RELCAIM ONONDAGA CREEK-SAVE OUR CITY: DEMAND UNDERGROUND STORAGE
3 pm Hendricks Chapel (SU), 7 pm S. Presbyterian Church (E. Colvin & S. Salina St.)
Statement of Purpose
The Partnership for Onondaga Creek is a community-based organization of individuals
and organizations concerned about and willing to take positive action to protect
the health of the citizens and water resources within the Onondaga Creek watershed.
The Partnership will support and coordinate the creation of a comprehensive
plan for the development of a greenway for the Onondaga Creek corridor. The
Partnership will develop and implement a community involvement program that
will guide the development of the greenway plan; establish an educational facility
and programs that will develop and support citizen stewardship of the watershed.
To achieve these goals, the Partnership will use democratic processes that will
insure that there is equity in the sharing of resources, information, and community
involvement.
Statement of Principles
The Partnership for Onondaga Creek believes that all waters within the Onondaga
Creek watershed have an intrinsic value and should not be used as sanitary sewers
or conduits for waste.
The Partnership for Onondaga Creek will support development within the watershed
that affirms the spiritual, cultural, and economic life of communities along
the creek and its tributaries.
The Partnership for Onondaga Creek will work to protect all waters within the
Onondaga Creek watershed from further degradation.
The Partnership for Onondaga Creek will work to make Onondaga Creek and its
tributaries safe for all citizens by developing plans to restore the creek and
its tributaries to their original channels.
The Partnership for Onondaga Creek will work to protect and restore ecological
integrity of the streams and creeks within the watershed.
The Partnership will work with individuals and organizations that share these
beliefs and are willing to work in partnership to put these beliefs into action.
