RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board has no objection to your designation of lead agency for the application of Suffolk Cement Precast, Inc.for a Sand and Gravel Pit Permit at Cutchogue. very truly yours, ~WSS~~~~R1}dAKA SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD By Diane M. Schultze, Secretary . . TEL. 765-1802 TOWN OF SOUTHOLD OFFICE OF BUILDING INSPECTOR P.O. BOX 728 TOWN HALL SOUTHOLD, N.Y. 11971 CIP1f11_ ... March 28,1985 To: Town Board From: Victor Lessard Exec. Admin. Building Dept.~'~ " subject: Application for permit for Sand & Gravel pit or other excavation purposes. Applicant: Suffolk Cement Precast, Inc. Location: Oregon Rd. & Cox Ln., Cutchogue The first consideration to be addressed is, what benefit or gain would such a condition be for Southold Town? Certain- ly it is not to have another hole added to the community. The Town has two abandoned sites in Laurel; one in Southold; another in East Marion; and a fifth one in Orient. By the time the hole becomes a reality; the Town will not be able to use it for a disposal area expansion because it will outlaw such a disposal procedure years before. Does the Town need a cement block plant in the Town? I think not. The application asks Southold Town to waver all its restrictions on the contention that they pro- pose putting up a building or buildings in the future for some unspecified operation. In the meantime the excavation will sal- vage the operation in Calverton. The survey of the area indicates the operation will come to within ten feet above the water table. Is the Town willing to gamble on side-leakage from the presently lined disposal area in- to the water table? The Town is getting enough correspondence from the environmental agency on water & gas conditions now in this area. I fail to see any benefits the Town would derive from such an operation. VL:dsm . .

MINING PERMIT APPLICATION AND RECLAMATION REPORT N.Y.S. MINING PERMIT NO. MINING PLAN NARRATIVE This is a surface unconsolidated type of mine. The screening of the area is afforded due to a natural terrain of the property. In addition, the applicants propose to further screen the property from Oregon Road and neighbors on the West by constructing a berm along both boundaries. Along the boundaries fronting on Oregon Road and to a depth of approximately two hundred fifty (250') feet off of Oregon Road Japanese Black Pines or an approved equivalent would be planted. The mining site will eventually be lower than the surrounding area. The area to the North bordering Oregon Road is farmland. The area to the East is woodland currently and would be graded over and part of it replaced by an industrial plant site. The area to the West is farmland with the exception of a house located at the Northwest corner of the project and the area to the South is owned by the Town of Southold which uses it for a sanitary landfill and current mining operation. The mining area will be on slopes. The slopes will be one (1') foot vertical for a slope of one (I') foot horizontal. The mining for the current term shall proceed in a Westerly direction. Thereafter the applicants will proceed in both a Westerly and Northerly direction in successive permit terms. The property will be excavated by front end pay- loaders and placed on dump trucks. There are no noise or pollution problems presented. RECLAMATION PLAN NARRATIVE It is anticipated that when the site is fully mined that the site will be an industrial plant site. In the event that it should not prove economically feasible to do so, then, of course, the land would be re-vegetated. The area will be covered with six (6") inches of topsoil in accordance with the Town of Southold requirements. Sufficient grasses would be planted to hold the topsoil in place. The area is extremely suitable for an industrial plant site. It is intended that Suffolk Cement Products, Inc., a cement plant operation, having its main plant located at Calverton, New York, will operate a plant at the Southeast corner of the area, as this will be the first area to be mined and prepared for an industrial plant site. The berms and plantings referred to in the mining plan narrative will operate to serve as an additional natural screening in addition to the woods along the Easterly boundary of the property. t . . March 20, 1985 SECTION D (27.) I have read the Suffolk Cement Precast, Inc. Reclamation Plan Narrative on the Rider attached hereto. At the present time there is an application for a permit for a sand and gravel permit before the Southold Town Board. How- ever, a public hearing must be held on the application and a determination made by the Board thereafter. . . JUDITH T.

EAF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT - PART II " Project Impacts and Their Maqnitude Goneral Information (Read Carefully) _ In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my decisions and determinations been reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. _ Identifying that an effect will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it ;s also necessarily Si~nificant. Any la~ge effect must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. By identifying an 'ef ect In column 2 SImply asks that it be looked at further. _ The Exailles provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of effects and wherever possible the threshold of magn! ude that would trigger a response in col..... 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be more appropriate for a Potential Large Impact rating. _ Each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary, Therefore, the examples have been offered as guidance, They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. _ The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. INSTRUCTIONS (Read Carefully) " a. Answer each of the lB questions in PART 2. Answer Ves if there will be !nl effect. b. Maybe answers should be considered as !ll answers. c. If answering Ves to a auestion then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1. d. If reviewer has doubt about the size of the impact tile" consider tne imaact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. e. If a potentially large impact or effect can be reduced by a change in the project to a less than large magnitude, place a Ves in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. IMPACT ON LANO 1 2.. a.

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, ~opsoiled 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. -~ 'llo . . i(e-: ~~ {f~~ rf?/Ze(.cza;-.JI~. A~ ROBERT W.

