Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands |
|
| Project is Located: | Livonia, Livingston County | |
|
Project Description:
The applicant has enrolled
in the Wetlands Reserve Program, through which the
Livingston County Natural Resource Conservation Services has developed a proposal to
restore and enhance an existing monotypical cattail wetland area within NYS DEC
regulated Freshwater Wetland LV-1 (Class III). This wetland habitat modification will be
accomplished by constructing a 100' low berm designed to flood an area enhanced by
shallow wildlife potholes connected by level ditching. The low berm will feature an in-line water control
structure. Vegetation will be cleared only in the vicinity of the berm
and potholes. Areas of open water interspersed with wetland emergent vegetation will
benefit waterfowl, fur-bearers, and other wildlife. Application materials are available for
public review and comment at the NYS DEC Regional Headquarters.

Article 15 Title 5 Excavation & Fill in Navigable Waters |
|
| Project is Located: | Rochester, Monroe County | |
|
Project Description:
CSX Tranportation, Inc.
proposes to construct 220 linear feet (LF) (265 LF including
wing walls) of sheet piling to allow excavation of impacted soils along the shoreline of the
Genesee River, parallel to River Street and approximately 340 feet northeast of Latta
Road, in association with the Genesee Riverbank Remediation. The proposed wall will act
as a dam to prevent sedimentation during the excavation process. A turbidity curtain will
be installed approximately 15 feet offshore to act as secondary containment of sediments.
This project does not include any dredging or discharge of sediments. The area will be
backfilled with clean soils. Following the remediation, the applicant proposes to transfer
the wall to the City of Rochester for incorporation into the River Street Waterfront and
Train Depot Project which will include a public promenade along the Genesee River. The
project file is available for review and comment at the NYSDEC Region 8 office.

Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands |

Project Description:
New York State Electric
& Gas Corporation (NYSEG) proposes to use the herbicide
Accord to selectively stump treat tall growing vegetation along with hand cutting to
control vegetation on a two mile long section of the right-of-way for NYSEG’s Montour
Falls - Watkins Glen 34.5 kV (kilovolt) electric transmission line adjacent to Rock Cabin
Road. NYSEG’s project will affect 50 feet on either side of the centerline of the electric
transmission line, which is located within the Village of Montour Falls, Town of
Montour Falls, Village of Watkins Glen and the Town of Dix, in Schuyler County. The
project will affect portions of NYS Freshwater Wetland, MF-1 (Class I), and its 100 foot
adjacent area. Freshwater wetland MF-1 is located within the Catharine Creek Marsh
State Wildlife Management Area, which is administered by the NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation. The Catharine Creek Marsh and the Rock Cabin Road
corridor have been noted as areas of high biological richness. Among the rich biota that
inhabit the Rock Road corridor are patches of the nodding wild onion, a threatened
species in New York State, and three locally rare butterfly species, which use a grove of
hackberry trees as a food source and obtain water and nutrients in seeps that flow across
the dirt road and gets captured in the road’s potholes. NYSEG has made modifications to
its project to avoid potentially significant impacts to the areas plants and animals, while
still meeting its objective of controlling vegetation within the electric transmission line
right-of-way to prevent power interruptions. Copies of the applications can be reviewed
in the Watkins Glen Public Library and the Montour Falls Library.
