Policy 7F: Construction activity of any kind must not cause a measurable increase in erosion or flooding at the site of such activity, or impact other locations. Construction activity shall be timed so that spawning of anadromous fish species and shellfish will not be adversely affected. Policy 11A: Erosion and sediment control measures shall be undertaken in order to safeguard persons, protect property, prevent damage to the environment, and promote the public welfare by guiding, regulating and controlling the design, construction, use and maintenance of any development or other activity which disturbs or breaks the topsoil or results in earth movement. Policy 37A: Standards and specifications for the control of non-point source discharge as set forth in Westchester County’s Best Management Practice Manual or other recognized reference shall be utilized during development of any site. Policy 13: The construction or reconstruction of erosion protection structures shall be undertaken only if they have a reasonable probability of controlling erosion for at least thirty years as demonstrated in design and construction standards and/or assured maintenance or replacement programs. The remaining policies and conditions of the LWRP not specifically discussed above were reviewed and found to not be applicable; AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, as follows: Based upon the above, the Village Board of Trustees confirms its determination that the Proposed Action, a project to replace a one hundred foot retaining wall at 25 and 33 Grand Street in the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, complies with the policy standards and conditions set forth in the Village’s LWRP.
