Introduced by M. of A. SWEENEY, ENGLEBRIGHT, THIELE -- read once and
referred to the Committee on Environmental Conservation
AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the
addition of certain lands in the Carmans River Watershed to the
Central Pine Barrens Area and the Core Preservation Area; to repeal
chapter 538 of the laws of 2011 amending the environmental conserva-
tion law relating to the addition of certain lands within the Carmans
River Watershed to the core preservation area of the Central Pine
Barrens, relating thereto; and to repeal certain provisions of the
environmental conservation law relating thereto
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that expanding
2 the Central Pine Barrens Area and the core preservation area, as estab-
3 lished in chapter 286 of the laws of 1998 will increase protection for
4 the Carmans River and its watershed and is a vital goal that benefits
5 the environment and the economy of the state. The Carmans River is one
6 of only two found within the Central Pine Barrens. As such, the Carmans
7 River represents a significant and integral part of the Central Pine
8 Barrens ecosystem. Although various state and local measures have been
9 undertaken to protect the Carmans River over the last several decades,
10 recent scientific studies have indicated that existing measures are
11 insufficient to protect the Carmans River. Further, the Carmans River
12 is declining in both the quality of its surface water and its ecological
13 integrity. The entire watercourse of the Carmans River lies within the
14 Central Pine Barrens and much of its groundwater watershed also lies
15 within the Central Pine Barrens and entirely within the town of Brookha-
16 ven. Accordingly, the most effective means of achieving the objectives
17 of environmental preservation of the Carmans River watershed and econom-
18 ic growth on other areas of the town of Brookhaven would be to expand
19 the core preservation area of the Central Pine Barrens. This legislation

[] is old law to be omitted.

1 is intended to and conditioned on the purpose that it: (1) expand the
2 core preservation area boundary to encompass those areas most critical
3 to the Carmans River; (2) include public parklands and open space areas
4 which are near or currently adjacent to the core preservation area and
5 which should be integrated into the core preservation area; (3) expand
6 the existing Central Pine Barrens area boundary to incorporate the boun-
7 daries of the expanded core preservation area; and shall only remain in
8 effect as long as the description and boundaries of such areas as estab-
9 lished in 1998, and the protections afforded such areas by such act are
10 not diminished in any way. Such intended expansion of the core preserva-
11 tion area will provide significantly more protection to the Carmans
12 River than currently exists and will help to ensure that key ecological
13 values and habitats will be adequately protected, enhanced and main-
14 tained.
15 § 2. Subdivisions 10 and 11 of section 57-0107 of the environmental
16 conservation law are REPEALED, and two new subdivisions 10 and 11 are
17 added to read as follows:
