Westchester is blessed with many active and productive citizens’ organizations devoted to the protection of the environment. Some concentrate on seeing to the purity of our water supply; some fight for the preservation of open land; others focus on more site specific issues such as the noise and pollution caused by the Westchester County Airport or the redevelopment of the Yonkers waterfront. You might almost say that wherever there is an environmental threat or problem, there is a volunteer organization to look for a solution.

Federated Conservationists of Westchester County Inc. (FCWC) is probably unique in that it is concerned not just with one or two of these causes but with all of them. That’s because FCWC is an umbrella organization that for 36 years has been dealing with environmental issues all over the county, seeking to coordinate and support the efforts of all its member organizations. Just reading down the list of these members (see box on page 2) will give you a good clue as to the breadth of FCWC’s scope of interests and activities.

FCWC As Advocate

Sometimes one of our member organizations – many of which are represented on our board – ask FCWC to support its efforts to fight a local threat to the environment or to achieve some other conservation objective. Sometimes FCWC takes the initiative as when leadership was needed to move the pesticide neighbor notification law through the county legislature, or to fight the use of parkland for non-park purposes. Of course, if it’s a county-wide issue, such as the control of stormwater run-off, FCWC will work with county government to solve environmental problems. A quick summary of FCWC’s advocacy activities in the year 20001 is on this page. We do not select issues to support lightly. Time and money are precious commodities. But when we do take on a cause, our support can be crucial, as the FCWC’s views are widely respected among elected officials throughout the county.

FCWC as Educator

FCWC provides a critical informational function. FCWC representatives routinely attend meetings of the Board of Legislators, the Planning Board, the Parks Board, and other public agencies and alert member organizations as to items of significance. FCWC provides county-wide publicity through its website and through its listserve e-mails which provide semi-weekly updates on county environmental developments. Its newspaper, Westchester Environment, has been a crucial and highly respected voice of the environmental community in Westchester for over 20 years and creates a venue for public dissemination of environmental information not reported elsewhere. Conferences focusing on critical environmental issues as they arise are organized by FCWC to create a forum for discussion. This year FCWC started a high school student environmental council to educate and unite students from throughout the county.

Support Critical

Umbrellas protect us only if they are kept handy and used. We welcome suggestions as to how we can be even more effective in the never-ending struggle to prevent the degradation of our water, air, and open space. If you are a member, keep up your membership; if you are not, or are a member of a group not already on our list, please join now. To help support its efforts, FCWC recruits individual as well as organizational member. The dues, contributions and the clout achieved through the strength of its membership are all vital to the achievement of FCWC’s goals.

Your support will not just be for an organization; you will be supporting a healthy environment for all of us, and for generations yet to come.

From a 13-mile walking path along the Bronx River Parkway in the early part of the 20th Century to a major recreational facility for bikers, hikers and nature lovers, Westchester County’s Trailway System has become a green treasure in the midst of a rapidly developing landscape.

Legacy Program

The Trailway system is just one focus of County Executive Spano’s pledge to protect open space. Working with municipalities, New York State Parks, not-for-profit environmental and land protection groups, over 2,300 acres of land in Westchester County have been protected from future development over the last few years. As part of his 2002 “Legacy Program”, Spano pledged another $10 million a year for the next five years to protect green space for active and passive recreation and environmental protection. Part of that focus will be to connect the North and South County Trailways, develop east and west connections to the Bronx River Parkway trails and to create River Walk, a promenade that will run along the Hudson River from Yonkers to Peekskill.

“This is a very exciting time for the trailway system,’’ said Spano. “By May, we are expecting the completion of the ‘missing link’ section, which will close two gaps in the North County Trailway, and by summer we hope to begin work on the a strategic segment of trail connecting the North and South County trailways.’’

Trailway opportunities

The current Westchester County Trailway System dates back to the early part of the 20th century when the Bronx River Parkway was constructed with a 13-mile walking path though the adjoining parkland. Over the past 25 years the county has expanded the system in other areas to create more than 100 miles of hiking and biking trails, often utilizing the former right of ways made available by the closing of several rail lines in the area.

