ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 11/05/2003

The applicant proposes to construct a small (50 foot by 50 foot) pond within the 100 foot adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland MT-29 (Class: II).  The location is on the west side of County Route 83, approximately one mile north of Smithfield.

The applicant proposes to construct a driveway across State-designated Freshwater Wetland MB-29 (Class II) for a single family residence to be located outside the regulated area.  The site is located on the east side of Station Road, approximately 1.8 miles south of the intersection with NYS Route 207.  The 12-foot wide drive would result in the filling of about 0.48 acres of the wetland. To mitigate wetland loss, 1.02 acres of new wetlands will be created on the site.

The applicant proposes to construct a portion of a detached garage and expand an existing residence and driveway within the regulated 100-foot adjacent area of State-designated Freshwater Wetland TH-14 (Class II).  The project site is located on the west side of the Mahwah River at the end of an unnamed access drive that intersects US Rte. 202 about 0.27 mile southwest of the US Rte. 202/NYS Rte. 306 intersection.  The proposed construction will result in the permanent conversion of about 3,000 square feet of the wetland adjacent area to impervious surfaces.  In addition, a small shed built partially in the wetland will be removed.
