The Town of Clinton Adopts the Natural Resources Inventory
What is the Natural Resources Inventory?
The Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) provides an important foundation for planners and decision-makers for many planning groups, including Towns. They can provide a basis for proactive planning and policies that consider community priorities like habitat connectivity, source water protection, and scenic views.
The NRI compiles and describes important, naturally occurring resources within a given locality (e.g., municipality, watershed, or region). Cultural resources, such as historic, scenic, and recreational resources, are often included in an NRI, as well. The inventory has two basic purposes: 1) to provide the building blocks for comprehensive land-use and conservation planning, and 2) to allow natural resource information to be included in local planning and zoning.

Green House Gas Inventory
The Town of Clinton recognizes that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activity are causing climate change, the consequences of which pose substantial risks to the future health and well-being of our community. To demonstrate its commitment to addressing the growing threat of climate change, in July 2017, Clinton became a registered Climate Smart Community by formally adopting the New York State Climate Smart Communities (CSC) pledge.
This GHG Inventory for Government Operations Report summarizes the GHG emissions from Clinton’s consumption of energy and materials within town-owned buildings, vehicle fleet, outdoor lighting, and other facilities. This data was generated from electric, heating oil, diesel, gasoline and propane bills for all Town-owned buildings and operations, as well as fuel records for the Clinton’s vehicle fleet. The GHG emissions for all local government operations are measured in metric tons of CO2 equivalents (MTCO2e) and were calculated using emissions factors by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the GHG Inventory Tool developed by Climate Action Associates (CAA), LLC’s.
