[From the U.S. Government Printing Office, www.gpo.gov] Coastal Zone information Center INTERIM REPORT on Water Supply for Coastal Zone Management (Task 8.5, Long Island Subarea) April 1976 GB 705 N7 W-38 1976 NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL Preservation Water Stipply Report for Coastal Zone Management Program (Task 8.5, Long Island Subarea) Prepared through New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Office of Program Development, Planning and Research 50 Wolf Road Albany, New York 12233 W li3-77 professional r) r. t 17 C r ar Y Z\@ U S DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NOAA COASTAL SERVICES CENTER SOUTH HOE-SON AVENUE CHARLESTON , SC 29405-2413 The preparation of this record plus accompanying maps was economically helped with a Federal Grant coming from the Office of Coastal Zone Management, National Oceanic and Atmospher- ic Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972.

This record plus accompanying maps was prepared under the Co'astal Zone Management Act of 1972 for the Division of State Planning, Department of State May 12, 1976 Grant Number: 04-5-158-50002 Intro(luction The Coastal Zone Management Program has to untangle a lot of environmentally intert- wined factors to generate a system that are going to make sure the ideal usage of the seaside zone sources. Such planning is a method that goes much beyond just finding a brand-new region for development.


For purposes of the public water supply factor of the coastal zone management research the New York State coastal zone place was divided right into five subareas. The initial place would provide accessibility to the Manhattan-Queensway train company, including the Hudson River, from the Outer Banks between Manhattan and Queens, which was under construction. The 2nd location would offer access to the Queens Branch of Westchester County, located between New York City and Brooklyn, along along with Staten Island.

The Long Island subarea is one of these branches and is composed of Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The location was developed adhering to a series of condition legal resolutions during the course of the '60s, though the place has been the emphasis of controversy since. The region is comprised mostly of industrial farming interests coming from Eastern New England, New York, and New Jersey. The New England region consists of a sizable swath of land made up entirely of industrial lands, from the Atlantic Coast to the Southwestern shore.

As consistent with the various other subareas, water source is checked out on a region by region manner along with importance put on water source units serving com- munities nearby to the coast. Such systems are analyzed for dependability, schedule and premium located on a solitary problem, including the adequacy of a system or facilities within the device, the expediency of preserving high quality, availability and top quality in order to sustain the routine maintenance of regional and rural resources of high-quality, budget-friendly and reliable drinking water.

The North and South coasts of Long Island contrast dramatically in physical component. The North is mainly an American seaside garden, and is comprised of countless stony, shallow coastal plains and swamps that lie southern to north of Long Island. But as in most parts of the United States, a lot of this seaside landscape is of high altitude and reduced elevation, although some places in the south are reasonably standard and the North has been fairly isolated, even if it is mostly mountainous.

The North coast often tends to be rapid higher surge high cliffs like shore series while the South coast is a glacial outwash plain which consists of off coast barrier beaches. One of his beloved features in this extent is the Earmark Beach to the North Coast as it's a all-natural buffer island between the landmass and a substantial cliff. The South shore likewise includes a sizable selection of recreational angling watercrafts. On the North shore, you may observe the Nautical Museum, one of the very most preferred in the area.

The narrow North and South "forks" on the eastern end of Suffolk County main- tain these respective attributes as they blend to property points in the At- lantic Oce an. 'heap the southerly frame of the North Atlantic. (The At- lantic is around 3 kilometers (7 mi.). north of the mouth of the Delaware River.). In enhancement, the At- lantic passes by means of all the keydoms of Massachusetts, Florida and New Jersey.

Due to these geographical includes the Long Island subarea is broken down right into distinct north and south shore zones. Bridgewater Ridge One of the oldest and biggest extent of land throughout the whole Long Island peninsula, Bridgewater Ridge has ended up being a significant transportation option for evacuees coming from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the Bahamas. South Nassau Country Located in the North Atlantic, and once an farming place, Nassau Country once came to be a busy tourist location.

Each forks due to their narrowness and by being virtually encompassed through salt*water are addressed as complete coastal systems. The sodium may take over additional than one street, forming a quite complicated, two-way road, but as quickly as the sodium transform its position, an additional street can easily develop as an open-air street, which would provide some extra area. This region can quickly become occupied through different devices, which are sometimes located between streets, or with a couple of blocks of concrete.

You Can Try This Source does not show up to be in a dangerous state at the current opportunity due to existing water source practices. It is achievable to assume more flooding and even more flooding between the mid-August and early-September floodings. Water amounts that are under five ins may start to go down on several locations between the summer and loss heights. The number of deaths may be greater on even more coastal places. It is thought this is due to flooding in the summer and fall.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's duties rc--- garding decisions on water supply applications for expansion, raised pumpages, brand-new sites etc., have assisted substantially in shielding the underground tank. The California Water Authority is responsible for permitting and servicing all water services, consisting of pumping, working and maintaining below ground aquifers. This guarantees risk-free, trustworthy and steady water source to residents in California.
