Project Description: The project involves the repair and rehabilitation of Sperry Pond Dam, involving wetlands, to conform to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) dam safety requirements.
Negative Declaration
Clinton County - The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Imperial Mills (aka Main Mill) Dam Rehabilitation and Installation of New Salmon Ladder will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. NYS DEC, as joint owner of the Imperial Mills Dam in the City of Plattsburgh, will construct a fish ladder to restore approximately 9 miles of riparian habitat for Atlantic salmon in the Saranac River and upgrade the dam to meet 6 NYCRR Part 673 standards. A concrete vertical-slot fish ladder with a lamprey barrier will be built on the river-left side of the spillway. New smelt tanks will be installed near the ladder for salmon rearing and stocking. Wooden sluice gates will be replaced with a new outlet valve in the ladder. Dam safety upgrades include new rock anchors through the spillway to improve stability, and reconfiguring the spillway crest to improve hydraulic efficiency and allow passage of the spillway design flood (the spillway elevation will remain the same). The dam's earthen embankment on NYS DEC's property will be lowered approximately one foot to allow storm flows greater than the design flood to pass back to the river instead of flowing across the right abutment (Imperial Industrial park property). The project will also include a canoe/kayak portage around the dam, a gravel access road connecting to Adirondack Lane, and a small gravel parking area all on NYS DEC property. The project is located on the Saranac River at the end of Adirondack Lane in the City of Plattsburgh, New York.
