                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7645

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to designating the
Claverack Creek, the Taghkanic Creek and the Agawamuck Creek as parts
of the inland waterway system

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL :

This bill would add the Claverack, Taghkanic, and Agawamuck creeks to
the list of inland waterways as defined by the state.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends the list of inland waterways, adding the Taghkanic,
Claverack, and Agawamuck creeks.

Section 2 sets the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

By adding these three creeks to the list of inland waterways, the
municipalities that contain them would have access to additional
funding mechanisms from both the state and federal governments,
including potential federal funding to protect these creeks.

The creeks in question have long been important to the character and
history of these Columbia County communities, which include the Towns
of Stockport, Greenport, Claverack, Livingston, Taghkanic, and the
Village of Philmont. These waterways have considerable historic value
as waterways as they include several colonial historic sites along
their banks, such as bridges and mills.

The state funding (through programs such as the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program) that these communities would now be eligible
for would, among other things, aid in efforts to restore
infrastructure that would allow for walking, biking, and fishing,
enhancing the tourism industry in the area. These efforts would
enhance these historic sites and, and by proxy, help the economy of
Columbia County and neighboring areas.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPACT :

None, though it would make the municipalities that contain these
creeks eligible for additional grants.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
