Re: Comments on Scoping for Environmental Assessment for Improvements at
Elizabeth Field Airport, Fishers Island, NY
Dear C & S Engineers:
Thank you for offering the Department of Environmental Conservation the opportunity to
comment on the scoping for the Environmental Assessment of the proposed improvements at
Elizabeth Field Airport.
The proposed project will require Tidal and Freshwater Wetland permits from this agency. The
following comments apply to the Environmental Impact Categories (as provided in your letter of
April 22, 2013) of Wetlands, Water Quality, Fish, Wildlife, and Plants, and Coastal Resources:
The proposal to lengthen and widen Runway 30 and the associated seawall stabilization and
relocation must be assessed for potential adverse impacts to wetlands, water quality, fish,
wildlife, plants, and coastal resources in general.
• The relocation of the seawalls 100 feet seaward of their present location would result in
the filling of a substantial area of tidal wetlands classified as coastal shoals, bars and
mudflats, and littoral zone. A specific assessment of the biological productivity of these
areas should be conducted as some coastal shoals, bars and flats and some littoral
zones are areas of extremely high biological productivity and are nearly or equally as
important in this respect as intertidal marshes and coastal fresh marshes. Even in less
productive areas, however, values other than marine food production are often present,
and these areas often have the potential to become more biologically productive in the
future. Because of their location at the land-water interface, coastal shoals, bars and
flats and littoral zones play an important role in flood and hurricane and storm control,
cleansing of the ecosystem, and absorbing silt and organic materials. The potential
impact of the project on these values and functions of the tidal wetlands should be
assessed, and project alternatives such as relocating the runway to be expanded toward
the center of the airport and away from the coastline should be examined in the
environmental assessment. This assessment and evaluation of alternatives will also be
necessary when the applicant applies for a Tidal Wetlands permit from this Department.
Filling of tidal wetlands is classified as a "presumptively incompatible activity" by the
Tidal Wetland regulations (6NYCRR Part 661). Section 661.9 b (v) states, 1fa
proposed regulated activity is a presumptively incompatible use under such section,
there shall be a presumption that the proposed regulated activity may not be undertaken
in the subject area because it is not compatible with the area involved or with the
preservation, protection or enhancement of the present or potential values of tidal
wetlands if undertaken in that area. The applicant shall have the burden of overcoming
such presumption and demonstrating that the proposed activity will be compatible with
the area involved and with the preservation, protection and enhancement of the present
and potential values of tidal wetlands. " Thus, the applicant will need to clearly establish
the need for the project, and if there are compelling reasons why the project cannot be
redesigned to avoid the destruction of tidal wetlands and the disturbance and increased
coverage by impervious surfaces in the tidal wetland adjacent area, these reasons must
be clearly and fully set forth in the application for a tidal wetlands permit.
• The New York Natural Heritage Program database indicates that several endangered or
threatened species have been identified in the project area and vicinity. A "marine
rocky/intertidal" community classified as "critically imperiled" is identified in both areas of
proposed seawall stabilization and relocation. The piping plover, a NYS endangered/US
threatened species, was identified in an area south of Runways 7 & 30. Purple
Milkweed and Northern Gama Grass, NYS threatened vascular plants, were also
identified in the area immediately adjacent to the western ends of ends of runways 7 &
12. Surveys should be conducted to ascertain the presence and location of these
endangeredtthreatened species so that potential impacts can be assessed and
appropriate mitigation measures identified.
• The increased coverage by impervious surfaces in the tidal wetland and adjacent area is
likely to result in an increase in surface water runoff to tidal waters. This impact should
be assessed, and alternatives such as installing drainage/stormwater treatment systems
should be examined in the environmental assessment.
• The proposed project is located in the Fisher's Island Critical Environmental Area which
was designated to benefit human health and protect drinking water. The potential
impact of the project on the Critical Environmental Area should be evaluated in the
environmental assessment.
The following comments apply to the Environmental Impact Categories of Coastal Resources,
and Historic, Architectural, Archeological:
• The proposed project must be assessed for its consistency with applicable coastal
policies as set forth by the New York State Coastal Management Program.
• The project site is located in an area of known archeological sensitivity and in the vicinity
of the World War II era Fort H.G. Wright. The New York State Office of Parks,
Recreation, and Historic Preservation must be consulted in order to identify historic
and/or archeological resources. located in the project area, and to assess the potential
impacts of the proposed project on those resources.
Please forward any further correspondence regarding NEPA and SEQRA reviews of this project
to my attention at the above address.

