The proposed action is located in a designated NEW YORK STATE CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL AREA. J:M.O. Environmental Consulting on behalf of FISHERS ISLAND DEVELOPMENT CORP. requests a Wetland Permit to construct an 8'× 132' Thru Flow boardwalk in the area of "Grey Gulls"; and construct an 8'X 300' Thru Flow boardwalk supported by helical anchors and elevated 18" above grade in the area of "Barle~eld Cove". As mitigation, construct/create an area of freshwater wetlands adjacent to the 1st and 18"' holes of the Fishers Island Club golf course. Excavate the area down to elevation 3' and remove approx. 1,920 cy. of material and stockpiling it. At proposed elevation 3' create approx. 9,650 sf. of open water wetlands and in that area between 'elevation 3' and elevation 4' create approx. 26,450 sr. of vegetated wetlands. Regrade portion of the fairway located to the south of the proposed wetlands to control rainwater run-off by stripping sod off the fairway and stockpiling it. Approx. 1,050 cy. of fill shall be placed in the exposed area to raise the elevation of the fairway to elevation 7'. Area shall be replanted with the stockpiled sod.. Located: P/o East End Rd., Fishers Island. The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided the following best management practice is required: To further Policy 6.3. Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands Restore tidal wetlands and freshwater wetlands, wherever practical, to foster their continued existence as natural systems by: 1. reconstructing lost physical conditions to maximize wetland values, 3. manipulating biological characteristics to emulate natural conditions through re-introduction of indigenous flora and fauna, and It is recommended that the Board establish survival rates for vegetation planted within the created wetland. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
