TO: Mayor Brian Pugh and the Village Board of Trustees FROM: Chairman Simon, Waterfront Advisory Committee RE: Referral from Village Board for a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Consistency review for NY State Department of Transportation – federal funding for cleaning/washing bridges and sealing decks as needed to remove debris and protect against corrosive substance DATE: September 18th, 2025 On September 16, 2025, the Waterfront Advisory Committee (WAC) reviewed for consistency with the Village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) the referral listed above. Based on the Committee’s review of the 44 LWRP policies, the Waterfront Advisory Committee made a recommendation of consistency with the LWRP. The committee reviewed the 44 LWRP policies and determined that the following policies are relevant: POLICY 7A: The quality of the Croton River and Bay Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat and Haverstraw Bay Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat shall be protected and improved for conservation, economic, aesthetic, recreational, and other public uses and values. Its resources shall be protected from the threat of pollution, misuse, and mismanagement. POLICY 7B: Materials that can degrade water quality and degrade or destroy the ecological system of the Croton River and Bay Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat and the Haverstraw Bay Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat shall not be disposed of or allowed to drain in, or on land within, the area of influence in the significant fish and wildlife habitats. POLICY 7G: Construction activity of any kind must not cause significant degradation of water quality or impact identified significant fish and wildlife habitats. POLICY 8: Protect fish and wildlife resources in the coastal area from the introduction of hazardous wastes and other pollutants which bio-accumulate in the food chain, or which cause significant sub-lethal or lethal effect on those resources. POLICY 30: Municipal, industrial, and commercial discharge of pollutants, including but not limited to, toxic and hazardous substances, into coastal waters will conform to State and National water quality standards POLICY 33: Best Management Practices will be used to ensure the control of stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows draining into coastal waters Tel: 914-271-4783 www.crotononhudson-ny.gov Fax: 914-271-3790 POLICY 33A: The flow of stormwater discharge shall be controlled to limit the flow of pollutants from street and parking areas, etc. directly into the rivers and water bodies This is a Department of Transportation maintence project that includes cleaning/washing bridges and sealing decks as needed to remove debris and protect againt corrosive substances. The WAC does not believe there will be any potentially significant adverse impacts on coastal resources from these projects, and noted that the Welcher Avenue project is not, in fact, in Croton. It is for the reasons contained in this memorandum that the WAC issues its recommendation of consistency.
