RE: Proposal to Provide Consulting Services
Town of Southold Harbor Management Plan
Dear Ms. Terry:
Allee King Rosen & Fleming, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal to
assist the Town of Southold in the preparation of its Harbor Management Plan.
As stated in the request for proposals, "the purpose of this study is to be a
comprehensive examination of all the surface waters within and adjacent to the
Town and to identify problems of conflict, congestion and competition for space
in the use of harbors, surface waters and underwater lands." We see this work
and its objectives as an important project in support of the Town's maritime
industry, recreational boating activities, and economy. Ultimately, this will
be a significant element in the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
(LWRP).
For this project, we have assembled a team that is specific to the Town
needs as defined by the scope of work. Our team consists of:
o Allee King Rosen & Fleming. Inc. is well known throughout the state
as a leader in the field of environmental analysis, waterfront plan-
ning, and policy analysis. We are a multidisciplinary consulting
firm with particular experience in waterfront studies and coastal
zone management. Allee King will lead the team and be responsible
for the final product, preparation of draft policies and recommenda-
tions, the environmental and planning studies, project management,
and client contact. I will be the Project Manager; assisting me will
be Robert White.
o
Neil Ross Consultants will provide technical assistance in the prepa-
ration of the marina inventory work as well as the strategy and poli-
cy recommendations. Mr. Ross is a nationally known specialist in the
field of marina inventory and investigation (he led the U.S. National

EJ!Ilntroduction
As stated in the Request for Proposals (RFPl. the project
goal is to develop a strategy for managing activities in the
harbor and nearshore areas of the Town through a com-
prehensive Harbor Management Plan. Ultimately, this
plan will be part of the Southold Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program (LWRP), currently in draft form,
and local regulations could be enacted by the Town Board
to effectuate the goals and recommendations of the plan.
It is the intention to complete the LWRP in the first half
of 1995. This study will be used to develop an important
component of the LWRP.
Specifically, this project will provide guidance in how to
manage boat traffic; general harbor uses; identification of
appropriate locations for boat support structures, such as
docks, piers, and moorings; pump-out facilities and spe-
cial anchorage areas; and the classification of local and
federal navigation channels. It will develop alternatives
for use of the waterfront and identify their probable
effects. Ancillary to the Town's completion of a
Townwide Harbor Management Plan and its LWRP, there
are two main areas of attention in this effort: 1) an inven-
tory and analysis of recreational marinas in the Town;
and 2) the preparation of a detailed Harbor Management
Program for Mattituck Inlet.
[lI Overview to the Work
Program
We see seven steps to this comprehensive planning effort:
. Identify the problem;
. Select goals to achieve problem resolution;
. Gather the baseline data and information;
. Develop alternative solutions to meet the goals;
. Evaluate the alternatives;
. Selection of an approach/strategies; and
. Implementation.
As outlined in the RFP, this study has five major tasks.
Each task is discussed in greater detail below.
Task 1: Identification and Mapping of the Harbor
Management Study Area
There are 10 shoreline reaches to be analyzed; 4 along the
Sound, 5 along the bays, and Fisher Island. Mattituck
Inlet is Reach 1. The study area will be the marine waters
of the Town, or extending out to 1,500 feet from the shore-
line, whichever is greater. Adjacent inland activities,
including land uses-both maritime and general land use
patterns-as well as natural and cultural features will be
depicted where they are relevant to the use and manage-
ment of surface waters and underwater lands.
Working closely with the Town and state, we will devel-
op a digital inventory of natural and built features within
the study area. We are experienced in using both
ARC/INFO or MapInfo for the creation and analysis of
digital inventories and will work with the Town and state
to determine which software best meets the project needs.
As an initial action, we will meet with the Town and state
to define in greater detail what is needed for each data
layer, determine to what extent existing data will meet the
needs of the project, and prioritize the data development
process. The project budget does not allow creating a hard
copy map of the inventory; however, the digital informa-
tion will be submitted to the Town. Subsequent actions
for developing and managing the GIS inventory are out-
lined in greater detail below.
To the extent possible, we will rely on existing digital
data that meet the data standards outlined in Attachment
3 of the RFP. For example, it is our understanding that
digital parcel boundaries, parcel centroids, and shoreline
boundaries for the town have been prepared by the
Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA). We also antici-
pate using existing Digital Line Graph (DLG) data to rep-
resent roads, streams, and many other elements of the
inventory.
For this effort, we propose to use digital baseline map
products being prepared for the Erosion Management
Plan that would be adjusted to meet the needs of this
study. Townwide plan products would be at the 1:24,000
scale of the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) map as
recommended in the RFP.
A. Develop Quality Assurance and Quality Control
(QA/QC) Procedures
Our experience indicates that tight project schedules
and limited budgets may compromise cartographic
integrity. Therefore, we propose a stringent QAlQC
procedure to protect the inventory and client require-
ments.
To ensure that all data included in the inventory are
suitable for the project purposes, procedures will be
established to verify that certain quality standards are
met. Standard indicators of data quality to be consid-
ered include:

. Positional Accuracy. How exact is the geograph
ic location of the features represented in the
data layer;
. Accuracy of Attribute Information. Is the infor-
mation associated with geographic features cor-
rect? and
. Completeness of the Data Layer. Are there fea-
tures missing from the data later?
Each data layer will go through a process of QA/QC
checks before it is approved for inclusion in the
inventory, including:
. In-process checks (occurring as the data layers
are being developed, by using such techniques
as setting digitizing error tolerance); and
· Town of Southold/New York State Department
of State (NYSDOS) review.
B. Document Data Sources and Quality
To use the inventory in a convenient and accurate
manner, it is important that a detailed record of infor-
mation contained within each data layer be main-
tained. A "data dictionary" will be designed to cata-
log pertinent information about each of the data lay-
ers. The following are examples of the type of infor-
mation to be included in the data dictionary:
. Data layer name;
. Vintage;
. Scale;
. Data source;
. Description of attribute information; and
. Last update.
C. Develop Initial Attribute Coding Scheme
Information about a geographic features will be
stored in an appropriate reference coding system.
These codes are then used to efficiently select, query,
and analyze geographic features.
D. Establish Data Layer Naming Convention
A logical system for naming the different data layers
will be developed, allowing for descriptive and
unique computer file names.
E. Establish Backup Procedures
To m;n;m;~e recovery time due to data loss, proce-
dures will be routinely followed to back up all com-
piled source data, work-in-progress, and complete
data layers.
F. Establish GIS Format
We will use either an ARC/INFO or Maplnfo GIS for-
mat for the project. The data layers developed in the
next phase will then be stored in the preferred GIS
format.
Task 2: Data Inventory and Analysis
Data Inventory
This task will compile a comprehensive inventory of mar-
itime activities, both commercial and recreational, as well
as the natural, cultural, aesthetic, and recreational uses
and activities within the study area, including a full
inventory of all marinas in the Town. The marina inven-
tory will provide a comprehensive database on current
boating activities and the adequacy of available facilities.
Results of this work will be important for examining the
Town's future maritime infrastructure needs. Available
references and maps developed by the Town and state
include:
. The Mattituck Inlet Study and Watershed Analysis
(with a map);
. An Inventory of Natural Resources in Mattituck
Inlet;
. The Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Policy
2-Water Dependent Uses;
. A Parking Study of Marinas;
. A study of development in marine zones;
. The local Water Quality Assessment;
. A road run-off study, plus the addendum of the
shellfish Advisory Committee;
. Aerial maps dating from 1988 and 1993;
. Land use and zoning maps;
. MI and MIl zoning ordinances;
. Site plans of certain marinas;
. RPPW Master Plan Studies;
. A listing of properties that have Town trustee
permits for docks, bulkheads, jetties, groins, and
houses; and
. A list of moorings.
Additional reference data will be gathered from the Long
Island Sound Coastal Management Program, such mar-
itime gnides as the Waterway Guide published by Boating
Industry Magazine, and local National Oceanographic
and Atmospheric Administration Nautical Charts, avail-
able inventories of historical structures, historical records
on shipwrecks, and other publications and references as
relevant, many of which Mr. Neil Ross has authored or co-
authored (see section IV).

I. Issues and Understanding of the Project
Southold Harbor Management Plan Proposal
Empirical data will be collected from field surveys and
interviews with local officials, representatives, and mari.
na operators. The focus of our effort will be on recre-
ational marina activities and facilities. We expect this
work to involve a series of interviews with town officials
and maritime operators, the coast guard, and harbor
police or bay constable. The inventory will also include
an evaluation of the marinas in relationship to the ecolo-
gy in the immediate area, including water quality, wet-
lands, and the presence of shellfish beds, vegetation, and
fish and wildlife habitats. After completion of the base-
line data gathering, the results will be put into tabular and
text form. Graphics will show the relevant data within the
study area.
Analysis
This analysis and evaluation will support the recommen-
dations and strategies proposed in the Harbor
Management Plan. To be undertaken with the Town and
state, this work will ultimately result in a series of poli-
cies and strategies, establishing both long- and short-term
goals and objectives for resolution of the problems and
issues disclosed in the baseline data gathering.
As demonstrated by our qualifications and experience
(section IV), Allee King Rosen & Fleming, Inc. and Mr.
Neil Ross will bring to this analysis a particular expertise
in problem-solving and public policy strategy within the
realm of maritime planning. We will work closely with
the Town and state in formulating the strategies that will
be derived from this effort. This evaluation will include,
but not be limited to, assessments of competing and
potentially conflicting uses, constraints on maritime uses,
uses ofregional importance, an overview of the regulato-
ry environment (local. state, and federall with respect to
construction of maritime physical structures and the pres-
ences of physical and natural features along the water's
edge. In addition to Mattituck Inlet, discrete harbor man-
agement units may be identified as a result of this effort.
In these areas, specific policies and recommendations
may be appropriate. This effort will also identify any gaps
in information or areas where further study is recom-
mended.
Task 3: Development of a Draft Townwide
Harbor Management Plan
Using text and graphics, the policies and recommenda-
tions developed under Task 2 will be compiled into an
overall water use plan for the study area. Each reach will
be shown with the identified plan recommendations, pre-
senting the recommended uses for the surface water and
the underwater lands as well as any necessary capital
improvements. Areas of specific regulation necessary for
the implementation of the plan will be outlined.
The underlying purpose of this plan is to present reason-
able and practical solutions to the identified problems
and conflicts. It will address the full range of maritime
infrastructure needs, both in the water- such as naviga-
tion channels, open water areas, and anchorages-and
upland, including dry rack storage, parking. and traffic
circulation. This plan could propose a number of alterna-
tives solutions to particular problems and disclose the
environmental and planning consequences of such alter-
native recommendations.
Task 4: Draft Harbor Management Program for
Mattituck Inlet
Task 4 will focus specifically on the issues about
Mattituck Inlet. In conjunction with the Town and state,
we will develop a detailed Harbor Management Program
for the inlet that will be consistent with and apply the
issues of the overall plan, such as competing and poten-
tially conflicting uses, constraints on maritime uses, and
uses of a regional importance. Ultimately, this effort will
create a map showing the existing and recommended reg-
ulations for uses along the inlet surface waters and under-
water lands, as well as its natural and cultural features
and any recommended capital improvements. Because
the focus of the inlet plan study area is smaller, a larger-
scale map would more appropriate. As with the larger
plan, the inlet plan could include alternative solutions to
particular problems and disclose the planning and envi-
ronmental consequences of the alternatives.
Task 5: Final Draft
On completion of all text and graphics, five copies of a
draft report will be submitted to the Town and state for
their review. There will be two parts to the report: a
townwide Harbor Management Plan and a detailed unit
Harbor Management Plan for Mattituck Inlet. The report
will include a discussion of the methodologies used as
well as all references and sources of information. A pub-
lic meeting will then be held to present and discuss the
draft plan. To complete the study, a final draft report will
be prepared incorporating the comments and recommen-
dations of the Town and state. Text and graphics will be
modified accordingly and five final copies will be sub-
mitted along with a 3.5-inch disk that provides the text in
WordPerfect 5.1 format and all graphics.

II. Organization and Schedule
fJ!I Project Organization
As shown in the organization chart (Figure II-1), this proj-
ect will be a cooperative effort between the Town, the
state, and the consultant. Ultimately, this work will
become part of the Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program and provide guidance to local officials for plan-
ning decisions and possible enactment of local laws and
zoning changes. Therefore, the work will be conducted
under the guidance of a subcommittee of the Town's
Waterfront Advisory Committee and coordinated by the
Town Planning Department, with technical assistance
and input from the Department of State's Division of
Coastal Resources and Waterfront Revitalization.
Allee King's project manager will be Mr. Philip Sears. Mr.
Sears has extensive experience and background in mar-
itime studies and is widely published in the field of mar-
itime and coastal program and policy issues. As project
manager, he will be responsible for, oversee, and organize
all work products and technical data and will be actively
involved in the development and preparation of the
report. A full copy of Mr. Sears' resume is provided
below in section IV of this proposal.
Mr. Robert White will be the Deputy Project Manager. Mr.
White is a senior environmental planner, a member of the
American Institute of Certified Planners, and a licensed
Professional Planner in the State of New Jersey. He has
more than 11 years' experience in the profession, with
much of his work focusing on coastal environment, mas-
ter planing, and zoning. Mr. White has led a number of
environmental impact statements for the firm that have
addressed coastal development issues, and has also
obtained federal permits for construction in water
(Section 10) and dredging (Section 404). A full copy of
Mr. White's resume is also provided in section IV.
Working with Allee King will be Neil W. Ross and George
Hossfeld, Jr. Mr. Ross is a nationally known expert in the
field of marina and boating studies as well as assessments
of marina operations and water quality impacts. Mr.
Hossfeld has more than 40 years of experience as the
operator of Jakobsen's shipyard in Oyster Bay, and brings
an extensive hands-on experience to our team. Mapping
will be prepared by Saratoga Associates under the direc-
tion of Brian McMahon.
A working relationship among the Town and state staff
and representatives and the consultant team will be cru-
cial to the success of this study. This includes the Town
trustees, many of whom are knowledgeable of the issues
at hand; the members of the Waterfront Advisory
Committee and the Harbor Management subcommittee;
the Departments of Planning and Community
Development and other appropriate agencies; and techni-
cal staff from the Department of State's Division of Coastal
Resources. This combined and coordinated effort will be
vital in developing gathering baseline data and construc-
tive and practical policies and recommendations.
As part of this cooperative effort, we also anticipate local
assistance ("in-kind" services) from Town staff, commit-
tees, and other representatives in a number of areas,
including making available previously prepared reports,
back-up files, and summaries; establishing local contacts
and arranging meetings with Town departments and rep-
resentatives as well as marina operators and other indi-
viduals; assistance in field surveys and interviews;
arranging public notices and organizing the public meet-
ings, as well as providing any handouts or project sum-
maries; and provision of craft for marine field investiga-
tions.
[]I Project Schedule
This project requires a sizable work effort over a very fast
track. about 3 months or 12 weeks (see Figure II-2). Our
team brings to this project a proven record of providing
quality work in a timely and efficient manner. Allee King
Rosen and Fleming, Inc. has a multidisciplinary staff of
more than 40 planners, engineers, environmental scien-
tists, and transportation and historic resources specialists
on whom we can draw to complete this effort. Moreover,
this diversity in staff and experience allows us to address
specific environmental and planning issues as they occur
in the course of this effort. Weare also joined on this
project by a team of individuals equally dedicated and
respected in their ability to provide high quality products
on a fast track schedule.
Allee King believes in close communication with clients.
To achieve this goal, from the start of work we will estab-
lish ongoing contact with Town and state staff. We have
found this to be the most effective technique for ensuring
client satisfaction and a high quality product. We pro-
pose a start-up meeting in late December between the
Town, the state, and the consultant in which the project
team can exchange ideas and available data and reports,
as well as establish group and individual responsibilities
and roles in the project studies. In addition, if deemed
appropriate by the Town and state, three project team
meetings could be held to coordinate the team and ensure
product quality and schedule. At these meetings, certain

[3!1 Selected Waterfront and
Coastal Projects
Culloden Point Subdivision, Town of East
Hampton, N.Y.
The firm prepared an environmental impact statement
(EIS] for this 62-unit subdivision proposed in the Town of
East Hampton. With some 292 acres of waterfront land
and 1.3 miles of project coastline (much of which is steep
bluffs) along Fort Pond Bay and Block Island Sound, ero-
sion along the shoreline and the potential impacts of the
project on the stability of the bluffs was a major issue for
the project. To assess trends over time. U.S. coastal maps
dating back to 1838 were reviewed, wave action analyses
were performed, photographic records before and after
major coastal storms were recorded, an evaluation of aer-
ial photographs from 1955 and 1992 was undertaken, and
historical topographic maps of the site were compared.
These analyses led to the establishment of appropriate
setbacks for structures and the development of vegetation
preservation easements along the bluffs. Other issues
were the preservation of wetlands, potential impacts on
archaeological features (both historic and prehistoric],
protection of historic resources, protection of vegetation
and rare and endangered species, preservation of views of
the site from the water and of natural topographic fea-
tures, and traffic and transportation. This project is cur-
rently in subdivision review by the Town Planning Board.

