Saratoga, N.Y.  – Congresswoman Stefanik released the below statement following the Senate’s Confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court:

“I congratulate Justice Barrett on her confirmation to the United States Supreme Court after this evening’s Senate vote,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “Judge Barrett is an exceptional legal scholar and is uniquely qualified to fill this seat. She is deeply respected among her legal peers and has a record of dedication to the Constitution. In addition, she makes history as the first working mother to serve on the Supreme Court. Justice Barrett will serve as a role model for young women for generations to come. I look forward to witnessing her service on the Court for decades to come, and I applaud the Senate for this confirmation.”

DMPs Available Nov. 1 at License Sales Outlets

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced that remaining Deer Management Permits (DMPs) in several of the State’s Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) will be available to hunters beginning Nov. 1.

“New York’s hunters are setting records this year, but there are still opportunities for Deer Management Permits across the state. Deer populations are generally at or above desired levels in the units with leftover DMPs,” Commissioner Seggos said. “In these areas, DEC encourages hunters to hunt safely and responsibly and to prioritize doe harvest and share extra venison with friends, neighbors, and the Venison Donation Coalition.” (link leaves DEC’s website)

DMPs, which allow hunters to harvest antlerless deer, are issued for specific WMUs to control deer populations. In some WMUs, applicants received permits during the initial application process, and the DMP target has not been reached. In these units, DEC will re-open the DMP application process on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters may apply for up to two additional DMPs in these WMUs at any DEC license sales outlet beginning Nov. 1, 2020.

Leftover DMPs are not available by phone, mail, or internet. Applications must be made at license issuing outlets. Applicants who previously paid the $10 DMP application fee during the initial application period, or are exempt from the application fee, will not be charged for this additional application. Hunters who did not previously apply for a deer management permit are required to pay the $10 application fee.

Applications for leftover DMPs will be accepted for the following WMUs: 1C, 3M, 3R, 3S (bowhunting only), 4J (bowhunting only), 6P, 7F, 7H, 7J, 7R, 8A, 8C (bowhunting only), 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8M, 8N, 8R, 9A, 9F,and 9G. In addition, bonus DMPs are available for hunters who successfully take an antlerless deer in WMUs 1C, 3S, 4J, or 8C.

For WMU locations, refer to the 2020-21 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide or visit DEC’s website.

During this extended application period, DEC will issue DMPs for an individual WMU until the target issuance quota is achieved. The status of permits will be reviewed each night, and as individual units are filled they will be removed from the list of those available effective the following day. A list of units with available leftover DMPs will routinely be updated on DEC’s website or via the DMP Hotline at 1-866-472-4332.

Grand Isle, VT – The Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) seeks proposals for services to work with farmers in the New York portion of the Lake Champlain Basin to install temporary manure stacking pads on livestock grazing farms. The LCBP will provide up to $25,000 to support this effort to reduce sediment and phosphorus inputs from farms.

Reducing phosphorus inputs from farms is a critical step in improving the health of Lake Champlain. Proper grazing of livestock and management of waste is one of the most important steps to reduce erosion. Locating temporary manure stacking pads in fields has been found to prevent nutrient and sediment pollution to waterways.

The LCBP funding will support outreach to make farmers in New York aware of the opportunity, solicitation of willing farmers to participate, and technical assistance in installing storage areas. A cost-share incentive to farms will also be included in the program. Farmers who are working fields near or adjacent to water bodies flowing into Lake Champlain will receive priority. The LCBP anticipates granting one award from this opportunity.

This project will further the goals of the Lake Champlain Basin Program’s long-term management plan Opportunities for Action. Support is provided with funds awarded to NEIWPCC on behalf of the Lake Champlain Basin Program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The deadline for proposals is December 1, 2020. The successful applicant will be notified in January 2021 for project initiation by April 2021. Details about the Request for Proposals are available online at lcbp.org/grants or by calling the Lake Champlain Basin Program office at (802) 372-3213.
