ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 07/02/2003

The applicant proposes to repair an 8'H x 18'W dam that impounds approximately 210,000 gallons in a pond which is approximately 5 feet deep.  The proposal includes repair of a 6' x 15' x 40' man made breach in an existing dam, installation of a low-level 12" outlet drain and conduit, reconstruction of the service spillway (4' x 3.7'), and the creation of an auxiliary spillway (2' x 18').  The top of the dam will be raised by 2 feet.  A temporary channel diversion through the breached area will be accomplished via a temporary earthen dike to isolate the work area from the water.  Rock rip rap will be placed on both faces of the dam, and as a splash apron to minimize soil erosion.  All disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched  to establish a permanent vegetative cover of exposed soil.  The dam is located on Burpee Brook, a Class C(T) stream, off Burpee Road in the Town of Lewis.

Proposed installation of 31,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer line in the Town of Halfmoon, between the Grooms Road pump station and the existing wastewater treatment plant sewer on Routes 4 and 32, south of Mechanicville.  The line will be installed along road rights-of-way (primarily NYS Routes 236 and 146) and adjacent easements.  The project will disturb 0.19 acre of Freshwater Wetlands N-27, T-3, ME-14 and ME-17 (all class II), 0.37 acre of wetland adjacent area, and 0.36 acre of federal wetlands.   The infrastructure improvements will redirect flow from the pump station to alleviate capacity limitations in the existing sewer line.     

The applicant proposes to construct a single family residence in the adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland # Q-21 (class I).  Approximately 1871 cubic yards of sand fill is proposed.  An existing camp, garage and shed will be removed.  The project is located on the north side of NYS Route 9P, approximately 1/4 mile west of Fitch Road, Town of Saratoga.

Proposed construction of a medical office building on lot 6 of the Baybrook Professional Park.  The following work is proposed in the adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland GF-23 (class II): 1400 square feet (sf) of paved parking area; and 19,480 sf of grading for a stormwater detention basin and outlet structure.  The building will be 100 feet from the wetland.  The project is located on the south side of Willow Brook Drive, to the east of Bay Road, Town of Queensbury.