Colgate-Palmolive Company-450.Slip Marina
Design, Jersey City, N.J.
The most important issue raised with this project was
how to design a marina that could attenuate waves from
winds and boat traffic at an exposed location, where the
Hudson River meets New York Harbor, while being envi-
ronmentally sensitive and meeting the regulatory require-
ments of the State of New Jersey. Wave studies showed
that the largest impacts were from boat traffic along the
Hudson River, particularly tugboats and ferry traffic to the
Statue of Liberty. A system was developed that adequate-
ly attenuated the wave wakes while meeting the prevail-
ing environmental standards. Other issues addressed
were public access and compatibility with the proposed
waterfront promenade at the water's edge, the presence of
dilapidated underwater piers, riparian issues, the dredg-
ing and disposal of 40,000 cubic yards of sediment, poten-
tial view iropacts on the Statue of Liberty from a nearby
public park, and the availability of maritime support ser-
vices as well as pump-out facilities and amenities for
transient boaters. Allee King worked with the marina
designers and the state to ensure that certain design ele-
ments and public amenities were provided, which led to
the issuance of the project's waterfront development per-
mit in September 1990.
Colgate-Palmolive Army Corps of Engineers
Permits, Jersey City, N.J.
Allee King provided environmental and planning services
and led a project team through the federal regulatory
process to obtain permits for the Colgate-Palmolive inter-
im waterfront recreation and infrastructure improvement
projects. This included a mooring field for 104 craft as
well as a boathouse, pier rehabilitation, repair and
replacement of about 1,100 feet of bulkhead, a ferry ser-
vice, and the in-water construction of a manifold to col-
lect and abate combined overflow discharges to the
Hudson River. Issues addressed were the safety of moor-
ing boats at this location, public access to the redeveloped
pier, and the ecological and water quality impacts of fill-
ing the river to construct the proposed manifold. An
exlensive alternatives analysis was developed that dis-
closed no practicable alternative for the routing of the
proposed manifold. The analysis also revealed the mani-
fold's impact on water quality to be beneficial, not harm-
ful. Working with the Army Corps of Engineers, the
Environmental Protection Agency, the National Marine
Fisheries Service, and the Fish and Wildlife Service, all
issues were resolved and a mitigation plan developed.
Federal permits for the project were issued in June 1994.
Jakobson Shipyard, Oyster Bay, N.Y.
The firm has secured permits and is currently managing
the dredging and disposal of 5,000 cubic yards of sedi-
ment at this former maritime construction and repair
facility. Much of this sediment contains hazardous mate-
rials and is being disposed of at an upland location. For
this effort, the firm designed an innovative sediment
cleanup program that employs a vacuum removal system.
With this approach, the contaminated sediment can be
removed without the suspension of additional material
and impacts on the water column. This work is being
monitored by NYSDEC, the Friends of Oyster Bay, the Bay
Constable, and the National Fish and Wildlife Service.
Maritime Support Services Location Study, Port
of New York and New Jersey
This study focused on the land and berthing needs of the
maritime support service firms-tugs, barges, and supply
craft-in the Port of New York and New Jersey. The first
task was to identify all the maritime support service firms
on the port and their locations. The number of floating
equipment, their type, and the number of employees for
each company were determined by interviewing the com-
panies and researching published sources. The growth of
the industry was projected to 2000 and their needs for
new equipment, employees, and land were determined.
Siting considerations including hydrographic conditions,
markets, and supplies, were analyzed for all areas of the
port. Candidate areas were identified for each of the dif-
ferent kinds of maritime support services. Within the can-
didate areas, specific locations were chosen as example
bases for maritime support service firms. Conceptual lay-
outs were developed for each site, and the development
costs were estimated. The costs were annualized, and the
ability of maritime support service firms to absorb these
costs were discussed. Finally, a list oftecommendations
for maintaining these firms in the port through 2000 were
developed. Most of the recommendations have been
iroplemented since the report was issued.
Hudson River Park, New York, N.Y.
The firm is leading a consultant team to prepare a Generic
EIS (GElS) and provide other services relating to the plan-
ning and environmental review of the proposed Hudson
River Park. The project, sponsored by the New York State
Urban Development Corporation, would provide for the
renewal of Manhattan's west side waterfront by develop-
ing a park and selected existing piers as public recreation,
residential, and/or commercial uses along an approxi-
mately 4-mile-long area on the Hudson River. Upon

completion, it will be the largest park developed in
Manhattan since the expansion of Riverside Park in the
1930's.
Major issues of the project include its consistency with
the city's Waterfront Revitalization Program; preserva-
tion of sensitive historic and archaeological resources;
visual quality, as a result of the changed character of the
waterfront; effects on the habitat and aquatic systems of
the river; increased pedestrian activity; traffic, air quality,
and noise, since the park would be adjacent to Route 9A;
and increased wastewater generation.
Chelsea Piers, New York, N.Y.
The Chelsea Piers Limited Partnership retained the firm
to prepare the environmental impact statement for the
proposed redevelopment of the Chelsea piers [Piers 59
through 62) on the Hudson River for a variety of commer-
cial and recreational uses. The key environmental issues
are consistency with the city's waterfront zoning and
Waterfront Revitalization Program, historic and archaeo-
logical resources, economic conditions, traffic and trans-
portation, water quality, and natural resources.
Howland Hook Container Terminal-
Environmental Services, Staten Island, N.Y.
The firm was retained by Container Transport
Technology, Inc. to provide ongoing consulting concern-
ing general environmental issues relating to New York
City's administrative processes and the permitting
process at the state and federal level. Container Transport
Technology, Inc. representing the United States Lines, is
involved in the phased expansion of the Howland Hook
Marine Terminal in Staten Island, the largest container
port facility on the East Coast. The terminal expansion
was being undertaken as a joint venture between the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey and the city of
New York.
Lake Erie Waterfront Analysis and Projections,
Buffalo Metropolitan Area, N.Y.
As part of an analysis prepared for submittal to NYSDEC,
the firm analyzed land use and economic changes in the
Lake Erie waterfront area of the Buffalo metropolitan area.
The analysis included real estate sales and values, land
use plans and zoning, and economic growth. The area is a
pattern of residential neighborhoods, parkland, and com-
mercial areas. As the Buffalo metropolitan area has
grown, the Lake Erie waterfront has been undergoing
changes. For a primary area of about five miles and a
broader secondary area, the analysis addressed the effects
of policy changes on existing land uses and their viabili-
ty, land use plans and zoning, and real estate sales and
values, as well as ma=ket responsiveness to changes.
Village of Southampton Planning/Impact Study,
Southampton, N.Y.
The firm prepared a planning study analyzing develop-
ment trends currently affecting the character of the
Village of Southampton in Long Island and suggested spe-
cific methods to shape future growth. The report focused
on topics of particular concern in Southampton, includ-
ing change in community character, loss of open space,
retail expansion, water quality, traffic, beach access, and
affordable housing.
Payton Lane Nursing Home and Rehabilitation
Center, Town of Southampton, N.Y.
Located on a site that lies partially within the Town and
partially within the Yillage of Southampton, this project
involves the construction of a 280-bed facility and a
senior day care cente,. The firm prepared an EIS in which
the principal issues Ere site design and visual character,
community facilities. traffic and transportation, geohy-
drology, and wastewEter treatment.
The firm prepared an EIS for a proposed 300-unit water-
front housing complex at Prince's Bay. The residential
development is planned to include condominium apart-
ments, a 100-slip marilla, and other recreational facilities.
The EIS includes aquatic and terrestrial ecology analysis,
a wetlands assessment, and analyses of water quality,
land use, transportation, and archaeological impacts. The
firm is also providing guidance to obtain dredging and
disposal permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and NYSDEC, and will review the project's eligibility for
flood insurance as administered by New York City. The
project's relationship to the city's Waterfront
Revitalization Program was also analyzed.
Queens West Waterfront Development,
Queens, N.Y.
The firm was retained by the Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey to prepare an EIS for a proposed large-
scale mixed-use development on the Hunters Point water-
front in Queens, N.Y. With more than 1-1/4 miles of
shorelines, major issues with this site were public access,
waterfront recreation, water quality, and coastal zone
management. Other EIS issues were land use, zoning, and
community character; social and economic conditions;
open space and recreational facilities; historic and

archaeological resources; visual quality; and traffic and
transportation.
East River Landing, New York, N.Y.
The firm provided environmental services and permit
acquisition support for this project, which would be
located on 23 acres of platform construction over the East
River, adjacent to the financial district of Lower
Manhattan. Located south of the South Street Seaport, the
project is envisioned as a major mixed-use development
to be constructed on pilings and a series of platforms.
Public amenities and improvements, such as the contin-
ued expansion of the East River esplanade, would also be
provided as part of the project.
The location and scale of the project necessitated a com-
prehensive environmental impact analysis, with special
emphasis on the relationship of the project to the South
Street Seaport Historic district (including an underwater
archaeological study); traffic, transportation, and air qual-
ity impacts; water quality and marine biology; and urban
design and planning policy. A range of environmental
permits, including federal dredge and fill (Section 404),
structures in navigable waterways (Section 10), state tidal
wetlands, water quality (Section 401). and consistency
with the city's Waterfront Revitalization Program would
be required.
Regatta Cove, Staten Island, N.Y.
The firm prepared an EIS for Regatta Cove, a major mixed-
use development consisting of approximately 300 resi-
dential condominium units and two 150-slip marinas,
located on the South Shore of Staten Island. The project
is situated in the New York State Coastal Zone
Management Area administered by the New York City
Waterfront Revitalization Program. The firm has been
involved in the initial environmental planning to help
minimize waterfront damage and to facilitate permit
approvals. These include a Section 10 permit from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a Title 15 permit from New
York State for disturbance of a streambed, and dredging
permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the
Department of Environmental Conservation. A notable
feature of the project is the creation of a tidal wetlands as
the focus of a primarily residential complex. Significant
issues addressed for the EIS include consistency with the
Waterfront Revitalization Program, change in neighbor-
hood character, site access through the area's limited
vehicular road network, and effect on wetlands and the
marine environment.
HarborPointe Redevelopment Project,
Bridgeport, Conn.
The firm was retained by the Bridgeport Redevelopment
Agency to provide technical services and manage the
preparation of an EIS for this major waterfront redevelop-
ment project in downtown Bridgeport. The project, which
is jointly sponsored by public and private interests, pro-
poses to redevelop an underutilized 135-acre parcel of
Long Island Sound waterfront area and represents the
most substantial development in the city's history. It
would include residential, office, retail, and industrial
buildings; and a l,OOO-slip marina. The full range of envi-
ronmental analyses were undertaken for this complex
project; land use and community resources (including
displacement and relocation), historical resources, eco-
nomic and fiscal conditions, traffic and transportation, air
quality. water resources, noise, infrastructure, and munic-
ipal services.
Town of Cortlandt, New York, Master Plan,
Cortlandt, N.Y.
In June 1991, Allee King Rosen & Fleming, Inc. complet-
ed a new Master Plan prepared for and in conjunction
with the Town of Cortlandt in Westchester County. The
first phase of the Master Plan project involved the prepa-
ration of a Goals and Objectives Statement that highlight-
ed the critical planning concerns identified by the Town.
Focusing on these identified areas of concern, a Base
Studies report was prepared that provided a community
profile, a services and infrastructure assessment, and an
environmental setting assessment. Policy recommenda-
tions were developed by analyzing issues identified in the
base studies in concert with the Town's goals and objec-
tives. The next phase was the preparation of a Draft
Master Plan. The plan included nearly 120 policy recom-
mendations, as well as open space, land use, and circula-
tion plans and a detailed strategy for implementation.
Final public review and the preparation of a Generic EIS
to satisfy SEQRA requirements were also completed. The
Town Board of the Town of Cortlandt approved the
Master Plan, with minor modifications, in January 1992.
Town of Cortlandt, Zoning Ordinance Revision
GElS, Cortlandt, N.Y.
The firm has been retained to prepare the GElS in support
of the new Town of Cortlandt Zoning Ordinance.
Implementation of a comprehensive revision to the ordi-
nance was a key component of the recently completed
Town Master Plan (also prepared by the firm). The GElS
will compare the proposed and existing ordinances and
highlight the changes and new features associated with

the revised ordinance. The GElS will examine the poten-
tial impacts on land use, community character, natural
resources, and cumulative and growth-inducing aspects
of the proposed zoning ordinance.
US Truck Body Plant, Jamaica Bay, N.Y.
With the assistance of NYCEDC, this project is a proposed
expansion of an industrial manufacturing complex on
two city-owned parcels adjacent to Barbados Basin on
Jamaica Bay in Rockaway, Queens. Of particular impor-
tance are an analysis of effects on breeding areas for birds
and other wildlife; the probable loss of a roost site for a
small number of black-crowned night herons, a colonial
water bird known to nest at two locations in Jamaica Bay;
the loss of upland foraging habitat; and impacts on adja-
cent tidal wetlands. Mitigation measures to lessen these
impacts were proposed. The project's effects on coastal
zone management, storm water runoff, land use and zon-
ing, community resources, visual quality, historic and
archaeological resources, social and economic conditions,
traffic and transportation, air quality, noise, infrastruc-
ture, and hazardous materials are also analyzed.

