Refer to this application by application number listed above and SPDES number, NY-0256072.

The Department has received a complete application and has developed a draft permit that replaces existing emission point permits at the Agri-Mark Inc. facility. The draft permit establishes facility wide emission caps of 90 tons per year for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These caps are below the major source level thus exempting the facility from Title V permit requirements. The permit also establishes new record keeping and reporting requirements and includes procedures to prevent off-site nuisance odors. The draft permit is available by contacting Michael Sundberg of the Division of Air Resources staff in the Region 5 Warrensburg office at (518) 623-1212.

Dredge for dam maintenance in Freshwater Wetland N-8 (Class 1) and tributary to Stony Creek H-240-14-P503 (Class A)

The applicant proposes to construct a 100 foot x 75 foot pond in the adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland #N-11 (class II).  Excavated material will be used on site as backfill and grading for a new home (to be built outside the wetland adjacent area).  The pond will be used for recreation, wildlife habitat and emergency fire suppression.  The project is located to the north of Grooms Road, 0.4 mile east of Appleton Road, Town of Clifton Park.

The applicant proposes to repair 307 feet of eroded shoreline along the west side of Galway Lake. Repair will consist of placement of native soil, erosion control fabric topped by light stone rip-rap. In addition the applicant will construct an 8 ft. wide by 18 ft. long concrete boat access ramp and a 33 ft long laid up stone retaining wall. The project is located off of Palmer Rd.

The applicant proposes to construct a 90'X 30' residence,  metal storage barn on a concrete slab and a well 50' into the 100' buffer of NYS Wetland F-7 (Class 2). Excavation and placement of fill will occur in the 100' buffer area. In addition, approximately 300 cubic yards of sand and gravel fill plus a culvert will be used to create a road through the wetland and buffer to access the rear of the property.  The purpose of locating the residence further back on the lot is to reduce road noise and create a better area for construction.

The applicant is proposing to construct a non-residential structure, a dock for 20 boats.

The applicant is proposing to preform maintenance dredging of approximately 2000 cubic yards of material from an one acre portion of its existing dock space on Lake George.
