DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Genesee River Basin covers 2,479 square miles, mostly in western New York, with a small portion, 96 square miles in northwestern Pennsylvania. The river rises in the Allegheny highlands in Potter County, Pennsylvania, at an elevation of about 2,500 feet, flows approximately 157 river miles in a generally northward direction to its mouth at Rochester Harbor on Lake Ontario, at an elevation of about 247 feet. The topography of the southern portion, the Upper Basin, upstream of Mount Morris Dam, is steep and rugged, while the northern portion, the Lower Basin, is gently rolling. The two major divisions of the basin also closely parallel the two land resource areas which comprise the basin: the Allegheny Plateau and the Ontario Lake Plains Service Area, a region of about 750 square miles north and west of the Basin lying between Rochester and Lockport, New York. The principal needs are for flood protection, water quality control, recreation, fish and wildlife enhancement, irrigation, and agricultural land and water management. The most practicable means to provide for these and other needs of the basin is through a comprehensive plan of structural and non-structural measures.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the course of the Genesee River Basin Coordinating Committee Study, certain alternatives for multipurpose water resources development in the Basin were considered. For example, the Portage Project illustrated that, under the Federal ground rules for water resources project analysis, a particularly good physical site could be developed for: hydroelectric power, recreation and flow augmentation for water quality management. The development of upstream Genesee River Basin reservoirs for municipal and industrial water supply was not investigated in the previous volumes for reasons stated therein. The State of New York felt additional useful information would be gained by further analysis of municipal and industrial water supply, irrigation and hydro-electric power potentials. Therefore, to provide this additional information, the State of New York retained the service of consultants. Also, other possible sources of water supply, such as ground water and Lake Ontario, were analyzed in depth in this effort.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Feasibility Report discusses plans considered under the Genesee River Basin Study Authority. Two of these plans: a multi-use reservoir at Standards and modification to the existing Mt. Morris Dam and reservoir for multi-use including flood control, recreation, hydropower, and irrigation. These plans were found not economically feasible for single-purpose flood control. The Federal Government therefore recommended no further Federal actions. Keywords: Hydrology, Hydraulics, Environmental coordination. (kr).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis addition to the 'Summary Report' Genesee River Basin Study is to briefly discuss change conditions and/or criteria which would necessitate major revisions in the report. The Coordinating Committee felt that major changes should not be made at this late point in time owing to personnel and funding restraints. They desire this addition to act to alert those agencies that make later studies within the basin of the areas of change in the data presented in the 'Summary Report' and appendices. (Author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis feasibility report discusses plans considered under the Genesee River Basin Study Authority. Two of these plans--a multi-use reservoir at Stannards and modification to the existing Mt. Morris Dam and reservoir for multi-use including flood control, recreation, hydropower, and irrigation--were found not economically feasible for single-purpose flood control. The Federal Government therefore recommended no further Federal actions.
