DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update – Delaware County, New York 4-1 March 2013
SECTION 4: COUNTY PROFILE Delaware County profile information is presented in the plan and analyzed to develop an understanding of a study area, including the economic, structural, and population assets at risk and the particular concerns that may be present related to hazards analyzed later in this plan (e.g., low lying areas prone to flooding or a high percentage of vulnerable persons in an area). This profile provides general information for Delaware County (physical setting, population and demographics, general building stock, and land use and population trends) and critical facilities located within the County. GENERAL INFORMATION Delaware County was organized in 1797; however, settlement had begun in the area earlier that century. The Main industries were fur trading, lumbering and later dairy farming. Prior to the American Revolution the settlements of Harpersfield, Middletown and Sidney Plains were established in the County. However, during the war, these settlements were destroyed. Following the war, the County developed quickly with sawmills and various other industrious uses of its many waterways. In 1935, the Town of Deposit was the site of construction of the Erie Railroad; which brought in new industries and workforces to the County. Many other railways, including the Albany and Susquehanna (later Delaware and Hudson) made their way to the County. Farming is still currently a major industry in the County, most importantly dairy farming (Natural Resources Conservation Service, Date Unknown). Delaware County contains rural landscapes, small commercialized areas, dramatic terrain and natural features, including two major reservoirs which are contributing to New York City’s water supply (Cannonsville and Pepacton Reservoirs), agriculturally productive areas, as well as the State University of New York (SUNY) Delhi College of Technology.

The County is bordered to the north by Otsego County, to the northeast by Schoharie County, to the east by Greene County, to the southeast by Ulster County, to the south by Sullivan County, to the southwest by Wayne County (Pennsylvania), to the northwest by Chenango County and to the west by Broome County. Delaware County is comprised of 19 towns and nine villages and encompasses an area of approximately 1,460 square miles (U.S. Census, 2010). Figure 4-1 illustrates the County and its municipalities.

Hydrography and Hydrology Numerous ponds, lakes, creeks and rivers make up the waterscape of Delaware County, which lies within one drainage basin (Susquehanna River Basin) and five watersheds (Schoharie, Middle Hudson, Upper Delaware, East Branch Delaware and the Upper Susquehanna). The major bodies of water and waterways within the County include the East and West Branches of the Delaware River, Little Delaware River, Ouleout Creek, Charlotte Creek, Susquehanna River, Cannonsville Reservoir, Pepacton Reservoir, Schoharie Creek, Schoharie Reservoir, and Beaver Kill. Figure 4-2 depicts the 17 drainage basins found in New York State and Figure 4-3 depicts the watersheds of Delaware County. Figure 4-2. Drainage Basins of New York State.

The five watersheds within the County include: Schoharie Watershed, Middle Hudson Watershed, Upper Delaware Watershed, East Branch Delaware Watershed and the Upper Susquehanna Watershed. Delaware River Basin The Delaware River Basin covers parts of New York State, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. About one-fifth of the Basin lies within New York State. The headwaters for the Delaware River originate in the Catskill Mountains and eventually flow into Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The Delaware River Basin encompasses 2,390 square miles of land within New York State and has 4,062 miles of freshwater rivers and streams. The major tributaries to the Delaware River in New York State include the East Branch Delaware, West Branch Delaware, Neversink, and Mangaup Rivers. There are 188 significant lakes, ponds and reservoirs within this Basin, which include the Pepacton, Cannonsville and Neversink Reservoirs. The Pepacton and Cannonsville Reservoirs are both located in Delaware County (NYSDEC, Date Unknown). Susquehanna River Basin The Susquehanna River Basin is the second largest east of the Mississippi River. The 444 miles of this Basin drains 27,500 square miles covering large portions of New York State, Pennsylvania and Maryland, before emptying into the Chesapeake Bay. The Basin has 4,520 square miles of land area within New York State and over 8,185 miles of freshwater rivers and streams. The major tributaries to the Susquehanna River in New York State include the Chenango River, the Tioughnioga River, the Unadilla River and the Owego Creek. There are 130 significant freshwater lakes, ponds and reservoirs that make

