S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1297 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y (PREFILED) January 9, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ZEBROWSKI, JAFFEE, RABBITT, SKOUFIS -- read once and referred to the Committee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT enacting the "Rockland Bergen Bi-state watershed flood prevention and protection act" and creating the Rockland Bergen Bi-state River Commission THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Rockland Bergen Bi-state watershed flood prevention and protection act". S 2. The legislature finds and declares that the states of New York and New Jersey and their respective citizens share a common concern to protect their personal safety and property through the identification and remediation of potential flood hazards along the tributaries and watersheds of the Hackensack River, Mahwah River, Ramapo River, Saddle River, and Sparkill Brook/Creek that cross the interstate border region. The identification and remediation of potential flood hazards requires a bi-state comprehensive approach. A bi-state comprehensive flood prevention approach will also help ensure the preservation and mainte- nance of the environmentally beneficial impacts of the tributaries and watersheds of the Hackensack River, Mahwah River, Ramapo River, Saddle River, and Sparkill Brook/Creek. A bi-state approach will encourage open space and recreational opportunities along the tributaries and watersheds of the Hackensack River, Mahwah River, Ramapo River, Saddle River, and Sparkill Brook/Creek. The legislature further finds that there has been a long history of cooperation among state and local governmental entities and various private organizations and individuals in the vicinity of the tributaries and watersheds of the Hackensack River, Mahwah River, Ramapo River, Saddle River, and Sparkill Brook/Creek. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD00370-01-3
