Intermunicipal Planning for the Black & Oatka Creek Watersheds
Black Creek and Oatka Creek Watershed Management Plans
The project includes
preparation of watershed management plans for the Black Creek and Oatka
Creek watersheds, two key tributaries of the Genesee River. Black Creek
and Oatka Creek, which are 46 miles and 58 miles long, respectively,
together drain an area of approximately 420 square miles across 28
municipalities
and in parts of five counties. The Black Creek and Oatka Creek watershed
management plans will identify and analyze the issues related to land and
water use, including development, recreational uses (fishing, boating,
swimming), tourism, drinking water supplies, irrigation, aesthetics,
agricultural uses, industrial uses, and economic development. The process
of developing the watershed plans will serve to build consensus among
watershed municipalities, State agencies, non-governmental organizations
and the public on short and long term actions needed to protect and
restore water quality and quantity.
