"...After the Delaware Avenue Bridge in the Town of Bethlehem [Delmar/Normansville], there is a small set of falls followed by relatively shallow depths and moderate flow over a gravelly substrate for approximately 1 mile through a wooded gorge. A mix of steep shale ravines and clay banks runs downstream to the tidal portion of the study area, which is referred to on some maps as “Island Creek.” This lower mile of the creek flows over a deep substrate of silt and clay and is characterized by wide mud flats extending to the Normans Kill’s confluence with the Hudson River. Part of the tidal portion of the Normans Kill has been channelized [Z] to accommodate industrial use of the area east of State Route 32 proximate to the Port of Albany. West of Route 32, however, the tidal stream and associated riparian zone remain in a relatively natural condition. Habitat disturbance in this area is generally limited to road and rail crossings, litter, and discharges of stormwater runoff from paved surfaces...."

while living with the Albany area for many years I crossed the Delaware Ave bridge in background often... I spent time foraging with Normans Kill with Guilderland and Altamont giving Thanks with the Earth, Air, Fire and Water there... 10+ miles upstream...
intentions with three site foundation carries upstream to headwaters remediation activation... drawing toward headwaters with intentions...
with over 2,000 miles drawn/marked, over 580 sites drawn/marked along 32 rivers and creeks and with over 200 cities/towns with 7 Eastern US states since 7/27/2016...

Love & Peace with CoCreativity with all...
