ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 01/14/2004

The project involves installation of 5,600 lineal feet of new 20" ductile iron wastewater discharge pipe, beginning at the Village of Rouses Point Wastewater Treatment Plant and outletting in the Richelieu River at the currently existing end-of-pipe location.  The new pipe, required by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Consent Order, will be installed along Route 2  on Village owned lands, New York State Department of Transportation or Village owned rights-of-way, land administered by the NYSDEC, and land administered by the New York State Office of General Services.  Most of the pipe will be buried, including a section along an adjacent area of regulated wetland, and a section extending 55 lineal feet lake ward of the mean high water elevation.  The remaining 420 lineal feet of pipe will be installed on the river bottom.  The old pipe will be discontinued, but will remmain in place.

Proposed construction of a 10 foot wide shale and gravel driveway across 160 feet of the adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland Q-43 (class III), to access a new residence on an upland site.  The project is associated with a three lot subdivision, located at the northeast intersection of NYS Route 32 and Coveville Road (County Highway 69), Town of Saratoga.

Proposed reconstruction of the Starbuckville Dam on the Schroon River.  The existing, deteriorated timber dam will be removed and replaced with a 158 foot long concrete overflow spillway (at the same crest elevation).  Two 14 foot wide vertical lift gates will be installed at the site of the existing gate.  The new spillway design includes a stepped pattern to reduce water turbulence below the dam, and a fish passage area.  Cofferdams will be used during construction to isolate the work area.  The dam is located on Schroon River Road in Starbuckville.  A permit is also required from the Adirondack Park Agency (#2001-232).
