Position Summary
Through a contract with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection Stream Management Program (“SMP”), SUNY Ulster County Community College (UCCC) will be supporting a newly formed Stream Management Training Program (“SMTP”). The SMTP will provide a platform for educational workshops and events on subjects related to stream and watershed management, targeted at a range of audiences in and around the New York City Water Supply watershed. The SMTP will be structured as a consortium comprising UCCC, NYCDEP and staff from Ulster, Greene, Delaware, Sullivan and Schoharie County Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County working in partnership with the Stream Management Program. The work of the consortium will be coordinated by the SMTP Coordinator, a newly-formed, grant-funded full-time position at SUNY Ulster.
Currently, each reservoir basin has an independent Stream Management Program team who create and deliver trainings on a variety of stream and floodplain management issues to different stakeholder audiences within their respective basins. Audiences include municipal officials (town boards, planning and zoning boards, code enforcement officers, and highway superintendents), private sector heavy equipment operators, streamside residents, realtors, anglers, and regional stream permitting staff. These efforts at the individual reservoir basins are responsive to local needs and audiences, and will not be supplanted by the SMTP. The SMTP Coordinator will assist the SMP and its contract partners at the county Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Cornell Cooperative Extension offices (as needed). The expectation is not that the Coordinator will develop technical content independently, but rather coordinate with technical staff from SMP, its contract partners and outside experts to deliver training on select topics across the watershed, drawing upon each program’s unique expertise to achieve synergies where possible, avoid redundancies and help to ensure comprehensive coverage and regularity in the schedule of offerings of the key trainings.
More information on the various activities of the Stream Management Program and its partners can be found at www.catskillstreams.org
Examples of Duties
