Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria ~ Yes ~] No ~] Not AOplicable The project consists of the ordinary and routine maintenance of a historically existing erosion control structure, specifically the in-place replacement of an existing, functional, and previously permiaed (Town Wetlands Permit No. 4991 ) groin with a shortened (64' to 50'), Iow-profile, vinyl groin. The project is consistent with historically existing and pertained reconstructed groins to the north and south and will serve to maintain existing shoreline conditions. Ihe project is consistent with Policy 4 in that the maintenance of the existing hard structural erosion protection measure is the only practical design consideration and is essential to protecting the principal residential use. Specifically, the fetch and exposure of this location to the bay warrants the continued use of the hardened control structure to slow and trap the predominately north to south migration of sand, where vegetation is not a practical beach retention method. Further, the replacement groin is designed to the minimum scale necessary as the existing +/-64' structure will be replaced with a +/-50' structure terminating at apparent Iow water. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria [~ Yes [---] No ~] Not Applicable The replacement of the existing CCA-treated timber sheathing with vinyl sheathing provides a benefit to the quality of the adjacent surface waters, consistent with the objectives of Policy 5.
