INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1 Introduction
C&S Engineers, Inc. (C&S) was retained by Upstate NY Power Corp (Upstate Power) to
prepare a wetlands delineation and report for the proposed Galloo Island Wind Farm
Project. The 1,986.5 acre project study area, located in the Town of Hounsfield,
Jefferson County, New York, is shown in the attached figures and plans. C&S performed
wetland, ordinary high water (OHW), and mean high water (MHW) delineations for the
project study areas. Plans showing the project study area, with the wetland, OHW, and
MHW boundaries identified have been attached as the Wetlands Delineation Plans (Sheet
WP1 and WP2). This report has been prepared to discuss the findings of the wetlands
and waterways identified and defined during the site investigation within the Galloo
Island project study area.

1.2 Project Description


Upstate NY Power Corp (Upstate Power) proposes to construct the Hounsfield Wind
Farm, a wind-powered electric generating facility on Galloo Island in the Town of
Hounsfield, Jefferson County, New York (Proposed Action or Project). The Proposed
Action will consist of the installation and operation of up to 84 wind turbine generators
(WTG) for the purpose of generating 268.8 Megawatts (MW) or less of electricity in the
Town of Hounsfield, Jefferson County. This also includes the construction of
transmission lines (below grade and overhead), and related facilities including a docking
facility, helipad, living quarters, parking areas, a batch plant, water and waste treatment
facilities and operations and maintenance facilities.
Specifically the project includes;
x Construction and Operation of up to 84 WTG. The proposed WTG will be a
maximum 90 meter blade rotor diameter and a hub height of 80 meters, for a total
maximum height of 125 m (410 feet) from blade tip to ground.
x Construction of a 34.5 KV electrical collection system (ECS) connecting all WTG
to an on-island electrical substation. ECS will be installed both under and above
ground based on site conditions.
x Construction of (up to 32 ft wide) access roads to each WTG.
x Construction of an inlet slip docking facility to allow for equipment delivery.
x Construction of an operation and maintenance facility building.
x Construction of a temporary rock crushing facility and concrete batch plant.
x Construction of temporary housing facilities to house up to 200 construction
workers.
x Construction of two 12-unit permanent housing facilities for operation and
maintenance staff.
x Construction of a potable and fire protection lake water intake system.
x Construction of a potable water treatment system and a sewage treatment system.

Construction of a closed loop geothermal heating and cooling system for


permanent facilities with the closed loop system placed along the Lake
Ontario/Galloo Island Shoreline.

Additionally, the transmission lines and related facilities will include construction and
operation of an approximately 51.5-mile transmission line (9 miles under Lake Ontario,
42.5 miles across the mainland), together with interconnection facilities and other related
facilities. The submarine portion of the transmission line will consist of a single 230 kV
cable that will be installed using a combination of methods, including water jet blasting
and/or hydro-plowing. It is anticipated that the cable will have three cores and will be
buried at a depth of up to 6 feet. A sea bed survey will be conducted to determine the
appropriate methods of cable installation and cable depth.
The construction and operation of the 51.5-mile transmission line and substation is not
included in this wetlands delineation report. A supplemental report will be prepared
detailing the wetlands and waterways associated with that portion of the project will be
completed at a later date.

METHODS

The following information, resources, and references were utilized during the wetland
delineation and preparation of this wetland delineation report.

2.1 Agency Resource Information


Prior to the field survey of the property, various maps and other sources of background
information were reviewed.
These included: aerial photographs, United States
Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map (Galloo Island USGS 7.5 Minute
Quadrangle) (Figure 1); the NYSDEC Freshwater Wetlands Map (New York State
Regulatory Freshwater Wetlands for Jefferson County ARC Export) (Figure 2); the
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map prepared by the Fish and Wildlife Service
(Figure 3), and the Jefferson County Soil Survey Map, prepared utilizing United States
Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Soil
Survey for Jefferson County, New York (Figure 4). The above maps were used initially
to identify the areas with the potential to contain wetland and stream conditions.

2.2 Field Surveys


C&S and Terrestrial Environmental Services, Inc. (TES) conducted a field survey and
performed wetland, OHW, and MHW delineations of the project study area on May 20,
21, 22, and 23, 2008. During the field surveys, dominant flora species, hydrologic
features, and soil conditions were recorded. The background information maps and soils
information discussed above were also referenced during the field surveys of the site.

