ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 12/28/2005

The applicant proposes the construction of a 30' long x 3' high concrete block retaining wall in an effort to control slope erosion. The wall will be constructed in the New York State Freshwater Wetland Adjacent area and above the Irondequoit Bay mean high water level.

The Department has received an application for the construction of three stormwater management facilities including stone access drives and outlet structures, partially within NYSDEC adjacent area as part of a 155 lot subdivision located on Route 31F in the Town of Perinton.  This project also involves construction of approximately 445 linear feet of sanitary sewer with stone access drive within NYSDEC adjacent area in one location and approximately 105 linear feet of sanitary sewer in another location, installation of approximately 80 linear feet of 48 inch corrugated plastic pipe culvert under the proposed main access road and installation of the outlet pipe for Stormwater Management Pond C into a class B tributary of Irondequoit Creek.  The Department has made a tentative decision to approve this application.  As a tentative determination, the Department is seeking public comments prior to making a final decision on permit issuance.   

The City of Canandaigua proposes to install stone riprap and rock vanes in Sucker Brook at four locations within the City of Canandaigua.  Approximately 500 linear feet of stream bank will be disturbed.  The project will reduce stream bank erosion and sediment transport to Canandaigua Lake while also providing protection to structures and driveways adjacent to the channel. The work in Sucker Brook will be situated within densely developed areas near Parrish Street, Bristol Street, Chapin Street and West Avenue.

As part of the Fishers Landing Plaza Expansion on Route 96 in the Town of Victor, the applicant proposes to expand, and reconstruct an existing storm water facility within the previously disturbed  wetland adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland FA-2. Additional work within the adjacent area includes parking and road construction, landscaping and utility installation. Although never completed, most of the proposed work was permitted under expired DEC Permit 8-3248-00034/00002.  The applicant also proposes to remove fill and debris,  from past unauthorized filling activities, for appropriate disposal.  The total area of wetland adjacent area impact will be 2.18 acres.

The applicant proposes to modify an existing mining operation at his property north of NYS Rt. 31, at the Lake Corners-Rose Valley Road. The modification would allow for the extraction of approximately 98,000 c.y. of sand and gravel from a 4.1 ac. area previously disturbed by topsoil removal.  Mining operations on the remainder of the 239 ac. Life-of-Mine area will remain unchanged.  Excavation will be by mechanical equipment, standard for sand and gravel mining operations.  No washing or other use of ground or surface waters are proposed for this operation. Final reclamation will restore the 4.1 ac. modification area to a ponded wildlife area.

The applicant proposes to continue mining operations, with modifications, at the existing Owen A. Smith sand and gravel mine on the Smith property in the Town of Sodus  The modification would include the construction of a new mine access/haul road, a new 200 L.F. earthen berm, and authorize the placement and use of screening and dry processing equipment for the production of salable aggregate products.    Excavation will be by mechanical equipment, standard for sand and gravel mining operations.  Processing of excavated material will be by dry screen.  No washing or other use of ground or surface waters are proposed for this operation.  Final reclamation will restore the site to graded, stabilized open land.