up the Basin and include Otsego Lake, Canadarago Lake and Whitney Point Lake/Reservoir (NYSDEC, Date Unknown). Mohawk River Basin The Mohawk River Basin is centrally located in New York State. The Mohawk River is the largest tributary to the Hudson River. It has a total drainage area of approximately 3,460 square miles and represents approximately 25-percent of the entire Hudson River Basin. The Mohawk River starts between the Adirondack Mountains and Tug Hill Plateau in north-central New York State. It flows toward the east, carving a wide valley between the Adirondacks to the north and the Central Appalachian Mountains to the south. The entire basin is located within the borders of the State. The Mohawk River Basin area includes all of Montgomery County, most of Schoharie County, large portions of Schenectady, Greene, Fulton, Herkimer and Oneida Counties, and parts of Albany, Saratoga, Delaware, Otsego, Hamilton, Madison and Lewis Counties (NYSDEC, 2003). In Delaware County, the Schoharie Creek, a tributary of the Mohawk River, is located in the northeast portion of the County. The Schoharie Reservoir, also located in the northeast corner of the County, is considered one of the significant reservoirs within the Mohawk River Basin (NYSDEC, Date Unknown). New York City Watershed The New York City Watershed covers an area of approximately 1,900 square miles in the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River Valley. This watershed is divided into two reservoir systems, the Catskill/Delaware watershed west of the Hudson River and the Croton watershed east of the Hudson River. Combined, the system delivers approximately 1.4 billion gallons of water each day to nearly nine million people in New York City, Westchester, Orange, Putnam and Ulster Counties (USEPA, 2011). Delaware County is part of the Catskill/Delaware Watershed. This watershed consists of two reservoirs, the Cannonsville and Pepacton, both located within the County. These reservoirs significantly contribute to New York City’s water supply. The Schoharie Reservoir is located to the northeast of the County, and also contributes to New York City’s drinking water supply. According to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP), the Cannonsville Reservoir watershed’s drainage basin is 455 square miles, the largest of the City’s system, and includes portions of Delaware County (Andes, Bovina, Delhi, Deposit, Franklin, Hamden, Harpersfield, Jefferson, Kortright, Masonville, Meredith, Middletown, Roxbury, Sidney, Stamford, Tompkins, and Walton). The Pepacton Reservoir contributes more than 25-percent of the total daily water flow into New York City. The Pepacton Reservoir watershed’s drainage basin is 371 square miles and includes part of 13 towns within three counties, eight of which are located within Delaware County (Andes, Bovina, Colchester, Delhi, Hamden, Middletown, Roxbury, and Stamford) (NYCDEP, 2005). Figure 4-4 depicts the Catskill/Delaware Watershed.

