulations regarding the
           cost-sharing program. Those regulations will set the requirements
           for the program.

                 DEC will work with state and federal agencies that have
           funding available to emphasize priority waterbodies. The inventory
           of priority waterbodies, required by the Nonpoint Source Water
           Pollution Control program, will be distributed to interested
           groups.

                 The allocation of funding to nonpoint source management
           activities will     be part of this management activity.              The
           availability of . state    and federal funding will determine the
           magnitude of the    nonpoint source effort.      Allocation of funding
           will be based on priorities for program action. This will apply
           bot@ to direction   of personnel and funding in support of watershed
           programs.

                 If local governments want to pursue a nonpoint source problem
          .with  their own funding, they will be encouraged to follow guidance
           from  the state program. The selection of watersheds and management
           practices are the primary areas where consistency is needed.

                 4.   Initiatincf Programs

                 Watershed programs, particularly those dealing with small
           drainage areas, will be initiated at the local level. Successful
           identification and installation of [email protected] practices must be
           preceded by planning. The planning process. should include a public
           participation element.

                 DEC will encourage the development of watershed programs          by
           publicizing the Nonpoint Source Program. In cooperation with the
           State Soil and Water@Conservation Committee, county SWCDs will be
           made aware that program support is available.           Also, DEC will
           provide the current list of targeted watersheds to those federal
           agencies   with. nonpoint source programs and encourage them to
           address priority watersheds. Periodic interagency meetings will
           be held to discuss and coordinate programs at the pre-proposal
           stages.

                 5.   Monitoring and Evaluatinct Programs

                 As   part    of   its    overall    water    quality     management
           responsibility, DEC will incorporate monitoring to track progress
           of watershed programs into its assessment program.            To acquire
           information for documenting water quality improvements over the
           years, the Division of Water will conduct water quality monitoring
           programs that focus both on small watershed efforts and river basin
           concerns.

                 The Division of Water will also provide guidance to other
           agencies to perform monitoring.          Because of the. complex and
           episodic nature of nonpoint source pollution, expertise is needed
           in the proper collection of water quality monitoring data and
           interpretation of results in terms of cause and effect.                 if
           monitoring is conducted by an outside agency, the verification
           scheme must be approved by DEC. The scheme must be subject to the
           same scientific principles and data quality assurance procedures
           that apply to all sampling and monitoring carried out by DEC.

                 To maintain public support for adequate funding of the
           nonpoint source program, it is vital that the program be able to



                                             V-12






           demonstrate  explicitly   its  effectiveness   in   restoring   and
           maintaining water quality to support designated uses.

           C.   Watershed Program Imple mentation Procedure

                The watershed planning process is a sequence of steps which
           lead to successful implementation of a nonpoint source control
           program for a specific watershed.     It is a logical series of
           elements which progresses from establishment of improvement
           objectives through the implementation of resource management
           systems and to the documentation of water quality-results. There
           must be a cooperation between planning agencies, implementers and
           land owners/users. The basic components of the watershed planning
           process are described below.

                1.   Identification of Lead Actency

                For any specific watershed project, a lead agency must be
           established to supervise implementation of the program.          In
           general, the geographic jurisdiction of the agency should include
           the entire drainage area of the targeted waterbody. Thus, for a
           small watershed project, a local water quality agency such -as a
           county soil and water conservation district could be the lead. For
           a major river basin effort, a state or federal agency could be
           appropriate unless a regional agency with management capability
           exists or is created for the purpose. At all levels of scale, an
           alternative would be an interagency group created to focus on a
           specific watershed or basin project.

                The lead agency would have the.responsibility of identifying
           the various interests needed for participation in the program and
           establishing procedures for efficiently carrying out the process.

                2.   Initiation of Public Participation Process

                General public awareness of the problems and a broad base of
           support for control measures will increase the chance of success
           for a watershed management plan. Effective implementation requires
           involvement by local decision makers and their constituents in the
           problem identification and watershed planning process.

                Initiating the public participation process early in the
           program development phase may increase the acceptance of the
           control program eventually recommended.

                3.   Watershed Planning

                     a.   Identify Problems and Opportunities for Improvement
                          and Protection

                The  first step in the planning process is to verify the
           existence of the water quality problems and threats identified in
           the assessment.      Any other impacts identified during the
           verification process should also be confirmed.     Identifying the

           pollutants of concern and the sources then follows. Estimating the
           relative contribution of the sources present and establishing
           pollutant reduction goals are    *the next steps. These steps will be
           the responsibility of the lead agency with guidance from DEC and
           cooperation from other appropriate agencies.

                            i.    Confirm Water Quality Status and Use         Impacts
                                  or Threats

                 Before initiating a detailed planning process-for any          hydro-
           logic unit, there must be a verification of the problem or threats.
           A water quality problem exists only where a classified use is
           affected. Until the impact on or threat to the use is confirmed,
           no detailed planning efforts should be undertaken.

                 For segments where water quality monitoring data exists, the
           first step of the verification will be to collect and analyze the
           data to determine if they support the information previously
           provided. For many segments no monitoring data will exist. Water
           quality monitoring might be required on some segments.              Certain
           types of impacts might be confirmed using other information. For
           example, fish surveys might be sufficient to demonstrate a fish
           survival impairment. Any water quality sampling must conform to
           the sampling handling protocol and data quality assurance technique
           used by DEC.

                            ii.      Determine Existing and Potential Pollutants

                 The next step toward developing a watershed management program
           is to determine the pollutants of concern. To some extent, this
           ,may be evident from the nature of the use impairment or threat
           identified above but it may also require water quality studies to
           resolve.         iii.    Assess the Watershed and Contributing Sources

                 Water quality problems resulting from nonpoint sources are
           frequently caused by more than one source.                Therefore, the
           implementation program may need to - address several                 source
           categories to achieve water quality improvements.            The planning
           process must assess the entire watershed and estimate the relative
           contributions from all sources of pollution.

                 The f irst step is to construct a map of the watershed with all
           known point and nonpoint sources plotted.          Land uses should also
           be shown on the map.         Overlays might be developed which show
           factors such as the depth to bedrock, erosion potential, soil type
           and slope. These would be useful in identifying potential nonpoint
           source delivery areas. Field reconnaissance should be conducted
           to ver.ify watershed characteristics shown on the map.

