ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 09/10/2003

The applicant proposes to expand the total Life of Mine area of an existing sand and gravel pit from 10 acres to 20 acres.  The site, part of a 134 acre parcel owned by James Sheehan, is located approximately 1/2 mile west of Military Turnpike and 1/4 mile south of Holland Road, in the Town of Beekmantown, Clinton County.  Mining operations will continue over the next 10 years, with the potential to remove up to 53,000 cubic yrads of material per year, and will include onsite crushing and screening.  Concurrent reclamation will occur as mining progresses, with final reclamation consisting of properly graded slopes, establishment of grass cover, and natrual succession.

The applicant has proposed to add five (5) acres to the existing 47.8-acre Life-Of-Mine (LOM) of the Fulmont Ready Mix Co., Inc. Sand Bank to include contiguous lands to the east of the presently permitted LOM. This acreage is proposed to be affected during the upcoming permit term for the purposes of extracting and processing, by screening and washing, in-situ sand and gravel deposits. The Mined Land Use Plan has been revised to include this proposed LOM area - otherwise there are no other changes to the previously authorized Mined land Use Plan. The site is located on the Maple Avenue Extension approximately 0.8 mile north of its intersection with Perry Street. Application materials are available for public review and comment at the NYS DEC Regional Sub-Office in Warrensburg.
