Article 15 Title 15 Water Supply |
|
| Project is Located: | Clarkstown, Rockland County | |
|
Project Description:
To address drought conditions in Rockland County,
the applicant proposes to
temporarily reduce the daily volume of water released to the Hackensack River from Lake
DeForest, a water supply reservoir in the United Water New York water system. This
will result in more water remaining in the lake and being available to supply Rockland
County. The water supply permit under which the applicant currently operates requires a
minimum release of 9.75 MGD. The proposal will decrease this release to 6 MGD. This
reduction is currently in place under emergency authorization provisions of department
regulations.
There
are two users of the water being released downstream: the Village of Nyack and
part of Bergen County, New Jersey. The water being release is adequate for Nyack’s
needs. Should this change, Nyack has free access to the United Water system. The
reservoirs downstream in New Jersey are currently at a greater percentage of capacity
than Lake DeForest, therefore, water users in New jersey are not adversely affected by the
flow reduction.
It
is requested that the modification remain in effect until one of the following occurs:
December 31, 2002 or when Lake DeForest is above their rule curve and it is at the same
percentage of storage as the three reservoirs downstream in New Jersey. (A rule curve is
a formula that governs how much and when water may be released as a function of
reservoir level.)
The
application is available for review and may be obtained from the contact person
below.

Article 25 Tidal Wetlands Article 15 Title 5 Excavation & Fill in Navigable Waters |
|
| Project is Located: | Rye, Westchester County | |
|
Project Description:
The applicant proposes to
dredge approximately 20,000 cubic yards of sediment from the
City of Rye Municipal Boat Basin and its entrance channel, located at the mouth of Blind
Brook in Milton Harbor. Approximately 1,000 linear feet of the federal channel leading
to the boat basin will be dredged to a depth of 8.0 feet below the mean low water line
(MLW). The boat basin will be dredged to a depth of 6.0 feet below MLW.
Approximately 17,000 cubic yards of sediment will be dredged from the boat basin and
federal channel. An area measuring approximately 4,000 square feet at the mouth of
Blind Brook will be excavated to a depth of 14 feet below MLW to act as a sedimentation
basin, which will result in approximately 3,000 cubic yards of dredged sediment. Open
water disposal is proposed in approved site within Long Island Sound, subject to final
approval by Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
