AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the installation of water monitoring systems at class C high hazard dams
AI Summary
This bill requires the Canal Corporation to install water monitoring systems at certain high-risk dams (specifically Class C or high hazard dams) when a local municipality requests such installation through a formal resolution or local law. These water monitoring systems must provide real-time information about water levels and flood risks, which will be shared with local emergency management authorities and made publicly available on the alert.ny.gov website. The bill defines a "dam" as those classified by the Department of Environmental Conservation as Class C or high hazard, according to state regulations. The Canal Corporation is authorized to develop necessary rules and regulations to implement these requirements, and the bill will take effect 120 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing for immediate preparation of implementing regulations.
