Minimize loss of life, structures and natural resources form flooding and erosion. The proposed project has been designed to break wave energy which is causing erosion in two separate areas. Both of these areas are exposed to the fetch caused by wave energy generated out of the southwest. The first site is adjacent to the "Clay pits" which is an area of existing freshwater wetlands which is regulated by the Town Trustees and the N.Y.S.D.E.C. as (SH-53) as indicated on the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Map for the area of the project site.. The "Clay pits" is also an area that is used for breeding and feeding by the Eastern Mud Turtle (Kinosternon subrubrum). Due to the erosion of the bluff and beach adjacent to this area of freshwater wetlands there is now the chance that the area may be breached and flooded by tidal waters. The second site involved with this project is located to the south of the first site. In this area the project has been designed to protect an area of a unique geological formation of bluff that has been eroding through "toe" erosion of the bluff. The purpose of the project is to protect both of these areas from ongoing erosion. As part of the design of this project we had first investigated using revegation of the two areas. Given the physical characteristics of the beach, the types and sizes of sand and the fact that there is no existing natural vegetation growing on the beaches at these two sites it was determined that plantings would not be successful. Section 4.2 recommends that natural protective features be protected, restored and enhanced and that destruction or degradation of these features should be discouraged or prohibited. This project has been designed to enhance natural protective features and to limit damage to natural shoreline features. It is felt that this project complies with this policy. Policy No 6.
