ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 09/15/2004

The Department has received an application to extend the water supply and distribution of the Town of Seneca Water District 1 into its Extension 7 and to take a supply of water estimated to average 4000 gallons per day from the Town of Geneva's Kashong Point well.  This project includes the installation of 7,500 linear feet of 8 inch watermain and appurtenances to serve a proposed subdivision.  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 Village of Cohocton proposes to take a supply of water for use in the existing system by the installation of new well No. 4 having a pump capacity of 200 gallons per minute, to back up well No. 3.  The total groundwater allocation is 130,000 gallons per minute. The proposed back up well is approximately two miles north of the Village of Cohocton and 1500 feet east of the Cohocton River.  The file is available for review and comment at NYSDEC Region 8.  

The applicant proposes to remove an existing deteriorated concrete box culvert and headwalls with a longer culvert pipe.  The project will include minor stream bed excavation to prepare an adequate foundation for the new pipe and headwall protection. The length of the proposed culverts was determined using American Association of State Highway Transportation Official (AASHTO) guideline.  Disturbed areas will be minimized and immediately seeded and mulched. The project is located on Savannah-Spring Lake Road in the Town of Savannah on the Wayne County-Cayuga County border.

The applicant proposes the development of a commercial retail center in the wetland and adjacent area of Windward Lake (NYS FWW ON-47).  Construction will include a 5,000 S.F. office building, a 4,000 S.F. restaurant and a +/-280 L.F. boardwalk/pier along the Windward Lake shoreline.  Approximately 2,000 C.Y. of bottom sediments will be dredged to facilitate construction of the boardwalk/pier.  The project site is approximately 200 feet NE of the Canandaigua Road / Fairway 7 intersection in the Gananda PUD.
