ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 08/06/2003

Proposed improvements to the Elizabethtown Consolidated Water District.  The project includes a new groundwater source (taking up to 250 gallons per minute), a new storage tank, and 3,500 feet of transmission main to connect the new source with the existing groundwater source.  Three water main stream crossings of The Branch and Tannery Brook (class AA(T)) are also proposed.  The new well site is located between NYS Route 9N and Scrabble Hollow Road, Town of Elizabethtown.

Applicant proposes to replace existing deterioriated railroad ties (along 235' of shoreline) and rock rip rap (along 90' of shoreline) with 325' of rock rip rap, backed by filter fabric to further protect the bank from erosion.  A total of approx. 40 tons of rip rap will be installed by hand.  The existing rip rap will be reused where possible.  Removal of existing retaining wall will occur in 50' increments with a mini-excavator.  The project is located along Lake Flower at 52 Duprey Street, Saranac Lake.

Proposed reconstruction of the Hadlock Pond Dam, to repair the existing deteriorated spillway and increase hydraulic capacity.  The project includes a new fuse plug spillway, a new 40 foot wide overflow spillway, and embankment improvements.  The spillway elevation will remain the same, with no change to the normal water level of the pond. The water level will be temporarily lowered during construction.  The dam is located at the southern end of the pond, to the east of Hadlock Pond Road, Town of Fort Ann.
