ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 02/05/2003

The applicant proposes to construct a 104-lot subdivision known as the "Meadows at Deans Corners" on approximately 310 acres on both the north and south side of Deans Corners Road (a.k.a. State Rt 124), just east of its intersection with All View Avenue in the Town of Southeast, in Putnam County, NY.  The applicant has applied for the following four (4) permits from this Department:

     Water Supply permit (WSA#8934) to take a supply of water averaging up to 49,400 gallons per day (gpd) from 2 on-site wells having tested capacities of 55 and 58 gallons per minute;

     SPDES permit (#NY-0250511) to discharge up to 49,400 gpd of treated sanitary effluent to the groundwaters adjacent to Holly Stream from a proposed on-site wastewater treatment plant.  The proposed subdivision in located within New York City's Croton Watershed and as such will be required to meet the stricter Nitrate and Phosphorus limits for discharges within that watershed;

     Freshwater Wetlands permit to disturb a combined total of 0.29 acres of state regulated freshwater wetlands #PE-1 (Class III) and  #BR-22 (Class III) and a combined total of 5.31 acres of the 100-foot wide wetland adjacent areas around these wetlands.  All of the wetland disturbance and most of the adjacent area disturbance are due to the construction of two access road crossings of these two wetlands and of Holly Stream (Index #H-31-24;  Class C).  The creation of  3.2 acres of new wetland will result in a mitigation ratio of greater than 11 to 1.

     401 Water Quality Certification for the disturbance of a total of 1.28 acres of federally regulated wetland which is located in almost the same areas as the state regulated wetland and adjacent area.  The 3.2 acres of wetland area to be created as mitigation for disturbance of state wetland areas will result in a mitigation ratio for disturbance of federal wetlands of greater than 2.5 to 1.

    

The applicant has applied for a modification of their current Mined Land Reclamation permit to expand the Phillipsport sand and gravel mine by 1.8 acres from its current 11.5 acres to a new total of 13.3 acres, out of  a total of 17.5 acre parcel owned by the applicant.  The 1.8 acre expansion would be on the northern boundary of the site and would not be excavated  but instead would be graded and used primarily for storage of mined material.  

The applicant's Phillipsport mine is located on the east side of Phillipsport Road, approximately 0.5 miles north of its intersection with US Route 209, in the Town of Mamakating, Sullivan County, NY.
