ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 04/20/2005

    Applicant proposes to completely rehabilitate the existing Chelsea Cove Wastewater Treatment Plant(WWTP) building and expand the existing gravel driveway access in order to provide a turnaround area for delivery trucks.  This project will require some additional grading and fill within a vegetated area extending out approximately 20 feet toward freshwater wetland HJ-13 (class II) along approximately 90 feet of the driveway edge.  The majority of the WWTP rehabilitation will be done within the wetland 100 foot adjacent area.

    The project site is located on the southern side of Miller Road and northwest of Sylvan Lake Road.

    Applicant proposes to expand its existing sand and gravel mining operations into an additional 11.5 acres immediately adjacent to the existing 26 acre mine located within a 241 acre parcel owned by the applicant.  The new acreage is located to the northeast of the existing excavation area and to the southeast of the current excavation area .  The final floor elevation for the new area is proposed to be the same as the current  mine - 310 feet.  The applicant will continue to excavate with a front end loader and use a portable dry screen processing plant.  The mining area is located on the west side of White Schoolhouse Road, approximately 3,000 feet south of Route 308.  State wetland RC-25 is located immediately east of the mine.  No mining of the expansion acreage will take place within 100 feet of this wetland.

    The Town has applied for a permit for an existing overflow from its Lake Nanuet Park swimming pool to the Nauraushaun Brook[class c(t)].  The swimming pool is supplied by well water and treated with sodium hypochlorite(15%).  The Department has prepared a draft permit with proposed effluent discharge limitations and monitoring requirements to ensure that the water quality standards of Nauraushaun Brook are met. A copy of this draft permit is available for review at the Department`s Region 3 office.

    At the completion of the 2005 swimming season, the pool is to be drained and the entire swimming pool complex rebuilt.  The overflow to Nauraushaun Brook will be eliminated.  A permanent outfall pipe structure to the Brook will be constructed to convey pool water whenever it is drained.  Another permanent outfall structure to the Brook will be constructed to carry overflows from the filter building blending tank.  The project work area is located within the north end of the Park off Lake Nanuet Drive.

The applicant proposes to place rock rip-rap along approximately 80 feet of eroding streambank on Woodland Valley Creek. The location is on the east side of Woodland Valley Road just south of the intersection with Pantherkill Road.
