Dear Mr. Orlowski:
In reply to your inquiry on the status of the Laurel Lake
area, I am happy to report that approximately three weeks ago we
issued purchase orders to two appraisers and the appraiser's
efforts are now under way. Unfortunately, we wer~ delayed due to
the problem of locating appraisers who didn't imv£ ~ ~ested
interest in the vicinity. I have directed our personnel who work
with the appraisers to determine their progress and I should have
an estimated time of completion later this week.
I am also happy to report that our activities to determine
water quality and quantity at the Mill Lane site is moving
forward. Our driller started boring activities on October 30,
and within two weeks we should have a drilling log that would
indicate formation characteristics. At that time, we will select
various well depths for test pumping to determine quality and
quantity.
Representatives from our Watershed Oversight Protection area
and I are meeting some of your technical people on Wednesday,
November 8, 1989. At that time, I will provide an update on
Laurel Lake area.
If I can be
of any other assistance, p/le~se call.

Please be aware that the Suffolk County Park Trustees voted on

area designated as Laurel Lake. One of the parcels in that area
is that of the A. T. Holding Co. We have ordered an appraisal on
this parcel and, as soon as we are in receipt of a reviewed
appraisal, we will be contacting the owners to discuss the
possible sale of this property.

Dear Mr. Geraghty,
The Planning Board has reviewed your letter, in which you
request a meeting with a client to discuss the mining of the
A.T. Holding Co. property, east of Laurel Lake, Mattituck.
The Planning Board feels that mining and filling of land
within the Town's groundwater recharge area would be an
inappropriate land use. Consequently, it is not interested in
~further discussions with your client.

Dear Mr. Orlowski:
I am contacting you regarding a 94 acre parcel located South
of Rt. 48 in Matt/tuck. Recently my wife, Donna Geraghty, ~as
inquired about filling in the sand pit with construction debris
and you responded that the town was not interested in that
project.
I have a different client that would like to meet with the
planning board to discuss a project to further mine the existing
sand pits and fill it with clean fill approved by the D.E.C. My
clients are very interested in working with the town in any way
possible which could also include donating land back to the town.
Before you make any decisions, we would like you to see samples
of the materials and hear our entire proposal. This material is
not construction debris and would not be hazardous to the ground
water.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

There has been no response to the Planning Board's

Accordingly, the A.T. Holding Co. application file is

at that time.

SEQRA STATUS:
Each of the individual actions around:the Lake is, in

a Type I action.
**CONTINUED**
REASONS SUPPORTING THIS DETERMINATION-
There are three major and two minor subdivision proposals which
together encompass approximately 219 acres and 85 lots in the
vicinity of Laurel Lake; and
There should be consideration of the potential cumulative effect
of the proposed development on the ecology of the area with
regard to the overall impacts on groundwater quality, surface
water quality, wildlife habitat, and public lands; and
The Laurel Lake area has been under study as a special
groundwater protection area by the Long Island Regional
Planning Board's Special Groundwater Protection Area Advisory
Council; and
The stretch of Sound Avenue between Bergen Avenue to the west
and Cox Neck Road to the east is the sole point of ingress and
egress, and none of these subdivisions has additional access to
other public roads. This stretch of road is a heavily travelled
east-west corridor and also a curving road on hilly terrain.
Its capacity to handle safely the additional volume of traffic
from the projected development should be examined.

Dear Ms. Scopaz:
The Suffolk County Department of Health Service (SCDHS) has reviewed the
above-referenced proposals. We have no objection to Town's designation as lead
agency.
Based on our preliminary review, we strongly believe that the potential for project-
specific and cumulative negative environmental impacts is significant.
Specifically, we believe that independently, the proposed actions pose potential
significant impacts on groundwater, surface water, freshwater wetlands, wildlife habitat,
and public lands resources within a similar geographical area.
In addition, the close proximity of these proposals and their collective location
within a designated Special Groundwater Protection Area (SGPA), supports a
Letter to Valerie Scopaz
February 6, 1989
Page 2
comprehensive assessment of short- and long-term cumulative impacts on the Laurel
Lake area.
As a result, we recommend that the above-mentioned proposals (and others which
may be proposed in their vicinity) be reviewed collectively through a Generic
Environmental Impact Statement (GELS).
We believe the need for a Laurel Lake GElS is well supported by the implementing
rules and regulations for the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) which
state in pertinent part that:
"A Generic ElS may be used to assess the environmental effects of:
(1) a number of separate actions in a given geographic area which, if considered
singly may have only minor effects, but if considered together may have
significant effects; or ....
(3) separate actions having generic or common impacts..." [NYCRR: Part 617.15
(a)]
The GElS can provide government agencies and the general public with an
accurate impact assessment of the overall development of this area, and identify
mitigation measures necessary to minimize potential impacts to the entire affected area
(not simply individual site specific measures).
Also, we are confident that a GElS for the entire 211-acre (approximate)
development area will reduce duplication of efforts by the applicants and involved
agencies, which may well occur in the event of independent, segmented reviews of
each application.
Finally, we believe the most valuable function of a GElS for the Laurel Lake area
would be its identification and discussion of design alternatives. Responsibly
undertaken, this part of the document would provide a detailed assessment of
alternatives and project designs and comprehensive planning strategies [i.e., transfer of
Letter to Valerie Scopaz
February 6, 1989
Page 3
development rights (TDR), clustering, partial/total acquisition, etc.] intended to minimize
potential negative impacts on the overall study area.
We appreciate the opportunity to review these proposals and have enclosed a
separate scoping outline which identifies content areas we would like to see addressed
in a Laurel Lake GELS. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact the Office of Ecology at 548-3060.