PROJECT DESCRlPTION
RUNW A Y OVERLAY
ELIZABETH FIELD AIRPORT
FISHERS ISLAND, NEW YORK
The proposed runway overlay project consists of overlaying both runways at Elizabeth Field Airport with
asphalt in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifications. In an effort to
minimize disruption of ferry operations and runway closure at the airport, the contractor will have the
option of constructing a temporary a~phalt plant on airport property. Locating the plant on site will
provide the Town with more control over the installation of the asphalt. The temporary asphalt plant, if
constructed, will be located northeast of Runway 30, approximately halfway between the ends of
Runways 25 and 30 on an existing gravel road. The temporary plant will be completely dismantled upon
completion of the runway overlay project.
The contractor will choose which type of plant to build as there are basically three types of plants
currently in use: batch, mix and continuous mix plants. The major components of an asphalt plant include
the cold feed system, the asphalt supply system, the aggregate dryer, mixing tower, and emission control
tower. The plant tower consists of several elements: hot elevator, screen deck, hot bins, weigh hopper,
asphalt cement weigh bucket, and pugmill. Aggregate will be stockpiled at the plant.
The proposed riprap berm is approximately 220 feet long and will be constructed in accordance with the
enclosed detail. The proposed berm shall be sihlated between the west end of Runway 7 and the Atlantic
Ocean. The riprap berm will be constructed from existing boulders located on airport property. Beach
grass will be planted in accordance with NYSDEC specifications in the sandy area that is situated between
the west end of Runway 7 and the eastern edge of the riprap. The purpose of the riprap berm is to
alleviate the build up of sand on the Runway 7 end.

Appendix A
State Environmental Quality Review
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action
may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are
aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have
little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have
knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance.
The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination
process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action.
Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts:
Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it
assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3.
Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that mRY occur from a project or action. It provides guidance
as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The
form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.
Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact
is actually important.
DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFIC.t\NCE - Type 1 and Unlisted Actions
Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: [X] Part 1 [ ] Part 2 [ ] Part 3
Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and ~~ if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both
the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that:
[ ] A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have significant impact on the
environment, therefore a negative declaration will bE~ prepared.
[ ] B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action
because the mitigation measures described in Part 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be
prepared. *
[ ] C_ The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore
a positive declaration will be prepared.
* A conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions

Re: Elizabeth Field Airport
Environmental Information Request
File: 211.006.002
Dear 2 - :
On behalf of the Town of Southold, C&S Engineers, Inc., is providing assistance in the preparation of
an Environmental Assessment Form (loAF), as required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act
(SEQR) for the following improvements at Elizabeth Field Airport, Fishers Island, New York:
· Runway Overlay Project
· Riprap Sea Wall
Elizabeth Field Airport is situated within a Critical Environmental Area (CEA) designated by the Town
of Southold. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Section 617.4(h), SEQR, an unlisted action occurring within a CEA
must be treated as a Type I action; therefore, coordinated review and a full EAF are required. This letter
is a request for your office's assistance in identifying any possible areas of environmental concern at the
airport.
The proposed runway overlay project consists of overlaying both runways at Elizabeth Field Airport with
asphalt in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifications. In order to minimize
disruption of ferry operations and runway closure at the airport, the construction of an on-site temporary
asphalt plant has been proposed. Locating the plant on site will allow the town much more control over
the installation of the asphalt. The temporary plant will be located northeast of Runway 31, approximately
halfway between the east ends of Runway 25 and Runway 31 on an existing gravel road. The plant is
temporary and will be completely dismantled and removed from the island upon completion of the runway
overlay project. The selected contractor will choose which type of plant to construct as there are basically
three types of plants currently in use in the United States: batch plant, drum mix plants and continuous
mix plants. The major components of an asphalt plant include the cold-feed system; the asphalt cement
supply system; the aggregate dryer, mixing tower, and emission control system. The plant tower consists
of several elements: hot elevator, screen deck, hot bins, weigh hopper, asphalt cement weigh hucket and
pugmill. Aggregate will also be stockpiled at the plant.
.