The boundaries of the wetlands were delineated using the criteria for vegetation, soils,
and hydrology as specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987) (hereinafter referred to as the USACE Manual) and
the 1995 NYSDEC Freshwater Wetlands Delineation Manual (NYSDEC, 1995)
(hereinafter referred to as the NYSDEC Manual). The NYSDEC Manual was utilized
only in those portions of the site where NYSDEC Freshwater Wetlands were mapped
within the vicinity of the project study area including an area in the northeast portion of
the site, two areas in the north-central portion of the site, and one area located in the
southeast portion of the site (See Figure 2). Field conditions were observed and
investigated to determine that normal conditions exist. Field data sheets were recorded to
characterize wetlands and specific cover types present at the project study area, these
field data sheets are included as Appendix A.
The two wetland delineation manuals are similar with regard to identifying wetland
boundaries; however there is one significant difference. The NYSDEC Manual states that
if an area meets any of the criteria listed below, the area can be considered a wetland
without detailed investigation of hydrology and soils. The NYSDEC Manual lists those
criteria as:
(1) FACW or wetter species comprise more than 50 percent of the dominant species
of the plant community and no FACU or UPL species are dominant, or;
(2) OBL perennial species collectively represent at least 10 percent aerial cover in the
plant community and are evenly distributed throughout the community and not
restricted to depressional microsites, or;
(3) One or more dominant plant species in the community has one or more of the
following morphological adaptations: hypertrophied lenticels, buttressed stems or
trunks, multiple trunks, adventitious roots, shallow root systems, or other locally
applicable adaptation, or;
(4) The presence of unbroken expanses of peat mosses (Sphagnum spp.) and other
regionally applicable species of bryophytes over persistently saturated soil.
If none of the above vegetation indicators of wetland is found, but more than 50 percent
of the dominant species of all strata are FAC or some combination of FAC and wetter
species (including OBL, FACW+, FACW-, FAC+); then an investigation and verification
of hydrology and/or hydric soils is required to locate a wetland boundary. In this
instance, the methodology of the two manuals for identifying wetland boundaries is
generally consistent.
The OHW and MHW mark for all streams located within the project study areas were
delineated utilizing the definitional criteria as presented in Title 6 of the Codes, Rules,
and Regulations of the State of New York, Part 608, Use and Protection of Waters, and
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 328.

Surveyors flags or ribbon were placed along the wetland boundaries based on
observations of vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrology conditions. These observations
were made throughout the hydrologic condition continuum to verify that the wetland
boundary was sufficiently identified. Additional observations of vegetation, soils, and
hydrology were made at intermediate locations for the placement of additional flagging to
refine the wetland boundary. In addition, the OHW mark for each stream was delineated
using surveyors flags and ribbon. Each wetland and stream was assigned a letter
designation. Each wetland flag was labeled with the letter of the wetland or stream and
numbered consecutively. Wetland and stream boundaries were surveyed by C&S
Engineers, Inc. using Trimble GeoXH GPS units with sub-foot accuracy. GPS code and
carrier phase post-processed differential correction methodology was applied using
Trimbles Pathfinder Office 3.1 software. The coordinate system used by GPS receivers
was New York State Plan Central 3102, with NAD-83 datum. The above referenced data
was then placed on the project base maps (Wetland Delineation Plans). C&S calculated
the acreage of the wetlands and linear feet of streams within the project study areas using
Environmental Systems Research Institute ARCGIS ARCView 9.2.
The dominant species for each layer in a plot was determined by ranking the species in
decreasing order of percent cover and recording those species which, when cumulatively
totaled, exceeded 50 percent of the total cover of that layer. Additionally, any plant
species that comprised 20 percent or more of the total cover for each layer was
considered to be a dominant species. Dominant vegetation was identified in each
vegetative layer, as present and appropriate (e.g. tree layer, shrub/scrub layer, herbaceous
layer, and woody vine/liana layer). Scientific nomenclature for plant species and the
indicator status for each dominant plant species were determined using the National List
of Plants that Occur in Wetlands: Northeast (Region 1) (Reed, 1988). The hydrophytic
vegetation criterion was deemed to be met if greater than 50 percent of the dominant
plants in the sample plot had an indicator status of OBL, FACW, and/or FAC.
Vegetation was characterized consistent with the NYSDEC and USACE Manuals.
Soil characteristics and hydrology data were observed and collected at representative
areas in test pits within the wetland. The soil and hydrologic data test pits were located at
the center point of the vegetative plots. The pits were excavated by hand to a depth of 16
inches below grade consistent with the USACE Manual. It should be noted the soil
confirmation criterion within the NYSDEC Manual include a soil test pit depth of 18
inches below grade, thus if wetland areas were suspected to meet the NYSDEC wetland
parameters, soil test pits were dug to 18 inches. The presence of hydric soil indicators
was determined by describing pertinent characteristics of the soil sample. Soil colors
were determined using the Munsell soil color charts (2000 Edition). Hydric soil
characteristics such as organic soil layers, reducing conditions, gleying, low-chroma
mottles, and concretions were noted where they occurred. Primary and secondary
indicators of hydrology were also noted at each sample plot. The completed wetland
determination sheets for each representative soil pit are included in Appendix A.

