Cayuga County is one of the 62 counties in New York State and is comprised of one city, 23 towns, and nine villages. Location Cayuga County is bordered to the North by Lake Ontario, to the Northeast by Oswego County, to the East by Onondaga County, to the southeast by Cortland County, to the South by Tompkins County, and to the West by Seneca and Wayne Counties. Cayuga County is located in the central part of the state, in the Finger Lakes region. Waterbodies in and around Cayuga County are its most defining characteristics, with Owasco Lake in the center of the County, Cayuga Lake forming part of the Western boundary of the County, Lake Ontario on the northern border, and Skaneateles Lake and Cross Lake forming part of the Eastern border. The New York State Barge Canal and the Seneca River cross Cayuga County North of the New York State Thruway, which also bisects Cayuga County North and South. Cayuga County is made up of 33 municipalities (cities, towns, and villages) and encompasses an area of approximately 734 square miles (Cayuga County, 2010). The major commercial and industrial areas of ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-2 August 2013 Cayuga County are located in the City of Auburn and the Towns of Mentz, Sennett, Brutus and Aurelius, all centrally located in Cayuga County along the major transportation routes. Brief History The first existence of Cayuga County was a large portion of land formed in 1799 by the splitting of Onondaga County. This land area of Cayuga County at that time, however, was much larger than the present Cayuga County, including present-day Seneca and Tompkins Counties. Five years later in 1804, Cayuga County split to form Seneca County, and in 1817 it released another portion of land for the creation of Tompkins County, leaving the remainder of Cayuga County as is stands today (Corcoran, Date Unknown). Governing Body Format Cayuga County is a full service county government with 35 operating departments including a full service Health Department. Cayuga County is governed by a County Legislature consisting of 15 elected Legislators who represent equally divided districts and who select a County Chairperson annually. The County also has a County Administrator who acts on the behalf of the Legislature. Cayuga County operates a Nursing Home, Soil and Water Conservation District, Community College, Water and Sewer Authority, and a County Jail. Cayuga County is made up of one city, 23 towns, and nine villages. Home rule is strong in New York State and thus, the City and each town and village have its own governing body. The City of Auburn has an elected mayor serving as Chief Executive and administrative head of the City with a City Council serving as the legislature. The City of Auburn also has a manager appointed by the City Council to direct and supervise the activities of the City; manage municipal resources; present plans, reports and analysis to the Council; and maintain the financial affairs of the City (Auburn, 2013). In towns, the Town Board serves as the legislative branch. It is made up of an elected Supervisor and a specific number of elected town board members. A town can contain one or more villages. In villages, the Board of Trustees is the legislature and it is composed of an elected mayor and trustees. The Mayor is the Chief Executive of the Village. Along with town and village roads, any public water and sewer systems, with the exception of the Cayuga County Water and Sewer Authority and the Dudley private water system, are operated by the local municipality, though they may cooperate with County departments. Each municipality has charge over its own planning and zoning and uses Cayuga County personnel as a resource (Cayuga County, 2010). Growth/Development Trends The following table summarizes major residential/commercial development and major infrastructure development that are identified for the next five years in the municipality. Refer to the map in section of this annex which illustrates the hazard areas along with the location of potential new development. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-3 August 2013 New Development/Potential Development in Municipality Municipality Property Name Type (Residential, Municipal or Commercial) Number of Structures Address Potential Hazard Description/Status Auburn State Dam (2013) Municipal 1 42.919630, - 76.548017 karst Renovation Auburn Mill St. Hydro (2013-14) Municipal 1 42.928753,- 76.559261 karst, flood Renovation Auburn Downtown Theater Commercial 1 1 State St karst Auburn N.