                          iv. Estimate Contributions from Nonpoint and Point
                               Sources

                A control program which addresses only the primary source will
          often be insufficient to improve water quality. However, it may
          not be feasible or desirable to address all nonpoint sources which
          exist in a watershed. An effort to estimate the contribution from
          each source is needed*before selection of implementation options.

                Use of available studies and water quality monitoring       data
          will provide some information about the contribution of sources.
          In many cases, mathematical and/or computerized models that relate
          land use to nonpoint source water quality.impacts can be used to
          estimate the relative impacts.         Models should be based on
          continuous simulation of hydrologic conditions and should be
          sensitive to storm event periods.      Additionally, they should be
          capable of relating water quality conditions to specific sources
          in a watershed or on the land surfaces.           The modeling and
          monitoring studies must be able to establish the linkage between
          pollutants generated by the sources -and impacts to water quality
          observed in the waterbody.

                The results of monitoring data and modeling studies can be
          used in conjunction with the watershed profile map to identify
          critical nonpoint source areas..         They will also help in
          establishing a priority among the sources that need to be addressed
          in the implementation plan.

                     b.   Establish Water Quality Goals and   Determine Needed
                          Pollutant Reductions Objectives

                The basic water quality objectives to be met by the watershed
          management program are provided by the classifications of the
          waterbodies in the watershed. These specify the uses to be
          protected and the associated water quality needs.       They are the
          basis for determining..the degree of impairment.

                Pollutant reductions needed to meet the water quality
          objectives must be established. These reduction goals could then
          be translated into areas needing treatment to control specific
          substances found in runoff or into other suitable parameters for
          planning. At thi-S point in the process, design of a water quality
          monitoring system to document changes in the receiving  I waterbodies
          may be appropriate.

                     C.   Identify Alternative Management Practices or other
                          Control Measures

                After identifying the sources or source categories of concern
          and the needed pollutant reductions, the next step is,to consider
          the control options which are available to achieve these
          reductions.

                An analysis of management practices which might be used should
          be conducted. The mix of practices which should be implemented to





                                           V-15







          achieve the water quality goals must be determined.        Additional
          model studies might be required before "best" management practices
          are selected.    An analysis of. practice effectiveness and cost
          should be factored into determining the best practice.

                    d.    Identify Funding and Programs Currently Available
                          to Support Implementation

               In this step of the process, the reality of resources         and
          programs available at the time of implementation must be determined
          to develop a program plan with maximum opportunity for success.
          Federal, state and local funding sources should all be examined.

                    e.    Select Alternatives for the Plan

               Here the program plan for the watershed.     comes together by
          drawing on steps c. and d. above. By combining considerations of
          what practices are needed with what funding is available, a
          proposal for a watershed implementation program    can be developed..

               To assure that all involved understand the implementation
          program, the measures and controls to be adopted, the responsible
          parties and the schedule for implementation must be documented.
          This implementation program will be the basis for review and
          approvals by other supporting agencies. Before proceeding further
          with implementation, all interjurisdictional and interagency
          agreements must be established.     These agreements could involve
          defining cooperative tasks, establishing funding arrangements or
          clarifying responsibilities.

               The plan would be provided to DEC and others for review at
          this point.   Further public participation efforts at this stage
          would also be appropriate.

               4.   Implementation of Plan

               The lead agency proceeds with the implementation of the
          approved plan; providing for technical assistance and utilizing
          funding as specified in the plan. The lead agency would also be
          responsible,for reporting progress.

               5.   Monitoring and Follow-up

               The lead agency, along with cooperating agencies, would
          provide for monitoring of results of the work and follow-up to
          ensure maintenance of the installed measures.       Effects on water
          quality would be documented and need for mid-course corrections in
          the plan be identified.

               The procedure summarized above will be re      peated for each
          targeted watershed or hydrologic unit which progresses through
          implementation. The resources and effort devoted to each step in
          the process will vary from watershed to watershed. Such factors
          as the degree of verification of problems, the knowledge of water


                                          V-16






          quality and the sources impacting water uses, and the ease of
          selecting and implementing best management practices will affect
          the emphasis placed on each step.

                A fundamental requirement of all watershed programs is the
          establishment and maintenance of public participation throughout
          the implementation program.     If the people who will enjoy the
          benefits of a watershed program and who will be called upon to
          contribute to the implementation of the program, understand the
          nature of the problem and participate in finding a solution, then
          the program has a better chance of being successful.

          D.     Additional Program Needs

                The series of steps outlined in this chapter are the basic
          building blocks  of the watershed planning process for controlling
          nonpoint source  pollution. Some of the methodology, particularly
          the analyses of  the source/contribution/water quality effects and
          the cost-effectiveness of alternate management practices nay
          require, sophisticated monitoring and modeling techniques. Research
          and demonstration projects are needed to test various methodologies
          in a watershed with documented water quality problems.

                                       CHAPTER VI


                              IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE FOR
                           NONPOINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM


                  Nonpoint source pollution management 'is a complex issue.
          Numerous land uses and activities are considered nonpoint sources.
          A nonpoint source problem is often the result of a variety of land
          uses and many individual sources distributed diffusely over a wide
          area. Control of nonpoint source pollution by a single program is
          not,.feasible.

                  Nonpoint sources are usually best controlled by modifying
          activities, practices or operations on the land or by changing land
          use activities. These modifications can be achieved in many ways
          including    regulation,   financial    incentives   and     voluntary
          compliance. Since many programs already exist that play a role in
          controlling nonpoint source pollution, it is essential that the
          management program recognize those efforts and build on to them
          wherever possible.

               . Numerous state agencies have programs that address nonpoint
          sources.   DEC has programs within several of its divisions that
          deal with sources or their effects. The Divisions of Water, Air,
          Lands and Forests, and Mineral Resources are among those that have
          programs related- to nonpoint source pollutants.         Other state
          agencies with related programsinclude the Department of Health,
          the Department of State, the Department of Transportation, the
          Adirondack Park Agency, and the State Soil and Water Conservation
          Committee.

                  County Soil and Water Conservation  Districts play a key role
          across the state in managing several types of nonpoint sources.
          Many counties also have programs in their health department and
          planning department that deal with nonpoint sources. Town planning
          boards and code enforcement officers also address certain nonpoint
          sources.   Many County Cornell Cooperative Extension Associations
          are involved in educational work related to water quality
          management.

