ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 04/19/2006

The Town of Clifton Park is proposing to construct a skateboard park.  Work will include grading, paving, fencing, lighting, drainage facilities and installation of the modular and in-place skateboard equipment.  Grading will provide a base for approximately 8900 square feet of asphalt paved riding surface.  The construction contract includes an add alternate for replacing the asphalt surface with a concrete paved surface.  The paved surface will be sloped to facilitate sheet flow toward the west.  In addition, a drywell constructed within a depressed area near the northeastern corner of the property will collect and dispose of storm water that drains toward the site from the north.  All work proposed is in the 100 foot buffer area of New York State regulated Freshwater Wetland N-5.

The project is located in the parking lot at the Clifton Park Center Mall, near Boscov's parking lot, in the town of Clifton Park, Saratoga County.

The applicant has proposed the development of a sand and gravel mine of 16 Life-of-Mine acres at the east portion of their +/- 220-acre contiguous parcel which is located on the west side of State Route 40, ~1.3 miles north of the County Route 54 intersection. The mine will operate as a traditional surface extraction of sand and gravel by means of mechanical excavation by wheel loader or equivalent. Material will be processed by a portable screening plant, or loaded onto awaiting trucks and hauled from the site. Application materials are available for public review and comment at the NYS DEC Regional Sub-Office in Warrensburg.
