DEC Division of Air Resources operates an ambient air monitoring network for various air contaminants within New York State. As required by federal regulations, NYS DEC prepares an annual monitoring network plan, which describes in detail the specifics of the monitoring network. This plan includes an annual review of the existing monitoring network to determine the adequacy of the network and to propose any network modifications. The proposed annual monitoring network plan must be available for public review for a 30 day period prior to submittal to Unite State Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). This notice is intended to afford interested parties the opportunity to comment on the proposed plan.

Written comments on this plan should be forwarded to DEC by May 31st, 2019 and addressed to the contact listed above.

The proposed action involves the expansion of the Akron Quarry, including mining of new areas of land (which is approximately 90.3 acres of excavation) and overburden storage areas (approximately 20.9 acres) adjacent to the existing approved mining area. The total acreage included in this application but not previously approved is 111.2 acres. The new excavation areas will be along Crittenden and Schurr Roads (15.4 acres) in the Town of Newstead and along the east side of the quarry (74.9 acres) in the Town of Pembroke. In addition, the overburden will be stockpiled on either side of Scribner Road (20.9 acres) in the Town of Pembroke. The modification request also includes the realignment of Cohocton and Scribner Roads in the Town of Pembroke to allow the quarry expansion. The proposed reclamation plan is the creation of lakes with perimeter green space and is similar to the existing reclamation plan. The proposed quarry expansion would extend the life of mine for an estimated 25 years.

All written filed comments and electronically submitted comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 31, 2019 to the contact listed above.