Figure 4-4. Catskill/Delaware Watershed
Source: NYC.gov, 2007 Note: The circle indicates the approximate location of Delaware County. Topography and Geology The topography is typical Appalachian uplands, which are part of the glaciated ridge and valley system that is common to the Southern Tier of New York State. Small creeks, brooks, and streams drain water from the hilltops, which reach an elevation of approximately 3,520 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) on a summit of Bearpen Mountain (located along the Greene County line in Town of Roxbury), to the Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers. The County also contains part of the Catskill Mountains (Delaware County FIS, 2009). Climate The climate of New York State is very similar to most of the Northeast U.S. and is classified as Humid Continental. Differences in latitude, character of topography, and proximity to large bodies of water all have an effect on the climate across New York State. Precipitation during the warm, growing season (April through September) is characterized by convective storms that generally form in advance of an eastward moving cold front or during periods of local atmospheric instability. Occasionally, tropical cyclones will move up from southern coastal areas and produce large quantities of rain. Both types of storms typically are characterized by relatively short periods of intense precipitation that produce large amounts of surface runoff and little recharge (Cornell, Date Unknown).
SECTION 4: COUNTY PROFILE
DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update – Delaware County, New York 4-7 March 2013
The cool season (October through March) is characterized by large, low-pressure systems that move northeastward along the Atlantic coast or the western side of the Appalachian Mountains. Storms that form in these systems are characterized by long periods of steady precipitation in the form of rain, snow, or ice, and tend to produce less surface runoff and more recharge than the summer storms because they have a longer duration and occasionally result in snowmelt (Cornell, Date Unknown). Delaware County generally experiences seasonable weather patterns characteristic of the northeastern U.S. Summer temperatures typically range from about 62°F to 67°F (Fahrenheit). Winter high temperatures are usually in the middle to upper 30sF, with minimum temperatures of 20°F expected (The Weather Channel, 2012). Land Use and Land Cover Land use regulatory authority is vested in New York States towns, villages, and cities. However, many development and preservation issues transcend local political boundaries. Delaware County’s land cover can be divided into six major categories. The first category is forest, which makes up approximately 77.6% of the study area based on the 2006 National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) obtained from the USGS. The second category is farmland, which makes up approximately 15.9% of the study area. Water is the third category with 1.2% land coverage. The fourth category is developed, including residential, commercial and industrial with 3.4% land coverage. The fifth category is wetlands with approximately 1.5% of land coverage. The sixth category is barren land (quarry) with 0.4% land coverage. Table 4-1 identifies the current land use (in square miles and percent of total) of Delaware County. Figure 4-5 illustrates the current land use of Delaware County. Table 4-2 identifies that 2001 land use summary for Delaware County based on the 2001 NLCD version 2. This table was used to compare to the current land use of the County. Between 2001 and 2006, there has been very little land use change in Delaware County. There appears to be a slight decrease in forested and barren land and increase in land coverage of water. Table 4-1. Current Land Use Summary for Delaware County (2006)

POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Delaware County has a population of 47,980 people. Table 4-3 presents the population statistics for Delaware County based on the 2010 U.S. Census data. Figure 4-6 shows the distribution of the general population density (persons per square mile) by Census block. HAZUS-MH uses 2000 U.S. Census data. According to 2000 U.S. Census statistics, Delaware County had a population of 49,130 which includes the entire Village of Deposit. For the purposes of this plan, 2010 U.S. Census data is used to estimate exposure and where loss estimates are available in HAZUS, the data available in HAZUS-MH are used. This data is considered appropriate given the relatively small population decrease between 2010 and 2000. DMA 2000 requires that HMPs consider socially vulnerable populations. These populations can be more susceptible to hazard events, based on a number of factors including their physical and financial ability to react or respond during a hazard and the location and construction quality of their housing. For the purposes of this study, vulnerable populations shall include (1) the elderly (persons aged 65 and over) and (2) those living in low-income households. Table 4-3.

For the 2010 Census populations, all town populations include their associated villages’ populations * Individuals over the age of 65. Percentage is calculated using U.S. Census 2000 total population of municipality.
** Households with an income of less than $20,000. Percentage is calculated using U .S. Census 2000 total population of municipality.
Statistics for the entire Village of Deposit (geographic areas in both Delaware and Broome Counties) are given. The HAZUS statistics for each Town exclude their Village.
It is noted that the census data for annual household income provided in HAZUS-MH is available in $10,000 increments (i.e., $0-10,000 and $10,000-$20,000). For the purposes of this study, an annual income of less than $20,000 is considered “low-income”. This does not correspond exactly with the “poverty” thresholds established by the U.S. Census Bureau, which identifies households with an annual household income below $15,000 per year as “low income” for this region. This difference is not believed to be significant for the purposes of this planning effort. The 2010 U.S. Census data identified 2,813 of the 20,338 households as having an annual income of less than $15,000 (or 13.8%). Figure 4-6 shows the distribution of low income persons using U.S. Census 2000 data. Delaware County is one of the most rural counties in New York State with the 5th-lowest population density of the 62 counties. At an average density of only 32 people per square mile (2010 U.S. Census Bureau), Delaware County’s population is only denser than four counties in the Adirondack Park region. Figure 4-7 shows the distribution of the elderly (>65 years old) population within Delaware County, along with the locations of senior living and nursing homes. An inventory of senior living and nursing home facilities may be found in later in this Section. As can be seen from Figure 4-7, the elderly population is located generally in the population centers of the County (villages and hamlets) without any significant aberrations in density between population centers. Figure 4-8 shows the distribution of the low-income (family income < $20,000/year) population within the County. Per the 2009 Delaware County Community Health Assessment (CHA), the highest income Towns (Bovina, Meredith, Hamden, Delhi, Andes and Franklin – in descending order of income level) are located in the central region of the county. The middle income Towns of Davenport, Roxbury, Stamford, Walton, Tomkins and Harpersfield, dispersed throughout the county, are more rural than the higher income Towns, have one or more large employers, or are within commuting distance of Otsego County. The lowest income Towns of Middletown, Kortright, Colchester, Hancock, Masonville, Sidney and Deposit are generally located on the southern and western fringe of the county, and are typically quite rural and far from major sources of employment. In the Town and Village of Sidney, the three primary areas that have notable concentrations of low-income households are Sidney Center, Sherwood Heights in the Village, and the North End of the Village near the Susquehanna River (Consolidated Plan, 1998).

