PROJECT APPLICATION NUMBER: DEC 3-5599-00041/00001
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION: The Applicant has proposed the development of an 18-hole championship golf course with associated amenities, including a clubhouse facility, on the 213-acre former Eugene Meyer estate located in the Towns of Bedford, New Castle and North Castle in Westchester County. The property is generally bordered on the south by the Meyer Nature Preserve, on the east by Byram Lake, on the west by Sarles Street and on the north by Oregon Road. Associated with the golf course development is the construction and operation of a Linear Adsorption System (LAS) designed as a structural Best Management Practice for treatment of stormwater from the managed turf areas of the course. The LAS consists of grassed, lined infiltration swales and activated carbon chambers that will result in the discharge of treated stormwater run-off at six outfall locations: 001, 002 to tributaries of Byram Lake; 003 to Byram Lake; 004 and 005 to tributaries of the Kisco River and 006 to a tributary of the Wampus River. As part of the planned clubhouse facility, the Applicant proposes a septic tank with cast galleys system with a discharge of sanitary wastewater capacity of 9316 gallons per day. The project will also result in the modification of approximately 0.97 acres of freshwater wetlands and the Applicant proposes to create 1.76 acres of freshwater wetlands at the site.
PERMITS: The Applicant has applied for a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit for the discharges from the aforementioned LAS, pursuant to Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 17, Titles 7 and 8 and Parts 750 through 758 of Title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (6 NYCRR Parts 750 through 758). The Department issued a Notice of Complete Application on October 30, 2001. A draft permit containing proposed effluent limitations and monitoring requirements has been prepared by the Department for these discharges and is available for review. In addition, pursuant to the aforementioned regulations, the Applicant requires a SPDES permit for the sanitary wastewater discharges from the clubhouse facility to groundwater. Moreover, the Applicant requires a Water Quality Certification from the Department pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and 6 NYCRR Part 608.
SEQRA STATUS: Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617 of the implementing regulations for Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 8, (State Environmental Quality Review Act - SEQRA), a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for this project has been prepared and is on file.