One of the most popular trailways is the North County Trailway, a north/south paved pathway on the former Putnam Division Railroad right-of-way that runs from Mount Pleasant north to the Westchester/Putnam border. This rails-to-trails project between Westchester County and New York State has resulted in 22 glorious miles of mostly continuous trailway in Westchester. With the completion of the “missing links” two gaps in the trailway will be closed, providing a continuous trail from the Eastview section of Mount Pleasant to Baldwin Place in the Town of Somers.

Serving central and lower Westchester is the South County Trailway, also on the former Putnam Right of Way acquired by the county in 1991. There is a 6-mile hiking and biking trail from Route 119 in Elmsford south to Barney Street in Yonkers. It is anticipated that an additional segment of 1.75 miles will be constructed this year to link the North County and South County trailways. That will leave the southernmost portion of the right of way, all in Yonkers, as the final segment to be developed as a trailway.

Once all segments are completed, the 14.1 mile railroad right of way acquired by the county and the 22-mile North County Trailway will provide 36 miles of continuous trailway in Westchester County from the Yonkers/NYC border to Putnam County. The idea is catching on with Westchester’s neighbors working on an extension of the North County trailway toward Danbury Connecticut. The early fears by some whose homes bordered on the trailway have proven to be unfounded and many homeowners have created direct access to the trailway from their property.

Westchester also hopes to branch out its trailway system. A comprehensive plan was recently completed by the county Planning Department that envisions another 267 miles of trailways. Working with local municipalities, potential routes for the proposed network were identified keeping in mind major population centers and the availability of publicly owned rights-of-way on which trailways could be easily developed.

The county is also looking at ways to develop more east-west routes and routes that link population centers, major employment and recreational facilities. The design and construction of easy and safe bike access to the trailway will relieve people from the need to find a place to park near the trailway. Eventually, Westchester hopes to have an uninterrupted trailway system with easy bike access for everyone to enjoy

Riverwalk

A number of other trailway initiatives throughout the County are currently in the planning or preliminary design stages. Among the most notable is RiverWalk, the County Executive’s vision of a 46-mile continuous promenade for pedestrians and cyclists along the Hudson River between Peekskill and Yonkers. The goal of the RiverWalk project is to create a Hudson River waterfront consisting of esplanades, greenways and trails that connect to the county’s main streets, existing trailways such as the Old Croton Aqueduct and other parks. As many municipalities are in the process of revitalizing their Hudson River frontage, the county is working with them to incorporate the RiverWalk concept into their waterfront plans.

Future Connections

Other county trailway initiatives include the Tarrytown-Kensico Trailway to connect the existing Bronx River Trailway with the North and South County Trailways in Greenburgh and Mount Pleasant. Westchester is working with the villages of Hastings and Dobbs Ferry on a connection between the South County Trailway and NYS Croton Aqueduct Trail and working with Lewisboro and Somers on the Mahopac Branch Trailway.

The county Planning Department has submitted grant applications to help underwrite the costs of trailway development through programs such as the Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act and the Transportation Enhancement Program. These funds, combined with county funds in the capital budget, will help to make the “greening” of Westchester possible and provide a legacy for many generations to come.

The Westchester County Trailway system is not only a green treasure, but a hidden treasure. I discovered the system by chance a few winters ago, when I was driving up the Saw Mill River Parkway. I happened to glance out of the window and noticed what looked like a trail running along the parkway. I had never even seen it before, which isn’t surprising: During the summer, trees and foliage obscure the trail almost completely from view. The trail appeared to be somewhat elevated, and I realized it must be a long-abandoned railway bed, piquing my fascination with the history of Westchester County.

My curiosity led me to investigate, and with subsequent trips along the parkway and hunting around, I learned more and more. At some point, the rails had been removed and the trail, paved. I saw a few people walking here and there — but not too many.

That particular year served up a particularly cold winter! Well, as I eventually learned and as readers know from the story above, what I saw was the South County Trailway. Indeed it sits upon the Putnam Division Railroad, once affectionately known as the “Old Put,” railway bed. This was a great discovery for me. I’m an avid cyclist as well as historian. Since my discovery, I have taken my bicycle on all the trails: The North County, South County, and the segment in Eastview near the Tarrytown Lakes and up along Route 9A, which to my delight is soon to be linked to the North County Trailway. The trails provide a unique mix of exercise and local history that is truly fascinating. The trailway is not only for bicycles; people may walk, jog, and use inline skates on the path as well.

