Intermunicipal Planning for the Black & Oatka Creek Watersheds
The project includes preparation of watershed management plans for the Black Creek and Oatka Creek watersheds, two key tributaries of the Genesee River. Black Creek and Oatka Creek, which are 46 miles and 58 miles long, respectively, together drain an area of approximately 420 square miles across 28 municipalities and in parts of five counties. The Black Creek and Oatka Creek watershed management plans will identify and analyze the issues related to land and water use, including development, recreational uses (fishing, boating, swimming), tourism, drinking water supplies, irrigation, aesthetics, agricultural uses, industrial uses, and economic development. The process of developing the watershed plans will serve to build consensus among watershed municipalities, State agencies, non-governmental organizations and the public on short and long term actions needed to protect and restore water quality and quantity.
This project is being prepared for the New York State Department of State Division of Coastal Resources with funds provided under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.
