The NYS DEC issued Wetland Permit# 1-4738-04540/00001.
Reasons Supporting This Determination: A Short Environmental Assessment Form has been
submitted and reviewed and it was determined that no significant adverse effects to the environment
were likely to occur should the project be implemented as planned.
The determination was based upon the following:
This proposed action will not have adverse impacts on the land area, waters or adjacent properties. Thus
the following can be said of this action:
1. The proposed application will have no bearing upon Article VI of the Suffolk County Sanitary
Code and is not expected to adversely affect groundwater quality. The removal of
degrading/decaying buildings will remove potential pollutants from the land area.
2. No substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity,
traffic or noise levels, no substantial increase in solid waste production, potential of erosion,
flooding, leaching or drainage problems will occur as a result of this action. Storm water will be
controlled on site pursuant to Chapter 236 Stormwater Management of the Southold Town Code
and potentially a NYSDEC SPEDS Permit depending upon total area of disturbance. The
Southold Town Trustees conditioned that no CCA treated lumber is to be used in the
construction to further protect water quality.
3. The area is currently impacted with dilapidated buildings and debris and will be restored with
vegetation. No significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna, no
substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species is
expected.
4. The action is located within the NYSDEC Critical Environmental Area - Pipes Cove Creek and
Peconic Bay and Environs. No significant adverse impacts on these habitat areas will occur as a
result of this action.
5. NYSDEC data indicates that the protected species Least Tern may occur on site. This species is not
expected to be significantly affected through the action. No substantial adverse impacts on
threatened or endangered animal or plant species or the habitat is expected to occur.
6. The proposed action is not in material conflict with a community's current plans or goals as
officially approved or adopted.
7. The parcel is SPLIA listed due to the past structures on site; however, it is noted in the NYS
CRIS system as not eligible for listing. The buildings are dilapidated and beyond repair. The
removal of the buildings and debris will restore the area to open space. The proposed action
will not significantly impair the character or quality of important historical, archaeological,
architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character.
8. No major adverse change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur.

9. No creation of a hazard to human health will occur as a result of this action. Debris from
demolition will be carted off-site by an approved subcontractor and disposed of at a NYSDEC
permitted waste management facility.
10. The proposed action will not cause a substantial adverse change in the use, or intensity of use,
of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to support
existing uses.
Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to occur should the
project be implemented as planned.
