The CWC Stream Corridor Protection Program provides funding for projects which mitigate or correct an existing situation in a village, hamlet, or population center that presents an imminent and substantial danger to persons or property. CWC and NYCDEP staff will select projects through evaluation of grant proposals and consider threat to persons and/or property, size of population center affected, the benefit to water quality, analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the project, and the project’s consistency with recommendations set forth in a relevant Stream Management Plan. An example of an eligible project is on Third Brook in the Village of Walton. A retaining wall was extended behind a retail business to mitigate future flooding and damage to a commercial area devastated by flooding in June, 2006. (See photo.) Applications are accepted continuously throughout the year. For more information and guidance in submitting applications, call 845-586-1400. |
