ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 09/06/2006

       The applicant proposes to repair and modify the existing earthen and concrete dam known as the Camp Siwanoy Lake Dam.  The existing dam is approximately 260 feet long and 26 feet high. The applicant proposes to repair and reinforce the dam by, among other things, adding  approximately 3 feet to the thickness of the dam and placing heavy stone rip-rap along the downstream outlet to prevent erosion and undermining.

       The dam is located within Camp Siwanoy at 996 Quaker Hill Road near the Connecticut border, in the Town of Dover, Dutchess County, NY

Applicant proposes to construct a two bedroom house with rear yard lawn encroachment into the 100 foot adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland HP-7 (Class 2).  The well and sanitary septic for the residence will be constructed outside of the adjacent area.  The property is located on the west side of NYS Route 9G, approximately 1000 feet north of North Cross Road.

The applicant proposes to construct a 500 foot long section of a common driveway through the 100 foot adjacent area (AA) of wetland RC-4 (class 2) to provide access to Lots 7, 8 and 9 of the proposed Pasture Rock Subdivision - Phase 2.  Construction of this road will also require the disturbance of a 150 foot long ( 2,264 sq.ft. ) portion of wetland RC-4.  Two stormwater treatment basins are also proposed to be constructed in the AA to treat runoff from this common driveway.  A mitigation project to create approximately 4,500 sq.ft. of new wetland has been proposed.

In addition, development of Lots 4, 5 and 6 will require some disturbance to the AA in order to construct sanitary disposal systems.  The locations of these systems have been approved by the County Health Department.  

The areas of wetland RC-4 on the property were recently added, after Phase 1 of the subdivision had been approved.  Phase 2 is a subsequent subdivision of the previously approved Lot 5.

The project is located on the north side of Woody Row Road, near its intersection with Broadview Lane.

No disturbance within the Freshwater Wetland is proposed; the total area of disturbance to the adjacent area of the wetland is approximately 0.37 acre. The project is located northwest of the intersection of Horsepound Road and NYS Route 52 in the Town of Kent, Putnam County. A stormwater management plan has been prepared and is available for review.
