ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 08/23/2006

Applicant proposes a 50 lot subdivision of 111 acres located on the north side of Noxon Road

( County Route 21 ) to be known as Harvest Ridge.  The property is bordered by the Taconic State Parkway to the east and the Crystal Lakes subdivision to the west.  In order to develop the property, the outlet stream from an existing pond (part of wetland PV-40)) will be relocated on the property and routed to a new crossing location of Noxon Road to the east of its existing location .  This new crossing location will require construction of a new stream/wetland corridor to the south of Noxon Road until it rejoins the current stream (wetland PV-53) corridor to the west. The subdivision will be served by a central water supply system and sanitary wastewater disposal will be provided by individual septic systems for each lot.  The applicant has prepared a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Applicant proposes to construct a single family residence within the 100 foot adjacent area (AA) of wetland RC-70 (class 3) on lot 23 of the Hidden Birch Acres - Section II subdivision located on the south side of Lamoree Road.  A well to serve the residence will also be drilled within the AA.  The sanitary septic system field for the residence will be constructed outside of the 100 foot AA.  

The applicant proposes to construct a portion of a residential subdivision entrance road within the 100-foot adjacent area of State-designated Freshwater Wetland DP-22 (Class I) and across a tributary of the Swamp River (DEC Water Index No. CT-15-4-13; Class C(T)).  The 33-lot subdivision, to be known as Deerfield Estates, will be located on a 115 acre parcel located north side of River Road, just north of the intersection with West Dover Road.  In addition to the roadway, a portion of the stormwater management system will be constructed within the wetland 100-foot adjacent area, for a total disturbance of about 0.34 acre.  A stormwater pollution prevention plan has been prepared in accordance with the SPDES General Permit for Construction Activities.  

The applicant proposes to install a new concrete retaining wall 20 feet high by 100 feet long along the Peters Kill (H-139-14-16; Class B(t)).  The project site is located on the southside of Towpath Road approximately 1/2 mile east of Saint Josens Road.  The work will be accomplished from the roadway and the material used will be pre-cast concrete blocks.  

The applicant proposes to modify a portion of Freshwater Wetland L-12 (Class II) and its 100 foot adjacent area in order to construct various improvements to an existing single family residence on the southeastern shore of Lake Rippowam. Activities proposed within the Freshwater Wetland are construction of subsurface drainage improvements and planting of wetland vegetation as mitigation; activities proposed within the adjacent area include removal of an existing shed, construction of an addition to the home, new stone walkway and retaining wall, drainage improvements, new septic tank with pump chamber and overflow tank, and planting of wetland vegetation as mitigation. The total area of disturbance to the Freshwater Wetland is approximately  0.06-acre, including wetland mitigation plantings; the total area of disturbance to the adjacent area is 0.14-acre, including wetland mitigation plantings.  The project is located on the north side of Twin Lakes Road, one mile east of Oscaleta Road in the Town of Lewisboro, Westchester County.