                  This entire report describes methods and recommendations for
          dealing with nonpoint source pollution in New York. Several of the
          chapters describe processes to be used to handle certain aspects
          of the problem. Chapter II describes the process for enhancement
          of the list of state waters affected by nonpoint sources.
          Chapter V outlines a watershed program implementation p      rocedure.
          Chapter VIII establishes a review process to assure that federal
          programs are consistent with the state's nonpoint source program.

                  The majority of the. recommendations for programs to control
          nonpoint sources are contained in Chapter IV.           That chapter

                                           VI-1







           discusses each source category, describes the existing programs
           which deal with the source and makes recommendations for additional
           program needs.


           A. 'Implementation Schedule

                This chapter is intended to meet the requirements of Section
           319 (b) (2) (c) of the Water Quality Act of 1987 which call for a
           program implementation schedule.    EPA guidance requires thatthe
           @anagement Program contain a 4-year program. The years outlined
           in the schedule are based on New York State fiscal years.
           Therefore, the First-Year refers to the period from April 1, 1990-
           March 3i, 1991; the Second-Year is from April 1, 1991 - March 31,
           1992. The Third-Year is from April 1, 1992-March 31, 19934nd the
           Fourth-Year is from April 1, 1993-March 31, 1994.

                The commitment of staff or funding resources to water quality
           programs is an annual management process. With the year-to-year
           uncertainty in funding from both state and federal sources, DEC is
           not in a position to commit to performance objectives which depend
           on future budgets. Adjustments to the program may also be required
           annually based on changing priorities set during the Division of
           Water's management planning process.

                In addition, as stated above, control of nonpoint. source
           pollution will require cooperative efforts, from a number of
           federal, state and local agencies.        DEC has no control over
           priority setting or the budget process for these agencies and
           therefore, cannot make commitments for these other agencies.

                The   four-year    schedule   shown   below   is   taken    from
           recommendations made in Chapter IV. The recommendations are listed
           in the order that they appear in the chapter. They are not listed
           in any priority ranking.     The number to the left of each item
           refers to the section of Chapter IV that contains the specific
           recommendation.   An evaluation of the effectiveness of the many
           components of this schedule should be performed at the end of the
           four year program.
                @fter each item on the schedule, the suggested lead agency or
           agencies are listed.        The abbreviations are explained on
           Table VI-1.   in many cases, other agencies will also have a role
           in implementing a specific recommendation.       In many cases, the
           activity listed is a program development activity and the agency
           listed will have a lead role for that phase. Cooperation of local
           agencies such as Soil and Water Conservation Districts.or County
           Health Departments will be required for the eventual implementation
           of many _of these programs.    organizations such as the New York
           State Association of Conservation Districts and the Soil and Water
           Conservation Society will also be called on to assist in
           implementation efforts.

                                      CHAPTER VII


                       SOURCES OF FUNDING AVAILABLE TO IMPLEMENT
                               NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAMS



               Numerous agencies (local, state, federal) have programs and
          funds for the treatment, management or control of nonpoint sources.
          Some programs focus directly on nonpoint source control while
          others advance water quality as a side benefit.       Some of these
          programs have funds which are available for distribution to other
          agencies, organizations and land users to plan and/or implement
          nonpoint source water pollution control measures.

               The focus of this chapter is to identify the limited sources
          of available funding for implementation of nonpoint source control
          programs.   It will identify available program funds which are
          dedicated or may be redirected to nonpoint source water quality
          activities. Further information about programs listed is available
          in Chapter V of the Nonpoint Source Assessment Report (February,
          1989). A matrix provided as Appendix D, assesses the existing and
          potential support for nonpoint source control and prevention from
          the programs listed in the Assessment Report.

          A.   Funding Sources.in the water Ouality Act   of 1987

               There are several nonpoint source          funding mechanisms
          identified in the Water Quality Act of 1987 in  addition to,Section
          319 (Nonpoint Source Management Programs). The federal financial
          assistance is provided to states to carry out the legislative
          intent. In New York, the programs are administered by DEC which
          has been designated as the state's lead water quality agency.

                     1.   General Sources of Funding

                          a.   Section 106 - Pollution Control Programs

               Grants are available to states for the cost of developing and
          carrying out a pollution control program. The amount available for
          each state is the reasonable cost of the program as determined by
          EPA or the allotment for the state, whichever amount is lesser.
          All water pollution control programs, including the nonpoint source
          program, are eligible for funding under this section.     The funds
          available in New York were $4.17 million in FFY 19890.)

               Most of the activities carried out by the Division of Water
          are eligible for funding under this section. These funds were not
          used for the nonpoint source program since they were needed to
          support other activities mandated by federal law.

               FFY 1989 refers to the federal fiscal year     which began on
               October 1, 1988 and ended on September 30, 1989.


                                         VII-1








                     b.   Section 201(g)(1) - Governor's 20% Discretionary

                These resources are available for any purpose for which a
           grant may be made under Sections 319(h) and 319(i) (including any
           innovative and alternate approaches for the control.of nonpoint
           sources of pollution) provided that no more than 2 *0% of the state.
           Section 205 allotment for construction of wastewater facilities may
           be used for this purpose.    Based on the federal allocation, the
           maximum amount available for nonpoint source control under this
           provision was $20.6 million in FFY 1989.

                However, due to an overwhelming demand for increased and
           improved facilities to control and manage point sources, it is
           unlikely that any portion of these funds will be apportioned to
           nonpoint source planning and management.

                     C.   Section 205(g) - Administration of Construction
                          Grants Program

                Grants are available to  states, that have been delegated the
           authority to administer thesections  of the Act that implement the
           construction grants program (Sections 201, 203, 204 and 212). The
           amount of the grant may be up to the reasonable . cost of
           administering the program.     Water quality planning activities
           including the nonpoint source program are eligible for funding
           under this program.   The funds available in New York were $5.36
           million in FFY 1989.

                It is unlikely that money appropriated under this funding will
           be used for the nonpoint program since the funds are already
           committed to administer the Construction Grants Program.

                     d    Section   205(ij(2)  - Water Quality Management-
                          Planning

                Grants are available to states for determining the nature,
           extent and causes of water quality problems in the state and for
           identifying the most cost-effective facility and nonpoint measures
           to meet and maintain water quality standards.     Up to 1% of the
           funds allocated to the state under Section 205 are available for
           these subsections. The total funds available under this Section
           in New York were $1..03 million in FFY 1989.     However, Congress
           mandates that 40% of these funds (or $412,000 in FFY 1989) be
           passed through to local planning agencies.       This pass-through
           funding is described in section e. on the next page. The $518,000
           which remains is used to accomplish administrative functions.

