Case No. PB 18-30 Rumbrook-Knollwood Interconnection Water Transmission Main – Planning Board Steep Slope Permit & Wetland/Watercourse Permit
A public hearing to discuss a project involving the proposed construction of an approximately 6,000 linear foot, 24”-30” diameter water transmission main from the Rumbrook Pump Station in East Rumbrook Park eastward, crossing above the Catskill Aqueduct, under the Sprain Brook Parkway, and within and beneath local streets, to the Knollwood Pump Station, where it would connect into the various transmission lines exiting the Knollwood Pump Station to distribute water to the Consolidated Water District #1. Installation of the transmission main will require demolition of the existing chlorine contact tank in the vicinity of the Rumbrook Pump Station. The project, as currently proposed, involves the disturbance of approximately 15,600 sq. ft. of wetland/watercourse adjacent buffer area. There is no direct disturbance to the watercourse (Rum Brook). The project proposes 9,724 sq. ft. of 15-25% (STEEP SLOPES), 1,338 sq. ft. of 25-35% (VERY STEEP SLOPES), and 280 sq. ft. of 35%+ (EXCESSIVELY STEEP SLOPES). The project requires the removal of 21 regulated trees. The proposal provides for the planting of 50 new trees, as replacement.
