Project Description: The applicant has applied to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC or Department) for a freshwater wetlands permit to construct a single family dwelling, garage, decks and sanitary system at Elm Road and Orchid Drive, Mastic Beach in the Town of Brookhaven, County of Suffolk. The entire 10,000 foot project is located within freshwater wetland M-20 -- a Class I freshwater wetland.
NYS Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and implementing regulations: The permit application is being processed pursuant to ECL Article 3, Title 3 (General Functions), ECL Article 24 (Freshwater Wetlands) and Part 663 (Freshwater Wetlands-Land Use Regulations) of Title 6 of the New York Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations (6 NYCRR), Part 621 (Uniform Procedures), and 6 NYCRR Part 624 (Permit Hearing Procedures).
State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) Status: The DEC Staff has determined that the proposal is a Type II action and therefore not subject to review under SEQRA.
Staff Position: DEC staff opposes the issuance of this permit based upon its determination that as currently proposed the project will not meet regulatory standards because it will cause adverse impacts to the natural resources at the project site.
