DEP announces $9 million in new streams and creeks improvement projects

NEW YORK – The New York City Department of Environmental Protection announced several stream improvement projects:

  • West Kill at County Route 6 – Lexington, Greene County: $2.4 million for channel relocation and grading; stream bank armoring; road reconstruction; and modifications to the storm drainage system along County Road 6 to address a segment of eroding bank.
  • West Kill at State Route 42 – Lexington, Greene County: $1.7 million for bank stabilization; widening the overly narrow floodplain; vegetating areas of failed slope and other measures to prevent future erosion of the stream channel’s right bank.
  • Stony Clove Creek at Chichester – Shandaken, Ulster County: $1.25 million to stop stream bank failure and reduce turbidity by stabilizing the stream channel.
  • Stony Clove Creek at Warner Creek Confluence – Shandaken, Ulster County: $1.5 million to stop stream bank failures and stream bank erosion.
  • Vly Creek at Fleischmanns – Middletown, Delaware County: $1.3 million to stabilize eroded streambanks and damaged retaining walls.
  • Dry Brook at Arkville Trailer Park – Middletown, Delaware County: $400,000 to stabilize areas of erosion, and the stream bank and flood plain will be reconstructed to their approximate pre-flood locations.
  • Warner Creek – Shandaken, Ulster County: $500,000 to stabilize an eroded hillside and stream bank that has exposed clay, as well as stabilize an actively eroding bank that is threatening Silver Hollow Road.

late June 2010

As June ended, the temperature rose to summer heights, and Chichester took on color: day lilies in their lush oranges, the sky in its cerulean blue, plants and trees and lawns in splendid green.
  The community grounds have recovered from the harsh winter.
Remains of last summer's bonfire: surely seasoned wood.
The swimming hole is ready.
But, the water level is down severely.