A wetland determination was made at each sample plot after characterizing vegetation,
hydrology, and soil. If the vegetation, hydrology, and hydric soil criteria were met, the
area was deemed to be a wetland. If one or more of the criteria were not met, the area
was determined to be non-wetland. If abnormal or atypical conditions were present,
these conditions were identified and a different paradigm was used to determine the
presence of wetland parameters as identified in Section F of the USACE Manual.
Information from vegetative plots and soil test pits were collected at representative
wetland and upland communities and are included in Appendix A. Photographs of
wetland communities are presented in Appendix B.
A wetlands and waterbodies reconnaissance and site walkover was conducted November
12, 13, and 14, 2007 to obtain information pertaining to ecological communities and
provide approximate location of wetland resources. This site walkover, in addition to the
Wetlands Delineation walkover in May, allowed C&S and TES personnel to transect and
review the entire island. In addition to wetland and waterbody survey, the periphery of
the site was navigated and transects were established perpendicular to the dominant site
topography to investigate the project site.

RESULTS

Wetlands were mapped within the vicinity of the project study area including an area in
the northeast corner or the site, two areas in the north-central portion of the site, and one
area located in the southeast portion of the site.
The NYSDEC Freshwater Wetlands Map for the site revealed the presence of four
NYSDEC jurisdictional wetlands mapped within the project study area (Figure 2).
NYSDEC wetland GL-1, a Class II wetland is located in the northeast portion of the site.
NYSDEC wetlands GL-2 and GL-3, Class III wetlands, are located near the north-central
and central portion of Galloo Island. Wetland GL-2 is associated with an NYSDEC
mapped unnamed tributary of Lake Ontario. The stream is designated as Class C by
NYSDEC under Title 6 of the Codes, Rules, and Regulations of the State of New York,
Part 701. NYSDEC wetland GL-4, a Class II wetland, is located in the southeast portion
of the Island. No other NYSDEC wetlands or NYSDEC mapped streams are found
within the project study area. It should be noted that NYSDEC Freshwater Wetland
Maps carry state jurisdictional value however, the maps show only the approximate
locations of the actual wetlands regulated by the state, and therefore, actual wetland
boundaries need to be field delineated.
Review of the NWI Map for the site revealed multiple NWI wetlands (Figure 3). Two
lacustrine wetland cover types were identified immediately outside the study area
including L2UBH (lacustrine, littoral, unconsolidated bottom) and L2RSJ (lacustrine,
littoral, rocky shore, intermittently flooded).

Palustrine forested (PFO) wetland cover types typically have a covering of deciduous,
coniferous, and/or mixed trees that are over 20 feet in height. These wetlands have a
predominance of hydrophytic vegetation and are typically saturated near surface, flooded,
or inundated for short to long intervals. Forested wetlands present within the general
project area include:

Palustrine scrub-shrub (PSS) wetland cover types can be characterized as transition zones
and are primarily found in areas that were formerly open or cleared. Small trees and
shrubs that are less than 20 feet in height are characteristic of these areas. These
wetlands are typically saturated near surface, flooded, or inundated for short to long
intervals. Scrub-shrub wetlands are present within the general project area including:

PSS1F ((palustrine, scrub-shrub, broad-leaved deciduous, semipermanent),
wetlands.

