ENB Region 9 Completed Applications 07/23/2003

The application is for the installation of two new wells (Wells Nos. 6 and 7) to supplement the existing water supply system at Peek 'n Peak Resort and to provide additional capacity for projected future development.  Tested capacities of Wells Nos. 6 and 7 are 16 gallons per minute and 27 gallons per minute respectively.  The 62,000 gallon per day increased daily capacity will provide for a total system daily capacity of 230,400 gallons, which will accomodate the 20-year projected peak daily demand of 226,000 gallons.  Current average daily demand is 98,000 gallons per day and peak daily demand is 147,000 gallons per day.  The project includes installation of 3,300 linear feet of 2 inch PVC  waterline to connect the wells to the existing system.  Peek 'n Peak Resort is located on Olde Road and the well sites are west of the road, south of the Conway Road intersection.

The applicant has proposed to stabilize the eroding east bank of Eighteenmile Creek between the Burt Dam and the parking lot access point at Fisherman's Park located off NYS Rte. 78. A stacked, stepped back quarry stone block wall and rock riprap would be installed along approximately 550 feet of the creek bank. Habitat improvements would include placement of flow diverters and simulated undercut bank habitat along that section of the creek to be protected. Along with improving the safety and condition of the trail between the dam and the access point, the project also includes intersperced planting of wetland restoration vegetation, with superior erosion control/habitat enhancement qualities over approximately 450 lineal feet of the eastern stream bank.
