Location: County Route 4 (North Shore Road) in the Town of Day, New York.
For Adirondack Park Agency: Comment Period Ends: August 12, 2010
Project Description: Improvements to a 9,800 linear feet section of existing utility lines along County Route 4 which runs parallel to the west shoreline of the Great Sacandaga Lake. The existing single phase power lines will be upgraded to a three phase utility line. The existing lines are "radial feeds" which both "dead end" within the project limits. This project includes filling in an approximate 1,000 foot section with utility poles and conductors where there are currently no utility lines. The new section will connect the two radial feed lines and improve reliability of the utilities in the project area. To support the three conductors and ground wire, intermediate poles will be installed between some of the existing utility poles along the 9,800 foot section of utility lines to be improved. Additionally, one utility pole under forty feet in height will be replaced with a new utility pole approximately 44 feet in height and one new pole approximately 44 feet in height will also be installed.

Public Notice
Project Title: Adopt A Natural Resource Agreement and Work Plan for the Fund for Lake George for Removal of Invasive Plants
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) is accepting comments through August 12, 2010 on a work plan and application for an Adopt a Natural Resource Agreement from the Fund for Lake George to treat and remove invasive plants from the following sites as described:
Lake George Battleground and Battlefield Intensive Use Areas; Town of Lake George, Warren County.
It is proposed to treat three small stands of common reed (Phragmites autrailis) and Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), two invasive plant species, totaling less than 0.25 acre near the administrative complex on the south side of the Battleground Campground, and, one small patch on the Battlefield Park Day Use Area. These two sites are located near the West Brook road at the southern end of Lake George. The proposed treatment of both of these invasive plants species is with foliar applied herbicide using a solution of Accord and Arsenal using the approved BMP techniques as identified in the Inter-Agency Guidelines for Implementing Best Management Practices for the Control of Terrestrial and Invasive Aquatic Invasive Species on Forest Preserve Lands in the Adirondack Park 2010, Prepared by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Adirondack Park Agency. The treatment window would be from August 15th, 2010 through September 30th, 2010.
Public comments are welcome and will be accepted by the contact person until August 12, 2010.
Project Location: Lake George Battleground Campground and Battlefield Park Day Use Areas, in the Town of Lake George, Warren County, New York.

Washington County - The Town of Easton Planning Board, as lead agency, as determined that the proposed Cullinan minor resubdivision # 1-10 will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves resubdivision for the purpose of creating two single family residential lots. One lot is proposed along Crandall's Corners Road and the other lot to have access from NYS Route 40. The land lies within an agricultural area of the Town Land Use Plan Map, Washington County AG District No. 3, and Town of Easton Critical Environmental Area -1. The existing original house and barns on the property will retain the remaining land. Views of the Hudson River valley will be minimally impacted as the height of the buildings will be southeast of the viewshed. The project is located in Neighborhood 5 shown in the historic resources map of the Town Comprehensive Plan, and is considered appropriate growth in the re-establishment of the former Crandall's Corners hamlet. A Community Supported Agricultural (CSA) farm is located at northwest corner of the same intersection. The project is located at the southeast corner of Crandall's Corners Road and NYS Route 40 in the Town of Easton, New York.

Washington County - The Town of Easton Planning Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Billings - Briggs Minor Resubdivision # 2-10 will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves the resubdivision of a farm tract in the Washington County AG District No. 3 for the purpose of increasing the size of a lot of a previously approved plat, which plat subdivided an early farmstead from the pasture land. The proposed action will add land along the lot's east and north line from the adjoining field in the Billings farm tract, formerly the Bertha Briggs Farm. The farm tract lies within an AG area of the Town Land Use Plan Map and within Town of Easton Critical Environmental Area 1. Agricultural resources will be minimally impacted as wet areas of the pasture land and a barn foundation lie within the 2.22 acres to be conveyed to the lot. Historic resources and viewsheds will be enhanced with the buffer of land being added to the setting of the early 1800's house on the lot. The project is located along the east side of NYS Route 40, north of the intersection with Burton Road, Town of Easton, New York.

Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton,Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties - The Adirondack Park Agency (APA), as lead agency, has determined that the proposed General Permit for Installation of New or Replacement Telecommunications Towers at Existing Agency Approved Sites will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves a proposal by Adirondack Park Agency for a new general permit entitled "Installation of New or Replacement Telecommunications Towers at Existing Agency Approved Sites" that would allow for an expedited review process for 1) the installation of one new telecommunications tower in the immediate proximity of an existing telecommunications structure previously approved by the Agency and where the existing access drive and utility infrastructure are used to the greatest extent practicable and 2) the replacement of a pre-existing telecommunications tower or a telecommunications tower previously approved by the Agency to address structural deficiencies of the existing tower in order to accommodate co-location of an additional telecommunications provider on said structure; with potential for some de-minimus increase in height. To be approvable under this General Permit, there must be no significant adverse change in the overall visibility of the tower site as seen from public viewing points. The project is located in all or portions of the following within the Adirondack Park "Blue Line": St. Lawrence, Essex, Oneida, Lewis, Clinton, Franklin, Herkimer, Hamilton, Warren, Saratoga, Washington and Fulton Counties, New York.
