ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 06/16/2004

The Department has received an application from the Village of Wellsburg to take a supply of water estimated to average 75,000 gallons per day from the Elmira Water Board sources.  This project includes the installation of 16,636 linear feet of 10 inch water main and 3,978 linear feet of 8 inch water main and appurtenances to serve the 175 residential structures, 20 commercial structures, one industrial grinding shop and one mobile home park (114 trailers).  The water system serves 3 residences in the Town of Ashland and 7 units in Pennsylvania, currently served by Well #6.  The Department has made a tentative determination to approve this application and is seeking public comment prior to making a final decision on permit issuance.

The applicant proposes to construct the second phase of the Erie Station Village Apartment project on their property located on the north side of Erie Station Rd. in Town of Henrietta, Monroe County.  The project involves the relocation of 950 lineal feet of intermittant stream with a new channel that will be required to contain the 100 year storm flood flow.  In addition, 850 lineal feet of riparian stream corridor will be restored with an expanded wetland fringe, 0.5 acre of new wetland will be created, and an additional 400 feet of the stream will be enhanced with plantings.  The Department is prepared to issue a 401 Water Quality Certification for the project.

The application and file are available for review at the Region 8 office located at 6274 East Avon - Lim Rd. in Avon, NY.

The applicant proposes to install an additional 312' of gabion basket retaining wall along the bank of Salmon Creek to provide erosion control for the Hilton Village II Apartments located at 460 Village Drive in the Village of Hilton, Monroe County.  

The application and file are available for review at the Region 8 Office located at 6274 East Avon - Lima Rd., Avon, NY.

The applicant proposes a modification of the Savona Pit sand and gravel mine.  The modification will add approximately 8.1 acres of new gravel reserves to the existing 5.8 acre life-of-mine area. Mining in the expansion area will continue the current operations as a traditional surface extraction of the gravelly silt loams which are the principal soils types on the site.  Processing will be by portable crushing and screening equipment.  No changes to the rate of mining, truck traffic volumes or hours of operation are proposed.  Reclamation will restore the site to graded, re-vegetated open land.  The project site is on the Curtis Hopkins property, east of State Rt. 415 approximately 700 ft. north of the Mill Road intersection.  

The Department has made a tentative determination to issue a SPDES permit for a discharge of approximately 10,100 gallons per day of treated sanitary effluent from the applicant's existing and proposed septic systems to groundwater.  The applicant proposes to expand a campground to 228 campsites which triggers an individual SPDES permit. The file is available for review and comment at NYSDEC Region 8.
