SEQR – WATER LOOP RT 9 – OLD FARM ROAD

Resolution #27-2019 — 2019-05-13

WHEREAS

  • the Village of Red Hook owns and maintains a municipal water system that provides water to village residents, town residents, and business owners and
  • the village requires a modern infrastructure and the Village of Red Hook desires to promote ecological and economic sustainability; and
  • the Village of Red Hook contracted with the Dutchess County Waste and Water Authority to sell water to them for the Hoffman Farm/Tradition development in the Town of Red Hook;
  • this is a contiguous area to the existing water mains but is only served by one older main in Red Hook Estates and results in the creation of a dead-end of a supply main; and
  • the Village also has a dead-end water main on Rt 9 South; and
  • it is best practice to have fully connected, looped water mains and this is the best scenario for the village, its new customers and existing customers; and
  • the Village of Red Hook has water supply capacity and DEC approval to sell water to Hoffman/Tradition at Red Hook and Hardscrabble Plaza plus the Ross Project, that would be served by construction of a 300 foot run to form a loop along Rt 9 South into Old Farm Road; and three customers who will also benefit from the loop will pro-rate costs, provide easements to include legal, engineering and constructions costs for the loop; and
  • the Village of Red Hook will obtain, via the applicant's engineers work product, approval from Dutchess County Department of Health and apply for the NYS DOT Perm costs only; and
  • on May 13, 2019, the Village Board of Trustees declared to serve as lead agency, has considered the criteria contained in 6 NYCRR § 617.7 and thoroughly analyzed all identified relevant areas of environmental concern; and classified the project as an unlisted action pursuant to SEQRA.

RESOLVED

  • The Board of Trustees hereby determines that the project as proposed will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
