Adirondack Park Agency Maps “Watershed
Protection Area” that Specifies Visibility from Sacandaga
Reservoir
The Adirondack Park Agency has stopped construction
of a home high above the Sacandaga Reservoir because it would
be within view of the water as a result of a fire and blowdown,
according to a property owner who telephoned PRFA after giving
up hope of using his dream property. The APA web site shows town
maps, such as the town of Day, of “Watershed Protection Areas,”
that actually are depictions of visibility from the reservoir,
rather than watershed areas for the Sacandaga. High elevation
lands facing the reservoir, but several miles distant, are mapped
as “visible,” along with most lands within a mile or
so that slope toward the reservoir.
