4. Management Unit Summary & Recommendations In this section of the Plan, landowners will find the descriptions of their immediate “stream neighborhood”. The following sections provide detailed maps and descriptions of stream infrastructure features documented as part of the Stream Assessment Survey conducted in 2001, covering approximately 3.5 miles of the main Broadstreet Hollow Stream, from NYS DEC property at the top of the Broadstreet Hollow watershed, down to the mouth of the stream where it meets the Esopus Creek. The stream’s main stem has been organized into nineteen Management Units (MUs). These MU descriptions and companion maps outline stream conditions (its bed and banks), general streamside (riparian) vegetation conditions, and proximity and arrangement of roads, bridges, and culverts. Conditions and recommendations are organized by management objectives: Flooding and Erosion Hazards, Water Quality, and Stream Ecology. These descriptions provide guidance and suggestions for specific projects or assessments in these categories, as well as for additional monitoring that might provide further detail to define specific problems.

Hollow streamside community, local leaders and agency representatives, and identifies the common shared goals that many have for the Broadstreet Hollow stream and its adjacent floodplains, forests and wetlands.
The Broadstreet Hollow is a largely intact and healthy stream system, however, existing and future problems were identified within the stream management plan. The recommendations proposed can serve as a guide for long-term stewardship. The success of this plan will ensure the beauty and pristine water that flows through this valley for the use and enjoyment of this and future generations.