ROBERT M. W HlTE, AlCP, PP, is an environmemal planner experienced in waterfront planning,
environmental permitting, ecological studies, and zoning and master planning. In his more than 12
years of experience, he has been involved in projects throughout the New York metropolitan region,
specifically in the five boroughs of New York City, northern and central New Jersey, and eastern Long
Island.
Since joining Allee King Rosen & Fleming, Mr. White has served as a manager for the following major
projects :
· Culloden Point Subdivision, Town of East Hampton, NY. Mr. White led the preparation of
an environmemal impact statemem for this proposed 62-unit subdivision. With some 1.3 miles
of coastline (much of which is bluffs) along Fort Pond Bay and Block Island Sound, erosion
along the shoreline and potential impacts on the stability of the bluffs was a major issue. To
assess trends over time, U.S. coastal maps dating back to 1838 were reviewed, wave action
analyses were performed, photographic records before and after major coastal storms were
recorded, an evaluation of aerial photographs from 1955 and 1992 were undertaken, andhistorical
topographic maps of the site were compared. These analyses resulted in establishing appropriate
setbacks for structures from the bluffs and implementing vegetation preservation easements.
Other issues were the preservation of wetlands, potential impacts on archaeological features
(both historic and prehistoric), protection of historic resources, protection of vegetation and
rare and endangered species, preservation of views from the water and natural topographic
features, and traffic and transportation.
· Colgate-Palmolive Company-450-Slip Marina Design, Jersey City, NJ. The principal issue
raised with this project was how to design a marina that could attenuate waves from winds and
boat traffic at this exposed location while meeting the regulatory requirements of the State of
New Jersey. Wave studies showed that the largest impacts were occurring from boat traffic
associated with ferry travel to the Statue of Liberty. A system was ultimately developed that
adequately attenuated the wave wakes while meeting the state environmental regulatory standards.
Other issues were public access and compatibility with the waterfront promenade at the water's
edge, the presence of dilapidated underwater piers, riparian issues, the dredging and disposal
of 40,000 cubic yards of sediment, potential view impacts on the Statue of Liberty from a nearby
public park, and the availability of maritime support services as well as pump-out facilities and
amenities for transient boaters. Mr. White worked with the project designers and the state to
ensure that certain amenities were provided and design changes were made that led to the issuance
of a waterfront developmem permit for the project in September 1990.
· Colgate-Palmolive Army Corps of Engineers Permits, Jersey City, NJ. Mr. White led a project
team through the federal regulatory process to obtain permits for the Colgate-Palmolive interim
nse project. This interim project included a mooring field for 104 craft as well as a boathouse,
pier rehabilitation, repair and replacement of about 1,100 feet of bulkhead, a ferry, and the
in-water construction of a manifold to collect and abate combined overflow discharges to the
Hudson River. Issues addressed were the safety of mooring boats at this location, public access
to the redeveloped pier, and the ecological and water quality impacts of fIlling the river to
construct the proposed manifold. Under Mr. White's direction, an extensive alternatives analysis
was developed that disclosed no practicable alternative for the routing of the proposed manifold.
The analysis also revealed the manifold's impact on water quality would be beneficial, not
harmful. Working with the Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency,
the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the Fish and Wildlife Service, these issues were
resolved. Federal permits for the project (Sections 10 and 404) were issued in June 1994.

· East River Landing, New York, NY. Mr. White was the Assistant Project Manager in preparing
baseline studies for this waterfront project proposed for development on piers off lower Manhat-
tan. Environmental and planning data were gathered on water quality and ecology, public views
and access, maritime activity, and the adequacy of the waterfront infrastructure and bulkhead.
Before joining the firm, Mr. White's experience included:
· Senior environmental planner with the Monmouth County (N.J.) Planning Board. Mr. White
was specifically responsible for reviewing coastal development projects in the county. Many
of these projects displaced existing maritime facilities, while other provided marina slips but
no upland support facilities. Mr. White worked with the state in evaluating these changes and
trends over time, and the potential effect on the recreational boating indnstry. Other issues were
the potential for impacts on water quality and aquatic ecology, and the compatibility of projects
with local zoning and master planning, and the county's Growth Management Plan, which
contained specific policies related to coastal development and the preservation of the county's
maritime industry.
· Senior planner with the RBA Group, a planning and engineering firm based in Morristown,
N.J., and New York City. While with RBA, Mr. White's experience included site selection
and environmental and development feasibility services for the U.S. Postal Service's relocation
of 13 facilities throughout the New York and New Jersey area, and a relocation feasibility study
for a 150,OOO-square-foot carrier station currently located inmidtownManhattan; an environmen-
tal assessment and development feasibility study of a 14-acre trucking facility in North Bergen,
N.J., proposed for acquisition by New Jersey Transit Bus Operation, Inc.; an environmental
assessment for an office complex proposed for a 4OQ-acre undeveloped site in Readington Town-
ship, N.J.; the preparation of an E1S for a proposed widening of a 7-mile stretch of the Garden
State Parkway, concentrating on the socioeconomic, water, and coastal resources analyses; site
development feasibility studies for the Marriott Corporation's Courtyard Hotel projects proposed
for the New York metropolitan region; and street design improvement reports for the City of
New York, including 14th Street in Manhattan.
Other prior experience includes assistance in preparing the EIS for Newport City, a 300-acre mixed-use
waterfront development in Jersey City, N.J.; siting analyses for the disposal of resource recovery residu-
als; and flood damage assessments for the Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. White also assisted in the
preparation of two master planning studies and zoning recommendations for rural towns in western New
Jersey. In addition, he has participated in a variety of zoning compatibility and variance application
reviews and analyses.

+ Horizons Waterfront Action Plan
Erie County (Buffalo), New York
The work recognized here is a truly
comprehensive plan for the Lake Erie
shoreline that comprises the marching
orders for a significant intergovernmen-
tal body, the Horizons Waterfront Com-
mission, Ine.
This entity, a subsidiary of the New
York State Urban Development CoIJ'., is
itself a major accomplishment The com-
munities of Buffalo, Lackawanna, Tona-
wanda, Hamburg, Evans and Brant plus
Erie County and later Grand Island all
joined forces to form the corporation,
recognizing Horizons as the lead agency
in certain projects, the master planning
instrument, coordinator of private invest-
ment and as the vehicle for Federal and
other assistance. Horizons Waterfront
~1r

~~
Commission is governed by 16 voting
plus 18 non-voting members.
The master plan addresses the chal-
lenge of how best to convert the consid-
erable industrial acreage along the shores
of Lake Erie into new and different uses,
blending the myriad and sometimes con-
flicting aspirations of the different com-
munities and interest groups in the area.
An additional challenge for the five-firm
planning team was to develop year-
'round uses in an area with severe winters.
The team has developed an aelion
plan and implementation strategy as
well as establishing broad goals. Among
its sound planning principles are the
suggestions that waterfront "aeli,'ity
centers" be established for public enjoy-
Waterfront Plans
ment, that these centers be linked to each
other and their communities with a
greenway system of parkways and trails,
and that both the natural and built
environments be celebrated.

have gathered, and plan on being in Southold mid-week, March 13th to complete
the data gathering. I will call you a couple of days before I come. We have
been told that a meeting with DEC in late March has been arranged to discuss

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact
us.

ATTACHMENT 3: REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACT MAP PRODUCTS
GENERAL MAP PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The following general canographic requirements must be adhered to by the Contractor:
1) Map Products - The Division's preference is for the delivery of digital map products that meet the
specifications outl ined in the Digital Cartographic File Requirements section. If analog map products are
produced, they must meet specifications outlined in the Digital-Ready Map Product Requirements section.
The ability to provide digital map products will be one of the factors used in selecting a Contractor.
2) Deliverable Format - All digital map and attribute table files must be provided in Maplnfo 3.0 for
Windows format on 4 mm DA T tape or 3.5" floppy diskette media. Alternatively, the digital products
may be provided in UNIX or PC ARC/INFO binary format or AutoCAD DXF format on the same media
types upon approval of the Division. All other digital formats require prior approval of the Division.
All non-digital map products must be provided on stable base material at a scale agreed upon by the
Division. The map products must include an index map to all map sheets and thorough descriptions of
all the cartographic elements portrayed on the maps.
3) Documentation -- A data dictionary must be included along with the map files describing file contents.
file names. map projection, coordinate system, RMS accuracy, information sources, and creation
methodology.
4) Map Accuracy - Unless otherwise stated by the Division, all deliverable map products must conform
to National Map Accuracy Standards for horizontal accuracy as established by the United States
Geological Survey (USGS). For example, maps at 1:20,000 or smaller, not more than 10% of the weU-
defmed map points tested must be more than 1/50 inch (5 mm) out of correct position. At I :24,000, this
tolerance translates to a required horizontal accuracy of.4O feet.
DIGITAL CARTOGRAPHIC FILE REQUIREMENTS
The following canographic construction requirements must be adhered to by the Contractor:
1) Edge-matc:bing - All map sheets must be both visually and coordinate edge-matched with adjacent
map sheets. No edge-match toler8l1ce will be allowed. Attributes for splitable features must also be
identical.
2) Common Boundaries - All features that share a common boundary, regardless of map layer, must
have exactly the same coordinate position of that feature in all common layers.
3) Point Duplication - No duplication of points that occur within a data string is permitted.
4) Connectivity - Where graphic elements visually meet, they must be also digitally meet. All
confluences of line and polygon data must be exact; "overshoots", "undershoots". "slivers", or
"offshoots" are NOT permitted.

GCT-27-1994 16:10 FROM
.
TO
8-900~67651823
P.18
S) Line Quality - A high quality cartographic appearance must be achieved. Transitions from straight
lines to curvilinear elements must be smooth, with angular inflections at the point of intersection. The
digital representation must not contain extraneous data at a non visible level. There should be no jags,
hooks, or zero length segments. Any lines that are straight, or should be straight, should be digitized
using only two points that represent the beginning and ending points of the line.
6) Polygon Closure - For area features being digitized, the last coordinate pair must be exactly
(mathematically) equal to the first coordinate pair. No line or polygon must cross itself except to join
at an actual confluence. All digitized features across map boundaries must be edited to effect smooth and
continuous lines.
7) Graphic Precision - All digital graphic elements must contain positional coordinates significant to
one thousandth (.001) of a foot.
8) Digitizer Accuracy - The required RMS error for digitizer accuracy must be .003 or better for digital
map registration.
DIGITAL-READY MAP PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements for non~igital map products must be followed to facilitate the future
conversion of the maps to digital map products.
1) Base Map Media - All maps must be created on mylar or other stable base material.
2) Map Scale - All maps of a similar series should be created using the same base scale. Unless
otherwise stated by the Division, all maps should be compiled at 1:24,000. If other map scales are
approved by the Division, they will conform to standard map scales such as 1:9600; 1:50,000; 1 :75,000;
or 1 :100,000.
3) Map Repstration - The maps must provide a minimum of four (4) comer and four (4) interior ticks
tied to USGSINYSDOT quadrangle LatILong or NYTM coordinates. The maps must be geometrically
correct and should register when overlaid on the appropriate USGSINYSDOT quadrangle control ticks.
4) Map Projection and Datum - The maps must include the map projection and the map datum used.
S) Map Title and Legend - The maps must provide a title and legend block describing the information
contained on the maps.
6) Cartographic Quality - The quality of all map line work and symbolization must conform to items
I - 6 in the map criteria set forth in the Digital Cartographic File Requirements section outlined above.

Subiect: "Request for Proposal - Harbor Manaaement Plan"
Dear Members of the Town Board:
Thank you for inviting me to submit a proposal to develop a Harbor
Management Plan for the Town of Southold. I reviewed your "Request
for Proposals" very carefully and have significant interest in this
type of work. Currently I am serving as consultant for waterfront
and harbor management in several Connecticut communities and for
the Village of Catskill in New York state.
I discussed your RFP with Ocean and Coastal Consultants, Inc. of
Trumbull, Connecticut, a firm with extensive computer-aided mapping
capabilities. We have worked together on several successful harbor
management projects, and our initial thought was to submit a joint
proposal for preparing the Southold Harbor Management Plan. We
concluded, however, that we would not be able to suitably complete
the required scope of work within the desired time period. Our
experience leads us to believe that a 12-month schedule would
likely be needed to successfully complete work of this extent.
Otherwise, it may not be possible for the community to be
adequately involved in the formulation of the plan, including the
formulation of policies and reco~~endations to address at least
some issues that will prove difficult and contentious.
We must therefore respectfully decline to submit a proposal for
developing a harbor management plan for the Town of Southold. I
wish you success in your endeavor.
sincerely, ,

Re: Proposal for Consulting Services -- Preparation of a Harbor Management
Program
Dear Ms. Terry:
Cashin Associates, P.c. is pleased to submit the enclosed proposal (7 copies) for
preparing a Harbor Management Program for the Town of Southold. Our proposal is
based on the requirements of the Town as given in the Request for Proposal and as
discussed at the pre-submission conference on November 17, 1994.
CA has in-house capabilities in the range of environmental, planning, and support
resources required to complete the project within schedule. Our prior work on the
Town's waterfront revitalization program provides us with a substantial advantage for
performing this work.
The proposal includes a discussion of our technical work programs, qualifications,
project team, and fee proposal. Please note that we have also submitted an Insurance
Certificate stating the limits of our professional and general liability insurance and
naming the Town of Southold as the Certificate Holder. As Cashin Associates, P.c. is a
Professional Corporation in the State of New York, our performance is not covered
under bond guarantees, but by professional liability insurance. If required, clients can
be named as additional insureds under such policies.
Our program will provide for a coordinated effort with the Town, the New York State
Department of State, and associated participants to complete the Harbor Management
Plan within schedule and budgetary constraints.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal.
Very truly yours,
CASHIN ASSOCIATES, P.c.

