Establishes a stakeholder group in the Oswego river basin
S 4815 establishes a stakeholder group to coordinate water releases in the Oswego river basin. The bill requires the state corporation to form this group within six months, including entities controlling flood discharges, community groups, environmental experts, and the Department of Environmental Conservation. The group must review flood storage and watershed release strategies, then recommend a regulatory structure to the governor and legislative leaders within six months. This bill directly affects water management entities and communities in the Oswego basin by creating a process for coordinated flood response, without immediately changing existing water management rules.
