Water Resources Management Plan. Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, and the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site
Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, and the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site are commonly grouped together as the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt national historic sites. Primarily managed to preserve and interpret cultural resources, these national historic sites exhibit a regionally-important array of water resources including 4.35 miles of streams, 13.75 acres of ponds, 38.8 acres of freshwater wetlands, 25 acres of tidal freshwater wetlands, and 1.1 miles of frontage along the lower Hudson River all contained within 682 acres. While water quality appears to be good, based on Roosevelt-Vanderbilt national historic sites monitoring program (1994 to present), the knowledge base for all water resources remains virtually unknown; e.g., surface and ground water quantity and general hydrology including aquatic biology, wetland delineation and mapping, wetland species composition and structure, and pond sedimentation rates. Compounding this lack of knowledge about the parks water resources, is the continued residential and commercial growth either adjacent to park boundaries or within the watershed.