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
.
Introductorv Statement
.
Cashin Associates, P.c. (CA) has prepared this proposal in response to the Town of
Southold's Request for Proposal (RFP) for consulting services to develop a Harbor
Management Plan for the Town. CA has reviewed the RFP and attended the pre-
submission conference held on November 17, 1994, and we are familiar with the
.
Town's objectives and requirements for the project. Section 2 of this proposal contains
our proposed work program for developing a Harbor Management Plan within the
budgetary and schedule constraints identified in the RFP. The development of this
.
work program is based on our existing knowledge of the Town's coastal zone and
management objectives acquired through our earlier work on the Town's Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), as well as our extensive coastal zone
.
management experience throughout the rl'gion.
Overview of Oualifications
.
CA's Environmental and Planning Division provides specialized services in coastal and
marine studies, including the preparation of coastal zone management plans, local
.
waterfront revitalization plans, harbor management plans and other coastal zone
studies. CA has in-house personnel with expertise in the full range of disciplines
required for these studies, including marine scientists, planners, environmental
scientists, geologists, coastal engineers, transportation planners, economists, and civil
.
engineers. CA's environmental scientists and planners have or are presently assisting

.
municipalities with development of Harbor Management Plans, including the Village
of Sag Harbor, Village of Port Jefferson, and the Town of Oyster Bay. They have also
assisted in the development of Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs (LWRP's) for
a number of major Long Island municipalities, including the Town of Southold. They
.
have completed numerous specific environmental, engineering, and planning studies
related to the coastal zone, erosion and marine resources.
.
As a part of CA's earlier work on Long Island, we have assisted various municipalities
in addressing complex coastal management issues relating to land use, flood protection,
erosion control, water quality protection and preservation of marine/coastal resources.
CA is well informed of the specific shoreline issues facing East End muni.cipalities, as
.
well as the great importance of the coast and its resources to the aesthetic,
recreational and commercial fabric of the community. Our harbor management work
for Oyster Bay, Port Jefferson and Sag harbor has involved analysis and resolution of
.
conflicting environmental and use issues which are also present in Southold.
Because of our prior work in harbor waterfront development plans, CA is familiar with
.
the sources of information and data required to develop effective management
programs. We are familiar with Southold's shoreline areas, its associated land use,
development and erosion issues, and the reports and studies available as background
.
data for this study. Our recent work on the Peconic Estuary Program has already
provided us with extensive biological and geological data for much of the Town's
harbor and shoreline areas.

SECTION 2 - PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM
.
Cashin Associates, P.e. (CA) will provide the required consulting services for the
preparation of the Town of South old Harbor Management Plan, which will include a
.
detailed management program for Mattituck Inlet. This plan will be prepared in
accordance with the New York State Department of State (NYSDOS) Guidelines for
the Preparation of Harbor Management Plans, as required in the Request For Proposal
(RFP) dated November 1, 1994. The following scope is based on our review of the
.
RFP, the NYSDOS guidelines, and the Town's draft Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program (LWRP). This proposal is also based on our familiarity with the required
work, which we have acquired through extensive prior work experience on
.
waterfront/coastal zone management and harbor management projects for numerous
other Long Island communities (including the preparation of the Town of Southold
draft LWRP).
.
Scope of Services
.
CA will provide technical support services to the Town of Southold to assist in the
preparation of a Harbor Management Plan (HMP) that examines the waterfront and
surface waters of the Town, and the activities occurring in these areas. This plan will
.
contain a detailed management program for Mattituck Inlet. The evaluation of
marinas component of this project, as outlined in Attachment 1 of the RFP, would be
undertaken by the Town Planning Department as in-kind service assistance, as
.
overseen by CA. In-kind service assistance from the Town and other designated
providers (such as Cornell Cooperative Extension) would also be utilized, where

required, in the collection of data for the inventory of resources for the Town-wide
.
and Mattituck Inlet portions of the HMP. The HMP will be prepared as a stand-alone
document that will supplement the Town's LWRP. This plan will place an emphasis
on critical waterside issues specified in the LWRP, particularly those outlined in
Policies 2, 4, 7, 9, 19, 21, and 34, among others. The basic tasks of the proposed
.
HMP are enumerated as follows.
A. Harbor Management Area Boundaries
.
CA, in conjunction with the Town Planning Department, will define the harbor
.
management area boundaries for the Town at-large and the Mattituck Inlet area.
The study area will encompass waterfront upland areas, Town-owned and State-
owned underwater lands, and surface waters extending to a distance of 1,500 feet
from the mean high water line. CA will also prepare a map illustrating the study
.
area, which will include delineation of the ten reaches (or sub-areas).
B. Inventory of Resources
.
CA will prepare an inventory of resources. This inventory will document all natural
and man-made features and resources found in each of the ten sub-areas that
.
comprise the harbor management study area, including waterfront and surface
water uses and activities. Data for the HMP inventory will be compiled using
existing studies (including the LWRP) and other information on file with the Town
and various regulatory agencies such as the New York State Department of
.
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) or Suffolk County Department of Health

use of aerial photography and, where necessary, field surveys, and through
interviews with government officials and other knowledgeable individuals.
.
Assistance in the collection of data for the inventory of resources will be provided,
where required, by the Town Planning Department and other designated providers
of in-kind services.
.
The inventory of resources will include:
land and surface water uses, noting the extent and types of waterfront
.
development (including water-dependent and associated upland uses),
surrounding land uses and municipal jurisdictions, zoning designations, types
and extent of vessel activity, underwater land ownership patterns, important
.
historic and cultural resources, and scenic resources;
harbor infrastructure, including the stormwater drainage system, upland
.
roadways, upland sanitary facilities, local and federal navigation channels,
Suffolk County and private dredging sites and dredge spoil disposal areas, docks
and bulkheads (outside of marina areas), docks and bulkheads (outside of

.
G. Analysis of Issues, Problems, and Opportunities
.
Based on a detailed analysis of the inventory of resources, CA will describe the
important issues, problems, and opportunities that pertain to the Town's harbor
management area. Emphasis will be placed on the delineation of issues and
.
opportunities for the Mattituck Inlet area. The following is a preliminary outline
of the potential issues and opportunities that would be addressed in the Town of
Southold HMP (amendments and additions to this listing may be indicated after the
.
inventory of resources has been finalized):
water quality degradation problems caused by stormwater runoff, failing septic
systems, vessel wastes, etc.;
.
the need to provide maintenance of faulty on-site cesspool and septic systems
in unsewered residential areas;
the need to increase the availability of vessel waste pump-out stations at private
marinas to serve transient, as well as seasonal, vessels;
.
the year-round and seasonal closure status of harbor management area waters
with respect to shellfish harvesting;
conflicts between commercial and recreational boating interests;
.
conflicts between upland, waterfront uses, including those that may arise from
inconsistencies in the zoning code or the need for rezoning of certain
properties;
conflicts between various surface waters uses, with regard to uses that require
a high level of water quality (Le. - shellfish harvesting and swimming) which
can be adversely impacted by certain other activities;
.
the need to protect existing water-dependent uses along the waterfront;
identification of areas where new water-dependent uses could be established
or where existing water-dependent uses could be revitalized (as a supplement
to the information contained in the lWRP);
.
the degree to which waterfront infrastructure requires upgrading;
the need for dredging of navigation channels in Town waters;
.
CASHIN ASSOCIATES, P.c.
PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM
SECTION 2
.
.
.
potential methods to more effectively allocate vessel mooring and berthing
space; and
.
the potential need to improve or expand public access to the shore and surface
water resources.
H. Harbor Management Goals and Objectives
.
.
Once the important issues, problems, and opportunities have been defined, CA will
prepare a discussion of the Town's overall goals and objectives for harbor
management. These goals and objectives will be designed to address the identified
issues and problems, and to take advantage of the identified opportunities in a
manner that can be reasonably achieved through LWRP policy development, new
.
or amended local laws, and/or capital improvement projects. For example, it is
anticipated that the following goals and objectives would apply (others would be
identified when the inventory and analysis have been completed):
.
improve surface water quality through the initiation of an on-going monitoring
program in all Town creeks and other water bodies, the expansion of the Goose
Creek adopt-a-creek program, increased public education efforts aimed at boat
owners, and the designation of Town waters as No-Discharge Zones;
.
designate additional areas in the coastal zone as Critical Environmental Areas;
develop mooring plans for Town creeks, and expand and coordinate mooring
activity in certain embayments;
.
investigate the feasibility of acquiring the 3.5-acre Marine Bay Club site in New
Suffolk (Sub-Area 8) and the Long Island Oyster Farm property (Sub-Area 5) to
promote the revitalization of these areas; and
renovation/revitalization of the former tank farm, former asphalt plant, and
adjoining vacant properties in the Mattituck Inlet area (Sub-Area 1) as less
intensive water-dependent uses.
.

.
I. Harbor Management Plan Map
.
CA will also prepare a Harbor Management Plan Map to illustrate the proposed
water uses within the harbor management area. This map will be prepared at a
.
scale sufficient to show the necessary information, such as the HMP boundaries,
harbor use zones and any designated special use areas, mooring areas, navigation
channels, sensitive habitat areas, designated shellfishing areas, upland waterfront
uses, shoreline structures, waterfront infrastructure, and proposed public
.
improvement projects.
J. Techniques for Implementation
.
In order to make the HMP Map a working plan for the Town, CA would formulate
appropriate techniques for implementation. These techniques include amendments
.
to existing laws, such as the zoning or wetlands laws, and/or the adoption of new
laws, such as a sediment and erosion control ordinance.
.
K. Procedural Actions
CA will also develop a discussion of procedural actions that are necessary to
.
implement the HMP and associated map. This will involve establishing specific
recommendations for the preparation of studies to address problems in specific
harbor areas and along the shorefront, and/or physical projects to construct or
improve shoreline structures or facilities.
.
.
CASHIN ASSOCIATES, P.c.
PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM
SECTION 2
.
.
.
.
As with the recommendations for the adoption or amendment of laws and
regulation, the recommendations for procedural actions would be based on the
findings of CA's examination of the inventory of resources and the analysis of the
.
issues, problems, and opportunities, as outlined above. This examination and
analysis will also lead to a determination of whether other State or Federal actions
will be necessary to implement the HMP.
.
CA will undertake the aforementioned actions in an effort to prepare a Harbor
Management Plan and associated HMP map, and a Harbor Management Program
for Mattituck Inlet, that are suitable supplements to the Town of Southold draft
.
LWRP, and which meet the specific requirements of the Secretary of State with
regard to the preparation of such documents. The HMP will provide sufficient
detail to enable the Town of Southold to undertake further actions that will be
.
necessary to implement the plan, including information required to draft new laws
and amendments to existing legislation.
.
L. Meetings
.
CA will attend two public meetings for the purpose of gathering public input and
presenting the draft plan to the public. It is anticipated that a number of informal
meetings with Town representatives will also be required during the course of CA's
work on the project to obtain information needed for the HMP. All such
information gathering meetings necessary to complete this plan are included in this
.
proposal. Meetings with the Town Waterfront Advisory Committee, outside
.
CASHIN ASSOCIATES, P.c.
PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM
SECTION 2
.
.
.
.
parties, and/or community groups will be handled by the Town and the information
generated at these meetings will be forwarded to CA.
M. Submissions and Schedule
.
By March 1, 1995, in accordance with the specifications of the RFP, CA will submit
a preliminary draft copy of the HMP (prepared using WordPerfect 5.1) for review
.
and comment by the Town and NYSDOS. Five preliminary draft copies of the
report would be provided to the Town for review. The Town and State shall each
provide one consolidated set of comments to CA for responsive action.
.
Based on the comments on the preliminary draft HMP received from the Town and
State, and during the public meeting held in March of 1995, CA will prepare a final
draft HMP. This final draft will include the comments generated from the review
.
of the preliminary draft report. The scheduled delivery of the final document will
be March 31, 1995, at which time five copies of the final draft HMP, the
associated HMP map, and a 3.5-inch floppy disk containing the report in
.
WordPerfect 5.1 format will be provided, to the Town, as set forth in the RFP.

ME$SAGE:
Here are two mlllmllg 1ists for erosion and harbor mRnllgement, as you can .
see there are many consultants poteutially <:ould do both.projects (or at
least should be sufficiently intereSted to receive both RFPs). Some of the
addresses are pn:tty old and some companies may not exist or have
changed their addresses - so do not be sUIprised if you get some returns.
I have not mllnllged to get a response from the coastal programs in
Connecti.cut, Rhode IsJand and Massachusetts - hopefully they will get .
back to me tomorrow with some consultants they have used. If so I will
pass these on.
I will be arranging for the completion of the gIlII1t contracts tomorrow.

PART II
TOWN OF SOUTIlOLD HARBOR MANAGEMENT PLAN
November 1, 1994
WORK SPECIFICATIONS
1. Description
Background:
The Town of Southold is requesting proposals from qualified consultants for the development of a Harbor
Management Plan for the Town of Southold. A harbor management plan addresses the problems of
conflict, congestion and competition for space in the use of harbors, surface waters and underwater lands.
The finished product will be used to complete the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
(LWRP).
The importance of harbor management has become clear in recent years, as the dramatic increase in the
popularity of recreational boating and changes in the use of harbors has resulted in competition for space
within and along the shores of the State's harbors and nearshore waters. Conflicts have increased
between recreational users of harbors and waters, between recreational and commercial activities and
between all uses and natural and cultural resources. These conflicts and a lack of clear authority to solve
them has resulted in degraded natural and cultural characteristics of many harbors, and their ability to
support a range of appropriate uses.
In order to resolve these issues, Chapter 79 I of the Laws of 1992 was enacted, amending Article 42 of
the Executive Law (Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act) to provide local governments
with the clear authority to comprehensively manage activities in harbor and nearshore areas by developing
comprehensive harbor management plans and laws to implement those plans. This is outlined in
amendments to 19 NYCRR Part 601 which contains procedures for the development and approval of
harbor management plans and have formed the basis for the development of this RFP.
The harbor management plan will be part of the Town's LWRP. The Town has been working on its
L WRP for a number of years and is now concentrating on its completion. The focus of the L WRP is
on protecting the coastal environment and enhancing recreational access to it. In order to complete an
approvable L WRP, the Town of Southold and the Department of State have identified the need develop
a town wide harbor management plan. The Town and the Department of State have also identified the
need to focus on two issues. These are a town wide marina study and a detailed examination of the
Mattituck Inlet.
In 1994 the New York State Department of State produced the Draft Long Island Sound Coastal
Management Program. This detailed study of the Sound resulted in the development of regional coastal
policies, refining the State policies to reflect the issues and conditions of the Long Island Sound region,
and the proposal of a series of Special Management Areas. The Regional Policies that consider harbor
management issues will be applied in the preparation of the harbor management plan for the Town of
Southold. The Regional Program identified that Mattituck Inlet be designated a Maritime Center. These
have been identified as the most suitable locations for new or expansion of existing water-dependent
commercial and industrial uses on the Sound. The Department of State further recommended the
development of harbor management plans for the proposed Maritime Centers.
Mattituck Inlet is Southold's only active harbor on Long Island Sound. It is the easternmost soundfront
deepwater port of call on Long Island that is open to commercial fishing boats and transient recreational
.
.
boaters. The Inlet has been the focus of the Town's attention since 1980, when the Mattituck Inlet
Advisory Committee was appointed to focus on concerns about the declining ecological health of the Inlet.
Their inventory and analysis work, contained in the Watershed Study of Mattituck Creek, led to specific
recommendations that were never adopted by the Town.
Task:
Develop a Harbor Management Plan for the Town of Southold to provide a comprehensive examination
of all surface waters within or adjacent to the Town of Southold and identify and address the problems
of conflict, congestion, and competition for space in the use of harbors, surface waters and underwater
lands. It will examine both town wide and geographically specific issues and provide recommendations
for harbor management opportunities. These will provide guidance in managing boat traffic, general
harbor uses, optimum location and number of boat support structures such as docks, piers, moorings,
pump-out facilities, and special anchorage areas, and identification of local and federal navigation
channels. Examine existing harbor management regulations at the federal, State and local levels and
present town wide and geographic specific harbor management recommendations.
The Harbor Management Plan will identify discrete harbor management units located within the Town
and provide various alternatives for optimum waterfront and harbor use, while at the same time analyzing
probable environmental effects of these alternatives. The Harbor Management Plan will highlight two
main issues for immediate attention:
an inventory and analysis of marinas in the Town of Southold
the preparation of a detailed unit Harbor Management Plan for Mattituck Inlet
Organization:
The preparation of the Harbor Management Plan will be developed by a consultant under the guidance
of a subcommittee of the Town's Waterfront Advisory Committee and coordinated by the Town's
Planning Department. Technical assistance will be available from the New York State Department of
State.
Project cost:
A maximum of $25,000 is available for this project through the New York State Environmental
Protection Fund.
2. Study Area
The study area is the marine waters within the Town of Southold or abounding the Town of Southold to
a distance of fifteen hundred feet from the shore, whichever is greater. This includes in-water areas
adjacent to open shorelines as well as actively used enclosed bays or harbors and associated uplands. The
study area has been split into 10 shoreline reaches, developed by the Town of Southold as part of their
Draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. There are 4 reaches along the Long Island Sound, 5
reaches along the bays, and the shoreline of Fishers Island. Emphasis will be placed on harbor
management issues within Mattituck Inlet, located within Reach I.

