ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 08/13/2003

Oak Hill Country Club has proposed to install a Norweco Wastewater Treatment System for sanitary waste near the 12th hole of the west golf course.  The proposed Norweco unit will discharge through a perforated pipe to the existing storm sewer which discharges to Allen's Creek - East Branch, a Class B waterbody, approximately 2,300 feet away.  The proposed system will discharge 500 gallons per day.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has made a tentative determination to issue a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit under Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law for this activity.  As a tentative determination, the Department seeks comments on the proposed regulated activity prior to making a final decision on permit issuance.  A draft permit is available for review at the NYSDEC Region 8 office.

The Town of Geneva proposes to install a new well No. 3, having an installed pump capacity of 900 gallons per minute, to replace an existing well No. 2 which has been abandoned, at the Kashong Point Wellfield.  The existing 1 million gallon per day capacity will not be increased.  The file is available for review and comment at NYSDEC Region 8.  

The applicant proposes to modify the currently permitted mining operation on Texas Hollow Road in the Town of Catharine by adding approximately 16 acres to the currently approved 28 acre mine.  The mine will continue to operate as a traditional surface extraction of unconsolidated gravel materials.  Material processing (screening) has been previously approved for this site.  Final reclamation will restore the site to agricultural use.  Reclamation will include the replacement of stockpiled topsoil and reseeding with an approved USDA NRCS seed mixture.  Application materials are available for public review and comment at the Regional Office of NYS DEC.  

The applicant proposes to construct a culvert crossing on Catlin Mill Creek, a Class C(ts) stream.  The crossing is part of a proposed new haul road for the Wickham Sand and Gravel Mine located on Texas Hollow Road in the Town of Catharine.  The crossing will consist of a pair of double concrete culverts having a cross sectional area of 7 ft high by 32 ft wide and that can pass the one hundred year flood event (1600 cfs) at 6.5 ft of water. Total capacity of the culverts is calculated to be 1775 cfs. Application materials are available for public review and comment at the Regional Office of NYS DEC.
