  1. Sources Christopher Page Genna Waldvogel Hannah Cady

  2. Agriculture Definition • Crop and livestock landuse practices • Non-point source • Phosphorus, toxic substances, pathogens, and land fragmentation

  3. Urban Definition • Landuse designated as a city or town • Densely populated with impervious surfaces • Non-point source for phosphorus, toxic substences, pathogens and land fragmentation

  4. Forested Areas Definition • Area covered by a high density community of trees • Natural and managed • Phosphorus and recreation

  5. Landuse Analysis • Austin Troy’s Landuse Raster Dataset • Inconsistent pixelation, distored landuse counts in each watershed • In the future: overlay watersheds on landuse layer, count total pixels of each landcover type

  6. Roads Definition • Any impervious surface, paved or heavily compacted • Miles of road in each watershed • Non-point source for phosphorus, toxic substances, land fragmenation, and barrier to aquatic organisms • Roads layer provided by Habitat Fragmentation group • In future: divide by watershed, determine total road miles

  7. Fisheries Definition • Fish hatcheries • Phosphorus, pathogens, invasive species, and recreation • Data provided by LCBP Atlas • 5 hatcheries within the basin

  8. Marinas Definition • Areas where boats are docked, fueled, and used as ports • Ferries included • Toxic substances, barriers to aquatic organisms, invasive species, and recreation • Data From VCGI and NYSGIS • Discrepancy between layers

  9. Waste Water Treatment Plant Definition • Human and industrial waste water • Point source for phosphorus, toxic substances, and pathogens • Selected from EPA registered polluters

  10. Dams • A barrier to obstruct the flow of water • Land fragmentation and barriers to aquatic organisms • Data from NYSGIS and VCGI • All dams are given equal weight

  11. Recreational Parks Definition • Any recreational area, spanning from beach to ski resorts • phosphorus, toxic substances, land fragmentation, invasive species, and recreation • Ski Resorts counted through Google • No thorough data for NY • Other recreation data from VCGI

  12. Industrial Definition • Variety of business sites • Paper mills, metal smelters, landfills, etc • Phosphorus, toxic substances, and land fragmentation • Registered EPA Polluters • All industrial sites are given equal weight

  13. Current Data for Sources in Each Watershed

  14. Source-Stressor Pathways

  15. Importance Matrix
