ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 08/17/2005

The applicant proposes to fill 0.096 acres of Freshwater Wetland PV-2 (Class: 2) for construction of a new road serving the subdivision of 143 acres into 11 building lots. As mitigation, on-site creation of 0.52 acres of wetland is proposed. A detailed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan has been prepared. The location is south of the intersection of Bower and Van Wagner Road.

The applicant proposes to construct an 18 foot by 100 foot gravel fisherman's access parking lot in Freshwater Wetland PO-1 (Class: 2) along with two 6-foot wide gravel walking paths to Black Creek. The location is on the south side of New Paltz Road where it crosses the Creek.

The applicant proposes to construct drainage improvements, including various stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) and two stormwater detention basins which will discharge to the Mine Brook (Class C), in conjunction with the construction of an ultra-violet (UV) light disinfection facility on a 149-acre parcel, the “Eastview” site. Proposed work also entails construction of a bridge across Mine Brook in order to access the eastern portion of the site. The plant, the Catskill/Delaware Ultraviolet Light Disinfection Facility, will be constructed mainly below grade and is designed to disinfect potable water via UV light up to a maximum flow of 2,020 million gallons per day (MGD), with an average flow of 1,310 MGD.  The UV facility, when completed, will become part of on-going drinking water supply operations for the City of New York. The project will fill approximately 3.1-acres of federally regulated wetland. Approximately 7.5-acres of new wetland will be constructed on the project site as mitigation, and an additional 5.5-acres of new wetland will be constructed at an off site location. The project is located to the north and south of NYS Route 100C, approximately 1000 feet east of New Saw Mill River Road (NYS Route 9A) in the Town of Mount Pleasant and the Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County. A stormwater management plan has been prepared and is available for review.
