ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 04/21/2004

The applicant proposes to install two 18" x 12' culverts within Freshwater Wetland PR-27 in the Town of Perinton north of Furman Road just east of the Monroe-Wayne County boundary. The culler will be installed in existing logging roads in order to improve access to the forest land enhancement projects and timber harvest on two properties.  The converts will be installed at  grade within distinct existing channels and fill within the wetland will be minimized.

The Department has received an application from the Town of West Union to create West Union Water District #1 and to take a supply of water estimated to average 7,500 gallons per day for use in the hamlet of Rexville by installation of Well #1 and Well #2, each having a capacity of 30 gallons per minute.  This project includes installation of 4,310 linear feet of 8 inch watermain and 1,670 linear feet of 4 inch watermain and appurtenances, filtration and chlorination treatment systems and 30,000 gallon storage tank to serve 25 residences.  The Department has made a tentative decision to approve this application and is seeking public comment prior to making a final decision on permit issuance.

The applicant proposes to add +/-36.6 acres of reserves to the existing 44 acre life-of mine at the DiSanto Farm Area sand and gravel mine.  The mine is located at 11400 Lock Road, between C.R. 150 and the NYS Barge Canal.  Mining operations in the expansion area will continue as a traditional "cut and haul" extraction of stone and gravel, at a maximum peak rate of approximately 100 tons per week.  Reclamation in the expansion area will return the mined area to graded, stabilized open land re-vegetated with suitable trees and shrubs.

Applicant proposes to dredge up to 60,000 cubic yards of material from the Great Sodus Bay Harbor Federal Navigation channel and dispose of it at the approved open lake disposal site approximately 1.8 miles North northeast of the channel entrance.  The applicant has evaluated the sediments to be dredged and determined that they meet the Federal guidelines for dredging and open lake disposal.  Channel dredging is planned to be conducted to a depth of -14 feet Low Water Datum and an over dredge of 1 foot to insure minimum depth.   Restrictive dates are proposed which prohibit dredging/disposal from March 15 until July 1 of a given year.   Work is expected to be completed no later than October 1.   Draft permit is to be issued for a five year period.
