The department proposes to modify the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) as follows:

     The reporting of theraputic chemicals is modified so that all instances of treatment will be on a new table appended to the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). This will permit the reporting of actual concentrations, dates, and duration of treatment and the resulting concentration of the treatment chemical in the receiving waters based on actual flow.

     Monitoring information has been updated to include the location of flow monitoring for hatchery flow, stream flow, and treated hatchery flow. These flows are used in the calculation of in-stream concentration of theraputic chemical.

     The reporting periods have been extended from 28 days to 60 days.

The Town of Varick has submitted a water supply application to take up to 750,000 gallons of water per day from the Village of Waterloo's treated source of supply on Seneca Lake. A portion of this amount will then be conveyed to lands at the former Seneca Army Depot for reuse projects including the industrial area, the prison and the Kids Peace facility.

The recently formed Seneca Co. Water District No. 1 proposes to take a maximum of 648,000 gallons of water per day from the Village of Waterloos's Seneca Lake source via the Seneca Lake Water District in the town of Varick. The water will be used for reuse projects at the former Depot property including a new prison, the Kids Peace facility and an industrial area. Water will be provided to the Hamlet of Romulus and Sampson State Park. The permit includes conditions to implement a water conservation program including a water audit once per year to determine unaccounted for water. .

The applicant proposes to develop and operate an eight acre unconsolidated sand and gravel mine. The mine will operate as a traditional surface extraction of sand and gravel by mechanized equipment standard for this type of mining operation. Materials will be processed by crushing and screening using a portable plant having a maximum processing rate of 50 tons per hour. Mining will not occur below the local water table. The Life of Mine area is eight acres; final reclamation will be to agricultural land. The mine is located on South Road in the Town of Sodus, Wayne County. Application materials are available for public review and comment at the Regional Office of NYS DEC.

The Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority (WCWSA) has proposed to construct and new regional sewage treatment plant in the Town of Wolcott immediately west of Ford Road and approximately 600 feet northwest of the junction of Caywood Road and Chapman Corners Road. The treated discharge will flow to Red Creek and its associated state regulated freshwater wetland NW-14. Red Creek flows through the NYSDEC managed Lake Shore Marshes Wildlife Management Area Red Creek Unit and then enters Lake Ontario. A draft wastewater discharge permit is available for review. The new treatment plant will initially have a design flow of 500,000 gallons per day(GPD) with a possible expansion to 1,000,000 GPD. Phase 1 involves flows from the Butlaer Correctional Facility and the Red Creek school and a residential area. Phase 2 could involve flow from the Village of Red Creek and the Village of Fairhaven. Phase 3 could involve flows generated from the Port Bay residential area and the Village of Wolcott and the Town of Wolcott.