The Trailway provides spectacular views of the New Croton Reservoir and other sites, and the trail provides interesting history by way of old railroad stations that still stand. For example, the old railroad station in Yorktown has been restored and is part of a small park adjacent to the path, and the old Millwood station, while in a woeful state of disrepair, nevertheless still stands today. In addition, there are signs along the path that detail the history of the Trailway at various points, and recall the travels of “Old Put,” which used to run upon it.

Typically, my trips tend to fall into two categories, scenic or educational.On a “scenic” trip on the North County Trailway, I was riding alone on the path. No other bikers in sight. The silence was interrupted by the sound of branches rustling and a general commotion. I stopped my bike, and looked into the woods. I spotted a group of about a dozen deer running through the woods. I have to admit, although I have seen one or two deer in the woods or in a backyard, I had never seen anything so amazing. What was even more incredible was that the deer seemed unfazed by sharing a path so close to their woods with me.

Another memorable time came on one of the first rides on the South County Trailway from the Elmsford entrance off of Route 119. As it turned out, this trip provided me with an unlooked-for history lesson. As I rode down the path, I came to the place along the Saw Mill River Parkway I always considered “the place where the Cantina restaurant used to be.”

Perhaps others remember the Cantina on the northbound side of the Saw Mill, just south of Interstate 287. Woodlands Lake is located at this site, but did you know that the Lake was created from a dam that was constructed there, and that the location once featured a lodge popular with vacationers from New York City?

One of the signs along the path conveyed this news to me, and as I paused to look at the dam and lake, I tried imagining the activities that took place there many years ago. The Trailways are a way to preserve old memories and collect new ones — a great place to get exercise and some local history at the same time.

Since the tragic events of September 11, the concern about having a nuclear power plant in an area as densely populated as this region has been heightened by the new element of possible terrorism. President Bush himself said that US nuclear power plant diagrams were found in the al Qaeda caves. In the wake of these developments opposition to the Indian Point plants has grown.

Many representatives in government have responded to the concerns raised by citizens:

Thirteen municipalities in Westchester have passed resolutions to shut down Indian Point. Rockland County and Putnam County legislatures have passed resolutions to shut down Indian Point. The Chair of the Environment/ Health committee of the Westchester County Board, of Legislators, Michael Kaplowitz, has proposed a resolution proposing that Indian Point be immediately closed and an orderly decommission begun.

Richard Brodsky , who just stepped down as chair of the New York State Assembly Environment Committee, issued a lengthy report identifying many of the staggering problems associated with the evacuation plan. The chair of the Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee of the Westchester County Board of Legislators, Bill Ryan, has proposed a resolution calling for an independent review of the evacuation plan. The Chair of the Environment Committee of the New York City Council, Jim Gennaro, has proposed a resolution calling for the shut down of Indian Point.

Seven members of the congressional delegation from districts within 50 miles of Indian Point have joined in the call for a shut down or orderly decommissioning of Indian Point: Nita Lowey, Nydia Velazquez, Jerry Nadler, Carol Maloney, Major R. Owens, Maurice Hinchey, Eliot Engel.

In this issue of our newspaper we focus on the question of energy. The accompanying box summarizes the environmental community’s position on energy reliability and pricing in the event of an Indian Point shut down.

Whatever happens to Indian Point, we are all united on the need for a sustainable energy future. To pursue that goal we must concentrate not only on large power plant generation but also on increasing efficiency, conservation, load management, using renewable energy sources, fostering the generation of clean power on site, and reviewing transmission systems. Such a combination of strategies will benefit us all and we must all do our part to achieve this critical objective. If you would like any further information about these issues, please send e-mail to fcwc@law.pace.edu or call us at (914) 422.4053.

There are five points to remember in answering those questions.

