Water resource program activities
Mohawk Greenway Project
In cooperation with the NYS DEC, NYS DOT, Oneida County Department of Planning and many other agencies, HOCCPP developed a Comprehensive Greenway Plan for the Mohawk River Corridor within Oneida County.
Oneida County Water Resources Strategy
This is a comprehensive plan that identifies water resource priorities within the county; lists federal, state, and private sources of potential funding programs; and identifies key contacts and agencies within the water resources field.
Groundwater Monitoring Program
Although currently discontinued, this groundwater monitoring program evaluated and monitored drought conditions throughout the region. Monitoring points within each county were monitored regularly to provide a greater understanding of how the aquifers react to different conditions.
Local Wellhead Protection Studies
This is a study of twenty-one community water systems that rely exclusively on ground water as a source of supply. The study provides an in-depth inventory of resources and potential threats, defines multiple wellhead protection areas, and provides recommendations on wellhead protection alternatives.
Local Groundwater and Wellhead Protection Implementation Program
This report summarizes assistance in developing and implementing wellhead and/or groundwater protection regulations based on recommendations and information contained in the Local Wellhead Protection Study.
Oneida Lake Watershed Management Project
HOCCPP assisted the CNY RPDB in many aspects of the Oneida Lake Watershed Management planning project. The key elements of the project include the development of a State of the Basin Report and a Lake and Watershed Management Plan. HOCCPP provided technical assistance with the development of the plan framework, by-laws, and formation of the Oneida Lake Watershed Advisory Council, and GIS mapping.
