ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 08/16/2006

The Department has made a tentative determination to re-issue a permit to discharge up to 1,800 gpd of treated domestic sanitary wastewater.  The existing system consists of a septic tank, buried sand filter of 1,800 square feet, and chlorinator, which would outlet to an existing on-site pond with an unnamed, intermittent outet that is a tributary to a Class C(t) stream (DEC Water Index No. D-53-1-5).  No modifications to the system are proposed.  The permittee will be required to continue to maintain records and report data to verify compliance with the permit conditions and discharge limits.  A draft permit is available for review at the NYSDEC Region 3 office.

The applicant proposes to remove accumulated wood and stone debris, and excvate a high flow channel with Sprague Brook (DEC Water Index No. D-70-20-25-11; Class B(T)). The project site is located on the south side of DeBruce Road, about 500 west of the intersection with Grooville Road.  Debris will be removed from an area about 10 feet wide by 25 feet long.  A high flow channel about 10 feet wide by 2 feet deep by 200 feet long will be excavated within an existing overflow channel.

The applicant proposes to subdivide an existing parcel of about 102 acres into three lots within the Shawangunk Kill Recreational River Corridor.  The project site is located between Burnt Meadow Road and McKinstry Road.  The new lots will be 11.4, 15.7, and 74.9 acres.  The construction of two new homes are proposed on the smaller two lots.  A variance from the Recreational River regulations has been requested to allow construction of one home within 120 feet of the river.

The applicant proposes to dredge approximately 2350 cubic yards of sediment from a 5+acre pond [Class A(t)] within Beaverdam Creek to remove nuisance plant growth and improve recreational uses of the pond.  Dredged material is proposed to be disposed of as fill on upland areas immediately adjacent to the pond. A portion of the dredge spoils will be used to regrade a small portion of the eastern embankment of the pond, Davis Lake. The project is located on the west side of Upper Sahler Mill Road, north of the intersection with Barringer Road in the Town of Olive, Ulster County.