1. Indian Point may have an impact on pricing and reliability only during the hottest days of the summer months when there is peak demand. There is plenty of electricity the rest of the year.
2. There are new power plants already scheduled to come on line which could replace the power now provided by Indian Point by the summer of 2004.
3. The impact of an Indian Point shut down is up to us. Any short term impact occasioned by tight supply can be avoided by a combination of energy efficiency, conservation and load management. California successfully used energy efficiency, conservation and load management to reduce its peak demand by 12.2 percent between June of 2000 and June of 2001, after adjusting for weather.
4. The wholesale electricity prices spike of 25-40 per cent mentioned as possible to date in the press which are based on prior demand with no conservation measures, would result in a considerably lower increase in the average customer’s electric bill. Wholesale energy prices constitute only 30-50 % of the retail electric bill during the summer, so a 25-40 percent increase in wholesale prices translates into a 8-20 percent increase in the average summer electric bill. Taking the highest of these projections shows that an average monthly bill of $100 would increase $20 per month for the summer months or $40 for the full year.
5. Insurance coverage specifically exempts damage caused as a result of a nuclear incident. The federal Price Anderson act limits the liability of all nuclear power plants to $9.4 billion nationwide. Increased electricity prices would be the equivalent of a very small insurance premium to protect tens of thousands of lives and the hundreds of billions of dollars in property damage that could be occasioned by a major incident at Indian Point. This was projected in a study done for the NRC in 1982. Taking some steps to save energy or paying some extra dollars must be compared to the potential consequences of a major nuclear incident.

Overview

Pace University School of Law has the most highly regarded law school environmental program in the country. Pace’s traditional strength in environmental studies has been enhanced by Dean David Cohen who came to Pace three years ago. Formerly the dean at the University of Victoria’s Faculty of Law in British Columbia, where he built up the environmental law programs to number one status in Canada, Dean Cohen brought with him tremendous enthusiasm for the field. In his short tenure to date he has already established new Lectures and Roundtables, strengthened law student scholarship and enhanced funding for student scholarships in environmental law. Pace’s preeminence in the field of environmental law attracts some of the best law school applicants across the USA to come to Pace.

Under Dean Cohen’s leadership Pace University School of Law was also selected to be the site of the Judicial Institute of the State of New York, the first judicial training and research facility in the nation built by and for a state court system; it is expected to be the most advanced judicial education program in the country.

Academic Program

The law school prides itself on the expertise and dedication of its top ranking environmental law faculty. The program consists of 11 full-time faculty members and upwards of 30 environmental law courses. This dedicated faculty is comprised of lawyers who have pioneered the field of environmental law. Students who successfully complete a specialized and rigorous course of study in environmental law receive an environmental law certificate, which supplements thetraditional course of study. Pace Law School also offers the Master of Laws degree (LL.M.) program in environmental law for post-graduate law students, which attracts students from all over the world. Additionally, Pace is one of the only schools to offer a doctoral degree in environmental law.

Starting in the Fall, Pace University School of Law will offer a joint degree with Yale University School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (JD/MEM).  It is anticipated that students in this program will receive a certificate in environmental law from Pace in addition to the dual degree from Pace and Yale and be able to utilize their joint degree for career placements in the field of environmental law.

Environmental Law Clinic

The Pace Environmental Law Clinic represents public interest environmental groups and brings citizen enforcement actions in state and federal courts based on environmental and land use issues. The major client of this award-winning clinic is Riverkeeper, Inc. The Riverkeeper’s mission is to protect the waters of the Hudson River system. Clinic students represent Riverkeeper under the supervision of professors Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Karl S. Coplan in all of these proceedings, and their efforts have led to precedent setting decisions by federal courts.

Land Use Law Center

The Land Use Law Center (the “Center”) is dedicated to fostering the development of sustainable communities throughout New York State by building leadership capacity and citizen participation at the local level. Under the supervision of Professor John Nolon, the Center involves Pace law students in a wide variety of activities. These include research papers, books, training programs, externships, mediations, symposia, conferences, and workshops. The Center conducts research, maintains a web site, trains community leaders, drafts model land use ordinances, evaluates local land use laws, builds intermunicipal and regional networks, provides research and technical assistance and sponsors seminars and conferences.

