ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 10/19/2005

The applicant proposes to construct a 125 foot long by 75 foot wide irrigation and livestock watering pond within the 100 foot adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland RC#22 (Class II).  The location is on the east side of Willowbrook Road, approximately 1/4 mile south of its intersection with State Route 199 in the Town of Milan.

The applicant proposes to  channelize approximately 3,000 feet of Demarest Kill Creek using mortarless block wall for the stated purpose of ameliorizing chronic flooding problems affecting residences in the Jeffrey Court area. Portion of this area are already channelized. Construction will require coverage under the Departments "General" Stormwater SPDES permit.

The applicant proposes to fill portions of State-designated Freshwater Wetlands O-9 and O-16 (Class I) for the construction of a new access ramp from NYS Route 9A/100 to the Taconic State Parkway, and the associated relocation of an adjacent bicycle path.  The project site is located on the Taconic State Parkway, approximately 0.5 mile north of the NYS Route 117 overpass.  Approximately 0.80 acres of State-regulated wetlands and 0.08 acre of federally-regulated wetlands would be permanently impacted by the project. In addition, the project would result in about 1.52 acres of disturbance to the State 100-foot wetland adjacent area and a temporary wetland disturbance of about 0.09 acre of wetland.  To mitigate wetland losses, approximately 1.16 acres of new wetland will be created adjacent to the project site, with addition wetland enhancements to about 2.11 acres of existing, but degraded wetlands.
