RE:DEIS Comment Letter July 19,2017:Southold Gas Station&r Convenience Store
SCTM#1000-55-5-2.2 CR 48 and Youngs Avenue,Southold NY
Dear Mr.Szabo,
Your above referenced letter was forwarded to us on by letter dated October 02, 2017 from the Southold
Planning Board,as Lead Agency for SEQRA review,and our preparation of the Final Environmental Impact
Statement.
Please be advised the estimated water usage for the proposed project is 215 GPD, which excludes the
proposed irrigation,estimated to be 30 GPM.The parcel is 1.46 acres,with paved parking however the site
and landscape plans have not been refined to provide more detailed irrigation information.
The DEIS stated, "The Lead Agency requested information be provided by SCWA regarding the location of public supply
- wells.SCWA provided the location of public water supply wells within 2,500-ft.t.of the subject site.The nearest wells are located
2,033 ft.northeast of the site,north of Old North Road Other SCWA wells are located at CR 48 west of the site and at a
location east of Kennys Road-each location is beyond the distance of 2,500 ft." If the statement was confusing with
respect to the SCWA's location of the well closest to the subject site,or the distance to the wells that are
located beyond 2,500 feet,we will revise the statement.
The Lead Agency has requested we ask the SCWA what potential impact the proposed gas station will
have on the SCWA wells based on the cone of influence and drawdown during(maximum)pumping.We
assume this comments is specific to product release and potential for contamination to public water
supply. Please provide a response, as we have no information on the SCWA well depth, maximum
pumping rates,screen locations or other pertinent information to assess the impact potential.Furthermore
we recognize the sensitive nature of such information and wish only to satisfy the Lead Agency's comments
to the DEIS pursuant to SEQRA.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Jeffrey L.Seeman,CEP
