ENB Region 7 Completed Applications 05/31/2006

Applicant proposes to construct a new outfall from the sewage treatment plant to the Chenango River.  Project will require approximately 472 linear feet of new 16" ductile iron pipe outfall line (which discharges to the original location of the Chenango River) to a new headwall at the current location of the Chenango River.  Project is located in the town of Chenango, Broome County.

Applicant proposes to excavate 3 gravel bars (100', 40' and 60') and use gravel to build up west bank of Wylie Brook where high water caused stream to break through.  New banks will be planted with willows for stabilization.  Project is located on the Ho-Jo-An Farms, south of Joslyn Road, west of NYS Route 235.

The applicant proposes to construct the new Harbour Heights housing development which would impact 0.32 acres of state wetland BAL-15 and 1.83 acres of its 100 foot adjacent area.  The majority of the impact is justified as a roadway access through the wetland.  Also, the applicant proposes to relocate an intermittant stream to the Senaca River which involves placement of fill over 218 square feet below the mean high water level and rock rirprap at the new outfall.  Project plans are available for review in the Syracuse Office.

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC submitted a 401 Water Quality Certification Application to the Department in June 2005 in association with the federal relicensing of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a twenty year period.  The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the 401 Water Quality Certificate for the proposed additional twenty year term.  The Department will reevaluate the facility on a five year basis during the renewal of the SPDES permit.  The application material and a draft 401 Water Quality Certification is available for review and comment.
