TOWN BOARD RESOLUTION 2018-1119 Item # 7.33
ADOPTED DOC ID: 30547
Assume Lead Agency for the Purpose of SEQRA for the Adoption
of The Town of Southampton's Solid Waste Management Plan
Update
WHEREAS, in 1990 The Town of Southampton adopted its first Solid Waste Action
Management Plan-as required by the State under the Solid Waste Management Act of 1988
to develop a long term master plan to address solid waste management including planning,
facilities development and operations; and
WHEREAS, this plan provided the eventual elimination of landfill operations, recycling plans,
composting of Southampton’s entire waste stream after maximum feasible waste reduction
and recycling and evaluation, selection of waste disposal technologies, identifications of site
and locations suitable for waste processing and an implementation schedule; and
WHEREAS, the Town revised and updated the plan in 1995 to consolidate data,
acknowledge that full scale MSW composting was not feasible and developed a plan for
intensive source separation of recyclable materials and composting of yard waste; and
WHEREAS, the 1995 update: acknowledged the communities concerns regarding the North
Sea Landfill and the continued use of the facility; called for private carters to transport
materials directly to market and not use the North Sea Facility; sited a new Sag Harbor
Transfer Facility to provide more opportunities to residential self-haulers and eliminated
access to commercial haulers; and
WHEREAS, the Town has submitted bi-annual reports and status updates to the DEC on the
plan, and was required in 2011 to provide the DEC a new update to the Solid Waste
Management Plan (SWMP); and
WHEREAS, the Town contracted with CDM Smith for preparation of the latest plan; and
WHEREAS, the Town presented the latest plan for public hearing that substantially met DEC
requirements of the ECL Part 360 regulations and subsequently submitted the plan to the
DEC in 2011; and
WHEREAS, the Town has since been involved in an iterative process with the DEC as co-
reviewer and received an updated set of comments in August of 2017 that had to be
addressed prior to the DEC adoption of Part 360 updates; and
WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) Update is classified as a Type I Action
pursuant to NYCRR Part 617 (SEQRA); and
WHEREAS, for the purpose of adopting the most recent Solid Waste Management Plan for
the Town of Southampton, that the Town Board by Resolution No. 2018-1022 coordinated
Lead Agency with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, who did
not request Lead Agency status; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, the Town Board hereby assumes Lead Agency for the purposes of
conducting the requisite SEQRA assessment and determination of significance for the Solid
