The Department has completed its initial review of a renewal and modification application and has accepted, as suitable for public review, the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (dSEIS)  from Hanson Aggregates New York, Inc. for their existing quarry located west of Upper Holley Road in the Town of Clarendon.  The modification proposes: (1) changes to the Mine Land Use Plan (MLUP) regarding surface water drainage in the vicinity of the quarry; (2) changes to the location of the quarry sump; (3) addition of diesel-powered backup emergency electrical generating equipment; (4) improvements to the quarry access road; and (5) changes to the dewatering discharge locations.  Additionally , the dSEIS evaluates groundwater and surface water impacts associated with the proposed project modifications and addresses new information on groundwater and surface water impacts discovered since dewatering operations commenced in 2000.  Application materials and the dSEIS are available for public review and comment at the Regional Office of NYS DEC.

 

The Department has made a tentative determination to issue a permit modification to the 360 permit for the Hakes C&D Disposal Facility located at 4376 Manning Ridge Road in the Town of Painted Post.  The modification includes an increase in the approved design capacity from 417 tons per day to 1,000 tons per day.  The file is available for review and comment at NYSDEC Region 8.  

The Department has made a tentative determination to modify an existing SPDES permit for an existing discharge of process and cooling wastewater, from a metal-fabricated parts and  components facility, to Outfall 001 to groundwater and outfall 002 to a tributary of Cold Brook. This modification includes the elimination of monitoring for trichloroethylene.  This chemical has not been used for more than 10 years and analytical results have been non-detect for this time period.  The draft permit is available for review and comment at NYSDEC Region 8.