March 18, 1993
Page 2
The proposed riprap sea wall consists of approximately 220 linear feet of large boulders (approximately)
2 tons each) placed on the existing slope between the west end of Runway 7 and the Atlantic Ocean. The
rip rap will be approximately 15 feet wide at its base, placed at a I: I slope, 6 feet in height, measured
from the existing grade. Beach grass will be planted in accordance with NYSDEC specifications in the
sandy area that is situated between the west end of Runway 7 and the eastern edge of the riprap. The
purpose of the riprap is to alleviate the sand washing onto the runway end during small storms.
A tidal wetlands permit application pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 and Article
25, 6 NYCRR 661, for the proposed rip rap sea wall will be filed with the appropriate agencies at the
completion of SEQR.
A location map and site plan are enclosed for your review. If you need further information, please
contact me.
Very truly yours,

***SIG~IFICA~T COASTAL FISE A~J WILDLIFE HABITAT**"
PROJECT D2SCRIP~IO~J
THS RAC:::
LOCAT ION AND DESCR! PTIOr, Of HABITAT:
The Race is an area of open water located between Race Point, at
the I-Iestern end of Fishers Island, and Valiant Rock, located
approximately one and one-half miles southwest of Fishers Island,
in the Town of Southold, Suffolk County (NOAA Nautical Chart No.
13205). The fish and \'.ilolife habitat is a very deep channel
(over 150 fee:: in depth), ap?roximtely one mile ,:ide, and
bordered by steep under~ater slopes rising up to relatively
shallow'water (less than 30 feet deep) on each side. This
approximate 2500 acre area is the primary opening in the
underwater ridge separating Long Island Sound and Block Island
Sound, and is an area of very turbulent tidal exchange.
FISH AND WILDLIFE VALUES:
The Race represents a very unusual physical environment in Ne~
York State. The deep, turbulent, waters and shoals combine to
produce a productive and diverse habitat for marine fishes.
Signif icant concentrations of many species forage in this area,
inClUding striped bass, bluefish, tautog, summer flounder, anci
scup. The Race is also one of two primary migration corr idors for
striped bass, which move into Long Island Sound in spring en route
to their breeding grounds, and return to southern wintering areas
during fall. As a result of the abundant fisheries reso~rces in
the a re a, The Race has beco;;,e a na t ionally renOI>'l1 ed spor tf is1:ing
area with heavy fishing pressure occurring throughout spring,
sumr.1er, and fall. ~luch of this pressure is brought in by charter
boats from Greenport, Montauk Harbor, and Connecticut. In
addition to sportfishing, The Race supports a commercial lobster
fishery of regional significance.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT:
The fisheries resources of The Race may be most affected by any
activities that would substantially alter water currents in the
area. Also, installation and operation of water intakes would
likely have a significant impact on juvenile (and adult, in some
cases) fish concentrations, through impingement or entrainment.
The significant human use which this area supports is dependent
upon maintaining or enhancing opportunities for cOr.1patible
recreational and commercial fishing, within the productivity
limits of the fisheries resources.

comprehensive surveys for plant and animal occurrences have not been con-
ducted. For these reasons, we can only provide data which have been as-
sembled from our files. We cannot provide a definitive statement on the
presence or absence of species, habitats or natural communities. This
information should not be substitut,od for on-site surveys that may be re-
quired for environmental assessment.
This response applies only to known Occurrences of rare animals, plants
and natural communities and/or significant wildlife habitats. You should
contact our regional office, Division of Regulatory Affairs, at the address
enclosed for information regarding any regulated areas or permits that may be
required (e.g., regulated wetlands) under State Law.
If this project is still active one year from now we recommend that you
contact us again so that we may update this response.

