[] NO [] NOT APPLICABLE There is no evidence to indicate that the immediate area of the project includes his- toric features, and it is to be expected that the mainly intertidal nature of the project area is unlikely to have been the site of recoverable artifacts of past civilizations. Policy 3 Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. ~/ES [] NO [] NOT APPLICABLE The bulkhead replacement structure and the modified dock structure proposed are both of low profile, as are the existing structures, and will be inconspicuous in the proposed location. They are is compatible with other existing shoreline structures in the area, and will not adversely affect the dynamic landscape elements (tidal fluctuations, seasonal vegetation changes; seasonal/diurnal changes in ambient light) which might contribute to ephemeral visual qualities. policy 4 ~4~S Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and ero- sion. [] NO [] NOT APPLICABLE It is intuitively obvious that the likelihood of the structures proposed contributing to increased hazards which could result in the loss of life is probably non-existent. The proposed bulkhead replacement will have a significant positive effect on the protection of structures and natural resources from flooding and erosion in that the existing bulkhead, which currently provides those features, is tending toward fail- ure and its replacement is required in order that these protective features continue in effect. Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. ~rYES [] NO [] NOT APPLICABLE The proposed dock modification project will not include a pump-out station nor will liquid or solid wastes be discharged into the water or wetlands. Disturbance of the creek bed during construction and thereafter during active use of the structure will be minimal. The proposed bulkhead replacement project will minimize any wash-out of soil or sand through the bulkhead by eliminating operdngs in the bulkhead and by the in- clusion of a suitable marine filter cloth behind the proposed structure. Disturbance of the creek bed seaward ora line parallel to the bulkhead and ten feet from the bulkhead during construction of the structure will be minimal, and after construc- tion is complete there will be no effect. The use of vinyl sheathing to replace the existing wood structure will eliminate the possibility of potentially harmful chemi- cals leaching from treated wood. Policy 6 ~S Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold's ecosys- tem. [] NO [] NOT APPLICABLE Although the shading resulting fi:om both the existing and the mod/fled dock may adversely affect the wetland vegetation immediately under it, efforts will be made in the construction to space the deck planking to permit some sunlight through. During construction, any indigenous plants will be protected insofar as possible. All statutory and regulatory requirements, at all levels of government, will be suSctly complied with. No dredging, excavating, or filling is associated with the dock modification. During construction, any indigenous vegetation will be protected insofar as possi- ble. The walkway will pass through an existing unvegetated area at the shoreline. All statutory and regulatory requirements and, in addition, all conditions imposed by regulatory agencies, at all levels of government, will be strictly complied with. The project is located in a Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat, although Corey Creek has been so designated, the proposed project is not inconsistent with Policy 7 of the NYS CMP. Dredging is not proposed in the main body of the creek, but may be necessary within ten feet of the proposed replacement bulkhead in or- der to restore the bottom to its pre-projeet level. The only structural intrusion into the wetlands will be minor changes in the existing dock: the construction of a re- placement for the fixed walkway with a shortened ramp to the existing floating dock, all of which now totals less than XXX square feet below the ordinary kigh water mark. The western shore of Corey Creek in the project area is developed with private wa- terfi.ont residences, and the three properties immediately adjacent to the proiect area to the north and the two properties to the south all have existing dock struc- tures similar to that proposed.. There will be no incremental increase in shoreline development attributable to the proposed project, and it is not significant fi.om the standpoint of a potential adverse impact upon wildlife, shellfish or fmfish. The bottom in the immediate area of the proiect is not conducive to scallop or clam production. The area above the high water mark is not suitable for least tern or pip- ing plover nesting, and there are no osprey nesting sites in the immediate area. Diamondback terrapin have not been observed in or near the project location. The project will have no adverse effect upon existing tidal patterns and there will be no degradation of water quality. Protect and improve air quality in the Town of Southoid. [] NO [] NOT APPLICABLE The construction or use of the project as proposed will not result in significant amounts of new air pollution. Policy 8 Minimize environmental degradation in the Town of Southold from solid waste and hazardous substances and wastes. [] NO [] NOT APPLICABLE The project as proposed will not result in the generation of any additional solid waste. The handling and storage of petroleum products, if any, will be accom- plished through the use of approved containers and facilities, and approved meth- ods of handling and storage will be followed. Policy 9 Provide for public access to, and recreational use of, coastal waters, public lands, and public resources of the Town of Southold. [] YES [] NO ~OT APPLICABLE This policy is not applicable to the proposed project. Policy 10 Protect Southold's water-dependent uses and promote siting of new water- dependent uses in suitable locations. [] YES [] NO ~NOT APPLICABLE This policy is not applicable to the proposed project. Policy 11 [] YES Promote sustainable use of living marine resources in Long Island Sound, the Peconic Estuary and Town waters. [] NO ~OT APPLICABLE This policy is not applicable to the proposed project. Policy 12 Protect agricultural lands in the Town of Southold.
