PB 17-13 Eastview Distribution Chamber Water Transmission Line Connection Project
A project involving the proposed installation of 2,184 L.F. of 30” DIP water transmission main from the Eastview Water Distribution Chamber (owned by Westchester County), connecting to the existing 30” Catskill Aqueduct connection (owned by the Villages) located within Executive Boulevard to the south. This new pipe will bring water to the Eastview Chamber from the NYC Ultra Violet treatment plant. The Water transmission main will traverse two parcels in the Town of Greenburgh, south of Route 100C/Grasslands Road: 130 Grasslands Road (Parcel ID: 7.70-5-7) is owned by New York City; 375 Executive Boulevard (Parcel ID: 7.120-18-5) is owned by Westchester County. The Proposed action is sponsored by the Villages of Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, and Briarcliff Manor as part of their joint long-term plan to consolidate and update their water supply and transmission functions. The Project serves an emergency/public safety use by creating redundancy in the Villages’ water systems in case their existing primary sources become unavailable at a future date. The project will temporarily disturb a 25’ wide area along the path of the proposed water main. A permanent access path, 12-feet in width and constructed of porous materials (item 4 gravel) will be provided. The proposed water line has been routed to avoid as much disturbance of wetlands/watercourses, regulated buffers and steep slopes, as is practically possible. The project, as currently planned, will limit disturbance on the parcel to less than 2% of the total lot area. Steep slope disturbances have been limited to approximately 2,316 sq. ft. (1,878 sq. ft. on 15-25% STEEP SLOPES, 407 sq. ft. on 25-35% VERY STEEP SLOPES, and 31 sq. ft. on 35%+ EXCESSIVELY STEEP SLOPES). Wetland/watercourse and regulated buffer area disturbance has been limited to approximately 26,605 sq. ft. The wetland disturbances are mainly in buffer areas, with only a small portion crossing a minor tributary to the main watercourse, the “Mine Brook.” All disturbed areas will be restored to existing, or better, condition upon completion of the work, with no permanent structural features proposed as part of the project. It is noted that the project was revised to reduce the total disturbance figures both to regulated steep slopes, and to wetlands, watercourses, and adjacent buffer areas, in coordination with the Town’s Environmental Consultant for the Project, Mr. Sven Hoeger. The project requires approximately 4,400 cubic yards of excavation. The project proposes the removal of 55 regulated trees, requiring a tree removal permit from the Town Forestry Officer. The applicant proposes 107 trees, and 34 shrubs, as replacement. Parcel ID: 7.70-5-7 consists of approximately 67.38 acres, and is located within the R-20 One-Family Residence District. Parcel ID: 7.120-18-5 consists of approximately 3.66 acres, and is located within the PD – Non-Residential Planned Development District. |

PB 18-30 Rumbrook-Knollwood Interconnection Water Transmission Main
A project involving the proposed construction of approximately a 6,000 linear feet, 24”-30” diameter water transmission main from the Rumbrook Pump Station in East Rumbrook Park eastward, crCossing 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. |