Generally, Cayuga County’s road system and other infrastructure are vulnerable to damage and disruption from flooding, severe storms and winter storm events, as well as possible shale bank collapse or muck soil subsidence. Also, hazardous material transportation accidents have the potential to endanger the health and welfare of County residents including disrupting water supplies and transportation routes. In addition to these general vulnerabilities, the Cayuga County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has identified the following flooding vulnerabilities for Cayuga County, and has proposed hazard mitigation initiatives corresponding to these vulnerabilities, as shown in Section F.3 of this annex: ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-15 August 2013  Cayuga Lake is a major Finger Lake located partially within Cayuga County. Land use in the area includes residential areas and agriculture. Erosion on the lakeshore has been of concern in the past. In the event of a major storm, water levels could rise above normal stages and threaten lakeshore properties and homes. Recreation areas, steep slopes and certain beaches on parts of the lake may require stabilization. Areas along the lakeshore are also prone to flooding and damage resulting from ice jams where tributaries enter the lake. Unnamed and named watercourses, including Paines Creek, Great Gully Creek and others, contribute a large volume of sediment to the lake as a result of bank erosion. The Cayuga County SWCD has worked on many such projects on the lake in the past.  Cold Springs Brook, a tributary that flows to the Seneca River, has been identified as having flooding issues. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, cropland and other property is lost. The predominant land use adjacent to the watercourse is agriculture and residential. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt. Portions of the stream are also prone to ice jams. These cause flooding and an increase in erosion due to bed and bank scour, as well as having the potential for causing significant property damage. Clearing and snagging of debris jams and removal of excess sediment is need to protect a 60 bed adult care facility, the Village of Weedsport’s wastewater treatment plant and the CSX/Amtrak railroad culvert, berm and track from erosion and flooding.  Crane Brook, a tributary that flows to the Seneca River, has been identified as having erosion issues. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, cropland and other property is lost. The predominant land use adjacent to the watercourse is agriculture and residential. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt.  Dutch Hollow Brook has been evaluated for flooding and erosion concerns. Stream bank erosion, woody debris and ice jams have been identified as primary concerns along the stretch.  Fall Creek, a watercourse that flows to Cayuga Lake, has steeply sloped banks and runs through rural and agricultural areas. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, land is lost and property along the creek is endangered. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt.  Great Gully Creek, a watercourse that flows to Cayuga Lake, has steeply sloped banks and runs through residential and agricultural areas. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, cropland is lost and property along the creek is endangered. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt.  Moon Beach, on the Southeastern shore of Lake Ontario, is a high, very steep slope that is frequently and severely impacted by wave, ice, and wind action. The bank is very unstable and erosion is a major concern in the area. Homes on Moon Beach are in imminent danger from the top of slope collapsing beneath them. In at least one case, a house has been relocated to avoid this scenario.  The Owasco Inlet has been evaluated for flooding and erosion concerns. Stream bank erosion, channel deposition and woody debris have been identified as primary concerns along the stretch.  Owasco Lake is a major Finger Lake located entirely within Cayuga County. It supplies drinking water to the City of Auburn and many towns within Cayuga County. Lake levels are controlled by the City of Auburn using the United State Corps of Engineers rule ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-16 August 2013 curve, however; in the event of a major storm, water levels could rise above normal stages and threaten lakeshore properties and homes. This could also contaminate the drinking water supply, as pollutants could overwhelm the water filtration plant’s capabilities. Land use in the area includes residential areas and agriculture. Recreation areas, steep slopes and certain beaches on parts of the lake may require stabilization. The Cayuga County SWCD has worked on many such projects on the lake in the past, as well as dredging in areas that have received heavy siltation.  The Owasco Outlet has been evaluated for flooding and erosion concerns. Stream bank erosion and woody debris have been identified as primary concerns along the stretch.  Paines Creek, a watercourse that flows to Cayuga Lake, has steeply sloped banks and runs through residential and agricultural areas. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. Significant sediment deposits have been noted in Cayuga Lake from this stream. As the banks deteriorate, cropland is lost and property along the creek is endangered. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt.  Putnam Brook and North Brook, tributaries that flow to the Seneca River, have been identified as having erosion issues. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the streams erode the banks and cause significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, cropland and other property is lost. The predominant land use adjacent to the watercourses is agriculture and residential. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt.  Big Salmon Creek, Little Salmon Creek and their tributaries have been evaluated for flooding and erosion concerns. Stream bank erosion and woody debris have been identified as primary concerns along the stretch.  