Palustrine emergent (PEM) wetland cover types are characterized by erect, rooted,
herbaceous to small woody (less than three feet tall) hydrophytic plants. These wetlands
are typically saturated near surface, flooded, or inundated for short to long intervals and
can be fringe communities on open water areas. Emergent wetlands are present within
the general project area including:

flooded/saturated), and
PEM5F (palustrine, emergent, narrow-leaved persistent, semipermanent)
wetlands.

Palustrine, unconsolidated bottom (PUB) wetland cover types are characterized by a


distinct lack of vegetation to the absence of emergent vegetation. These open water areas
are typically semipermanently to permanently flooded. Open water areas or ponds are
present within the general project including:

Wetland mosaics are present within the general project area including PFO1/4E,
PFO/SS1E, PSS1/EM5A, PSS1/EM5E, PSS1/UBF, and PEM5/UBF wetlands. It should
be noted that NWI maps carry no federal jurisdictional value and serve only as general
reference documents.
Soils within the area are predominantly mapped as Benson-Galoo complex, Chaumont
silty clay, Farmington loam, Galoo-Rock outcrop complex, Guffin Clay, Newstead silt
loam, and Saprists and Aquents (Figure 4).

The Benson series consists of shallow to limestone or calcareous shale, somewhat


excessively and excessively drained soils on glaciated uplands. They formed in
loamy till. Bedrock is at a depth of 10 to 20 inches. Permeability is moderate
throughout the soil. (SSS-NRCS-USDA).
The Chaumont series consists of moderately deep, somewhat poorly drained soils
formed in slowly or very slowly permeable clayey lacustrine sediments. They are
nearly level or gently sloping soils on bedrock controlled landforms. (SSS-NRCSUSDA).
The Farmington series consists of shallow, well drained and somewhat
excessively drained soils formed in till. They are nearly level to very steep sols on
glaciated uplands. Bedrock is at a depth of 10 to 20 inches. (SSS-NRCS-USDA).
The Galoo series consists of very shallow, somewhat excessively to excessively
drained soils formed in thin layer of till overlying limestone of calcareous
sandstone bedrock. (SSS-NRCS-USDA).
The Guffin series consists of moderately deep, poorly drained and very poorly
drained soils formed in very slowly permeable clayey lacustrine sediments. They
are nearly level soils on bedrock controlled landforms. (SSS-NRCS-USDA).
The Newstead series consists of moderately deep, somewhat poorly drained soils
formed in permeable till overlying limestone bedrock. These soils are in low areas
of depressions on till plains. Bedrock is at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. Permeability
is moderate throughout the soil. (SSS-NRCS-USDA).
The Saprist and Aquents complex consists of very deep, very poorly drained
organic and mineral soils in freshwater marsh areas. These soils are found in
level to depressional areas generally bordering Lake Ontario. (SSS-NRCSUSDA).

The Guffin series is a listed hydric soil (SCS-USDA, 1995). Saprists and Aquents
complex are hydric at the subgroup level. The Chaumont and Newstead series are listed
as having potential hydric inclusions (SCS-USDA, 1989). The Benson-Galoo,

