Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 Telephone: 631 765-1938 LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM TOWN OF SOUTHOLD MEMORANDUM To: John Bredemeyer, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees From: Mark Terry, Principal Planner LWRP Coordinator Date: November 19, 2014 Re: Proposed Administrative Permit for TOWN .OF SOUTHOLD/McCall SCTM# 1000-116-6-6 Costello Marine Contracting Corp. on behalf of TOWN OF SOUTHOLD/McCall requests a Wetland Permit to excavate a new 25' to 30' wide inlet in Downs Creek to Peconic Bay to -2' below mean low water; re -grade both banks on side of new inlet; construct new dike closing off existing creek inlet reusing the approximately 3,000 cubic yards of excavated material as fill for the closing. Located: Downs Creek Inlet, Cutchogue. SCTM# 116-6-6 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 actions are CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and therefore are CONSISTENT with the LWRP. This recommendation was based on the following: 1. Aerial analysis (below) indicates that the channel was subject to shoaling and ultimate formation of a sand spit that forced the channel to the east. This configuration coupled with shoaling limits tidal flow (flushing). The proposal would restore the channel close to the location prior to the formation of the sand spit and would improve flushing of the water body through a connection that would allow more volume of water into the water body during tide cycles. 2. Improved flushing of water bodies improves water quality and habitat conditions for most marine species.