ATI'ACHMENT 1: EVALUATION OF MARINAS
An inventory and analysis of marinas located in the Town of Southold. The study will help to determine
the appropriateness of the existing uses, and the need to expand or increase the number of marina
facilities, assuring that an adequate portion of the waterfront is reserved for water-dependent uses.
Marinas are defined as those facilities adjacent to water providing safe and secure mooring, berthing, or
storage for boats including the functions of marinas and related ancillary structures; e.g. docks, piers,
boat launching ramps, anchorages, breakwaters, channels, moorings, basins, repair service, fuel sales,
rentals, and parking areas. Yacht clubs and private boat basins within subdivision developments on
private and patent lands will also be considered, along with marinas, for the purposes of this study.
The analysis of existing conditions should consider the following factors:
A. LOCATION AND LAND USE
Location on the shoreline - is it at the head or mouth of a creek or inlet or on a bay? is
it appropriate to increase boat traffic and activity in this location?
roning - does the site/use fit the current zoning requirements? are the roning
requirements reasonable and adequate or are they in need of amendments?
surrounding land uses - what land uses surround the site? what are the permitted land
uses? do all existing land uses support the intent of the marine zoning districts?
compatibility - is the marina compatible with the existing zoning and character of the
area, with consideration being given to scale, architectural style, density and intensity of
use?
traditional uses - what is the development history of the marina? have water-dependent
and water-enhanced uses been commonplace, since the opening of the facility?
water supply and wastewater disposal - what are the sources of water supply, how is
wastewater handled and how is it disposed of?
marina services - what is the level of services offered at the marina (e.g. boat repair and
maintenance, boat storage, boat launch and haul out, vessel winterization, boat sales,
motor sales, fuel, pumpout facilities, sail making and repair, and bait shop)? are water-
enhanced uses (e.g. restaurants and retail stores) associated with the marina? what are
the projected demands?
types of boats - what is the pattern of boat usage (e.g. recreational, transient, commercial
fishing, charter/party boats)?
overnight accommodations - are accommodations provided for boaters wishing to stay on
their boats overnight?
vehicular access to and within the site - is it adequate? is it compatible with the
connecting roads/highways? what are the existing and potential trip generators?
the Town Trustees operate as a "marina" owner through their regulation of moorings on
Town-owned bottom - how do the Trustees operate this function? where are moorings
permitted? what is the access to moorings? what are the size of boats? what are the
types of moorings? could procedures be improved?
B. SITE LAYOUT
existing layout - what is the layout and design of permanent and temporary uses on the
site? are additional parcels leased or used by the marina?
expansion potential - is there additional land area available for facility expansion? does
the current zoning enable appropriate expansion? how practical or appropriate would it
be for the marina to expand?
7
.
.
parking - what is the number of dedicated parking spaces? is there a further breakdown,
with regard to the # of spaces associated with a specific use? is the ratio of spaces
sufficient to meet the demand of the facility? are transportation alternatives available
which would effectively reduce the demand for additional parking? is off-site parking
a viable option?
boat storage - what types of boat storage are available (e.g. in-water, upland storage, dry
rack)?
boat maintenance areas - are they present? are they designed in such a way that all
maintenance activities can be accomplished over dry land and under roofs? are water
quality mitigation measures employed?
shoreline protection structures - approximately how much of the marina's shoreline has
been bulkheaded? what material is used?
C. DOCKS AND STRUCTURES IN WATER
navigability/dredging - is navigation, adjacent to and within the confines of the marina,
easily achieved? do the present locations of docks or moorings pose a problem to
navigability? where, and how often, is dredging performed? is the dredging performed
by private contractors, at private expense, by the federal government, or by the County?
is there a federal navigation channel?
fixed vs. floating docks - what is the total number of fixed docks and floating docks,
respectively, in the marina? what is the total number of dockside slips rented?
length and configuration - what is the length and width of the docks in the marina? what
is the general configuration? is there expansion potential?
moorings - does the marina lease mooring sites? if so, where are commercial moorings
located? what is the total number of moorings operated by the marina? are moorings
adequate to meet current and future demands?
underwater lands - who owns the underwater lands within the marina? does the Town
have jurisdiction? if not, which entity has jurisdiction?
D. ECOLOGY
water quality - what are the water quality classifications? where are the stormwater
discharge points located, if there are any present? is there a noticeable and concerted
effort, to the extent feasible, to direct runoff away from adjacent waters and wetlands by
site grading or other methods? what marina best management measures are employed?
shellfish beds - have shellfish harvest closures occurred as a result of the proximity of
the marina to the shellfish bed? has expansion of marina based activities, in the past,
resulted in the closure of the bed(s)?
habitats - are there habitats or other natural areas in the vicinity which could be impacted
by marina activity?
E. CULTURAL RESOURCES
historic and archaeological resources - are there structures or sites of either historical or
archaeological significance in the vicinity of the marina?
visual access - from land: how visible is the water from any public point either upland
or adjacent to the marina? if the public's view is impaired or blocked, what is the nature
of the visual impediment? from water: what is the view of the shoreline from the water?
public access - is there a provision for public access on the site? if so, where? are there
public lands adjacent to the facility?

ATIACHMENT 2: MATIITUCK INLET
Mattituck Inlet is located in the hamlet of Mattituck on the north shore of Long Island, in the Town of
Southold, and is the only harbor on the north shore to the east of Mount Sinai Harbor. The tidal inlet
is extremely narrow and approximately two miles long. The widest parts of the inlet, which are only a
few hundred feet wide, are in the southern half. The inlet supports substantial vegetated tidal wetlands,
shell fisheries, and a state-designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat. It also contains a
number of commercial and recreational water-dependent uses which are concentrated in three locations:
at the inlet's extreme southern end; at its midpoint; and on the west shore near the northernmost end of
the inlet.
Residential development surrounds most of the inlet. Water-dependent uses include five marinas,
commercial fishing, party and charter boats, and a transient anchorage area and two boat ramps in the
extreme south end of the inlet. Most of the water-dependent uses are concentrated on the west side of
the inlet. Agriculture is a major land use within the inlet's watershed.
Approximately 21 acres of vacant, underutilized land, wned Marine-II (M-I1), is available for new
commercial development or redevelopment on the northwest side of the inlet. This is a former industrial
area which consisted of petroleum and asphalt tank farms. This area could accommodate new marinas
and other recreational or commercial water-dependent uses, or a mix of uses. Sufficient space exists for
upland dry rack storage of vessels and limited in-water facilities, boat ramps, and associated parking
areas.
WATER DEPENDENT USES
Commercial Fishing and Shellfishing
Facilities in the inlet support approximately 20 to 25 commercial fishing vessels. Most of these boats
make daily runs, although several make extended trips. There are excellent docking facilities for
commercial fishing vessels, with over 250 feet of bulkheaded dock space. One facility has a hydraulic
crane for loading and unloading and, unlike most ports on the Sound, provides some gear storage space.
No ice is available, and fuel facilities are deficient, requiring fuel to be brought to commercial vessels.
Mechanical and engine repairs for commercial vessels are lacking, but is provided by on1:all mechanics.
Unlike other ports on the Sound, Mattituck is used by transient commercial vessels from Shinnecock Inlet
during the summer. Although the inlet is relatively small, it is also an extremely productive shellfish
growing and commercial harvesting area, producing hard clams, soft clams, and oysters of local and
regional importance.
Recreation
The inlet is the only harbor on the north shore east of Mount Sinai Harbor and provides long-term and
transient recreational vessel anchoring, slips, and services. Five marinas in the inlet provide dockage for
approximately 600 recreational vessels, and approximately 150 recreational vessels are moored throughout
the inlet. The greatest single concentration of moored transient vessels (approximately 25) are located
in the federally dredged anchorage area at the extreme southern end of the inlet. Two boat ramps, one
owned and operated by the Mattituck Park District for district residents and the other owned by the town
and for town residents, are at the south end of the inlet. A 1.3 acre parcel at the extreme northwest
corner of the inlet south of the west jetty, recently acquired by the Town of Southold in 1993 using
Environmental Quality Bond Act funds, is an appropriate and suitable site for a public boat ramp due to
its proximity to the Sound. Two parks and beaches, which are part of the Mattituck Park District, front
9
.
.
Long Island Sound on both the east and west side of the inlet and are limited to use by park district
residents. The park and beach on the west side abuts the inlet's west jetty at the inlet's entrance. The
east park and beach abuts the inlet's east jetty and the Mattituck Inlet Wetlands Significant Coastal Fish
and Wildlife Habitat located south of the beach. The inlet also supports some recreational shellfishing.
The state-owned wetlands and the park abutting them on the east shore provide opportunities for passive
recreation such as nature study and observation.
NATURAL RESOURCES
Wetlands and Habitat
Vegetated tidal wetlands exist throughout the inlet. The most extensive undisturbed vegetated wetlands
are part of the approximately 60 acre state-designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat, which
includes most of the open water of the inlet and its wetlands north of Mill Road. Most of the vegetated
wetlands in the designated habitat are owned by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The remainder of the underwater lands and tidal wetlands are owned by the Town of Southold. Wetlands
are highly productive and support a variety of fish and wildlife within the inlet and in Long Island Sound
near the inlet, including a substantial soft clam and oyster shellfishery, which is dependent on high water
quality and undisturbed wetlands.
Water Quality
The water quality classification in the inlet is SA, and its highest assigned use standard is shellfishing.
The inlet fails to meet the class SA water quality and use standards during the summer. Conditional
shell fishing is allowed, however, in the winter except following a 0.2" rainfall within a 24 hour period,
when coliform loadings exceed acceptable levels. Agricultural and urban nonpoint runoff within the
inlet's narrow drainage basin are the primary sources of water quality and shellfish harvesting use
impairments. Roadway drainage pipe discharges to the creek have been identified by the town as a
source of nonpoint pollution. Water quality and use impairments are also related to large numbers of
vessels in marinas and the public anchorage at the south end of the inlet.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND PROBLEMS
The issues and problems confronting Mattituck Inlet as a maritime center are summarized below and
illustrated on map 20.0
Problems within the inlet and its immediate area include: limited public access to the inlet and its
resources for water-dependent recreation, navigation, and shell fishing; use conflicts within the inlet;
insufficient infrastructure; and substandard groundwater and surface water quality. Issues include: the
need to protect and prevent the displacement of water-dependent uses within the inlet; to redevelop
approximately 21 acres of vacant and underutilized waterfront land at the north end of the inlet; to
improve surface water quality for shellfishing; and to maintain high value natural resources within the
inlet.
Commercial Water-Dependent Uses
Although the existing water-dependent uses are consistent with their current M-II zoning category, the
M-II district also allows non-water-dependent uses which could displace the important water-dependent
uses. The displacement of docking facilities for the commercial fishing fleet would be disastrous, since
the existing facilities are the only ones available in this part of the Long Island Sound region, and their
loss would adversely affect the commercial fishing industry on Long Island. There is also a need to
10
.
.
maintain the existing marinas in the inlet to meet the demand for recreational vessel storage and servicing.
There is an opportunity to facilitate the location of new water-dependent recreational facilities or a mix
of water-dependent and water-enhanced uses within the existing 21-acre underutilized area at the north
end of the inlet. This area is most appropriate for new water-dependent uses, such as marinas, boat
yards, and boat ramps, due to its proximity to the Sound, its previously disturbed and leveled terrain, and
few natural resource constraints both on and immediately off-site. This is also one of the only areas in
the inlet large enough to provide sufficient buffer area between water-dependent uses and residences.
Petroleum tanks have been removed; however, some remaining tanks may still contain asphalt. It is not
known if the area is contaminated or in need of remediation prior to redevelopment. If these areas are
redeveloped for commercial or recreational water-dependent uses, such as marinas or boat yards,
remediation may not be necessary.
Navigation and Access to Underwater Lands and the Foreshore
New in-water structures, such as docks and bulkheads, have become prevalent throughout much of the
inlet. These structures impede access along the foreshore and to underwater lands for shell fishing and
other uses, and impede navigation in narrow, shallow areas. New in-water structures which adversely
affect access and navigation need to be limited to the minimum necessary in order for property owners
to exercise their littoral rights of access to the water, in order to prevent impairments to navigation and
public access along the shore. Structures that cover large areas of underwater lands should be limited
to areas adjacent to upland areas zoned for water-dependent uses, and should be limited in length so as
not to interfere with navigation channels and navigation buffer areas. The anchorage at the south end of
the inlet does not provide moorings for transient vessels. These vessels must use conventional anchors
with greater scope than moorings. As a result, the vessels swing in large arcs and use valuable space in
the basin. Vessels often anchor outside of the basin due to a lack of space. Permanent or semi-
permanent moorings and tackle for transients, which are safer than conventional anchors and use a shorter
scope, would result in better use of space in the basin. A greater concentration of vessels could be
moored in the anchorage rather than spread out elsewhere in the inlet.
Infrastructure Constraints
Major new development and major expansions of existing development are constrained throughout the
inlet due to the lack of a readily available potable water supply, insufficient roadway infrastructure and
parking space for major expansions of existing commercial uses, and insufficient surface water area
between the established navigation channel and commercial upland uses. The shallow groundwater table,
which has been the area's source of potable water, has been polluted from agricultural pesticides. It is
not economically feasible to extend new public water supply lines to the area. Narrow, winding
residential streets surround the entire inlet, except at its extreme south end, where a major county road
is within a few hundred feet of the Mattituck Park District and town boat ramps. Limited parking is
available at the south end of the inlet at the boat ramps, the park and beach at the entrance to the inlet
on its west side, and at the park and beach at the entrance to the inlet on its west side (all for district
residents only). Little space is available for new in-water structures or uses, since the inlet is so narrow
and the existing navigation channel occupies much of the inlet.
Erosion and Inlet and Beach Maintenance
At the entrance to the inlet, beach erosion and shoaling is a problem that needs to be resolved. Shoaling
of the inlet is a hazard for large commercial and recreational vessels, and the two jetties along each side
of the inlet's entrance prevent the downdrift movement of beach material, resulting in downdrift erosion
of the beach on the east side of the inlet. Sand bypassing of the inlet would reduce inlet shoaling and
restore the sand budget to downdrift beaches.
II
.
.
Water Quality and ShellrlShing
Substandard water quality resulting from nonpoint source pollution precludes the inlet's assigned use for
shell fishing during most of the year, except during cold and dry periods during the winter when there is
very little runoff entering the inlet. While water quality frequently fails to meet the inlet's assigned SA
water quality standards, it may be possible to improve water quality, retain the SA classification, and
reopen areas within the inlet for shellfishing. This will require adequate control and treatment of
stormwater and agricultural runoff using nonstructural as well as structural management practices prior
to its entry into the inlet. If these improvements are effective, the standard for closures might be
amended to relax the 0.2" rainfall standard to allow shellfishing more often. In addition, use conflicts
between shell fishing and concentrations of vessels in marinas and mooring areas need to be minimized
in order to reopen portions of the inlet to shellfishing. Some of the potential risks of vessel waste
pollution may be reduced by providing sufficient pumpout or dump stations for vessel wastes and
designating the inlet a vessel waste no-discharge zone, but the potential for pollution from concentrations
of vessels would still exist. In order to effectively resolve these use conflicts, concentrations of vessels
will have to be limited to specific areas and prohibited in areas that are most important for shellfish
harvesting.
SUMMARY OF OVERALL OBJECTIVES
I. Protect and maintain existing water-dependent uses in their present locations and improve
conditions, so that they can operate cleanly and more efficiently, and allow these uses to expand
within well-defined limits.
2. Facilitate the siting of new water-dependent uses on former industrial sites at the north end of the
inlet, such as at least one public boat ramp and parking area, marinas and/or boat yards with dry
rack storage. Any in-water facilities would be limited in size to prevent intrusions into the main
navigation channel of the inlet.
3. Provide necessary infrastructure improvements (roads, parking, water supply, inlet and channel
maintenancelbypassing, water quality improvements) to sustain existing and new development.
4. Maintain high natural resource and habitat values throughout the inlet.
5. Improve water quality for shellfishing and high value habitats by remediating water quality
impairments resulting from agricultural and stormwater runoff and vessel waste discharges.
6. Prevent use conflicts between shell fishing in highly productive shellfishing areas and
congregations of commercial and recreational vessels in the southernmost anchorage basin, at
marinas, and at other facilities and areas within the inlet.
7. Protect, maintain, and improve public access to underwater lands and the foreshore for
shell fishing, fishing, recreational boating, and passive recreation.
ACTIONS NEEDED
Develop a harbor management plan as a component of the town's Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program that achieves the preceding objectives and includes priority actions, such as the following
projects and procedural recommendations:
12
.
.
PROJECTS
1. Commercial Fishing - Provide ice, fuel, and mechanical repair facilities and services for
commercial fishing vessels. (Objectives 1,2)
2. Recreation - Provide permanent or semi-permanent mooring tackle at the public anchorage at the
south end of the inlet for more efficient use of space by transient vessels, and prohibit
concentrations of anchored or moored vessels in productive shellfishing areas. User fees for
moorings would pay for upkeep and maintenance of mooring tackle, etc. This would reduce
vessel versus shell fishing conflicts by providing for a greater concentration of vessels in the
anchorage rather than productive shellfishing areas, and preventing conflicts in important
shellfishing areas. Provide a public park and a boat ramp with associated parking lots on the 1.3
acre state-owned parcel on northwest side of inlet. Maintain the inlet channel and anchorage
basin at adequate depths and use clean dredge spoil for downdrift beach nourishment. (Objectives
1,2,3,5,6,7)
3. Water Quality - Install detention or retention basins, provide street end improvements to control
and treat runoff, retrofit direct pipe discharges from roadways to treat runoff before discharge
to the inlet, and maintain or create adequate buffers along watercourses tributary to the inlet.
Direct runoff to buffer areas for treatment prior to discharge in the inlet. Use federal Clean
Vessel Act funds to provide sufficient vessel waste pumpout and dump stations for all vessels
using the inlet. (Objectives 1,3,4,5,6,7)
4. Shellfish - Improve water quality by managing, controlling, and treating agricultural and urban
nonpoint runoff. Construct detention or retention basins, create buffers, and improve street ends
to prevent direct discharges to the inlet. Limit vessel mooring in productive harvesting areas and
increase public anchorage capacity to relocate vessels from harvest areas. Establish shellfish
spawner areas (especially for oysters). Transplant shellfish from anchorage area, marinas, and
channels to spawner areas and other areas for harvesting. Increase access for shellfishing during
winter months by providing public boat ramp at north end of inlet. (Objectives 1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
5. Access - Provide a public boat launch near the mouth of the inlet (see recreation above). Limit
new bulkheads along the shoreline which result in loss of intertidal areas used for access along
inlet's shoreline. Limit the length of new docks to the minimum necessary to prevent
impairments to navigation in channels and access to underwater lands for shellfishing. Provide
pedestrian access to the inlet from street ends as part of street end improvements designed to
control and/or treat roadway runoff. Maintain the inlet channel and anchorage basin. (Objectives
1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
6. Marinas - Maintain the inlet channel and anchorage basin at adequate depths. (Objectives
1,2,3,6,7)
PROCEDURAL
1. Regulatory Simplification - Simplify the state and local regulatory process for public and private
actions that are consistent with the harbor management plan. (Objectives 1,2,3)
2. Water-Dependent Uses - Maintain the M-II districts in their current locations to ensure that water-
13
.
.
enhanced uses can not displace water-dependent uses, and amend the M-II zoning text to eliminate
non-water-dependent uses. Consider a specific provision for protecting commercial fishing
facilities from displacement. (Objectives 1,4,6)
3. In-Water Structures - Establish seaward perimeter boundaries for new and eXlstmg water-
dependent uses within M-II zoning districts. There is a need to limit the seaward extension of
in-water structures given the narrow nature of the inlet. Within these perimeters, allow
modifications to docks, piers, floats, pilings, etc., without requiring new regulatory permits for
every minor modification, although changes should be reported to the town and state. Allow
these in-water uses despite the SA water quality classification. Where commercial uses exist,
reclassify surface waters to SB within the area occupied by these uses and within a limited and
well-defined adjacent area, where shellfishing does not occur or where the area is not a
productive shellfishery. (Objectives 1,2,4,6,7)
4. Tax Assessments - Assess existing water-dependent uses for their value as water-dependent uses,
rather than assessing them as non-water-dependent uses, since non-water-dependent uses would
be prohibited by the amended M-II roning. (Objectives 1,2)
5. Water Quality - After sufficient vessel waste pumpout and dump stations are available (most
conservative standard would be one facility for each 300 vessels), designate the inlet a federal
and state vessel waste no-discharge rone, and delegate federal enforcement authority to the state
and town pursuant to Section 312 of the Clean Water Act. (Objectives 3,4,5,6,7)
6. Harbor Improvement District - Establish a harbor improvement district, pursuant to Section 190
of the New York State Town Law, to provide a funding mechanism for public projects and
physical improvements in the inlet, such as water quality improvement projects, studies,
construction and maintenance oflaunching ramps, public docks, anchorage areas, bulkheads, land
acquisition, public docking facilities, dredging, etc. (Objectives 1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

