ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 09/13/2006

Applicant proposes to fill a sunken barge with rock to act as breakwater for existing marina.  The barge is 125'L x 30'W, approximately 125' from shore.  Approximately 8,200 cubic feet of rock will be placed inside the barge.  Under previous DEC permit issued in 1992 another barge at this site was filled with rock for this same purpose.  The project is located just north of the boat ramp in Port Henry, in Lake Champlain.

The applicant proposes to add 63 rental docks at its Fish Creek location. The docks will be arranged in 3 fingers that will extend a maximum of 180 ft. from shore.

Increase the vertical height of the Phase I cell area of the Paper Sludge Management Facility by 31 feet, thereby increasing the capacity of the landfill cell by approximately 370,000 cubic yards  and increasing the useful life of the cell by approximately 45 months.  The Phase I cell is part of a 2 cell solid waste management facility  permitted by NYS DEC in 1997.  The applicant/permittee proposes to offset increased capacity in Cell 1 by reducing the Phase II cell volume by approximately 370,000 cubic yards.  The permittee expects the additional capacity in  Cell I  will enable the companies to identify alternate paper sludge management options that will preclude the need to build the Phase II cell.