Terry Town Clerk Town of Southold Main Road Southold, New York 11971 MAR 7 1985 Town Clerk Southold Dear Judy: You sent me a copy of the application and supporting documents in the above matter and asked for my comments, which are as follows: 1. It appejlrs that the applicant is a contract vendee to purchase 15.7 acres of land on the west side of Cox Lane at Cutchogue from Leander B. Glover, Jr. I t is apparently the intention of the applicant to excavate sand and gravel from 9 acres of this land and to establish an industrial park on the remaining 6 acres, including a cement manufacturing plant. 2. The Code of the Town of Southold requires a minimum of 20 acres for a sand and gravel excavation facility. The total land in question is 15 acres 3. The Town Code provides that operations be setback at least 200 feet from all streets and highways and 150 feet from all property lines. The applicant requests a waiver of the street setback requirements from 200 feet to 100 feet and the boundary line requirements from 100 feet to 50 feet. 4. The applicant indicates that a total in excess of 500,000 cu. yds. is proposed to be excavated at a rate of approximately 100,000 cu. yds. per yr. 5. The applicant intends to excavate to a depth of 5 feet above ground water. It would appear that the excavation will be approximately 15 ft. deep. In summary, it would appear that the proposed application is at variance with most of the code requirements as to mimimum area requirements and minimum setback requirements. I ...... . . -2- As to the SEQUA process, it would seem to me that extensive excavation and industrial operations are intended to take place on the site which may involve dust, noise and heavy equipment operations and that the extent of sand and gravel excavation will change the character of the premises, all of which, it seems to me to be likely to have an adverse affect upon the environment and, therefore, require a draft environmental impact statement. .

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. The excavation would commence in the Southeasterly corner of the 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 neighbors on the West a berm would be constructed along both boundaries. Along the boundaries fronting on Oregon Road and to a depth of approximately two hundred fifty (250') feet off of Oregon Road, Japanese Black pines or an approved equivalent would be planted. At such time as the entire area is mined, the area would be graded on an approximate slope of one on four. The entire area as part of the reclamation project would have to be covered with six (6") inches of topsoil in, accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Town of Southold. It is intended that the area be mined to approximately five (5') feet above groundwater level. The reclaimed area would be developed for additional industrial park sites. It would be unrealistic to indicate that any part of the area would be rehabilitated prior to December 31, 1985. In order to file a New York State application, it is necessary that the consent of the Town of Southold be approved. The applicants have met with representatives of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation who have acutally had an on site inspection. The current regulations of the Town of Southold indicate that the proposed site must have a minimum of twenty (20) acres. The entire parcel involved is only 15.7 acres. The entire area to be mined over the length of the mining operation would be nine (9) acres, and, there- fore, we must have a waiver of that part of the Town's requirement. The regulations further provide that any proposed operations are to be set back at least two hundred (200') feet from any road, street, avenue or highway, and set back one hundred fifty (150') feet from any property line. The New York State regulations require only a twenty- five (25') foot set back. In view of the fact that if we were to be required to adhere to these required setbacks, it would render the usable area uneconomically feasible to mine. A waiver is sought reducing the setbacks from the road to one hundred (100') feet, and along the adjacent property owners to fifty (50') feet. The rear of this property adjoins the Town of Southold Landfill operation. There is a hill and existing woods to screen the easterly side. The construction of a berm and the planting of trees along Oregon Road and along the easterly boundary would serve to screen the operation from the public's view. In addition, we are requesting that we be permitted to use that area fronting on Cox's Lane for the future development of an industrial park Qite, and that since the area would not be used for storage of materials mined, or equipment from this use, that we be permitted to develop said area. ~. ,.,...",... ..~~.., -, .......,- ) . .

EAF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT - PART II Project Impacts and Their Maqnitude General Information (Read Carefully) - In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my decisions and determinations been reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. - Identifying that an effect will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily si,nificant. Any large effect must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. By identifying an 'ef ect in column 2 Simply asks that It be looked at further. - The Exa~~s provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of effects and wherever possible the threshnld of magn e that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be more appropriate for a Potential Large Impact rating. - Each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore. the examples have been offered as guidance, They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. - The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. INSTRUCTIONS (Read Carefully) a. Answer each of the 1B questions in PART 2. Answer ~ if there will be !nl effect. b. Mavbe answers should be considered as Yes answers. c. If answering Yes to a ouestion then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential sfze of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example. check column 1. d. If reviewer has doubt about the size of the impact t~en consider the imoact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. e. If a potentially large impact or effect can be reduced by a change in the project to a less than large magnitude, place a Yes in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. NO YES 1. WILL THERE BE AN EFFECT AS A RESULT OF A PHYSICAL CHANGE TO <:::),~ PROJECT SITE? I MPACT ON LAND 1 ~. a.

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, ~opsoiled and seeded. . Impact On Visual Resource 10. Will the project affect views, vistas or the visual chqracter 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 propo'sed 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. " ;.> . .
