Located: 905 Aquaview Avenue, East Marion. SCTM# 1000-21-2-11 The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The proposed action is recommended as INCONSISTENT with Policy 6 Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold's ecosystem of the LWRP. A bank swallow colony was reported nesting (burrows) in the bluff. Bank swallows are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The action includes manipulating the bluff face and slope and disturbing the soil. It does not meet the policy below in that a physical loss to the bank swallow habitat would occur. A. Avoid adverse changes to the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay ecosystems that would result from impairment of ecological quality as indicated by.- 1. Physical loss of ecological components Physical loss is often the most obvious natural resource impairment to identify. It usually results from discrete actions, such as filling or excavating a wetland or clearing an upland forest community prior to development. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
