ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 01/15/2003

The Town of Brighton has applied for a 360 Solid Waste Management Facility Permit for the town compost facility located at 444 Browncroft Boulevard, next to the C&D disposal site in the Town of Brighton. The facility has been operating since around 1997, however, it recently began operations which trigger regulatory jurisdiction under Part 360. The facility, which is approximately 4 acres in size, proposes to handle approximately 27,000 cubic yards of yard waste from the town of Brighton. The facility is located on top of a former town landfill.  Storm water will be diverted from the compost to prevent runoff to the landfill or offsite.  The permit application and SEQR documentation are available for review and comment at the regional office.   

The Town of Hamlin proposes to create the Moscow Road Water District to take for use therein a supply of water estimated to average 9,600 gallons per day from the Monroe County Water Authority's Lake Ontario source in Brockport.  The project includes the installation of 10,000 linear feet of 8-inch water main and appurtenances to serve 32 parcels along Moscow Road.  The project will also require the crossing of 5 protected streams by using open trench method and erosion control measures.  The file is available for review and comment at the NYSDEC Region 8 office.

The applicant proposes to construct an 18  hole golf course located  4000 feet east of Middle Road,  3500 feet south of Lehigh Station Road . Access to lands on both sides of the NYS Thruway will be via use of an abandoned railroad bed.  The golf course will be irrigated by using water from State regulated wetland HR-20 . The NYSDEC assessment of the proposed water take from the wetland shows that the wetland will not be adversely affected. The permit will require monitoring and implementation of a contigency plan for water use.  Measures have already been implemented to protect the cultural resource homestead known as the Clark B site.  It is the intent of the NYSDEC to issue a 401 Water Quality Certification to enable the US Army Corp of Engineers to issue a 404 permit.
