PUBLIC NOTICETO CONSIDER A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 106
ENTITLED"WATERWAYS" OF THE RIVERHEAD TOWN CODE (a corrected
version from that which appeared as part of the
Resolution #312 adopted on May 1, 2012)
Councilman Dunleavy offered the following resolution,
which was seconded by Councilman Wooten
WHEREAS, the Town of Riverhead proposes to amend Riverhead Town Code
§106 to prohibit the operation of mechanically propelled vessels, other than those
powered by an electric motor, in a portion of the Peconic Estuary known as Peconic
Lake (formerly known as "Forge Pond") extending to the Grangabel Dam (westerly side
of Peconic Avenue)of the Town of Riverhead; and
WHEREAS, the New York State Executive Law §961-a. states that "The
legislature hereby finds that the tidal waters located between the southern shore of
Long Island and the coastal barrier beaches constitute a maritime region of
statewide importance, referred to as the South Shore Estuary. The legislature finds
that within the South Shore Estuary and the associated lands and water bodies that
discharge into or affect the South Shore Estuary, that the federal, state and local
governments own and manage significant interdependent properties in the form of
parks, preserves, historic sites, open space and underwater lands, which help to
sustain biological productivity and diversity, economic viability and recreational
enjoyment. The legislature also finds that the South Shore Estuary System
contains and supports many unique marine habitats and locally significant
populations and a diversity of rare, threatened and endangered species of plants
and animals and the protection of their habitats is in the best interest of the people of
New York"; and
WHEREAS, the New York State Executive Law § 961-a. further states, in part,
"that there is a multitude of governmental entities and agencies that share
responsibility for the regulation, management, and protection of the Estuary and its
resources and which govern private and public land use and activities; and despite
existing programs, the water quality and productivity of the South Shore Estuary have
declined due to the intensity and variety of land uses in a highly developed suburban
setting which produce point and nonpoint source of pollution";and
WHEREAS, under New York State Executive Law §57~0203 the Peconic
Estuary Watershed "shall mean the area located on the eastern end of Long
Island, New York, and bordered by Long Island's north and south forks. The major river
discharging freshwater into the estuary is the Peconic River. The eastern end of the
Peconic estuary watershed is an imaginary line through Block Island Sound between
Plum Island and Montauk Point, beyond which lies the open sea. The western
boundary is at the headwaters of the Peconic River, just west of the William Floyd
Parkway. The Peconic estuary watershed also includes those land areas that
contribute groundwater and stormwater runoff to the river and estuary"; and
WHEREAS, the Peconic Estuary Program has provided evidence to substantiate
it's statement indicating that this area needs additional protection, or that air and water
quality is being negatively impacted; and
WHEREAS, motorized boats may interact with the aquatic environment by a
variety of mechanisms, including emissions and exhaust, propeller contact, turbulence
from the propulsion system, waves produced by movement, noise, and movement itself.
In turn, each of these impacting mechanisms may have multiple effects on the aquatic
ecosystem. Sediment re-suspension, water pollution, disturbance of fish and wildlife,
destruction of aquatic plants, and shoreline erosion are the major areas of concern; and
WHEREAS, restricting motorized boats will not limit fishermen nor prohibit
hunters from accessing the areas adjacent and/or adjoining that portion of the Peconic
Estuary known as Peconic Lake extending to the Grangabel Dam (westerly side of
Peconic Avenue); and
WHEREAS, the proposed regulation will not negatively impact any businesses in
that area that depend on sport fishing and/or hunting for business traffic; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution #312, adopted on May 1,2012, the Town Board
declared itself Lead Agency on Proposed Amendment of Chapter 106 of the Town Code
of the Town of Riverhead and classified the action as a Type II Action for the purpose of
SEQR Compliance; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment of Chapter 106 set forth in Resolution
#312 contained an error, to wit: elimination of t0 mph speed restriction, and failed to
exclude gas powered emergency vessels and gas powered vessels operating pursuant
to lawful permit; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby recinds
only that portion of Resolution #312 authorizing public hearing for the proposed
amendments set forth in said resolution; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Clerk to
publish the attached public notice to consider a revised version of the proposed local
law set forth in Resolution #312 to amend Chapter 106 entitled "Waterways" of the
Riverhead Town Code once in the May 24, 2012 issue of the News-Review, the
newspaper hereby designated as the official newspaper for this purpose, and post same