ATIACHMENT 3: REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACT MAP PRODUCTS
GENERAL MAP PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The following general cartographic requirements must be adhered to by the Contractor:
1) Map Products -- The Division's preference is for the delivery of digital map products that meet the
specifications outlined in the Digital Cartographic File Requirements section. If analog map products are
produced, they must meet specifications outlined in the Digital-Ready Map Product Requirements section.
The ability to provide digital map products will be one of the factors used in selecting a Contractor.
2) Deliverable Format -- All digital map and attribute table files must be provided in Maplnfo 3.0 for
Windows format on 4 mm DAT tape or 3.5" floppy diskette media. Alternatively, the digital products
may be provided in UNIX or PC ARC/INFO binary format or AutoCAD DXF format on the same media
types upon approval of the Division. All other digital formats require prior approval of the Division.
All non-digital map products must be provided on stable base material at a scale agreed upon by the
Division. The map products must include an index map to all map sheets and thorough descriptions of
all the cartographic elements portrayed on the maps.
3) Documentation -- A data dictionary must be included along with the map files describing file contents,
file names, map projection, coordinate system, RMS accuracy, information sources, and creation
methodology .
4) Map Accuracy -- Unless otherwise stated by the Division, all deliverable map products must conform
to National Map Accuracy Standards for horiwntal accuracy as established by the United States
Geological Survey (USGS). For example, maps at 1:20,000 or smaller, not more than 10% of the well-
defined map points tested must be more than 1150 inch (5 mm) out of correct position. At I :24,000, this
tolerance translates to a required horizontal accuracy of 40 feet.
DIGITAL CARTOGRAPIllC FILE REQUIREMENTS
The following cartographic construction requirements must be adhered to by the Contractor:
1) Edge-matching -- All map sheets must be both visually and coordinate edge-matched with adjacent
map sheets. No edge-match tolerance will be allowed. Attributes for splitable features must also be
identical.
2) Common Boundaries -- All features that share a common boundary, regardless of map layer, must
have exactly the same coordinate position of that feature in all common layers.
3) Point Duplication -- No duplication of points that occur within a data string is permitted.
4) Connectivity -- Where graphic elements visually meet, they must be also digitally meet. All
confluences of line and polygon data must be exact; "overshoots", "undershoots", "slivers", or
"offshoots" are NOT permitted.
16
.
.
S) Line Quality -- A high quality cartographic appearance must be achieved. Transitions from straight
lines to curvilinear elements must be smooth, with angular inflections at the point of intersection. The
digital representation must not contain extraneous data at a non visible level. There should be no jags,
hooks, or zero length segments. Any lines that are straight, or should be straight, should be digitized
using only two points that represent the beginning and ending points of the line.
6) Polygon Closure -- For area features being digitized, the last coordinate pair must be exactly
(mathematically) equal to the first coordinate pair. No line or polygon must cross itself except to join
at an actual confluence. All digitized features across map boundaries must be edited to effect smooth and
continuous lines.
7) Graphic Precision -- All digital graphic elements must contain positional coordinates significant to
one thousandth (.001) of a foot.
8) Digitizer Accuracy -- The required RMS error for digitizer accuracy must be .003 or better for digital
map registration.
DIGITAL-READY MAP PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements for non-digital map products must be followed to facilitate the future
conversion of the maps to digital map products.
1) Base Map Media -- All maps must be created on mylar or other stable base material.
2) Map Scale -- All maps of a similar series should be created using the same base scale. Unless
otherwise stated by the Division, all maps should be compiled at I :24,000. If other map scales are
approved by the Division, they will conform to standard map scales such as I :9600; I :50,000; 1:75,000;
or I: 100,000.
3) Map Registration -- The maps must provide a minimum of four (4) corner and four (4) interior ticks
tied to USGSfNYSDOT quadrangle Lat/Long or NYTM coordinates. The maps must be geometrically
correct and should register when overlaid on the appropriate USGS/NYSDOT quadrangle control ticks.
4) Map Projection and Datum -- The maps must include the map projection and the map datum used.
5) Map Title and Legend -- The maps must provide a title and legend block describing the information
contained on the maps.
6) Cartographic Quality -- The quality of all map line work and symbolization must conform to items
I - 6 in the map criteria set forth in the Digital Cartographic File Requirements section outlined above.

