Résumé

This Title of the Environmental Conservation Law of New York New adopts the Champlain Basin Compact. It provides that the signatory parties recognize the water and related resources of the Champlain Basin as regional assets vested with local, state and national interests for which they have joint responsibility, and that the conservation, utilization, development, management and control of the water and related resources of the Champlain Basin under a comprehensive multi-purpose plan is essential to provide the greatest benefits for the public welfare. The signatory parties acknowledge that planning and protection are essential in order to assure orderly development, safeguard the values of the area, and preserve the magnificent beauties and amenities of the great boundary sea of Lake Champlain and its environs, and this need is greatest in the areas most subject to the pressures of urbanization, the counties riparian on Lake Champlain and in particular the lake and its immediate environs.
