NYS Canal Corporation Launches New Embankment Integrity Website

Scroll down for the NEW announcement on the Canal Integrity
Website, this was our original post when their site launched in
2019
Hot off the press, just uploaded in the past 48 hours... the
prototype Embankment Restoration Project (or Vegetation
Management as it started) has been replaced FINALLY with the new
Earthen Embankment Integrity Program (EIP for short)... it has
already posted the long awaited SEQR Review as well... SEQR is
the required NY State Environmental Quality Review which so many
have made a big deal over in Rochester.
Well It's all here to see: Changed the Title on the NY Canal
Corp Main Webpage
HTML http://www.canals.ny.gov/Earthen_Embankment/index.html
The actual document SEQR is here
HTML http://www.canals.ny.gov/Earthen_Embankment/Signed%20FEAF%20-%20part1.pdf

And if you start using the new Links you get these, each County,
Town & Village is covered

And right down to the Maps that have been updated for the new
EIP Program

I would suggest everyone starts with the Overview Docement.. and
go from there.

It's been along time coming, and the Canal Corporation & NY
Power have finally got this big Erie Canal Safety effort rolling
and it's running on all cylinders... safer embankments and more
scenic views are on the way for the Erie Canal Corridor.
Reimagine That...

This is the new & improved version of Earthen Embankment
Integrity Program Communication...and worth a look. There are a
few broken links to NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation that
hopefully will be corrected shortly.

In this video from the new website, the Canal Corporation
explains how to spot both safe & unsafe embankments, for those
who have difficulty visualizing the danger of unsafe earthen
dams around them.

Well as expected, not everyone likes the new website, including
all the data supporting Canal Embankment Safety, and the way its
being presented.
It appears that a small, insignificant group of "Dam Safety
Denialist", on Facebook, have quite a bit to say about this new
website, none of its good...but all of it was "expected"
Take a look at how "denialist" work

NYS Canal Corporation Embankment Integrity Website Launches on
Facebook & Twitter

Just saw this over the past day.
The NYS Canal Corporation has hit back on Social Media sites,
posting and tweeting about their new Canal Integrity Website.
Looks like an active campaign to curb the misinformation that
has been prevalent on some Rpchester area Facebook group.
That information halted their Earthen Embankment Integrity work
for a short time, but they have jumped all the State
Environmental hurdles and are close to the finish line on their
SEQR requirements. They now have a pragmatic, systematic
approach to embankment maintenance in their new EEIP Guidebook,
that is found on this new website as well.
