ENB Region 4 Completed Applications 11/02/2005

The applicant proposes to restore an eroded stream bank along the Susquehanna River. The project consists of scalping a gravel bar formed from the eroded bank and placing rip rap along 120 feet of the eroded stream bank.  The project is located on Covered Bridge Road  just off State Route 357.

As a result of design modifications at the Recycled Newsprint Facility the permittee is proposing to modify the existing Air State Facility permit.  The modifications include; 1) source reduction of VOC emissions through use of low-VOC chemicals; 2) reduced emissions of non-criteria pollutants; 3) elimination of the 213-foot stack as result of reducing non-criteria pollutants; 4) a modification of on-site truck operations due to a reduction in size of the receiving and shipping warehouses. The Department has determined the proposed modifications will result in less impacts.  The facility is located off Riverside Avenue in the Port of Rensselaer.

Please note that notice of this modification was initially published in the September 14, 2005 Environmental Notice Bulletin. However, the permit type in that notice was incorrectly identified as an industrial SPDES permit.  

The applicant proposes to mine sand and gravel from a 32.7 acre life of mine area on a 156 acre parcel of land in the Town of Schaghticoke. The proposed project site is located on the south side of NYS Route 67, approximately one mile west of the intersection of NYS Route 67 and NYS Route 40.  The mine access road will exit onto NYS Route 67.  MLF # 40762
