ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 12/01/2004

The applicant proposes to build a 1,350 square foot addition onto the existing single family dwelling and fill in the existing sanitary seepage pit within the 100 foot Adjacent Area of Freshwater Wetland RC-52.  A 160 square foot dock is also proposed on the pond within the wetland.  The replacement septic system will be located outside of the 100 foot Adjacent Area.  The project is located on the west side of camp drive.      

The applicant proposes a surface discharge of 7,280 gallons per day (gpd) of treated sanitary wastewater from a proposed re-construction of the former Rhinecliff Hotel and Restaurant, located on the south side of Shatzell Avenue at the intersection with Grinnell Street.  This treated wastewater will be discharged to the Hudson River (Class A) via an existing stormwater outfall pipe.

The Department has made a tentative determination to issue a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit under Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law.  This tentative determination indicates that the discharge regulated under this statute is considered to satisfy regulatory standards for permit issuance, based on information available to the Department at this time.  The application and draft permit, containing N.Y.S. DEC proposed effluent limits and monitoring requirements, are available for public inspection at the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Region 3, New Paltz office.  As a tentative determination, the Department seeks comments on the proposed regulated activity prior to making a final decision on permit issuance.  As such, this tentative determination does not signify department approval for or endorsement of the activity for which a permit is sought or for the overall proposed project.

Please refer to this application by the application number listed above and SPDES number: NY0270849.

The applicant proposes to landscape and regrade a portion of the 100-foot adjacent area of State-designated Freshwater Wetland GO-23 (Class III) to create additional car parking. The facility is an existing warehouse located at the southwestern corner of NYS Rte. 207 and Stony Ford Road.  The project will result in the grading and paving of approximately 0.3 acre of the 100-foot adjacent area, most of which is currently a gravel parking area.

The Department has made a tentative determination to approve this application for a permit modification to allow an increase in the authorized discharge of treated sanitary wastewater from a 30-day average of 390,000 gallons per day (gpd) to 430,000 gpd.  The facility is located on the west side of State School Road, approximately 1.25 miles north of the intersection with Lake Road.  No additional construction is proposed and there will be no change in the location of the existing discharge outfall, which empties into a class B(T) tributary of Longhouse Creek (DEC Water Index No. H-139-13-61-9-25-3-1b).  The permitte will be required to maintain records and report data to verify compliance with the SPDES permit conditions and discharge limits.  A draft SPDES permit (No. NY-0021890) has been prepared and is available for review at the DEC Region 3 Office.
