Floodwater, Stormwater and Other Threats

The Sparkill Creek is rich in history, beauty and ecological significance, however the watershed has faced threats from Rockland County's population boom following the initial construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge which has affected the health of the creek. The creek's flooding, as well as the pollution run off have caused problems for the areas through which it flows.Floodwater and stormwater are among the bigger threats to our our watershed.


  • Heavy siltation from flooding is the number one harmful impact on the Sparkill Creek and Rockland County streams.

  • Flooding leads to increased erosion of stream banks and siltation. Heavy stormwater rips out stream banks and cause high speed water flow.

  • Siltation buries life of the stream, aquatic insects, fish, amphibians, plants, algae are all suffocated by stormwater siltation.