PART II
TOWN OF SOUTHOLl> HARBOR MANAGEMENT PLAN
November 1, 1994
WORK SPECIFlCATlONS
1. Description
Background:
The Town of Southold is requesting proposals from qualified consultants for the development of a Harbor
Management Plan for the Town of Southold. A harbor management plan addresses the problems of
conflict, congestion and competition for space in the use of harbors, surface waters and underwater lands.
The finished product will be used to complete the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
(LWRP).
The importance of harbor management has become clear in recent years, as the dramatic increase in the
popularity of recreational boating and changes in the use of harbors has resulted in competition for space
within and along the shores of the State's harbors and nearshore waters. Conflicts have increased
between recreational users of harbors and waters, between recreational and commercial activities and
between all uses and natural and cultural resources. These conflicts and a lack of clear authority to solve
them has resulted in degraded natural and cultural characteristics of many harbors, and their ability to
support a range of appropriate uses.
In order to resolve these issues, Chapter 791 of the Laws of 1992 was enacted, amending Article 42 of
the Executive Law (Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act) to provide local governments
with the clear authority to comprehensively manage activities in harbor and nearshore areas by developing
comprehensive harbor management plans and laws to implement those plans. This is outlined in
amendments to 19 NYCRR Part 601 which contains procedures for the development and approval of
harbor management plans and have formed the basis for the development of this RFP. .
The harbor management plan will be part of the Town's LWRP. The Town has been working on its
LWRP for a number of years and is now concentrating on its completion. The focus of the LWRP is
on protecting the coastal environment and enhancing recreational access to it. In order to complete an
approvable L WRP, the Town of Southold and the Department of State have identified the need develop
a town wide harbor management plan. The Town and the Department of State have also identified the
need to focus on two issues. These are a town wide marina study and a detailed examination of the
Mattituck Inlet.
In 1994 the New York State Department of State produced the Draft Long Island Sound Coastal
Management Program. This detailed study of the Sound resulted in the development of regional coastal
policies, refining the State policies to reflect the issues and conditions of the Long Island Sound region,
and the proposal of a series of Special Management Areas. The Regional Policies that consider harbor
management issues will be applied in the preparation of the harbor management plan for the Town of
Southold. The Regional Program identified that Mattituck Inlet be designated a Maritime Center. These
have been identified as the most suitable locations for new or expansion of existing water-dependent
commercial and industrial uses on the Sound. The Department of State further recommended the
development of harbor management plans for the proposed Maritime Centers.
Mattituck Inlet is Southold's only active harbor on Long Island Sound. It is the easternmost soundfront
deepwater port of call on Long Island that is open to commercial fishing boats and transient recreational
boaters. The Inlet has been the focus of the Town's attention since 1980, when the Mattituck Inlet
Advisory Committee was appointed to focus on concerns about the declining ecological health of the Inlet.
Their inventory and analysis work, contained in the Watershed Study of Mattituck Creek, led to specific
recommendations that were never adopted by the Town.
Task:
Develop a Harbor Management Plan for the Town of Southold to provide a comprehensive examination
of all surface waters within or adjacent to the Town of Southold and identify and address the problems
of conflict, congestion, and competition for space in the use of harbors, surface waters and underwater
lands. It will examine both town wide and geographically specific issues and provide recommendations
for harbor management opportunities. These will provide guidance in managing boat traffic, general
harbor uses, optimum location and number of boat support structures such as docks, piers, moorings,
pump-out facilities, and special anchorage areas, and identification of local and federal navigation
channels. Examine existing harbor management regulations at the federal, State and local levels and
present town wide and geographic specific harbor management recommendations.
The Harbor Management Plan will identify discrete harbor management units located within the Town
and provide various alternatives for optimum waterfront and harbor use, while at the same time analyzing
probable environmental effects of these alternatives. The Harbor Management Plan will highlight two
main issues for immediate attention:
an inventory and analysis of marinas in the Town of Southold
the preparation of a detailed unit Harbor Management Plan for Mattituck Inlet
Organization:
The preparation of the Harbor Management Plan will be developed by a consultant under the guidance
of a subcommittee of the Town's Waterfront Advisory Committee and coordinated by the Town's
Planning Department. Technical assistance will be available from the New York State Department of
State.
Project cost:
A maximum of $25,000 is available for this project through the New York State Environmental
Protection Fund.
2. Study Area
The study area is the marine waters within the Town of Southold or abounding the Town of Southold to
a distance of fifteen hundred feet from the shore, whichever is greater. This includes in-water areas
adjacent to open shorelines as well as actively used enclosed bays or harbors and associated uplands. The
study area has been split into 10 shoreline reaches, developed by the Town of Southold as part of their
Draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. There are 4 reaches along the Long Island Sound, 5
reaches along the bays, and the shoreline of Fishers Island. Emphasis will be placed on harbor
management issues within Mattituck Inlet, located within Reach I.
3. Performance Standards
The final report shall contain the completed Harbor Management Plan for the study area and a detailed
unit Harbor Management Plan for Mattituck Inlet, with all of the products listed in Section 4,
2
Deliverables, as a minimum. The final report should also include a discussion of the methodology used,
reference all sources of information, and identify any information gaps and issues requiring further study.
This final report shall incorporate and respond to the comments from the draft report provided by the
Department of State and the Town of Southold. The consultant will be required to attend two public
meetings organized by the Town to provide the opportunity to highlight local concerns on harbor
management issues and for public comment on the draft document.
The report shall be prepared using WordPerfect 5.1. Map products and tabular data shall be prepared
using the guidelines in Attachment 3.
4. Deliverables
A. A draft Harbor MaJUlgement Programfor the Town ofSouthold containing thefollowing elements:
(i) Identification of the Harbor Management boundary area. This shall be supplemented
with a map of the Harbor Management study area depicting the boundary for the study
area.
(ii) An inventory and analysis of by reach of the existing uses of the surface water area and
adjacent uplands that are relevant to the use and management of surface waters and
underwater lands, natural and cultural features and conditions in this area. The
Consultant will work closely with the Town of Southold to develop the inventory and
analysis. For each reach, the inventory and analysis should address the following
considerations:
a. The location and extent of, where applicable:
commercial shipping
recreational boating*
dry rack storage
commercial and recreational fishing and shell fishing
aquaculture and mariculture
waste management
mineral extraction
dredging and deposition of dredge spoil
Andros Patent Lands
public access
recreation
habitats and other natural resource protection
water quality
open space
aesthetic values
water dependent uses
common law riparian or littoral rights
public interests, including interests under the Public Trust Doctrine
other uses and circumstances determined to be significant by the Town.
This shall be supplemented with a map for each reach depicting the boundary for
the study area and identifying the existing uses of the surface water area and
3
adjacent uplands that are relevant to the use and management of surface waters
and underwater lands, natural and cultural features and conditions in this area.
* This stage of the inventory and analysis should include a survey of marinas
located in the Town of Southold as detailed in Attachment 1.
b. Identification and discussion of conflict and competition for space among the uses
and users of harbors, surface waters and underwater lands.
c. Identification and discussion of conditions which operate as constraints on
utilization of underwater lands and navigable waters by the public.
d. Identification and discussion of issues of regional and local importance. Identify
regional needs for any of the various uses or users likely to be attracted to the
particular qualities of the area.
e. Discussion of existing regulation of the construction, size and location of
wharves,docks, moorings, piers, jetties, platforms, breakwaters, or other
structures, whether temporary or permanent.
f. Discussion of opportunities, long and short term goals and objectives.
Identification and discussion of economic, cultural and social considerations
fundamental to responsible management of underwater lands and navigable
waters.
g. Identification of discrete harbor management units for which specific policies,
recommendations and implementation measures could be developed in subsequent
harbor management plans.
(iii) A water use plan that provides a rational basis for the allocation and use of space within
the harbors and nearshore areas of the Town of Southold, effectively zoning surface
water areas and underwater lands for specific uses or a range of specific uses in order
to avoid conflicts or improve conditions within harbor or nearshore areas. The water use
plan shall include:
a. A plan that addresses the allocation and use of space within the harbors and
nearshore areas of the study area. This plan should address, but not necessarily
be limited to, the following:
navigation channels
fairways
open water areas
mooring areas and allocation procedures
anchorage areas
dredging and deposition of dredge spoil
boat launches
marinas
marine structures
dry rack storage

lU~l "lUla.C~
parking and traffic circulation
water dependent uses
associated upland uses
This shall be supplemented with a proposed water use map for each reach
depicting the boundary of the study area and the harbor management units and
identifying the proposed uses of the surface water area and underwater lands in
the study area. The map should also identify proposed capital improvement
projects and areas of specific regulation.
b. Specification of policies concerning present and future use and management of
the study area. The consultant will work closely with the Department of State
to apply regional coastal policies on harbor management.
c. Identification of capital projects necessary to implement the Harbor Management
Plan.
d. Specification of existing and proposed techniques and authorities to implement
the Harbor Management Plan.
(iv) The preparation of a detailed Harbor Management Program for Mattituck Inlet. This
plan will facilitate the optimum utilization of Mattituck Inlet as a working harbor and
Maritime Center, while also improving the Inlet's surface water quality, enhancing
natural productivity and protecting its ecological integrity. The consultant will work
closely with the Department of State in the preparation of this detailed harbor
management plan. Initial inventory and analysis of Mattituck Creek was undertaken as
part of the Long Island Sound Regional Coastal Management Program. This is included
as Attachment B and provides the framework for this task. This plan will serve as a
model for further Harbor Management Plans within the Town.
This plan should be supplemented by detailed maps of the Inlet, depicting:
the boundary for the study area and identifying the existing uses of the surface
water area and adjacent uplands that are relevant to the use and management of
surface waters and underwater lands, natural and cultural features and conditions
in th is area.
the boundary of the study area and identifying the proposed uses of the surface
water area and underwater lands in the study area. The map should also identify
proposed capital improvement projects and areas of specific regulation.
B. Five final report copies including comments from the draft report provided by the Department of
State and the Town of South old, and a 3.5" floppy disk containing the report in WordPerfect 5.1
format.

A'ITACHMENT 1: EVALUATlON OF MARINAS
An inventory and analysis of marinas located in the Town of Southold. The study will help to determine
the appropriateness of the existing uses, and the need to expand or increase the number of marina
facilities, assuring that an adequate portion of the waterfront is reserved for water-<lependent uses.
Marinas are defined as those facilities adjacent to water providing safe and secure mooring, berthing, or
storage for boats including the functions of marinas and related ancillary structures; e.g. docks, piers;
boat launching ramps, anchorages, breakwaters, channels, moorings, basins, repair service, fuel sales,
rentals, and parking areas. Yacht clubs and private boat basins within subdivision developments on
private and patent lands will also be considered, along with marinas, for the purposes of this study.
The analysis of existing conditions should consider the following factors:
A. LOCATION AND LAND USE
Location on the shoreline - is it at the head or mouth of a creek or inlet or on a bay? is
it appropriate to increase boat traffic and activity in this location?
zoning - does the site/use fit the current zoning requirements? are the zoning
requirements reasonable and adequate or are they in need of amendments?
surrounding land uses - what land uses surround the site? what are the permitted land
uses? do all existing land uses support the intent of the marine zoning districts?
compatibility - is the marina compatible with the existing zoning and character of the
area, with consideration being given to scale, architectural style, density and intensity of
use?
traditional uses - what is the development history of the marina? have water-<lependent
and water-enhanced uses been commonplace, since the opening of the facility?
water supply and wastewater disposal - what are the sources of water supply, how is
wastewater handled and how is it disposed of?
marina services - what is the level of services offered at the marina (e.g. boat repair and
maintenance, boat storage, boat launch and haul out, vessel winterization, boat sales,
motor sales, fuel, pumpout facilities, sail making and repair, and bait shop)? are water-
enhanced uses (e.g. restaurants and retail stores) associated with the marina? what are
the projected demands?
types of boats - what is the pattern of boat usage (e.g. recreational, transient, commercial
fishing, charter/party boats)?
overnight accommodations - are accommodations provided for boaters wishing to stay on
their boats overnight?
vehicular access to and within the site - is it adequate? is it compatible with the
connecting roads/highways? what are the existing and potential trip generators?
the Town Trustees operate as a "marina" owner through their regulation of moorings on
Town-owned bottom - how do the Trustees operate this function? where are moorings
permitted? what is the access to moorings? what are the size of boats? what are the
types of moorings? could procedures be improved?
B. SITE LAYOUT
existing layout - what is the layout and design of permanent and temporary uses on the
site? are additional parcels leased or used by the marina?
expansion potential - is there additional land area available for facility expansion? does
the current zoning enable appropriate expansion? how practical or appropriate would it
be for the marina to expand?

