Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to support the modification of the Catalum SPDES Permit. As part of
this EIS, we are looking at the socioeconomic impacts of various ways of managing Ashokan Reservoir to
enhance benefits to the community, improve flood attenuation, and provide better water quality. Your
responses will greatly aid in the evaluation of potential impacts from changes to water conditions in lower
Esopus Creek.

Your address was randomly selected from addresses located near or in the vicinity of lower Esopus Creek. The
survey is voluntary and we appreciate your participation.
The survey is entirely confidential. Your survey responses will only be analyzed after all personal identifying
information is removed. Survey responses will be aggregated and used only for the socioeconomic analyses.
The survey will take approximately 10-12 minutes.
