360 Degree Panoramic Images along the Quinnipiac River

Organization: 
North Guilford Studios, Inc.
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
5 000.00
Description: 
To support the creation of 360 degree panoramic images along the Quinnipiac River and its passive recreation trails which will be viewable in an interactive Google maps 3D GIS whole earth model with newly created geolocated panoramic orbs.

Phase III section of the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail

Organization: 
Quinnipiac River Linear Trail Advisory Committee
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
3 500.00
Description: 
To support signage which will include a trail map and information about the natural history and historical aspects of the area for the Phase III section of the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail which will extend 1.25 miles northward from the current terminus of the Trail at the Wilbur Cross Parkway underpass.

Cytec's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) water permit

Organization: 
Connecticut Urban Legal Initiative, Inc.
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
2 000.00
Description: 
To support the review of Cytec's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) water permit for discharges into the Quinnipiac River and see if there have been any violations of their permit during this year or during the past 5 years.

GIS Database

Organization: 
University of New Haven, Dept. of Biology and Environmental Science
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
9 872.00
Description: 
Continued development of the GIS for the Quinnipiac River Watershed.

The overall objective of this specific portion of the project was to develop aerial photographic coverage for the entire QRW and key sections of other watersheds which drain into New Haven Harbor. The aerial photographic coverage can be used for a variety of applications. Users of the GIS can "fill in the gaps" by visual inspection with respect to particular problems. By having aerial photography available as a data coverage in the GIS, a planner or researcher could display the photo and compare it to more general information and assess such relationships.

GIS Data Layers and Analyses

Organization: 
University of New Haven, Dept. of Biology and Environmental Science
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
17 992.00
Description: 
For development of GIS data layers and analyses in support of conservation and sustainable development activities in the lower Quinnipiac River Watershed.

Spartina patens in contrast primarily occurs as small patches. All the patch types have highly complex shapes that may facilitate interaction among patches and among vegetation patches and the river and creek system in the marshes.

Quinnipiac River Partnership

Organization: 
New Haven Land Trust, Inc
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
5 000.00
Description: 
To test various water quality parameters and assess the condition of the Hemingway Creek, a tributary of the Quinnipiac River which borders one of our preserves.

Hemingway Creek experienced degradation by dispersed low-level pollutants from surrounding land uses entering the creek through stormwater runoff, and by silt from roads and perhaps the two rock quarries. The effects of these pollutants have been exacerbated by the many historical physical alterations of the stream channel.

Land Use Intermunicipal Agreement

Organization: 
Rex Development (formerly known as South Central CT Regional Econ. Develop. Corp)
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
8 000.00
Description: 
To support the development and adoption of an intermunicipal agreement with the lower river towns regarding land use guidelines and tax sharing.

Developed potential common regulations to govern land use and hypothetical property improvement increments.

Stream Buffer Initiative

Organization: 
Quinnipiac River Watershed Association
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
15 000.00
Description: 
To support the organization and implementation of QRWA Stream Buffer Initiative to encourage land use practices that minimize adverse impacts on the watershed and increase public access to the river and its tributaries.

Wrote and published the Streamside Landowners' Guide to the Quinnipiac Greenway, a one-stop conservation management resource for waterfront landowners. Developed a youth-centered nonpoint source outreach and education program that trains groups on how to stencil "no dumping, drains to Long Island Sound" messages on storm drains.

Elevation Change & Toxic Organics in the Quinnipiac Tidal Marshes

Organization: 
Yale University Grant and Contract Administration
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
14 294.00
Description: 
Funds are requested to support the continuation of measuring elevation change and water levels in the Quinnipiac River marshes in efforts to understand the rate and causes  of marsh drowning (conversion to mudflat) that has been observed there.

The project produced several observations: parts of the marshes appear to be experiencing substantial subsidence; internal recycling of organic sediment may be a source of material to the marsh surface; water levels are controlled in part by watershed runoff; and concentrations of PAHs and PCBs in sediments are quite high.

Assess the condition of macrofaunal communities in New Haven Harbor

Organization: 
University of New Haven, Dept. of Biology and Environmental Science
Date Issued: 
Amount: 
13 500.00
Description: 
To support the assessment of  the condition of macrofaunal communities in New Haven Harbor relative to selected environmental factors and the structure of the Harbor's benthic habitats, and compare these results to available previous information to assess any long-term changes.