                Many of the activities of the Division of Water, including the
           nonpoint source program, are eligible for funding under this
           section. However, the 60% administrative funds are not presently
           used for the nonpoint source program.

                           Section 205(i)(3) -.Pass-Throucih Funding

                Under this  section, at least 40%,of grants provided to states
           under Section 205(j) (1) must be allocated to regional public
           planning organizations for water quality management planning
           activities *   This allocation is being used to fund a number of
           projects in New York including several which are related to the
           nonpoint source program.     Among the projects that were funded in
           New York in FFY 1988 and 1989 are the following:

                Funding for these projects which address nonpoint sources of
           surface water and groundwater total more than $1 million for FFY
           1989.     It is anticipated that five projects dealing with
           groundwater protection will be funded for FFY 1990.

                      f.   Section 205(j)(@) - Nonnoint Source Reserve

                Up to 1% of the funds available under Section 205 can be set-
           aside for carrying out Section 319 of the CWA. This is in addition
           to the 1% set-aside under Section 205(j)(1). These funds may be
           used for: program development, implementation of the nonpoint


                                             VII-3







           source management program and implementation of groun          .dwater
           protection activities., Section 205 (j) (5) funds used for program
           development require no match while funds used for implementation
           of NPS management program require a 40% non-federalcontribution.
           Section 205(j) (5) funds utilized for groundwater protection require
           50% non-federal contribution. Funds available for NPS in New York
           @ere $1.03 million in FFY 1989. The emphasis of Section 205 (j) (5)
           is on planning and management. This is the primary funding source
           used in the nonpoint source program in New York.

                      9-   Section 603 (c) (2) - State Water Pollution Control
                           Revolving Funds

                This section establishes the State Water Pollution Revolving
           Loan Fund (SRF) and authorizes federal funds' to capitalize the
           State SRFs. SRF funds may be used for construction of publicly-
           owned treatment works, implementation of state nonpoint source
          .management programs, as well as development and implementation of
           state estuary conservation and manag  ement plans. Funds have been
           allocated and $105.1 million has been set-aside to capitalize New
           York's program.

                New York State legislation signed in 1989 created the New York
           State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund.       This legislation
           was the necessary first step in making the federal allocation
           available for use in New. York.      The Federal Act authorizes an
           additional $770 million over the next five years, although annual
           appropriations could turn out to be 1   ess.

               .DEC has compiled a list of known projects that will need
           financing over the next decade.      The list totals $9.0 billion.
           With anticipated federal grants and state matching funds, the
           maximum amount available is only $1.05 billion. Through financial,
           leveraging, DEC estimates that about $4 billion in projects can be
           financed by the end of this century. Since the available funding
           is less than half the money needed for known proje        .cts, it is
           unlikely that a significant amount will be available for nonpoint
           source projects through this fund.

                      h.   Section 604(b)    Funds for-PlanninQ

                Up to 1% of the funds allotted to the state under this section
           are available to carry out planning activities under Sections
           205 (j) and 303 (e) of the Act. The total funds available in New York
           under this Section were $1.03 million in FFY 1989.

                Many of the activities of the Division of Water,including the
           nonpoint source program, are eligible for funding under this
           section.    However, the funds are not presently used for the
           nohpoint source program.

                 2.    Targeted Sources of Funding

                       a.   Section 104(b)  (3) - Research Grants

                 EPA   is funding grants under the authorities of Section
           104(b) (3) of the Clean Water Act, Sec't-ion 8001 of the Resource
           Conservation and Recovery Act, Section 1C3 of the Clean Air Act,
           Section 10 of the Toxic Substances Control Act and Section
           1442 (b) (3) (c) of the Safe Drinking Water Act. These grants support
           pollution prevention programs that address the. reduction of
           pollutants across all environmental media: air, surface water,
           land, groundwater and wetlands.         The conc,2pt being encouraged.
           through these grants is that further improvemcnts in environmental
           quality will be best achieved by preventinc the generation of
           potentially      harmful   pollutants.         Source    reduction      and
           environmentally sound recycling practices are the means recommended
           to achieve this goal. This concept ties into S-:@ction 104 through
           theconcept that research projects to prevent, r,-duce or eliminate
           pollution may be funded.

                 Grants awarded for FFY 1989 totaled $3.8 million. EPA expects
           to make at least ten grant awards in amounts not to exceed $300,000
           during FFY 1990. organizations awarded funds will be required to
           contribute at least 10% of the total cost of the pi:,jects. State
           and interstate agencies are eligible to apply for fLnding.

                       b.   Section 118 - Great Lakes

                 To help meet the goals of the Great Lakes 1,17a er Quality
           Agreement of 1978, this section continues the Great L&k s National
           Program Of f ice (GLNPO) , establishes the Great Lakes Rese@_ rch Of f ice
           within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administ-ration, and
           provides funds to states to improve water quality within the Great
           Lakes basin. Distrib    'ution of appropriated funds will be; 40% for
           the GLNPO for demonstration projects on the feasil.,i'ity- of
           controlling and removing toxic wastes, 7% for the GLNPc for a
           nutrient monitoring program and 30% for the Great Lakes RLsearch
           Office. Nationwide authorized funding is $11 million per year for
           FFY 1987 through 1991.

                       C.   Section 314(b) - Clean Lakes Survey

                 This section requires biennial preparation of a report
           identifying all publicly-owned lakes in the state.

                 The report must classify lakes according to trophic conditi..1n
           and list lakes in the state known.to be impaired. It must descr_U:@
           procedures to control pollution sources and restore water qual.Jit,
           in impaired lakes.         The report must also list methods and
           procedures used to mitigate th     'e harmful effects of high acidity.
           Finally, it must include an assessment of the status and trends of
           water quality in lakes. . New York received $649,000 in FFY 1989
           through this program.

            water quality in lakes.. New York received $649,000 in FFY 1989
            through this program.

                       d.   Section 314(d) - Clean Lakes Demonstration Projects

                 This subsection establishes.a demonstration program to develop
            cost-effective technologies for the control of nonpoint sources of
            pollution. The funding can also be used to demonstrate techniques
            for the removal of contaminated lake sediments and to prevent the
            deposit of sedimentin lakes. Beginning in FFY 1987, $40 million
            was authorized nationwide to carry out this subsection. The money
            was to be available until expended.

                       e.. Section 320 - National Estuary Progra

                 This  provides funding for attainment or maintenance of water
            quality in designated estuaries.           Estuaries given priority
            consideration include: Long Island Sound, New York-New Jersey
            Harbor and Delaware Bay. Funds are available to state, interstate
            and r;gional water pollution control agencies, coastal zone
            management a .gencies as well as institutions and organizations.

                 Grants under this program are available for research, surveys,
            studies or modeling necessary for the development of a management
            plan for the estuary.. Grants may not exceed 75% of the total cost
            of the research project.       Funding f or  this aspect of the Long
            Island Sound was $1.4 million for FFY        1989.   The New York-New
            Jersey Harbor has proposed one study        to. assess loadings fron
            atmospheric deposition, resuspension of      sediments and stormwater
            discharges and another to evaluate best      management practices and
            stormwater tontrols in a small watershed     during FFY 1990.

                 B.    Other Funding Sources

                       1.   NYSDEC    Hazardous Substances Bulk Storacie

                 This  preventive management program regulates the construction
            and operation of hazardous chemical bulk storage facilities. The
            program includes both petroleum bulk storage and chemical bulk
            storage.   Each of these have their own regulations.          There are
            1,000 hazardous substances listed in 'DEC regulations that are
            subject to the chemical bulk storage program.            The hazardous
            substance bulk storage fund was created from storage facility
            registration fees.      The annual authorized spending from this
            program has remained at $2.139 million for the last few years. In
            addition, -$315,800 comes from federal UST funds to finance this
            program.

                    2.    USDA - Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation
                          Service

                          a.   Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP)

                               i.   Basic Program

               This preventive implementation program provides financial
          assistance to farmers to install soil and water conservation
          practices which contribute to the reduction of agriculturally
          related nonpoint sources. Federal cost sharing can be as high as
          75% of the cost of the practice (80% for an approved low income
          producer). The amount budgeted in New York in FFY 1989 was $4.5
          million.

                               ii.  Special Projects

               This is a remedial imp lementation program. There is a portion
          of the annual national ACP budget set-aside for water quality
          projects.   The program, administered by ASCS, provides financial
          assistance to farmers within approved watershed areas to install
          soil and water conservation practices that contribute to the
          reduction of agriculturally related nonpoint sources.           These
          special project funds are distributed to areas through a national
          competitive procedure. Project applications are initiated at the
          local level. The amount awarded for projects in New York during
          FFY 1989 was $0,.6 million.

               The ASCS program in New York also reserves a portion of their
          annual ACP allocation for state special projects. These projects
          are selected through a state competitive procedure.           Project
          applications are initiated at the local level.       Improvement of
          water quality is included in the acceptable goals of these
          projects.   In FFY 1989, $.15 million was awarded for projects
          through this program.

                          b.   Food Security Act

               This is  a preventive implementation program with regulatory
          aspects.    Public Law 93-198 was enacted to stabilize food
          production and to protect soil and water resources.         The law
          contains five provisions, two of which offer funding opportunities.

                               i.   Conservation Reserve Program'

               This program allows USDA to enter long-term contracts with
          landowners.   In return for financial incentives, the landowner
          agrees to  remove highly erodible land and streambanks from crop
          production and to control soil erosion by establishing long-term
          grass and tree cover. Cost share assistance is available for up
          to 50% of the cost of establishing permanent protective cover on
          the highly erodible land under contract. Through the first eight
          signups, a total of 50,500 acres of highly erodible cropland has
          been placed under contract.       Annual rental payments, for the

           signups, a total of 50,500 acres of highly ero  dible cropland has
           been placed under contract,      Annual rental payments for the
           contracted acres equals $2.8 million.      Cost-sharing assistance
           through this program for FFY 1989 was on the order of $.2 million.

                                ii. Conservation Easements

                This program allows the     Farmers Home Administration to
           partially cancel loans that are in or near default, in exchange for
           the placement of highly erodible land and wetland and fragile land
           in long-term (50 year) conservation, recreation or wildlife use.
           The dollar value of,this program is not readily available.

                          C.   Forestry Incentive Program

                This preventive   implementation program p  rovides financial
           assistance to encourage landowners to plant trees on suitable open
           land and to improve existing stands of trees. Federal cost sharing
           through*this program can be as high as 65%. The amount allocated
           to New York for this program during FFY 1989 was $63,000.

                3.   USDA - Soil Conservation Service

                     a.   Emergency Watershed Protection Prog  ram

                This is a remedial implementation program.         Under this
           program! P.L. 95-334, SCS is authorized to expend- funds for
           necessary emergency measures to protect life and public property
           threatened by a natural occurrence.       Technical and financial
           assistance is available to units of       government to stabilize
           streambanks eroded by natural disasters. Funding is authorized by
           Congress as needed.

                     b. . Watershed Protection and  Flood Prevention

                This is a remedial implementation   program for watersheds of
           less than 250,000 acres. Authorized by   P.L. 79-566, this program
           focuses on the control of flooding and/or correction of water
           quality problems resulting from agriculture and hydrologic
           modification. Technical and financial assistance is available to
           landowners through the program. The amount budgeted for watershed
           activities-in New York in FFY 1989, was.$O.1 million.

                4.   NYS Department of State    Coastal-Zone Progra

                While this is primarily a planning program it does have a
           limited financial assistance aspect.     Communities with approved
           local government revitalization programs (LWRPs) can apply for
           Waterfront Implementation Grants.    These grants can be f or the
           study of a water quality problem or for the design and construction
           of solutions to the problem. There is a 50% matching requirement
           for these grants.

          C.   Potential Funding Sources

               It should be   apparent from this chapter that, at present,
          there are limited   funds available for address  ing water quality
          problems caused by nonpoint sources.        Major funding sources
          (Section 201(g)(1); Section 603(c)(2)) are being used to correct
          other high priority problems.    Sources directed specifically at
          nonpoint problems have limited funds available.        New funding
          sources must be developed that are specifically directed at
          nonpoint source problems.

