                                BILL NUMBER:S6905

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the executive law, in relation to
declaring Ballston Lake as a major inland lake for purposes of
inclusion in a waterfront revitalization program

PURPOSE:

To designate Ballston Lake as an Inland Waterway and thereby allow
local communities to participate in New York's Coastal and Inland
Waterways Program.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

The bill amends Subdivision 4 of Section 911 of the Executive Law by
expanding the definition of Inland Waterways to include Ballston Lake.

JUSTIFICATION:

The Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways
Act (Article 42 of the Executive Law) authorizes and encourages local
governments to develop a waterfront revitalization program for their
coastal areas and inland waterways. The Department of State offers
technical assistance in the preparation of plans, and communities with
approved programs can be eligible for state grants for
waterfront-related projects.

Section 911 of the Executive Law specifies the lakes, rivers and
creeks which are defined as "inland waterways" for purposes of this
program. In recent years, several waterways have been added to the
definition, reflecting the interest in the program and the benefits to
the local communities of participating.

This legislation would expand the definition of inland waterways to
specifically include Ballston Lake, which is located in southern
Saratoga County. Most of the Lake is in the Town of Ballston, with a
small portion being in the Town of Clifton Park. Both towns have
passed resolutions in support of designating the Lake as an inland
waterway. The towns recognize that the Lake is an important natural
resource, which serves as both a primary source of drinking water for
many families as well as a recreational resource. They note that
participation in the program can help encourage and facilitate public
access and encourage the restoration and revitalization of natural and
man-made resources.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediately
