NYS Department of Environmental Conservation 📍

It should be noted that NYS Department of Environmental Conservation headquarters at 625 Broadway is built in the 100 year flood plain (shown in orange; red is the 500 year flood plain).

That means it has a more then 1 in 4 chance of flooding in any 30 year period. If the building had been privately financed it would require the purchaser to buy flood insurance to get a FHA-backed mortgage under federal regulations.

While the State Parks Department no longer maintains any highway bridges, with NYS DOT taking over maintenance of the parkways in 1978, the NYS DEC operates division of Operations which among maintaining roads also maintains several bridges on truck trails and other forest roads.