GENERAL BUILDING STOCK The 2010 U.S. Census data identifies 19,898 households and 31,222 housing units in Delaware County. The U.S. Census defines household as all the persons who occupy a housing unit, and a housing unit as a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Therefore, you may have more than one household per housing unit. The median price of a single family home in Delaware County was estimated at $128,600 in 2010 (U.S. Census, 2010). The data in HAZUS-MH estimates that there are over 34,000 structures in Delaware County, with a total building replacement value (structure and content) of greater than $6.5 billion. Approximately 95% of the buildings and 71% of the building stock structural value are associated with residential housing. Table 4-4 presents Building Stock Statistics by Occupancy Class for Delaware County, based on HAZUS-MH default data.

The 2010 Census data identify that the majority of housing units (73.4%) in Delaware County are single-family detached units. The 2009 U.S. Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns data identified 1,065 business establishments employing 12,390 people in Delaware County. The majority (61.8%) of these establishments employed between one and four employees. Figure 4-9 through Figure 4-11 show the distribution and exposure density of residential, commercial and industrial buildings in Delaware County. Exposure density is the dollar value of structures per unit area, including building content value. Generally, contents for residential structures are valued at about 50 percent of the building’s value. For commercial facilities, the value of the content is generally about equal to the building’s structural value. Viewing exposure distribution maps such as Figures 4-9 through 4-11 can assist communities in visualizing areas of high exposure and in evaluating aspects of the study area in relation to the specific hazard risks.

LAND USE AND POPULATION TRENDS Land use regulatory authority is vested in New York State’s towns, villages, and cities. However, many development and preservation issues transcend location political boundaries. DMA 2000 requires that communities consider land use trends, which can impact the need for, and priority of, mitigation options over time. Land use trends significantly impact exposure and vulnerability to various hazards. For example, significant development in a hazard area increases the building stock and population exposed to that hazard. This Plan provides a general overview of population and land use and types of development occurring within the study area. An understanding of these development trends can assist in planning for further development and ensuring that appropriate mitigation, planning, and preparedness measures are in place to protect human health and community infrastructure. LAND USE TRENDS The following sections present an overview of the County’s economy and agriculture. Economy The economic census provides a detailed portrait of the nation’s economy once every five years, from the national to the local level. The most recent economic census is from 2007, which covers nearly all of the U.S. economy in its basic collection of establishment statistics. The 2007 Economic Census was conducted for Delaware County and the information is presented in Table 4-5. Table 4-5. 2007 Economic Census for Delaware County, New York

POPULATION TRENDS This section discusses population trends to use as a basis for estimating future changes that could result from the seasonal character of the population and significantly change the character of the area. Population trends can provide a basis for making decisions on the type of mitigation approaches to consider and the locations in which these approaches should be applied. This information can also be used to support planning decisions regarding future development in vulnerable areas. The U.S. Census Bureau states that Delaware County’s 2010 population to be 47,980 persons, which is a 0.2 percent decrease from the 2000 Census population of 48,055. These statistics exclude the portion of the Village of Deposit in Broome County. Between 1960 and 2010, the County has not experienced a large fluctuation in population. Table 4-7 displays the population and population differences from 1960 to 2010 in Delaware County. Table 4-7. Delaware County Population Trends, 1960 to 2010

