with congruence Normans Kill and Hudson River...
"...After the Delaware Avenue Bridge [third site] in the Town of Bethlehem [Delmar], 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...."