3.1 Wetland Descriptions


Thirty-six wetlands, approximately 360.68 total acres of wetlands, were delineated for the
project, in order to define the project study area to minimize wetland impacts. For the
purpose of this report, the wetlands will be referred to as Wetlands A, B, C, D, E, F, FB,
G, H, I, J, K, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, W, X, Y, Z, AA, AB, AD, AE, AG, AH, AI, AJ,
AK, AL, AM, and VLM. In addition, one stream was identified within the project study
area. This stream will be referred to as Stream A, and was delineated in conjunction with
Wetland A.
One upland data point was identified in an area that appeared to exhibit wetland
characteristics, yet did not demonstrate all three wetland parameters as identified in the
USACE Manual (Appendix A). This data point is representative of many areas visited
during the May delineation. Hydrology or hydrologic indicators were not present during
the early part of the spring, the period of time where water should be present within
wetlands. Since no water or saturated soils were present during the beginning of the
growing season, it was our opinion that water would not be present in these areas long
enough during the growing season to met the definition of a wetland. In addition, based
on data from the nearest National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Network climatic
station, WET Station WET Station Watertown FAA AP NY9005, precipitation events
leading up to the delineation were average and 0.24 inches of precipitation fell during the
four day delineation. Based on the historical data collected from 1971 to 2000 from that
station, located approximately 16.0 miles from the site, the average annual rainfall and
snowfall for the region is 34.85 and 92.3 inches.
Wetland vegetative observations are based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) publication Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United
States (Cowardin et al., 1979). Wetland areas were described according to primary
vegetative composition and presented in Table 1. These include PEM, PSS, PFO, or
PUB wetland cover types. Multiple wetland data points were taken is multiple cover
types were present within a wetland. Dominant wetland flora species recorded at the
representative observation points within the wetland are listed in wetland determination
sheets located in Appendix A. Based on the field observation of the types of flora present
and their subsequent wetland indicator status (Reed, 1988), greater than 50% of the
dominant species are OBL, FACW, or FAC in all areas classified as wetlands, as
consistent with the USACE Manual.
Field observations at representative data points within each wetland were compared to
determine if the soils were consistent with the mapped soil survey. The soils were
generally described and specific indicators of hydric soil were listed in wetland
determination sheets located in Appendix A. Soil colors were determined using the
Munsell soil color charts (2000 Edition). Hydric soil characteristics such as organic
JULY 2008

WETLANDS & WATERWAYS DELINEATION REPORT


UPSTATE NY POWER CORP, GALLOO ISLAND WIND FARM
TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD, JEFFERSON COUNTY, NEW YORK

soil layers, reducing conditions, gleying, low-chroma mottles, and concretions were noted
where they occurred. Soils within each delineated wetland area met the USACE Manual
criteria for hydric soils.
Indicators of wetland hydrology were observed for each wetland, and are listed in
wetland determination sheets located in Appendix A. Primary indicators of wetland
hydrology generally consist of inundation, saturation in upper 12 inches, water marks,
drift lines, sediment deposits, and drainage patterns in wetlands. Secondary indicators of
wetland hydrology generally consist of oxidized root channels (rhizospheres), waterstained leaves, local soil survey data, or a positive FAC-Neutral test. Two secondary
indicators of hydrology are required for wetland hydrology to be present. Based on field
observations and the reference material available, all wetland areas met the criteria for
having wetland hydrology as defined in the USACE Manual. Specific hydrologic
indicators for each wetland are presented in Table 1.
A preliminary jurisdictional determination, based on professional judgment, was
completed for each delineated wetland, therefore hydrologic connections, or lack thereof,
were identified and described in Table 1. These determinations are based on professional
judgment, and require verification by USACE during a formal jurisdictional
determination. As noted in Table 1, 33 of the 36 wetlands are considered regulated by
the USACE, while the remaining three wetlands appear to be closed depressional
wetlands with no defined surface outflow. With regard to the 33 USACE regulated
wetlands, each hydrologic connection is traced directly to Lake Ontario via surface
connection or through a stream. Lake Ontario is a traditionally navigable waterway of
the United States. Galloo Island, and our project study area, is located within the Lake
Ontario Watershed, USGS Cataloging Unit: 04150200. According to the NYSDEC, the
Lake Ontario Watershed has a drainage area of approximately 3,430 square miles. As a
result, these thirty-two wetlands are non-isolated Jurisdictional wetlands and are therefore
subject to regulation by the USACE.
Four wetlands, Wetlands A, F, J, and Q are mapped NYSDEC wetlands. As such, these
wetlands are subject to Jurisdiction by the NYSDEC.
As previously mentioned, three wetlands do not have a surface connection thus are
isolated wetlands with no obvious surficial connections to navigable waterways of the
United States. Therefore, these wetlands are isolated non-Jurisdictional wetlands. One of
these wetlands, wetland J, is a mapped NYSDEC wetland and subject to Jurisdiction by
the NYSDEC.
A general description of the flora, soils, and hydrology for each wetland area noted
during field surveys are summarized in the following table.