ATI'ACHMENT 2: MATI'ITUCK INLET
Mattituck Inlet is located in the hamlet of Mattituck on the north shore of Long Island, in the Town of
Southold, and is the only harbor on the north shore to the east of Mount Sinai Harbor. The tidal inlet
is extremely narrow and approximately two miles long. The widest parts of the inlet, which are only a
few hundred feet wide, are in the southern half. The inlet supports substantial vegetated tidal wetlands,
shell fisheries, and a state-designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat. It also contains a
number of commercial and recreational water-dependent uses which are concentrated in three locations:
at the inlet's extreme southern end; at its midpoint; and on the west shore near the northernmost end of
the inlet.
Residential development surrounds most of the inlet. Water-dependent uses include five marinas,
commercial fishing, party and charter boats, and a transient anchorage area and two boat ramps in the
extreme south end of the inlet. Most of the water-dependent uses are concentrated on the west side of
the inlet. Agriculture is a major land use within the inlet's watershed.
Approximately 21 acres of vacant, underutilized land, zoned Marine-II (M-I1), is available for new
commercial development or redevelopment on the northwest side of the inlet. This is a former industrial
area which consisted of petroleum and asphalt tank farms. This area could accommodate new marinas
and other recreational or commercial water-dependent uses, or a mix of uses. Sufficient space exists for
upland dry rack storage of vessels and limited in-water facilities, boat ramps, and associated parking
areas.
WATER DEPENDENT USES
Commercial Fishing and ShelIrlShing
Facilities in the inlet support approximately 20 to 25 commercial fishing vessels. Most of these boats
make daily runs, although several make extended trips. There are excellent docking facilities for
commercial fishing vessels, with over 250 feet of bulkheaded dock space. One facility has a hydraulic
crane for loading and unloading and, unlike most ports on the Sound, provides some gear storage space.
No ice is available, and fuel facilities are deficient, requiring fuel to be brought to commercial vessels.
Mechanical and engine repairs for commercial vessels are lacking, but is provided by on-call mechanics.
Unlike other ports on the Sound, Mattituck is used by transient commercial vessels from Shinnecock Inlet
during the summer. Although the inlet is relatively small, it is also an extremely productive shellfish
growing and commercial harvesting area, producing hard clams, soft clams, and oysters of local and
regional importance.
Recreation
The inlet is the only harbor on the north shore east of Mount Sinai Harbor and provides long-term and
transient recreational vessel anchoring, slips, and services. Five marinas in the inlet provide dockage for
approximately 600 recreational vessels, and approximately 150 recreational vessels are moored throughout
the inlet. The greatest single concentration of moored transient vessels (approximately 25) are located
in the federally dredged anchorage area at the extreme southern end of the inlet. Two boat ramps, one
owned and operated by the Mattituck Park District for district residents and the other owned by the town
and for town residents, are at the south end of the inlet. A 1.3 acre parcel at the extreme northwest
corner of the inlet south of the west jetty, recently acquired by the Town of Southold in 1993 using
Environmental Quality Bond Act funds, is an appropriate and suitable site for a public boat ramp due to
its proximity to the Sound. Two parks and beaches, which are part of the Mattituck Park District, front
9
Long Island Sound on both the east and west side of the inlet and are limited to use by park district
residents. The park and beach on the west side abuts the inlet's west jetty at the inlet's entrance. The
east park and beach abuts the inlet's east jetty and the Mattituck Inlet Wetlands Significant Coastal Fish
and Wildlife Habitat located south of the beach. The inlet also supports some recreational shellfishing.
The state-owned wetlands and the park abutting them on the east shore provide opportunities for passive
recreation such as nature study and observation.
NATURAL RESOURCES
Wetlands and Habitat
Vegetated tidal wetlands exist throughout the inlet. The most extensive. undisturbed vegetated wetlands
are part of the approximately 60 acre state-designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat, which
includes most of the open water of the inlet and its wetlands north of Mill Road. Most of the vegetated
wetlands in the designated habitat are owned by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The remainder of the underwater lands and tidal wetlands are owned by the Town of Southold. Wetlands
are highly productive and support a variety of fish and wildlife within the inlet and in Long Island Sound
near the inlet, including a substantial soft clam and oyster shellfishery, which is dependent on high water
quality and undisturbed wetlands.
Water Quality
The water quality classification in the inlet is SA, and its highest assigned use standard is shellfishing.
The inlet fails to meet the class SA water quality and use standards during the summer. Conditional
shell fishing is allowed, however, in the winter except following a 0.2" rainfall within a 24 hour period,
when coliform loadings exceed acceptable levels. Agricultural and urban nonpoint runoff within the
inlet's narrow drainage basin are the primary sources of water quality and shellfish harvesting use
impairments. Roadway drainage pipe discharges to the creek have been identified by the town as a
source of nonpoint pollution. Water quality and use impairments are also related to large numbers of
vessels in marinas and the public anchorage at the south end of the inlet.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND PROBLEMS
The issues and problems confronting Mattituck Inlet as a maritime center are summarized below and
illustrated on map 20.0
Problems within the inlet and its immediate area include: limited public access to the inlet and its
resources for water-dependent recreation, navigation, and shell fishing; use conflicts within the inlet;
insufficient infrastructure; and substandard groundwater and surface water quality. Issues include: the
need to protect and prevent the displacement of water-dependent uses within the inlet; to redevelop
approximately 21 acres of vacant and underutilized waterfront land at the north end of the inlet; to
improve surface water quality for shell fishing; and to maintain high value natural resources within the
inlet.
Commercial Water-Dependent Uses
Although the existing water-dependent uses are consistent with their current M-II zoning category, the
M-II district also allows non-water-dependent uses which could displace the important water-dependent
uses. The displacement of docking facilities for the commercial fishing fleet would be disastrous, since
the existing facilities are the only ones available in this part of the Long Island Sound region; and their
loss would adversely affect the commercial fishing industry on Long Island. There is also a need to
10
maintain the existing marinas in the inlet to meet the demand for recreational vessel storage and servicing.
There is an opportunity to facilitate the location of new water-dependent recreational facilities or a mix
of water-dependent and water-enhanced uses within the existing 21-acre underutilized area at the north
end of the inlet. This area is most appropriate for new water-dependent uses, such as marinas, boat
yards, and boat ramps, due to its proximity to the Sound, its previously disturbed and leveled terrain, and
few natural resource constraints both on and immediately off-site. This is also one of the only areas in
the inlet large enough to provide sufficient buffer area between water-dependent uses and residences.
Petroleum tanks have been removed; however, some remaining tanks may still contain asphalt. It is not
known if the area is contaminated or in need of remediation prior to redevelopment. If these areas are
redeveloped for commercial or recreational water-dependent uses, such as marinas or boat yards,
remediation may not be necessary.
Navigation and Access to Underwater Lands and the Foreshore
New in-water structures, such as docks and bulkheads, have become prevalent throughout much of the
inlet. These structures impede access along the foreshore and to underwater lands for shell fishing and
other uses, and impede navigation in narrow, shallow areas. New in-water structures which adversely
affect access and navigation need to be limited to the minimum necessary in order for property owners
to exercise their littoral rights of access to the water, in order to prevent impairments to navigation and
public access along the shore. Structures that cover large areas of underwater lands should be limited
to areas adjacent to upland areas zoned for water-dependent uses, and should be limited in length so as
not to interfere with navigation channels and navigation buffer areas. The anchorage at the south end of
the inlet does not provide moorings for transient vessels. These vessels must use conventional anchors
with .greater scope than moorings. As a result, the vessels swing in large arcs and use valuable space in
the basin. Vessels often anchor outside of the basin due to a lack of space. Permanent or semi-
permanent moorings and tackle for transients, which are safer than conventional anchors and use a shorter
scope, would result in better use of space in the basin. A greater concentration of vessels could be
moored in the anchorage rather than spread out elsewhere in the inlet.
Infrastructure Constraints
Major new development and major expansions of existing development are constrained throughout the
inlet due to the lack of a readily available potable water supply, insufficient roadway infrastructure and
parking space for major expansions of existing commercial uses, and insufficient surface water area
between the established navigation channel and commercial upland uses. The shallow groundwater table,
which has been the area's source of potable water, has been polluted from agricultural pesticides. It is
not economically feasible to extend new public water supply lines to the area. Narrow, winding
residential streets surround the entire inlet, except at its extreme south end, where a major county road
is within a few hundred feet of the Mattituck Park District and town boat ramps. Limited parking is
available at the south end of the inlet at the boat ramps, the park and beach at the entrance to the inlet
on its west side, and at the park and beach at the entrance to the inlet on its west side (all for district
residents only). Little space is available for new in-water structures or uses, since the inlet is so narrow
and the existing navigation channel occupies much of the inlet.
Erosion and Inlet and Beach Maintenance
At the entrance to the inlet, beach erosion and shoaling is a problem that needs to be resolved. Shoaling
of the inlet is a hazard for large commercial and recreational vessels, and the two jetties along each side
of the inlet's entrance prevent the downdrift movement of beach material, resulting in downdrift erosion
of the beach on the east side of the inlet. Sand bypassing of the inlet would reduce inlet shoaling and
restore the sand budget to downdrift beaches.
II
Water Quality and ShellflShing
Substandard water quality resulting from nonpoint source pollution precludes tbe inlet's assigned use for
shell fishing during most of tbe year, except during cold and dry periods during tbe winter when tbere is
very little runoff entering tbe inlet. While water quality frequently fails to meet tbe inlet's assigned SA
water quality standards, it may be possible to improve water quality, retain tbe SA classification, and
reopen areas witbin tbe inlet for shellfishing. This will require adequate control and treatment of
stormwater and agricultural runoff using nonstructural as well as structural management practices prior
to its entry into tbe inlet. If tbese improvements are effective, tbe standard for closures might be
amended to relax tbe 0.2" rainfall standard to allow shellfishing more often. In addition, use conflicts
between shell fishing and concentrations of vessels in marinas and mooring areas need to be minimized
in order to reopen portions of tbe inlet to shellfishing. Some of tbe potential risks of vessel waste
pollution may be reduced by providing sufficient pumpout or dump stations for vessel wastes and
designating tbe inlet a vessel waste no-discharge zone, but tbe potential for pollution from concentrations
of vessels would still exist. In order to effectively resolve tbese use conflicts, concentrations of vessels
will have to be limited to specific areas and prohibited in areas tbat are most important for shellfish
harvesting.
SUMMARY OF OVERALL OBJECTIVES
I. Protect and maintain existing water-dependent uses in tbeir present locations and improve
conditions, so tbat tbey can operate cleanly and more efficiently, and allow tbese uses to expand
witbin well-defined limits.
2. Facilitate tbe siting of new water-dependent uses on former industrial sites at tbe north end of tbe
inlet, such as at least one public boat ramp and parking area, marinas and/or boat yards witb dry
rack storage. Any in-water facilities would be limited in size to prevent intrusions into tbe main
navigation channel of tbe inlet.
3. Provide necessary infrastructure improvements (roads, parking, water supply, inlet and channel
maintenance/bypassing, water quality improvements) to sustain existing and new development.
4. Maintain high natural resource and habitat values tbroughout tbe inlet.
5. Improve water quality for shellfishing and high value habitats by remediating water quality
impairments resulting from agricultural and stormwater runoff and vessel waste discharges.
6. Prevent use conflicts between shellfishing in highly productive shellfishing areas and
congregations of commercial and recreational vessels in. tbe soutbernmost anchorage basin, at
marinas, and at otber facilities and areas witbin tbe inlet.
7. Protect, maintain, and improve public access to underwater lands and tbe foreshore for
shell fishing, fishing, recreational boating, and passive recreation.
ACTIONS NEEDED
Develop a harbor management plan as a component of tbe town's Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program tbat achieves tbe preceding objectives and includes priority actions, such as tbe following
projects and procedural recommendations:
12
PROJECTS
I. Commercial Fishing - Provide ice, fuel, and mechanical repair facilities and services for
commercial fishing vessels. (Objectives 1,2)
2. Recreation - Provide permanent or semi-permanent mooring tackle at the public anchorage at the
south end of the inlet for more efficient use of space by transient vessels, and prohibit
concentrations of anchored or moored vessels in productive shellfishing areas. User fees for
moorings would pay for upkeep and maintenance of mooring tackle, etc. This would reduce
vessel versus shell fishing conflicts by providing for a greater concentration of vessels in the
anchorage rather than productive shell fishing areas, and preventing conflicts in important
shellfishing areas. Provide a public park and a boat ramp with associated parking lots on the 1.3
acre state-owned parcel on northwest side of inlet. Maintain the inlet channel and anchorage
basin at adequate depths and use clean dredge spoil for downdrift beach nourishment. (Objectives
1,2,3,5,6,7)
3. Water Quality - Install detention or retention basins, provide street end improvements to control
and treat runoff, retrofit direct pipe discharges from roadways to treat runoff before discharge
to the inlet, and maintain or create adequate buffers along watercourses tributary to the inlet.
Direct runoff to buffer areas for treatment prior to discharge in the inlet. Use federal Clean
Vessel Act funds to provide sufficient vessel waste pumpout and dump stations for all vessels
using the inlet. (Objectives 1,3,4,5,6,7)
4. Shellfish - Improve water quality by managing, controlling, and treating agricultural and urban
nonpoint runoff. Construct detention or retention basins, create buffers, and improve street ends
to prevent direct discharges to the inlet. Limit vessel mooring in productive harvesting areas and
increase public anchorage capacity to relocate vessels from harvest areas. Establish shellfish
spawner areas (especially for oysters). Transplant shellfish from anchorage area, marinas, and
channels to spawner areas and other areas for harvesting. Increase access for shell fishing during
winter months by providing public boat ramp at north end of inlet. (Objectives 1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
5. Access - Provide a public boat launch near the mouth of the inlet (see recreation above). Limit
new bulkheads along the shoreline which result in loss of intertidal areas used for access along
inlet's shoreline. Limit the length of new docks to the minimum necessary to prevent
impairments to navigation in channels and access to underwater lands for shell fishing . Provide
pedestrian access to the inlet from street ends as part of street end improvements designed to
control and/or treat roadway runoff. Maintain the inlet channel and anchorage basin. (Objectives
1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
6. Marinas - Maintain the inlet channel and anchorage basin at adequate depths. (Objectives
1,2,3,6,7)
PROCEDURAL
I. Regulatory Simplification - Simplify the state and local regulatory process for public and private
actions that are consistent with the harbor management plan. (Objectives 1,2,3)
2. Water-Dependent Uses - Maintain the M-I1 districts in their current locations to ensure that water-
13
enhanced uses can not displace water-dependent uses, and amend the M-II zoning text to eliminate
non-water-dependent uses. Consider a specific provision for protecting commercial fishing
facilities from displacement. (Objectives 1,4,6)
3. In-Water Structures - Establish seaward perimeter boundaries for new and existing water-
dependent uses within M-II zoning districts. There is a need to limit the seaward extension of
in-water structures given the narrow nature of the inlet. Within these perimeters, allow
modifications to docks, piers, floats, pilings, etc., without requiring new regulatory permits for
every minor modification, although changes should be reported to the town and state. Allow
these in-water uses despite the SA water quality classification. Where commercial uses exist,
reclassify surface waters to SB within the area occupied by these uses and within a limited and
well-defined adjacent area, where shellfishing does not occur or where the area is not a
productive shellfishery. (Objectives 1,2,4,6,7)
4. Tax Assessments - Assess existing water-dependent uses for their value as water-dependent uses,
rather than assessing them as non-water-dependent uses, since non-water-dependent uses would
be prohibited by the amended M-II zoning. (Objectives 1,2)
5. Water Quality - After sufficient vessel waste pumpout and dump stations are available (most
conservative standard would be one facility for each 300 vessels), designate the inlet a federal
and state vessel waste no-discharge zone, and delegate federal enforcement authority to the state
and town pursuant to Section 312 of the Clean Water Act. (Objectives 3,4,5,6,7)
6. Harbor Improvement District - Establish a harbor improvement district, pursuant to Section 190
of the New York State Town Law, to provide a funding mechanism for public projects and
physical improvements in the inlet, such as water quality improvement projects, studies,
construction and maintenance oflaunching ramps, public docks, anchorage areas, bulkheads, land
acquisition, public docking facilities, dredging, etc. (Objectives 1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

MAP 20.0 I
ATTACHMENT 3: REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACT MAP PRODUCTS
GENERAL MAP PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The following general cartographic requirements must be adhered to by the Contractor:
1) Map Products -- The Division's preference is for the delivery of digital map products that meet the
specifications outlined in the Digital Cartographic File Requirements section. If analog map products are
produced, they must meet specifications outlined in the Digital-Ready Map Product Requirements section.
The ability to provide digital map products will be one of the factors used in selecting a Contractor.
2) Deliverable Format -- All digital map and attribute table files must be provided in Maplnfo 3.0 for
Windows format on 4 mm DAT tape or 3.5" floppy diskette media. Alternatively, the digital products
may be provided in UNIX or PC ARC/INFO binary format or AutoCAD DXF format on the same media
types upon approval of the Division. All other digital formats require prior approval of the Division.
All non-digital map products must be provided on stable base material at a scale agreed upon by the
Division. The map products must include an index map to all map sheets and thorough descriptions of
all the cartographic elements portrayed on the maps.
3) Documentation -- A data dictionary must be included along with the map files describing file contents,
file names, map projection, coordinate system, RMS accuracy, information sources, and creation
methodology.
4) Map Accuracy -- Unless otherwise stated by the Division, all deliverable map products must conform
to National Map Accuracy Standards for horizontal accuracy as established by the United States
Geological Survey (USGS). For example, maps at 1:20,000 or smaller, not more than 10% of the well-
defined map points tested must be more than 1/50 inch (5 mm) out of correct position. At I :24,000, this
tolerance translates to a required horizontal accuracy of 40 feet.
DIGITAL CARTOGRAPffiC FILE REQUIREMENTS
The following cartographic construction requirements must be adhered to by the Contractor:
1) Edge-matching -- All map sheets must be both visually and coordinate edge-matched with adjacent
map sheets. No edge-match tolerance will be allowed. Attributes for splitable features must also be
identical.
2) Common Boundaries -- All features that share a common boundary, regardless of map layer, must
have exactly the same coordinate position of that feature in all common layers.
3) Point Duplication -- No duplication of points that occur within a data string is permitted.
4) Connectivity -- Where graphic elements visually meet, they must be also digitally meet. All
confluences of line and polygon data must be exact; "overshoots", "undershoots", "slivers", or
"offshoots" are NOT permitted.
16
5) Line Quality -- A high quality cartographic appearance must be achieved. Transitions from straight
lines to curvilinear elements must be smooth, with angular inflections at the point of intersection. The
digital representation must not contain extraneous data at a non visible level. There should be no jags,
hooks, or zero length segments. Any lines that are straight, or should be straight, should be digitized
using only two points that represent the beginning and ending points of the line.
6) Polygon Closure -- For area features being digitized, the last coordinate pair must be exactly
(mathematically) equal to the first coordinate pair. No line or polygon must cross itself except to join
at an actual confluence. All digitized features across map boundaries must be edited to effect smooth and
continuous lines.
7) Graphic Precision -- All digital graphic elements must contain positional coordinates significant to
one thousandth (.001) of a foot.
8) Digitizer Accuracy -- The required RMS error for digitizer accuracy must be .003 or better for digital
map registration.
DIGITAL-READY MAP PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements for non-digital map products must be followed to facilitate the future
conversion of the maps to digital map products.
1) Base Map Media -- All maps must be created on mylar or other stable base material.
2) Map Scale -- All maps of a similar series should be created using the same base scale. Unless
otherwise stated by the Division, all maps should be compiled at I :24,000. If other map scales are
approved by the Division, they will conform to standard map scales such as 1:9600; 1 :50,000; 1 :75,000;
or 1:100,000.
3) Map Registration -- The maps must provide a minimum of four (4) corner and four (4) interior ticks
tied to USGS/NYSDOT quadrangle Lat/Long or NYTM coordinates. The maps must be geometrically
correct and should register when overlaid on the appropriate USGS/NYSDOT quadrangle control ticks.
4) Map Projection and Datum -- The maps must include the map projection and the map datum used.
5) Map Title and Legend -- The maps must provide a title and legend block describing the information
contained on the maps.
6) Cartographic Quality -- The quality of all map line work and symbolization must conform to items
I - 6 in the map criteria set forth in the Digital Cartographic File Requirements section outlined above.