Your inquiry of January 15th and Trustee President John
Bredemeyer's letter to you of February 16th, 1993 were discussed
with the Planning Board members. The Planning Board agrees that
the environmental concerns about the runway overlay project and
the installation of a riprap type of sea wall are under the
Trustee Board's jurisdiction.
If either of these projects should necessitate changes to
ground (non-runway) lighting, the parking field or the existing
hangar/office, then the Planning Board would like to notified.
If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely,
~.cF1'~

RE: Elizabeth Air Field

" 1993
Dear Ms. Freda:
This letter will confirm receipt of your letter of January 15,
1993 and provide some information which I hope will be useful to
you in light of a recent corrununication I received from the
Planning Department and an inspection I made today onsite with
a representative of the Southold Town Conservation Advisory
Council (CAC) (not to be confused with the Fishers Island
Conservancy, the Town CAC provides the Trustees with a
mandatory advisory opinion for all wetland permits).
As the Town Planner believes that most environmental issues
properly reside with the Trustees (copy of her January 25, 1993
memo attached for your information) you will be able to limit
your future corrununication in this area to this Board. However,
if any changes to airport parking or lighting thereto or other
planning related issues become apparent, I would corrunend you to
contact their office directly.
In your letter of January 15, 1993 you gave us credit where it
wasn't due; Fishers Island was designated as a CEA by Suffolk
County. The Southold Trustees designated areas on the
"mainland" of Southold as CEA's which they hold in the public
trust. However, because our charter does not include Fishers
Island only the Southo1d Town Board, Suffolk County or New York
State Legislative bodies having jurisdiction over lands there,
could make such a determination.
As the proposed asphalt plant is beyond the jurisdiction of the
Trustees under the ordinance we administer {Coastal Erosion
(Chapter 37) and Wetlands (Chapter 97 of the Town Code)}, we
will not be involved with the plant at the site you propose.
i.
.
.
.
.
Rf'cently, the president of the Fishers Island Conservancy, John
Thatcher, communicated concerns too me on the plant location
which I believe have been relayed to you directly. I would
request that any reasonable alteI:native proposed by this group
which will not affect the cost of the operation be assessed.
Should alternatives raise additional concerns or problems they
should be discussed with the Town Board and Supervisor as the
Trustees are not empowered to make such decisions.
with respect to the revetment I believe I may have greatly
overstated the storm potential of the site and the need for 2
ton stone given the general sandy condition of the beach. In
inspecting this site and discussing it further with both Mr.
Thatcher and our CAC representative Bruce Loucka I believe
it might be appropriate to down size the stone size to 3/4 to 1
ton stone or eliminate it completely. If it is required it
should be placed at or slightly below grade relying on beach
stabilization with beach grasses to prevent sand movement onto
the runway. In any instance, stone work, if planned, should be
constructed in a tight fitting lattice as is usually done in
jetties and elevated revetments subject to considerable force.
As soon as the location and scope of the various structural
elements of the project is decided you will want to submit your
applications for a permit so the involved agencies can conclude
SEQRA as quickly as possible. Provided there is no controversy
the Trustees could conclude permitting in approximately 3 months.
If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to
call.