3.2 Stream Descriptions


One stream was identified and delineated, totaling approximately 1,088 linear feet of
stream within the project study area. Stream A flows from northeast to southwest and
into Lake Ontario. The stream, a NYSDEC mapped stream (Ont. Galloo Island 1) is
designated C class with C standards. This stream is not considered a protected stream by
NYSDEC standards, however this stream is considered a Water of the United States.
Flows within Stream A are likely discrete and intermittent. The stream should be
considered a first order stream and a relatively permanent water (RPW) that flows
directly into Lake Ontario. The streams attributes include a defined OHW, including
matting down of vegetation, sediment deposition, wrack line, scour, and sediment sorting.
The banks of the stream were vegetated and the water was relatively clear, lacking oily
sheens or films. Flow within the stream ranged from approximately 1 to 12 inches deep.
The stream bed consists primarily of silt, sands, gravels, and bedrock. The approximate
average grade of the stream bed is 1 to 3 percent with approximately 1:2 to 2:1 bank
slope, lending to a confined flow pattern. The bed of the stream averaged approximately
2 to 4 feet wide and was approximately 0.75 to 2 feet below grade. Based on these
attributes and its assumed seasonal flow, this stream is considered to be a relatively
permanent water. It is likely that the stream has been altered by man through past
agriculture and roadway development given its relatively straight geometry and landscape
location. Given the size of the stream, it does not likely serve as a significant riparian
corridor.

CONCLUSIONS

Thirty-six wetlands, approximately 362.87 total acres of wetlands, were delineated for the
project, in order to define the project study area to minimize wetland impacts. For the
purpose of this report, the wetlands will be referred to as Wetlands A, B, C, D, E, F, FB,
G, H, I, J, K, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, W, X, Y, Z, AA, AB, AD, AE, AG, AH, AI, AJ,
AK, AL, AM, and VLM. Based on field observations, Wetlands J, U, AA, AB, AD, AG,
AH, and AM are PFO wetlands, Wetlands C, E, G, H, I, K, N, O, P, R, S, T, W, X, Y, Z,
AE, AI, AJ, AK, and AL are PEM wetlands, Wetlands A, B, D, and VLM are PFO/PEM
mosaic wetlands, and Wetlands F, FB, and Q are PFO/PSS/PEM wetlands. Based on the
available reference material and field data collected by C&S, it is our opinion that
wetlands within the project limits, as previously described, all wetlands were delineated
and recorded consistent with the USACE Manual except for those wetlands that qualify
as NYSDEC regulated wetlands. The NYSDEC wetlands, including Wetlands A, F, J,
and Q were delineated and recorded consistent with USACE and NYSDEC Manuals.
A preliminary jurisdictional determination, based on professional judgment, was
completed for each delineated wetland. Therefore hydrologic connections, or lack
thereof, were identified and described in Table 1. These determinations are based on
professional judgment, and require verification by USACE during a formal jurisdictional

determination. As noted in Table 1, 33 of the 36 wetlands are considered regulated by


the USACE, while the remaining three wetlands appear to be closed depressional
wetlands with no defined surface outflow. With regard to the 33 USACE regulated
wetlands, each hydrologic connection is traced directly to Lake Ontario via surface
connection or through a stream. Lake Ontario is a traditionally navigable waterway of
the United States. As a result, these 33 wetlands are non-isolated Jurisdictional wetlands
and are therefore subject to regulation by the USACE.
Based on field surveys, review of USGS mapping, and interpretation of available aerial
photography, it is our opinion that Wetlands J, O, and AD do not drain surficially, nor are
the immediately adjacent to, a Jurisdictional Water of the United States. Therefore,
consistent with the U.S. Supreme Courts decision in Solid Waste Agency of Northern
Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC, 2001), it is our opinion that
these wetlands are isolated non-Jurisdictional wetlands. One of these wetlands, wetland J,
is a mapped NYSDEC wetland and subject to Jurisdiction by the NYSDEC.
In addition, one stream was identified within the project study are and delineated in
conjunction with Wetland A. The stream, totaling approximately 1,088 linear feet, is a
NYSDEC mapped stream (Ont. Galloo Island 1) is designated C class with C standards
and flows directly into Lake Ontario. This stream is not considered a protected stream by
NYSDEC standards, however this stream is considered a Water of the United States.
