| Permit(s) Applied for: |
Article 23 Title 27 Mined Land Reclamation |
| Project is Located: | Fishkill, Dutchess County |
| Project Description: | |
|
Thalle Industries, has submitted permit applications to expand its existing rock quarry mine which is located on the east side of Route 9 approximately 1.8 miles south of Interstate 84, in the Town of Fishkill, Dutchess County. The Applicant proposes to expand its rock quarry mining operation by 29 acres immediately east and south of the existing, operating mining site. About 13.4 million tons of rock would be mined within the expansion area in a four-phase sequence over an estimated period of 38 years. The Applicant proposes to use a bench design with 25-foot-high faces and 20-foot-wide benches. A portable primary crusher would be located at the working face of the expansion area, and covered conveyors would be used to transport crushed stone back to the existing mineral processing area. The Applicant is requesting: -- A Mined Land Reclamation permit modification pursuant to Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 23, Title 27; -- A State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit pursuant to ECL Article 17, Titles 7 and 8; The SPDES permit is required in relation to the point discharge of stormwater into an unnamed tributary of Clove Creek at two locations within the northerly section of the existing mine, and the relocation of a portion of an intermittent tributary of Clove Creek within the expansion area. -- and, An Air Pollution Control permit pursuant to ECL Article 19. The air pollution control permit, known as an Air State Facility permit, would regulate air emissions from all sources at the site, including an existing aggregate processing facility and asphalt plant. The proposed 29-acre expansion would not alter the operation of the asphalt plant. However, the Applicant has proposed the installation of a new portable primary crusher at the working face of the quarry expansion and the use of a series of conveyor belts to transport the crushed rock to the existing processing area. The crusher would be powered by a diesel generator. The Department has scheduled a Legislative Hearing and an Issues Conference on these applications and on the recently accepted Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS). Additional information on the Hearing and the DEIS can be found in the "Combined Notice of Complete Application and Hearing" in the Hearings section of this website at: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/notices/thalle.html |

| Project Description: | |
|
The Department has made
a tentative determination to issue a permit for a State Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (P/C/I SPDES) permit under Article 17 of the
Environmental Conservation law for a proposed discharge of 5,000 gallons per day (gpd)
of treated sanitary wastewater to an unnamed tributary flowing toWappinger Creek from
an existing shopping center, Lawrence Farms. The project is designed to accommodate
expansion of the facility with the addition of one new building and will replace the
existing subsurface system. This tentative determination indicates that the discharge
regulated under this statute is considered to satisfy regulatory standards for permit
issuance, based on information available to the Department at this time. As a tentative
determination, the Department seeks comments on the proposed regulated activity prior
to making a final decision on permit issuance. As such, this tentative determination does
not signify department approval for or endorsement of the activity for which a permit is
sought or for the overall proposed project. A draft permit indicating the Department's
proposed effluent limitations and monitoring requirements has been prepared and is
available for review.

Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Section 401 - Clean Water Act Water Quality Certification Article 15 Title 15 Water Supply Article 15 Title 5 Stream Disturbance |
| Project is Located: | La Grange, Dutchess County |
| Project Description: | |
|
The Dutchess County Water
and Wastewater Authority has applied for permits to
construct and operate the Dutchess Central Water Transmission Line, consisting of
construction of approximately 70,000 linear feet of watermain and a series of booster
pump stations, to convey potable water purchased from the Poughkeepsie Joint Water
Board's Water Treatment Plant for transmission from a connection at Overrocker Road in
the Town of Poughkeepsie, through the Towns of LaGrange, Wappinger and East
Fishkill, to the IBM Plant on Route 52 in East Fishkill. Throughout most of its length,
the pipeline would be installed in the bed of an abandoned railroad right-of-way, but at
the southern terminus, in the Town of East Fishkill, it would be installed along Fishkill
Road and Palen Road. At full capacity, the Water Authority proposes to transmit up to
4.25 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) of water through the pipeline. Initially, the
primary customer would be the IBM East Fishkill Plant, which would use approximately
2.0 MGD from the pipeline.
The Water Authority has
applied for the following four (4) permits from this Department:
Water
Supply (WSA#10501); To take up to 4.25 MGD from the Poughkeepsie Joint
Water Treatment Plant, and provide the initial 2.0 MGD to the IBM East Fishkill Plant.
Stream
Protection; Installation of the pipeline will involve boring under three protected
streams to minimize impacts of pipeline installation on the bed of those streams. The
protected streams are the Wappingers Creek (Town of Poughkeepsie), Sprout Creek
(Town of East Fishkill) and Fishkill Creek & Whortekill Creek (Town of East Fishkill).
Freshwater
Wetlands; The construction of the pipeline would be primarily limited to
the existing railroad berm which is within the 100-foot wide adjacent area of ten (10)
state regulated freshwater wetlands along the pipeline route. The water line will disturb a
limited amount of freshwater wetland area itself when it has to be constructed outside the
existing railroad berm in order to go under several streams.
401-Water
Quality Certification; The installation of the pipeline will disturb limited
areas of federal wetlands. However, these federal wetland disturbances are eligible for
coverage under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's Nationwide Permit (NWP) Program
by NWP #12 (Utility Line Activities). Because the installation of this pipeline may
disturb more that 0.1 acres of federal wetland, it is not eligible for the Statewide 401-Water Quality
Certification for this type of activity, but is subject to an individual review
and certification.
