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 on U.S. Route 9 bridges over New York State Route 129. DATE: September 30, 2024 On Thursday, September 26, 2024, 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 WAC reviewed the Coastal Assessment Form and had no changes. The committee reviewed the 44 LWRP policies and determined that the following policies are relevant: POLICY 18: To safeguard the vital economic, social, and environmental interests of the State and of its citizens, proposed major actions in the coastal area must give full consideration to those interests, and to the safeguards which the State has established to protect. 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. POLICY 39: The transport, storage, treatment and disposal of solid wastes, particularly hazardous wastes, within coastal areas will be conducted in such a manner so as to protect groundwater and surface water supplies, significant fish and wildlife habitats, recreation areas, important agricultural lands and scenic resources. The specifications for the work show that the work will be performed in a manner that is protective of the environment. The cleaning and sealing work will extend the life of the infrastructure. It is for the reasons contained in this memorandum that the WAC issues its recommendation of consistency.
