Summary:
This series consists of files created by the Deputy Commissioner for Environmental Management and relate to the state's response
to federal water-quality legislation. The files which contain information gathered at meetings of the Great Lakes Basin Commission
and other federal-state water-protection bodies, help to document the department's role in safeguarding drinking water supplies,
coastal and estuarine areas, and the Hudson River. Other files concern efforts to protect the Catskill and Adirondacks Forest
Preserves.

Scope and Content Note
This series consists of administrative files created by the Deputy Commissioner for Environmental Management. Some of the
files were created prior to the department's formation in 1970 but concern matters for which the Deputy Commissioner of Environmental
Management was responsible. The bulk of the files document the state's response to the Water Resources Planning Act of 1967
and other federal water-quality legislation and its efforts to safeguard drinking water supplies, coastal and estuarine areas,
and the Hudson River.
Of note are meeting minutes, agendas, reports, and other material relating to New York State's membership in three bodies
that coordinated state and federal efforts to protect freshwater resources: the Delaware River Basin Commission, the Susquehanna
River Basin Commission, and, in particular, the Great Lakes Basin Commission (GLBC). Records relating to the GLBC document
the commission's administrative procedures, the department's role in gathering data that commission staff used when drafting
environmental planning studies, and the regional and national context in which the department's water-protection initiatives
took shape.
Other files document departmental efforts to protect the Catskill Forest Preserve and, in particular, the Adirondack Forest
Preserve. They illuminate the department's position on proposals to incorporate the Adirondack Park into the U.S. national
park system, proposed constitutional amendments concerning management of the Forest Preserve, and the creation of the Temporary
Study Commission on the Future of the Adirondacks. The files also detail the department's involvement in the International
Association of Game, Fish, and Conservation Commissioners.
Several folders in this series do not contain any documents; however the folders were retained because their titles help to
document the deputy commissioner's range of activities and interests.