               1.   NYS Nonpoint Source Water-Pollution Control Program

               Chapter 436 of New York State's Laws of 1989 established a
          state nonpoint source water pollution control program. The purpose
          of this law is to safeguard the waters of the state by controlling
          and abating new and existing sources of nonpoint source pollution.
          It establishes two grant programs.

               Both programs provide matching grants for up to 50% of the
          cost of implementation of best management practices in watersheds
          of priority wate'rbodies as identified by DEC.      one program is
          administered by DEC and is available for abatement of non-
          agricultural nonpoint source problems.      The other program is
          administered by the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee and
          is to be used to address agricultural nonpoint source problems.

               The law did not provide an appropriation sufficient to
          establish the cost-sharing program. Funding will be needed to.make
          this a viable option.

                                      CHAPTER VIII


                        INTERGOVERNMENTAL CONSISTENCY WITH THE
                             STATE NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM



               One requirement for the Management Program, based on Section
          319 of the Clean Water Act, is a listing of federal financial
          assistance programs and federal development projects which the
          state plans to review for their effect on water quality.          The
          purpose of this review is to determine whether such assistance or
          development projects are consistent with the state's nonpoint
          source program.

               There are several review mechanisms that can be used for
          federal projects. The primary opportunity is under the provisions
          of Executive Order 12372 which requires f   'ederal agencies to make
          changes in response to the concerns of a state program.           The
          National   Environmental   Policy Act provides      another, review
          opportunity to consider federal actions. However, federal projects
          make up a small percentage of construction that occurs in the state
          each year. State agencies and local governments approve numerous
          actions which can have significant environnental impacts..        The
          State Environmental Quality Review Act provides an opportunity to
          assure that many of these actions    are consiste.nt with the state
          nonpoint source program.

               The purpose of this chapter is to describe the existing review
          opportunities and explain how        the consistency requirement
          provisions will be applied to the nonpoint source program.         it
          outlines the criteria that will be   applied in the review process.,

               A.    Intergovernmental Review  of Federal Prolects

               Presidential Executiv e Order 12372, issued in 1983, requires
          federal agencies to follow the process that the state establishes
          for reviewing prospective applications for federal aid. It also
          says that federal agencies should make efforts to accommodate state
          and local concerns about proposed projects.

               Under EO 12372, appropriate    agencies and departments of the
          federal government are required to accommodate the concerns that
          the state may express.         Used in this context, the term
          "accommodate" means that "any project proposed to be developed by
          a federal agency or for which, any person is seeking assistance must
          be in conformance with state views, policies, regulations and laws.
          If a state objects to any aspect of a proposed project, then that
          aspect must be modified to reflect the views communicated by the





                                         VIII-1







           state"      If a federal agency cannot accommodate the state's
           concerns,  it must explain why it cannot do so.

                Accordingly, the New York State Intergovernmental Review
           Process was established on October 30, 1984, by Gubernatorial
           Executive Order No. 51.      The state's Division of Budget was
           designated as the State Clearinghouse to administer the project
           review process.

                      1.   Goals

                The goals of the review process include:

                a.    Providing    opportunities     for      intergovernmental
                      consultation on applications with a view toward
                      strengthening deficient proposals before they are
                      submitted to the appropriate federal agency for approval;

                b.    Fostering intergovernmental cooperation and coordination;

                C.    Avoiding duplication; a nd

                d.    Providing a for mal mechanism for the timely exchange of
                      information among the various levels of government on
                      proposals that will potentially affect them.

                      2.   Program Coverage

                Under Executive Order 12372, each stateis to determine which
           federal programs will be subject to the state's review process.
           There are numerous programs listed in the 1988 Catalog of Federal
           Domestic Assistance (CFDA) with the potential for taking actions
           that could contribute to nonpoint source pollution.        Review of
           individual applications is the best method for assuring consistency
           for some programs, but for others that is not feasible.       A more
           general method for review is needed for those other programs.

                The appropriate method for review of a specific program will
           be determined based on its nature.          Programs that involve
           significant construction activities of significant financial
           magnitude will be reviewed through the weekly project list compiled
           by the State Clearinghouse. For operational prograins such as those
           sponsored by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation
           Service and Cooperative Extension, reviewing individual project
           applications is not feasible. Memorandums of Understanding between
           DEC and key agencies will be used toachieve consistency with these
           programs.


                      Comments of Senator Durenberger of Minnesota speaking to
                      his understanding and interest in the enactment of the
                      federal consistency portions of Section 319 of the Clean
                      Water Act.   (Congressional Record, Senate, January 4,
                      1987).

                                          VIII-2






                Table VIII-1 lists the eligible federal programs that will be
          reviewed for consistency with the nonpoint source program.         The
          extent of review for individual projects will be based on the
          likelihood that a project will have a significant impact on water
          quality. The nature of the review process will also be determined
          by the number of staff available to perform the reviews.

                Most of the programs shown on Table VIII-1 are.      curre  ntly
          included in the New York State Intergovernmental Review Process.
          Arequest to add programs that are not included will be sent to the
          State Clearinghouse.     As the nonpoint source program develops,
          additional programs may be added to the review process. Programs
          will be added to the list when it is determined that they are
          having a major impact on water quality.

                As discussed above, review of individual applications is not
          feasible for some programs. Memorandums of Understanding between
          DEC and the appropriate federal agency will be developed in these
          instances.   The following are federal agencies with which this
          method will be used to assure consistency with the nonpoint source
          program:

                Department of Agriculture:
                     - Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service;
                     - Extension Service (administered by Cornell
                         Cooperative Extension);
                     - Soil Conservation Service.

                Department of Interior: Geological Survey


                     3.   Review Coordination

                State-level review is coordinated by the State Clearinghouse.
          All federal agencies with notification responsibilities and all
          applicants for federal assistance under covered programs are
          instructed to transmit notifications of interest to: New York State
          Clearinghouse, Division of the Budget, State Capitol, Albany, NY
          12234.


                Local review outside of New York City is coordinated by
          regional planning boards where they exist, and through county
          governments, in those counties not falling within the jurisdiction
          of a regional planning board.      In New York City, the review is
          coordinated by the Mayor's Office.