The Seneca River, the Barge Canal and Cayuga/ Seneca Canal run across Cayuga County and impact six towns. Seasonal flooding is common on the River, and has caused significant property damage over the years. Large portions of the riverbank have sloughed off into the river during certain flood events. Debris and sediment deposits also impede the flow and cause undercutting of the banks.  Skaneateles Lake is a major Finger Lake located partially within Cayuga County. Skaneateles Lake is the primary source of water for the City of Syracuse. Land use in the area includes residential areas and agriculture. Erosion on the Lakeshore is of concern, as the banks of the lake in Cayuga County are generally high and very steep. In the event of a major storm, water levels could rise above normal stages and damage the shoreline. Recreation areas, steep slopes and certain beaches on parts of the lake may require stabilization.  Sterling Creek, Sterling Valley Creek and their tributaries have been evaluated for flooding and erosion concerns. Stream bank erosion, excessive vegetation, channel deposition and woody debris have been identified as primary concerns in these streams.  Sucker Brook, a flashy watercourse that flows to Owasco Lake, is prone to flooding and erosion concerns. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, cropland is lost the predominant land use adjacent to the watercourse is agriculture. The stream also passes through a golf course. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern.  Veness Brook, a flashy watercourse that flows to Owasco Lake, is prone to flooding and erosion concerns. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, cropland is lost. The predominant land use adjacent to the watercourse is agriculture. Residential development is also steadily expanding in the area. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-17 August 2013  The Village of Moravia and the Hamlet of Locke are low-lying population centers with several streams and watercourses flowing through them, coming down from steep slopes above. Historically, the village and hamlet have experienced flooding from snowmelt and storm events. In some cases, road culverts have become plugged with debris from upstream. The village and hamlet storm sewers are not adequate to handle excessive amounts of stormwater. Erosion from stream banks often leads to silt and shale deposits in the flat areas in the village and hamlet, reducing stream channels even further. Debris carried into the village and hamlet also creates logjams and flooding. The Cayuga County SWCD has worked with the village and hamlet in the past to address some of these issues, however, lack of funds has limited the projects.  The Village of Port Byron has the Owasco Outlet running through it, which has been known to cause flooding from ice jams and debris carried in the stream. Bank erosion contributes to the issue, by depositing sediments in the stream. The Cayuga County SWCD has worked with the Village in the past to address some of these issues; however, lack of funds has limited the projects.  Yawgers Creek, a major tributary that flows to Cayuga Lake, has been identified as having erosion issues. After heavy rainfall events, the swell of the stream erodes the banks and causes significant damage. As the banks deteriorate, cropland is lost the predominant land use adjacent to the watercourse is agriculture, although there are homes along the stream that have been threatened by stream bank erosion in the past. Stream bank erosion is a primary concern, particularly during heavy rain events or during the spring melt. Additional:  Many of these flooding situations can be exacerbated by debris accumulation and/or beaver activity. Comprehensive plans are needed to deal with debris and beaver issues.  Many areas of Cayuga County and town road systems are vulnerable to shale bank failure, muck/organic soil subsidence and karst/sinkhole development. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-18 August 2013 NFIP Summary Municipality # Policies # Claims (Losses) Total Loss Payments # Rep.

High priority projects can be completed in the short term (1 to 5 years). Medium Priority = A project that meets goals and objectives, benefits exceeds costs, funding has not been secured but project is grant eligible under, HMGP, PDM or other grant programs. Project can be completed in the short term, once funding is completed. Medium priority projects will become high priority projects once funding is secured. Low Priority = Any project that will mitigate the risk of a hazard, benefits do not exceed the costs or are difficult to quantify, funding has not been secured and project is not eligible for HMGP or PDM grant funding, and time line for completion is considered long term (1 to 10 years). Low priority projects may be eligible other sources of grant funding from other programs. A low priority project could become a high priority project once funding is secured as long as it could be completed in the short term. Prioritization of initiatives was based on above definitions: Yes Prioritization of initiatives was based on parameters other than stated above: Not applicable. FUTURE NEEDS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND RISK/VULNERABILITY None at this time. HAZARD AREA EXTENT AND LOCATION A hazard area extent and location map has been generated for the jurisdiction to illustrate the probable areas impacted within the municipality and is provided on the next page. This map is based on the best available data at the time of the preparation of this Plan, and is considered to be adequate for planning purposes. Maps have only been generated for those hazards that can be clearly identified using mapping techniques and technologies, and for which the jurisdiction has significant exposure. The Planning Area maps are provided in the hazard profiles within Section 5.4, Volume I of this Plan and in the municipal annexes in Section 9 of this plan. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-44 August 2013 ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.1: CAYUGA COUNTY DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Cayuga County, New York 9.1-45 August 2013 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS No additional comments at this time.