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS This section presents available inventory data for roadways, airports, railways and other transportation systems for Delaware County. Figure 4-18 shows regional transportation lifelines serving Delaware County. Highway, Roadways and Associated Systems Travelers from the New York City area generally use State Highway 17 running from Harriman to Binghamton, to access Delaware County from the south. Interstate 88, connecting Binghamton and Albany, runs along the northern border of Delaware County. State Highway 23 traverses the northeastern portion of the county and intersects Interstate 87 to the east. Intra-county travel is typically on the State Highways of 206, 30, 10, 28 and 257, as well as County and local roads. Table 4-15 summarizes the road segments by classification as provided by DCPD. In total, the DCPD roads network dataset includes nearly 2,600 miles of roads, including approximately 15.3 miles of interstate, 319 miles of state highway, 275 miles of county roads, and 1,985 miles of local roads. HAZUS-MH 2.0 estimates an approximate replacement value of $6.5 Million per mile of major road and $3.7 Million per mile of urban road. Table 4-15. Roads by Classification in Delaware County

Source: Delaware County, 2006 Note: mi = Mile Table 4-16 summarizes the bridges in Delaware County that have been replaced since 2006. According to Delaware County DPW, most bridges were replaced on existing grade. However, all bridges are designed for 50 year storms with two feet of freeboard, or designed to pass 100 year storms with gravity flow (no flow against beams) (DC DPW, 2011). Table 4-16. Bridge Replacements in Delaware County (2006 – Present)

The Delaware & Hudson rail line freight is located along the northern County border in the Town of Sidney. The Norfolk Southern Railway is also a freight line located along the western border of the County. The Delaware & Ulster Rail Road is a scenic tourist railroad that runs along the East Branch of the Delaware River from Arkville to Halcottsville and Roxbury. The SW Railroad and rail yard is located in the Village of Deposit. Figure 4-18 displays the locations of these rail lines. HAZUS-MH uses a default replacement value of approximately $930,000 per mile of rail for Delaware County.
Public Transportation
A public transportation system increases the ability of low-income, elderly, sick or disabled persons to access shelter or evacuate during a disaster. In 2010, a grant was provided to Delaware County from the State Department of Transportation to coordinate the various transportation systems in the County and address service gaps. This grant is in addition to a grant that the Delaware County Office for the Aging originally received for a technical assistance award from the Community Transportation Association of America and funding from the state Department of Transportation to develop the plan. The plan is to enable the general public to use the same transportation sources as seniors, people with disabilities and low-income residents (Breakey, 2010). The status of this plan is unknown at this time.

HIGH-POTENTIAL LOSS FACILITIES High-potential loss facilities include dams, levees, nuclear power plants, and military installations. No levees, nuclear power plants or military installations were identified in the County. Dams are discussed below. Dams A dam is included in the National Inventory of Dams (NID) if: 1) it is a “high” or “significant” hazard potential class dam or, 2) it is a “low” hazard potential class dam that exceeds 25 feet in height and 15 acre-feet storage or, 3) it is a “low” hazard potential class dam that exceeds 50 acre-feet storage and 6 feet height. Table 4-22 defines the hazard potential classification, as accepted by the NID Interagency Committee on Dam Safety. Table 4-24 lists the dams in Delaware County provided by the NID and the Planning Committee (a total of 184 dams). The additional classifications assigned in Table 4-23 are from Delaware County per the original 2006 HMP. Figure 4-21 shows the locations of these dams. The Downsville Dam (Figure 4-19), near Downsville, and the Cannonsville Dam (Figure 4-20), near Deposit, are both owned by the City of New York and are classified as “High Hazard” dams. The East Sidney Dam, federally owned, is classified as a “High Hazard” dam. The Sidney Upper Reservoir Dam (aka: Taylor Reservoir Dam) near the Village of Sidney who owns the dam, is classified as a “Significant Hazard” dam. Table 4-22.