                     4.   Notification And Review Process

                Federal agencies subject to the review process that propose
          to undertake any direct development activity within New York State

                                                                        VIII-5







           must inform the State Clearinghouse. The agency must also inform
           prospective applicants of their obligation to provide a timely
           notification of intent to  the State Clearinghouse. Notification
           procedures for applicants  are described in the "Draft Procedural
           Guideline Governing New York State Intergovernmental Review
           Process". 2

                Upon receipt of a notification of intent, the State
           Clearinghouse determines whether it constitutes a reviewable
           project.  on a weekly basis, the State Clearinghouse compiles a
           summary of reviewable. project notifications received during the
           prior week.   This list is sent to all state review agencies,
           including the NYSDEC.

                As a general rule, the deadline for receipt of review comments
           is 30 days after the date on which the list is distributed, but the
           State Clearinghouse reserves the right to alter this period. The
           time period can be extended if any review agency notifies the
           Clearinghouse that it requires   .more time to evaluate potential
           problems with a proposal or to negotiate revisions with an
           applicant. in all cases, however, final action on a proposal must
           occur no later than 60 days after its inclusion on the broadcast
           list.

                At the end of the review period, both the State Clearinghouse
           and the appropriate substate review coordinator directly notify
           each applicant of the outcome of the review.

                The substate review agency responds to the     Iapplicant with
           either: (a) a clearance letter, together with any informal comments
           it wants to communicate,* or (b) a notice that formal comments
           setting forth objections to the proposal have been transmitted to
           the State Clearinghouse for its disposition.

                The State Clearinghouse responds to each applicant with
           either: (a) a clearance letter, together with any comments received
           from reviewing agencies; or (b) a notice that a recommendation has
           been sent to the federal funding agency.

                Federal agencies are advised to look for the Sta              te
           Clearinghouse response as evidence that intergovernmental review
           procedures have been completed with respect to individual applica-
           tions or proposed projects.

                     5.   Role for DEC in the Intergovernmental Consistency
                          Review Process

                The following are steps that DEC's Division of Water (DOW)
           will take to facilitate the review of federal projects for
           consistency with the Nonpoint Source Management Program.

                      a.   DOW will review the weekly broadcast list.

                      b.   DOW will request through the State Clearinghouse
                           that eligible federal programs in Table viii-1
                           currently not covered in the intergovernment review
                           process be added to the list of those covered.

                      C.   DOW will designate project review coordinators in
                           Central and Regional Offices.

                      d.   DOW will develop project review criteria.

                      e.   bow will review project proposals to assure
                           consistency with the no.npoint source program.

                B.    State Environmental Ouality Review

                The State   Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR), which
           became effective June 1, 1976, provides an additional opportunity
           for ensuring consistency with the Nonpoint Source Management
           Program.    The basic purpose of SEQR is to incorporate the
           consideration of factors into the existing planning, review -and
           decision-making process of state, regional and local government
           agencies at the earliest possible time.  3 To accomplish this goal,
           SEQR requires that all agencies determine whether the actions they
           directly undertake, fund or approve may have a significant effect
           on the environment, and if they do, prepare or request an
           environmental impact statement.

                No agency is to carry out, fund or approve an action until it
           has complied with the provisions of,SEQR. No physical alteration
           related to an action is to be commenced by a project sponsor, and
           an agency is not to issue a decision on any action that it know     s
           any other involved agency has determined may have a significant
           effect on the environment until a final EIS and.findings statement
           has been prepared.

                      1.   Actions under SEQR

                Actions under SEQR include:

                a.    Approval or direct development of physical projects. For
                      example:

                           shopping centers
                           factories and office buildings
                           dredging
                           residential development,


                3     SEQR is applicable to all state and local agencies within
                      New  York State including all political subdivisions,
                      districts, departments, authorities, boards, commissions
                      and public benefit corporations.

                                          VIII-7






                          public buildings
                          gravel mines
                          roads
                          landfills

                b.   Planning activities that require    a government agency
                     decision. For example:

                            park development plans
                            formation of districts
                            land use plans

                C.   Adoption of agency rules, regulations, procedures and
                     policies. For example:

                            local zoning and planning
                            wetlands protection
                            publichealth regulations
                            handling of toxic wastes

                     2.   Determination of Significance

                To require an environmental impact statement (EIS) for a
           proposed action, the lead agency must determine that the action may
           include the potential for significant environmental effect.      For
           example, stormwater runo ff from a proposed subdivision or shopping
           plaza might have a significant environmental impact on a waterbody
           in terms of downstream flooding, water quality degradation and
           possible loss of fish and wildlife habitat.

                In making a determi nation of significance, the lead agency
           must:


                a.   consider the action as defined in Section 617.2(b) and
                     617.3(k) of the Rules and Regulations for SEQR;

                b.   identify relevant areas of environmental concern;

                c@,- thoroughly analyze the areas of environmental concern to
                     determine if the action may have a significant effect on
                     the envirorment;,and

                d.   set forth its determination of significance in a written
                     form containing a reasoned elaboration including
                     reference to any supporting documentation.

                     3.   Preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement

                All agencies are to prepare, or    cause an applicant (for a
           permit) to prepare an environmental impact statement on any action
           they propose or approve which may have a significant effect on the
           environment.   The purpose of the impact statement is to provide
           detailed information about the effect a proposed action is likely
           to have on the environment, to list ways in which any adverse


                                         VIII-8







           effects might be minimized, and to suggest alternatives to the
           action. The statement is used as the basis for a decision whether
           to undertake or approve the action.

                An environmental impact statement must include information
           setting forth the following:

                a.   a   description    of  the   proposed   action    and    its
                     environmental setting;

                b.   the environmental impact of the proposed action including
                     short-term and long-term effects;

                C.   any adverse environmental ef fects which cannot be avoided
                     should the proposal be implemented;

                d.   alternatives to the proposed action;

                e.   any irreversible commitments of resources which would be
                     involved in the proposed action should it be implemented,-

                f.   mitigation    measures    proposed    to    minimize     the
                     environmental impact;

                9.   the growth-inducing aspects of the proposed action, where
                     applicable and significant;

                h.   effects of the proposed action on the use and
                     conservation of energy resources, where applicable and
                     significant.

