Schoharie Basin Action Plans

Action plans direct the implementation of stream management plans by distilling large, overarching goals into smaller, more manageable projects. Initially developed every 2 years, action plans for the Schoharie Reservoir watershed are now developed annually by a collaboration between the Schoharie Watershed Advisory Committee (SWAC), Greene County Soil & Water Conservation District (GCSWCD), and New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP).
