Negative Declaration
Clinton County - The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Patnode Road Mine will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves a proposal by the applicant for a new 5 acre life of mine on 53 acre parcel owned by the applicant. The estimated life of mine is 5 years. The excavation is occurring in a rock outcrop, with maximum depth of the excavation would be 35 foot, with 1V:1H slopes. All mining will remain a minimum of 5 foot above groundwater table. The mine would include blasting, crushing and screening. The portable crusher will be less than 125 tons per hour and no generator will be utilized. The proposed hours of operation are Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with no operations on Sunday or Legal Holidays. Blasting would occur between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday only. All blasting would be performed by a licensed contractor. The equipment to be used is a front-end loader, a dump truck, a rock drill, and one screening/ crushing plant. The mining operation will generate a maximum of 6 trips per hour, with an average of 1.3 trips per hour. The stormwater will be internally draining in the excavated areas. Upon completion of mining, the mine floor would be reclaimed to grassland, eventually it will revert back to a forested area. The project is located on Patnode Road, .25 miles east of Fournier Road in the Town of Chazy, New York.
