The applicant’s stated purpose for the replacement is to storm harden and protect critical infrastructure for fire suppression at their existing facility in accordance with Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and New York City (NYC) Building Code flood construction guidelines. The new SWPH (approximately 98 foot wide by 67 foot long) is to be constructed directly northwest of the existing pump house on an existing pile-supported dock and pier system. Subsequent to construction of the new SWPH\, the existing SWPH (approximately 40-foot-wide by 80-foot-long) will be demolished and removed. In addition\, the existing open-top intake structure will be covered in place with steel plates. The new SWPH will consist of an intake structure (approximately 27-foot-long by 24-foot-wide) that meets National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for fire protection and includes four (4) pre-cast concrete bays\, five (5) intake pumps\, and a double set of intake screens at the seaward side of the four (4) bays. The project includes installation of approximately twelve (12) 18-inch diameter steel piles to support the intake structure and installation of eighty (80) 16-inch diameter and two (2) 18-inch diameter steel piles to support the pump house building. Additional regulated work activities within NYSDEC’s jurisdiction include construction of an intake scour pad (~1\,101 square feet) and associated rip rap and maintenance of the existing dock and pier system. To facilitate installation of the intake structure an existing section of the existing timber pier decking will be removed. The project includes minor dredging and excavation of sediment to facilitate construction of the new intake structure\, scour pad\, and associated piles. The applicant proposes to purchase credits from the Saw Mill Creek Mitigation Bank as mitigation for the 382 cubic yards of unavoidable wetland impacts associated with the proposed project. \nState Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Determination: \nProject is not subject to SEQR because it is a Type II action. \nSEQR Lead Agency: None Designated \nState Historic Preservation Act (SHPA) Determination: \nEvaluation using a Structural-Archaeological Assessment Form or other information has concluded that the proposed activity will not impact registered\, eligible or inventoried archaeological sites or historic structures. \nCoastal Management: \nThis project is located in a Coastal Management area and is subject to the Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act. \nOpportunity for Public Comment: \nComments on this project must be submitted in writing to the Contact Person no later than Dec 07\, 2023. \nContact: \nCaitlyn P Nichols\nNYSDEC Region 2 Headquarters\n47-40 21st St\nLong Island City\, NY 11101\n(718)482-4997\ncomment.saltwaterpumphouse2022@dec.ny.gov