Dear Ms. Scopaz:
On behalf of the Town of Southold, C&S Engineers, Inc., is providing assistance in the preparation of
an Environmental Assessment Form (EAF), as required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act
(SEQR) for the following improvements at Elizabeth Field Airport, Fishers Island, New York:
. Runway Overlay Project
. Riprap Sea Wall
Elizabeth Field Airport is situated within a Critical Environmental Area (CEA) designated by the Town
of Southold. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Section 617.4(h), SEQR, an unlisted action occurring within a CEA
must be treated as a Type I action; therefore, coordinated review and a full EAF are required. This letter
is a request for your office's assistance in identifying any possible areas of environmental concern at the
airport.
The proposed runway overlay project consists of overlaying both runways at Elizabeth Field Airport with
asphalt in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifications. In order to minimize
disruption of ferry operations and runway closure at the airport, the construction of an on-site temporary
asphalt plant has been proposed. Locating the plant on site will allow the town much more control over
the installation of the asphalt. The temporary plant will be located nortbeastofRunway 31, approximately
halfway between the east ends of Runway 25 arid Runway 31 on an existing gravel road. The plant is
temporary and will be completely dismantled and removed from the island upon completion of the runway
overlay project. The selected contractor will choose which type of plant to construct as there are basically
three types of plants currently in use in the United States: batch plant, drum mix plants and continuous
mix plants. The major components of an asphalt plant include the cold-feed system; the asphalt cement
supply system; the aggregate dryer, mixing towell, and emission control system. The plant tower consists
of several elements: hot elevator, screen deck, hot bins, weigh hopper, asphalt cement weigh bucket and
pugmill. Aggregate will also be stockpiled at the plant.

The proposed riprap sea wall consists of approximately 220 linear feet of large boulders (approximately)
2 tons each) placed on the existing slope between the west end of Runway 7 and the Atlantic Ocean. The
riprap will be approximately 15 feet wide at its base, placed at a 1: 1 slope, 6 feet in height, measured
from the existing grade. Beach grass will be planted in accordance with NYSDEC specifications in the
sandy area that is situated between the west end of Runway 7 and the eastern edge of the riprap. The
purpose of the riprap is to alleviate the sand washing onto the runway end during small storms.
A tidal wetlands permit application pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 and Article
25, 6 NYCRR 661, for the proposed riprap sea wall will be filed with the appropriate agencies at the
completion of SEQR.
A location map and site plan are enclosed for your review. If you need further information, please

Dear Ms. Scopaz:
On behalf of the Town of Southold, C&S Engineers, Inc., is providing assistance in the preparation of
an Environmental Assessment Form (EAF), as required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act
(SEQR) for the following improvements at Elizabeth Field Airport, Fishers Island, New York:
. Runway Overlay Project
. Riprap Sea Wall
Elizabeth Field Airport is situated within a Critical Environmental Area (CEA) designated by the Town
of Southold. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Section 617.4(h), SEQR, an urdisted action occurring within a CEA
must be treated as a Type I action; therefore, coordinated review and a full EAF are required. This letter
is a request for your office's assistance in identifying any possible areas of environmental concern at the
airport.
The proposed runway overlay project consists of overlaying both runways at Elizabeth Field Airport with
asphalt in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifications. In order to minimize
disruption of ferry operations and runway closure at the airport, the construction of an on-site temporary
asphalt plant has been proposed. Locating the plant on site will allow the town much more control over
the installation of the asphalt. The temporary plant will be located northeast of Runway 3 I, approximately
halfway between the east ends of Runway 25 and Runway 31 on an existing gravel road. The plant is
temporary and will be completely dismantled and removed from the island upon completion of the runway
overlay project. The selected contractor will choose which type of plant to construct as there are basically
three types of plants currently in use in the United States: batch plant, drum mix plants and continuous
mix plants. The major components of an asphalt plant include the cold.feed system; the asphalt cement
supply system; the aggregate dryer, mixing towcr, and emission control system. The plant tower consists
of several elements: hot elevator, screen deck, hot bins, weigh hopper, asphalt cement weigh bucket and
pugmill. Aggregate will also be stockpiled at the plant.