RECOMMENDED SCOPING OUTLINE
FOR
A
LAUREL LAKE GElS
I. Descdotion of the PrODosed A(;ti0ns:
A. Location
The document should contain detailed design drawings and include Suffolk
County Tax Map numbers for the overall project sites.
B. Sanitary Code Compliance
The SCDHS maintains jurisdiction over the final location of water supply and
sanitary sewage disposal systems. We recommend, therefore, that the
document provide a detailed discussion of the regulations and compliance
requirements of our agency as they apply to the proposed development and the
potential alternatives to the proposed actions.
In addition, the document should outline the Article VI application status of the
proposed projects, and explain proposed methods of compliance with the
appropriate requirements of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code (SCSC). General
statements regarding the applicants' intentions to comply with all appropriate
SCDHS standards should not be considered sufficient detail for this portion of
the document.
If the applicants have not yet submitted applications for realty subdivision
approval to our agency, applications should be submitted at the earliest possible
date so our staff may provide technical comments.
C. Water Supply
The document should discuss in detail sufficient for technical assessment, the
water supply requirements for the proposed actions and should demonstrate
water supply availability.
D. Wetlands Delineation
Wetlands and water bodies must be represented accurately on property surveys
and site plans submitted tO our agency for review. Proposals with inaccurate
information regarding wetlands and surface waters cannot be evaluated for yield,
equivalent density, or proper locations of sewage disposal systems or water
supply facilities.
II. Environmental Setting
A. Groundwater Quality
We are concerned about potential groundwater quality impacts associated with
the overall development of the study area, especially with respect to potential
impacts on wetlands and surface waters. We recommend that the GElS
evaluate potential groundwater impacts in the study area with specific attention
to the potential impacts on Laurel Lake and its associated freshwater wetlands.
The entire GElS study area is located within one of the Special Groundwater
Protection Areas (SGPA) designated by the Long Island Regional Planning
Board (LIRPB).
The LIRPB has made substantive general recommendations regarding zoning
and land use, aimed at protecting these area's groundwater resources.
We encourage the Town to require discussion of the LIRPB's recommendations
for these designated areas relative to the proposed actions and alternatives
being evaluated in the GELS.
B. Wildlife Habitat Identification and Protection
1. The document should provide a detailed assessment of the study area's
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, This section of the study should provide a
detailed cover map of the study area and include the results of an on-site
species inventory. (The document should not contain merely a predetermined
list of probable species found in habitats similar to the subject study area.)
In addition, the dates of all field studies and qualifications of the individual(s)
conducting the investigations should be included in the document for review.
The document should identify potential short- and long-term impacts to wildlife
species and habitat as a result of the proposed actions. Information pertaining
to rare and endangered species, habitat fragmentation, area-sensitive species,
and loss of indigenous natural communities is important to this discussion.
The document should evaluate (in detail sufficient for comparative assessment)
project design alternatives which maximize protection of contiguous natural
areas and provide for the highest diversity of natural habitat types. We are
especially concerned about the full protection of any areas providing habitat for
rare and endangered species.
Sources of information pertaining to rare, threatened and endangered species
should be stated in the GELS.
We recommend the discussion be supplemented with information obtained from
the regional office of NYSDEC and the New York State Natural Heritage Program.
The Natural Heritage Program offers a Significant Habitat Information Service (518-
439-7486), and can be contacted at the following address:
New York State Natural Heritage Program
Wildlife Resources Center
Delmar, New York 12054
C. New York State Regulations and Rec!uirement,~
1. Development of parcels within the study area will be subject to regulation and
review by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(NYSDEC), pursuant to Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Act of the New York
State Environmental Conservation Law.
The GElS should outline the regulatory requirements of the State pursuant to the
above legislation and discuss how the proposed projects affected by this
regulation will satisfy State permitting standards and policies.
2. The document should provide a detailed base map of the study area which
includes NYSDEC-approved wetland delineations, and regulatory limits.
D. Imoacts on Public Lands and Histodc Resource,~
1. The GElS study area should include discussion of public lands of the NYDSEC
and Camp Malloy. We are especially concerned about potential development
impacts to the NYSDEC preserve property, and fishing opportunities on Laurel
Lake.
Also, we are concerned about any potential impacts on historic resources as a
result of proposed development projects. We recommend, therefore, that the
GElS include historic resources data for this area and a historical and
archeological impact analysis for any of the proposed projects which may be
necessary.
E. Alternatives
The GElS should provide appropriate design altematives with site plans which
are suitable for comparative assessment.
We recommend that alternative designs seek to maximize protection of the study
area's natural habitats, freshwater wetlands, and water resources
comprehensively, and be presented in an objective manner. Alternatives which
unquestionably have greater impacts than the desired actions are inappropriate.
