RIDER -to- APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SAND AND GRAVEL PIT OR OTHER EXCAVATION PURPOSES 3. Suffolk Cement Precast, Inc. intends to purchase a sixteen (16) acre parcel, and utilize the area fronting on Cox's Lane as a small industrial plant site. They intend to utilize the area nearest to the highway to construct three (3) buildings to be located thereon. The existing woods behind the industrial plant site would be utilized as a natural boundary to the actual excavation site. A thirty (30') foot roadway would be constructed off of Cox's Lane into the interior of the premises. i i I I The excavation would commence in the Southeasterly corner of th, premises. Once this area in the southeast corner was substantially: mined, it would be leveled and Suffolk Cement Precast, Inc. intends to enter into a lease with Suffolk Cement Products, Inc., a cement manufacturing company, located at Calverton, New York, to operate a similar plant site there. The intention would be to thereafter mine the area proceeding in a Westerly direction, and eventually to mine the entire proposed excavation site as shown on the site plan presented herewith. ~ In order to screen this property from Oregon Road, and neighbor on the West a berm would be constructed along both boundaries. Alo g the boundaries fronting on Oregon Road and to a depth of approximately two hundred fifty (250') feet off of Oregon Road, Japanese Black p~nes or an approved equivalent would be planted. At such time as the entire area is mined, the area would be gr~ded on an approximate slope of one on four. The entire area as part oB the reclamation project would have to be covered with six (6") inches ~'f topsoil in. accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Town 0 Southold. It is intended that the area be mined to approximately ive (5') feet above groundwater level. The reclaimed area would be i developed for additional industrial park sites. It would be unrea istic to indicate that any part of the area would be rehabilitated prior to December 31, 1985. I ! In order to file a New York State application, it is necessary that the consent of the Town of Southold be approved. The applica$ts have met with representatives of the New York State Department of i Environmental Conservation who have acutally had an on site inspection. I The current regulations of the Town of Southold indicate that~the proposed site must have a minimum of twenty (20) acres. The entir parcel involved is only 15.7 acres. The entire area to be mined 0 er the length of the mining operation would be nine (9) acres, and, t ere- fore, we must have a waiver of that part of the Town's requirement,. The regulations further provide that any proposed operations a~e to be set back at least two hundred (200') feet from any road, streetl, avenue or highway, and set back one hundred fifty (150') feet from! any property line. The New York State regulations require only a twen~y- five (25') foot set back. In view of the fact that if we were to ~e required to adhere to these required setbacks, it would render the. usable area uneconomically feasible to mine. A waiver is sought jedUCin the setbacks from the road to one hundred (100') feet, and along he adjacent property owners to fifty (50') feet. The rear of this p operty adjoins the Town of Southold Landfill operation. There is a hill and existing woods to screen the easterly side. The construction of . berm and the planting of trees along Oregon Road and along the easterl~ boundary would serve to screen the operation from the public's vi w. In addition, we are requesting that we be permitted to use th fronting on Cox's Lane for the future development of an industria ~ite, and that since the area would not be used for storage of ma mined, or equipment from this use, that we be permitted to develo area. t arec park erialec said CONSENT Town of Southold Main Road Southold, New York 11971 Attn: Francis J.

SUFFOLK CEMENT PRECAST, INC. Soil Removal Plan and Application Environmental Assessment - Part III Impact On Land 1. Will there be an effect as a result of a physical change to project site? The detailed statement submitted with this application describes the existing site conditions and method of operation. In order to economically mine the sand and gravel, the excavation will create slopes of 1:1. As the property existing is relatively flat agricultural land, this physical change is substantial. The impact on the land will be mitigated by the implementation of the proposed restoration plan. . The restoration plan indicates that the property will be regraded after the mining operation is completed to create a fresh water pond surrounded by land which has been attractively graded,topsoiled and seeded. Impact On Visual Resource 10. Will the project affect views, vistas or the visual character of the neighborhood or community? The potentially large impact on the visual resource, that is, the change from relatively flat agricultural land to an open pit mine, will be mitigated by leaving the majority of the existing woodlands at the north- easterly side of the proposed mine, by creating an earth berm on the northwesterly and southwesterly sides and by establishing screen plantings, as shown on the excavation plan. These factors will visually screen the entire excavation on three (3) sides. The south- easterly side is adjacent to Cutchogue Landfill.
