ENB Region 9 Completed Applications 09/10/2003

The applicant proposes a modification to the original permit for the Heise Brookhaven Sanitary Trunk Sewer Line to modify the originally approved route to go through approximately 325 feet of New York State regulated Freshwater Wetland LA-8 and the contiguous 100 foot wide regulated Adjacent Areas of that wetland, including a crossing of Got Creek at Thompson Road. The modification of the original route will eliminate inconveniences to traffic along Roll Road during construction of the sewer line.

    The applicant has an existing discharge of  approximately 8600 GPD of treated wastewater to Pond Brook in the Town of Elma  from Camp Centerland located at 2280 Bullis Rd, Elma, NY.  The applicant plans to continue operation of the camp with no changes.

    The department has made a tentative determination to re-issue a permit for a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit under Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation law.  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.  

    Refer to this application by application number listed above and by SPDES number, NY0097624.
