Project Description:
The applicant proposes to
construct a gravel surfaced driveway across Freshwater
Wetland HP-27 (Class I) and the adjacent 100 feet. The proposal involves approximately
25 linear feet of driveway within the freshwater wetland and approximately 280 feet of
driveway within the adjacent area. As part of this project, the applicant proposes to
abandon portions of an existing drive which is partially located within the adjacent area
of the same wetland. The project site is located to the north of Dutchess Hill Road
(County Road #40) and east of the Fallkill Creek.

Project Description:
The New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (Department) has made
a tentative determination to approve the renewal of the Lovett Electric Generating
Station (Lovett) State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Permit No. NY
0005711 and to reduce the effluent limitations for Copper, Iron, Nickel and Chlorine to
reflect changes in receiving water quality standards. The Department has also made a
tentative determination to approve a Department initiated modification to the SPDES
permit to require seasonal installation of a specially designed porous polypropylene
fabric filter system (Gunderboom® Marine Life Exclusion System™ [MLES™]) around
all of Lovett’s cooling water intake structures to minimize the mortality of aquatic
organisms that are drawn from the Hudson River into the oncethrough cooling water
currently authorized in the SPDES permit. Lovett is located on the west shore of the
Hudson River at the end of Elm Avenue (#37) in the Town of Stony Point, Rockland
County (River Mile 41.7).
Installation of the MLES™ requires:
• the
excavation of approximately 2,000 cubic yards of rock rubble from the bottom
of the Hudson River which will be disposed of offsite;
• the
extension of the north discharge canal sheet pile wall parallel to the shoreline
by approximately 250 feet;
• the
installation of a 400 foot sheet pile wall parallel to the shoreline which will
create a discharge canal on the south side of the facility;
• installation
of two 30 foot diameter circular concrete filled sheet pile cells;
and,
• installation
of approximately 88 3'x3'x6' concrete anchors.
The
sheet pile discharge canal walls are needed to form a structural barrier to insure
that water that has already been used for the cooling systems at the plant is
discharged outside the MLES™. This also allows for an adequate length of
MLES™ to be deployed to reduce the flow velocity of water through the MLES™
and reduce the potential for debris and non motile organisms to be impinged on
the MLES™. The concrete cells and anchor system are necessary for secure
attachment of the MLES™ to prevent water from entering the cooling water
intakes without being filtered. Additionally an existing boat access to the Hudson
River on the south end of the Lovett property will be upgraded, including
installation of additional shoreline protection (riprap) and a concrete ramp to
allow safe, efficient deployment of the MLES™,.
The MLES™ will be deployed from February
23 or iceout conditions which will allow safe
deployment, until at least October 31 of each year to prevent susceptible aquatic
organisms from being drawn from the Hudson River through the cooling water intake into
the plant. It has been determined that the MLES™ is the Best Technology Available
(BTA) for reduction in entrainment impacts to aquatic organisms for the Lovett Electric
Generating Station.