Pace Energy Project

The Pace Energy Project promotes economic and equitable alternatives to the world’s growing dependence on traditional fuels. These alternatives form the basis of a vision for a sustainable energy future. The Project’s immediate focus is on the electricity industry and the promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy options. Using research and negotiation, the project reaches out to individuals, institutions and governments involved in energy decision making, participates in regulatory proceedings, and litigates when necessary.

Environmental Law Review

The Pace Environmental Law Review (PELR) was established in 1982, and was one of the first scholarly journals established in the then new field of environmental law. Edited by J.D. candidates, PELR provides Pace students with a challenging opportunity to develop scholarly commentary and analysis of environmental law issues. PELR’s rigorous training in legal research, writing and editing is an important enrichment of Pace’s J.D. curriculum, while serving as a forum for the publication of original legal research by Pace J.D. and LL.M. candidates

Environmental Law Moot Court

The National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition is America’s pre-eminent moot court in the environmental law area and tests the oral and written advocacy skills of law students in appellate court litigation. This year, students from 58 law schools assembled at Pace University School of Law to compete in this event. The legal problem drafted each year involves timely issues of national importance to the practice of environmental law. The Pace Environmental Law Society publishes the winning briefs.

The Environmental Law Society

The Environmental Law Society is a student led organization for students interested in environmental action. Students participate in a variety of activities to improve the environment and encourage environmental awareness through citizen action forums, recycling activities, campus awareness activities, guest speakers and the annual Earth Day celebration.

Pace-Brazil Programs

Under a grant from the Tinker Foundation, Pace Law School, in cooperation with other divisions of Pace University and with key universities in Brazil, is establishing programs to further environmental education in Brazil. Pace hosts seminars on Brazilian environmental law geared to working with local judges, prosecutors and lawyers on environmental protection issues.

Judicial Institute

In order to create an academic and research partner for the new State Judicial Institute being built on campus, the Law School has established a Center for Judicial Studies that will help the New York Unified Court System analyze societal, technological and legislative changes that impact on judicial performance. Students working at the Center will pursue a rigorous course of study leading to enhanced opportunities for judicial fellowships and clerkships. It is anticipated that the interaction of these two institutions on campus will strengthen Pace University’s long tradition of providing an education that combines theory with practice.

One Businessman's Story

By implementing new energy-saving technologies, hundreds of companies like Boeing Aircraft, Ford, and Hilton Hotels have realized returns on investment of up to 60%. Soon, mine will join them.

Like most businessmen, I have to work to improve my bottom line every day.  Costs of labor, material and energy keep rising and in a competitive marketplace it is often hard to raise prices to keep up with cost inflation. It is not every day, however, that I find a worthy government program that actually helps me save money.  The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has several programs that can help me save money by cutting my business's  energy consumption and by providing advertising credits.  Also, it is not every day that I can feel good that I have done something positive to reduce the impact of energy use on the environment, while making a cost effective investment at the same time. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, many businesses can profitably achieve energy savings of 30 percent  or more. 

Energy Star Partner

My Hawthorne furniture rental business, IFR Furniture Rentals, includes a 45,000 square foot warehouse, office space of 4000 square feet , and a 6000 square foot clearance  center.   My annual energy bill for electricity alone in 2001 was about $45,000, a significant expense. Last year, I signed up to be an Energy Star partner with NYSERDA and engaged  a local consultant, Roberts Geo Systems of Pleasantville, to arrange an  energy audit.  At a fee of only $100 to $300 (depending on building size), NYSERDA will pay for a full building audit, identifying the most cost-effective energy-saving measures--typically with returns of at least 20%. And the audit fee is refunded upon implementation of the measures.   In addition, new lighting, boilers, controls, pumps and fans carry hefty rebates from NYSERDA to further increase the return on investment.   My out-of-pocket cost is reduced to zero with low interest loans through NYSERDA's Energy Smart Loans Program.  

Owned Facilities Savings

IFR, through an affiliated partnership, owns the warehouse and office space we use and much of any investment in improving our energy facilities is a capital expenditure, which ultimately decreases our taxes on resale.  Moreover, since the value of real property is based on its net operating income, it also increases by a factor of ten times the savings.  Since the recommendations for lighting, heating and air conditioning generally have a return on investment in energy savings of at least 20% (a five year pay back), and the interest on my Energy Smart Loan is less than four percent, this was an easy business decision.