                     4.    Recommendations    for   Facilitating    Coordination
                           Between the Nonpoint Source Management Program and
                           the SEQR Process

                The following are recommended steps that DEC's DOW should take
           to facilitate coordination between the Nonpoint Source Management
           Program and the SEQR process:

                     a.    DOW to develop guidance documents on nonpoint source
                           pollution control standards of performance and BMPs
                           that can be used by agencies and/or project sponsors
                           to minimize, alleviate or mitigate the short- and
                           long-term water quality impacts associated with
                           proposed development projects or related actions.

                     b.    Nonpoint source management guidance documents to be
                           made available to assist state and local agencies,
                           and others outside government involved in the
                           construction industry in complying with SEQR.

                C.    Additional Review Mechanisms

                A number of other Programs exist which may be used to
           facilitate consistency between various actions and-the state's
           Nonpoint Source Program.

                      1.     Other Program Review opportunities

                Procedures have-been established to review proposed federal
           actions for their consistency with New York's Coastal Management
           Program.    The New York Department of State has a bureau that
           reviews about 1,000 federal actions each year to assure consistency
           with the programs.      When a local government adopts their own
           coastal, management program,       the   local   officials are then
           responsible for reviewing federal actions.

                The state is a parti   cipant in the National Estuary Programs
           for  Long Island Sound and the New York-New Jersey Harbor.
           Section 320 of the Water Quality Act of 1987, which establishes the
           National Estuary Program, provides the authority for review of
           federal financial assistance programs and federal development
           projects to assure consistency with the estuary program.            This
           review would provide another opportunity to assure that federal
           actions are consistent with the state's nonpoint source management
           program.
                The National Environmental Policy Act'' s (NEPA Is) Environmental
           Assessneht/Environmental Impact Statement process can be a useful
           mechanism for identifying and tracking proposed federal development
           projects. Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) prepared for all
           major federal actions, as well as the environmental assessments
           prepared to determine the need for an EIS, should disclose the
           potential nonpoint source impacts of the action and therefore
           indicate the need for a review of consistency with New York's
           Nonpoint Source Program.

                      2.    Recomm.endat ions for Coordinating, Consistency Reviews

                The following are recommended steps that DEC's DOW should take
           to facilitate coordination between the Nonpoint Source Program and
           the Coastal Management Program, National Estuary Program and the
           NEPA process.

                      a.    DOW to provide guidance documents on nonpoint source
                            pollution control standards of performance and BMPs
                            to Coastal Management Program staff and National
                            Estuary Program staff for -use in consistency
                            reviews.

                      b.    DOW to    review Environmental Impact Statements
                            prepared under NEPA. DOW to provide sponsoring
                            agencies or applicants involved in preparing an EIS
                            with guidance documents on nonpoint source pollution
                            control standards of performance and BMPs.

                 D.   Prolect Review Criteria

                 Review criteria for the state Nonpoint Source Program will
           take  the form of:

                      consistency with established nonpoint source implementa-
                      tion priorities (as discussed in Chapter V);

                      specific performance standards or guidelines for specific
                      nonpoint source categories; and.

                      approved management practices for specific nonpoint
                      source categories.

                 Different performance standards (guidelines) and management
           practices will be used for each nonpoint source category.            The
           basis of authority for the standards and practices will also vary
           among the categories. For example, the standards for controlling
           leaks and spills have been promulgated as regulations f         'or the
           petroleum and hazardous chemical bulk storage programs.               In
           contrast, the guidelines for controlling urban runoff are contained
           in a Division of Water Technical and Operational Guidance Series
           Meno.


                 In addition to performance standards and BMPs, the following
           illustrative questions are intended to help guide the consistency
           review process:

                 1.   Does the project comply, or furnish reasonable assurances
                      of compliance with applicable federal, state and local
                      laws, regulations and ordinances?

                 2.   Is the project' consistent with state, areawide, and/or
                      local planning efforts?

                 3.   Is the project  likely to produce any significant     adverse
                      effects on the environment (e.g., does it             reflect
                      appropriate land use, prudent development and conserva-
                      tion of natural resources)?

                     PRIORITY CANDIDATES FOR WATERSHED PLANNING










                                         APPENDIX A



                Appendix A is a list of Waterbodies identified as having water
           quality problems with a nonpoint source (excluding atmospheric
           deposition and contaminated sediment) as the primary source. They
           have been grouped according to watershed.            The listing also
           includes waterbodies where the primary source is a point source or
           contaminated sediment or atmospheric deposition but there is a
           nonpoint source as the secondary source.

                The list was derived from the 1989 update of the Assessment.
           The data was collected using the process described in Section C of
           Chapter II of this report (pgs. 11-4 and 11-5.)

                There has been no verification of the data presented.           The
           degree of the water quality problem, as well as the pollutants and
           sources contributing to that problem, must be verified before the
           segments can be added to the Division's Priority Water Problem
           list.   The verification procedure was described in Section D of
           Chapter-II (pgs. 11-5 and 11-6).

                     EXISTING FUNDING  FOR NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAMS



                Chapter V of the Nonpoint Source Assessment Report identified
           58 programs with a role in controlling nonpoint source pollution
           in New York. All of these programs allocate funding or staff time
           to activities that reduce or prevent nonpoint source pollution.
           These programs and others subsequently identified are listed in the
           matrix which follows.

                Programs are classified, based on scope, into two categories,
           planning/management and implementation.        These are further
           classified into two subcategories, internal and external.         An
           internal activity is a program that basically supports the existing
           agency. An external designation means that the primary mechanism
           for carrying out the program is by assisting, educating or training
           organizations and/or individuals outside the program.

                An example of the matrix is as follows:

                In the matrix, three line's are used for each program. Line
           (1) identifies the program objective, line (2) indicates the
           relative magnitude, and line (3) shows the mode of operation of
           external programs.

                The entry for objective is a two-letter description which
           defines how the program addresses nonpoint sources and the area of
           application. objective is defined by a I'D" for direct and "I" for
           indirect. Program objective is further identified with a lisle   IIRII
           or IIWII to identify area of appicability:

                 Mode of operation of  external programs   is designated by either
           "TA" or a "$X/$X.        A  "TA" means no financial assistance is
           available; program funds    are for technical.assistance. Financial
           assistance is identified   by "$x/$x" and shows the amount the source
           agency requires the receiver to contribute -as a. condition of
           receiving the funds. A "$/$" shows a requirement that the grantee
           contribute one dollar for each dollar received; a 11$6/$411 shows a
           requirement that the grantee contribute four dollars for every six
           dollars received;      "$/$0" means source resources are available
           without a match.
