Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) It is the general purpose of this Part to
						implement the policy of the State with regard to the release of waters from
						certain reservoirs, as set forth in title 8 of article 15 of the Environmental
						Conservation Law. The purpose of regulating such releases of water is to
						protect and enhance the recreational use of the rivers and streams affected by
						those releases, while ensuring, and without impairing, an adequate supply of
						water for power production or for any municipality which uses water from such
						reservoirs for drinking and other purposes.
(b)
(1)
						Except for releases from Cannonsville, Pepacton and Neversink reservoirs and
						diversions from Schoharie reservoir through the Shandaken tunnel to Esopus
						Creek, this Part applies to releases from all reservoirs regulated by title 8
						of article 15 of the Environmental Conservation Law. The reservoirs covered by
						this Part are as follows:
(i) Subpart
						672-2--Ashokan, Kensico, Rondout and Schoharie reservoirs;
(ii) Subpart 672-3--Croton System
						reservoirs--Boyds Corner, West Branch, Bog Brook, East Branch, Middle Branch,
						Croton Falls, Cross River, Titicus, Amawalk, Muscoot and New Croton
						reservoirs;
(iii) Subpart
						672-4--Mongaup System reservoirs--Toronto, Cliff Lake, Swinging Bridge and Rio
						reservoirs; and
(iv) Subpart
						672-5--East Sidney Lake, Sleepy Hollow Lake, Cooper Lake and Sturgeon
						Pool.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The department
						reservoir releases manager shall be responsible for monitoring on a continuous
						basis all rivers and streams affected by releases regulated by this Part in
						order to determine whether any significant adverse environmental impacts,
						including, but not limited to, fish kills and water quality degradation
						incidents, occur as a result of the operation of any reservoir pursuant to this
						Part. The department reservoir releases manager shall promptly investigate any
						such incidents which may occur and report the results of such investigations to
						the appropriate agency reservoir releases manager.
(b) The department reservoir releases manager
						shall be responsible for conducting studies in order to provide a technical
						data base for resolving problems and issues associated with the release or
						diversion of water from any reservoir regulated by this Part as may be
						identified. Such studies shall include, but not be limited to, the technical
						and financial feasibility, desirability and possible means of:
(1) establishing reservoir release works that
						are adequate and appropriate to fulfill the purposes of this Part for certain
						reservoirs that do not now contain such release works; and
(2) modifying existing release works at
						certain reservoirs in order to allow water releases that will more adequately
						fulfill the purposes of this Part than do the releases presently provided
						herein. The department reservoir releases manager shall consult with the
						applicable agency reservoir releases manager regarding such studies.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter X - DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES › Subchapter A - GENERAL › Article 1 - MISCELLANEOUS RULES › Part 672 - RESERVOIR RELEASES REGULATIONS: OTHER › Subpart 672-1 - Reservoir Releases Regulations-General › Section 672-1.5 - Report

The department reservoir releases manager in
						  cooperation with the agency reservoir releases manager shall prepare the
						  following reports on the results of the regulation of reservoir releases in
						  accordance with this Part:
(a) Interim
						reports. Interim reports shall be prepared by March 1, 1982 and March 1, 1983.
						Each interim report shall include a preliminary evaluation of the effect of the
						regulations on water supply and power production. The interim report shall also
						include review and analysis of the required minimum releases with respect to
						reservoir storage and stream flow conditions where applicable.
(b) Special report. A special report shall be
						prepared by March 1, 1984. The special report shall include:
(1) an additional evaluation of the effect of
						regulations on water supply, power production, water quality, recreation and
						aquatic ecosystems;
(2) an
						additional assessment of benefits and costs of required releases;
(3) results of any new operation studies
						based on additional hydrologic data and further analyses of downstream flow
						requirements;
(4) results of
						feasibility studies on establishing and modifying release works for certain
						reservoirs;
(5) further assessment
						of projected water demands on the New York City system in relation to the
						required releases; and
(6)
						recommendations for any changes in the regulations.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
						Toronto reservoir. The agency shall make water releases from Toronto reservoir
						as are necessary and sufficient to maintain a constant minimum flow of 10 cfs
						in Black Lake Creek during all times of the year, as measured for the purposes
						of compliance with this Part at the release works of the Toronto reservoir.
						This provision shall not be applicable when water is spilling from the Cliff
						Lake reservoir or when the water elevation in the Toronto reservoir is below
						1170 feet mean sea level.
(b) Cliff
						Lake. This Subpart does not establish any required releases from Cliff Lake at
						this time. The department reservoir releases manager, in cooperation with the
						agency reservoir releases manager, shall investigate Black Lake Creek
						downstream from Cliff Lake and determine the need for and practicability of

						Swinging Bridge and Rio reservoirs that are adequate and appropriate to fulfill
						the purposes of this Part, this Subpart does not establish any required
						releases from said reservoirs. Required releases from such reservoirs may be
						established at some future date, following completion of the department's
						studies pursuant to section