Leased Facilities Savings

Facilities that are leased also provide an opportunity for energy and cost savings. IFR is opening a new 27,000 square foot store in Dutchess County. While the lease specifies that the owner provide a standard heating and cooling system, we insisted upon the option of a more energy-efficient system, upon paying the additional cost. Since the lease term is 5 years-- and may well be extended for many more years--IFR is planning to do an engineering study of  a state of the art system called geothermal heat pumps.    This technology, which is installed at the Westchester Country Club, uses the constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool buildings at savings of up to 50%. With NYSERDA rebates, the pay back for the difference in cost for the heat pumps over a new natural gas system can be reduced to as little as one year, for a 90% return on investment!  It is likely that we will be able to make a smart money-saving business decision even on leased property and at the same time help the environment by reducing pollution.

Advertising Credit

Our clearance store spends over $70,000 a year advertising in the Westchester market.  By including Energy Star rated TV's and appliances in our line and by including the Energy Star logo in our advertising, we received a $6,250 rebate last year.  That is a tremendous incentive both to help ourselves reduce costs and to educate the public about energy-efficient appliances.

NYSERDA Helpful

NYSERDA  offers wonderful assistance for those who want to embark upon energy-saving programs which can be implemented whether you own or lease your property. Unlike some government agencies, the people I have dealt with at NYSERDA were invariably prompt in responding, helpful in giving information and efficient in processing all necessary paperwork. I would urge businesses throughout the county to look into the programs offered by NYSERDA and see if you can't save a buck and a watt at the same time too.

Edward Rosenfeld is Chairman of Westchester based International Furniture Rentals. IFR has 7 showrooms in the NY, CT and NJ region and provides a wide array of furniture rental services.  It operates a Clearance Center at 16 Saw Mill River Road in Hawthorne.

State and local authorities, working with Con Ed and Con Ed’s customers, should begin to develop and implement a plan that will reduce peak demand. The plan should have three basic components:

1. a conservation program to encourage behavioral changes that will result in short-term reductions of energy use;
2. load management programs that will provide incentives for customers to shift their demand from peak to off-peak periods such as night and early morning; and,
3. energy efficiency programs that through incentives and education help customers receive the same cooling, heating, lighting and mechanical services while using less energy.

Behavioral Changes

Behavioral changes are the cheapest, quickest and easiest to implement. Obvious examples include:

1. keeping the air-conditioner at a higher thermostat setting, particularly during the day when many residential customers aren’t even home;
2. turning off unnecessary lights;
3. shifting the use of major residential appliances like dishwashers, washing machines and pool pumps to off-peak periods; and
4. turning off air conditioners for ten minutes at hour. The cumulative effect of these behavioral changes and others will be a significant reduction in peak demand.

Load Management

Load management programs developed by the New York State Independent System Operator and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”) already provide incentives to large customers to shift demand from peak to off-peak and, in some situations, to use on-site generation. These programs should be expanded to maximize the potential peak demand reductions.

Energy Efficiency

While energy efficiency improvements will dramatically reduce peak demand, some require time for implementation while others can be implemented immediately. Replacing an incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb will result in an immediate 75 percent reduction in energy use. Tuning up air conditioners can result in an easy 10 % reduction. Purchasing ENERGY STAR© appliances can make a tremendous difference:

Refrigerator and clothes washers are 50 percent more efficient than those sold a decade ago and, given the current drought, note that Energy Star washers can save 7,000 gallons of water in one year for a typical family, a 40 percent reduction in consumption;

An ENERGY STAR© torchiere lamp is cooler and safer than a halogen lamp and pays for itself in a year or two with its 50 percent energy savings; and ENERGY STAR© air conditioners are at least 15 percent more efficient than the federal minimum standard and far more efficient that the air conditioners in most homes.

NYSERDA has already developed an excellent set of programs to help New Yorkers save energy. More funding for NYSERDA programs and more NYSERDA marketing downstate would lead to major energy savings. To take advantage of NYSERDA’s Home Performance Analysis through the ENERGY STAR© program, to learn how to realize energy cost savings of up to 40 percent, check out:
