Public Notice - F-2010-0796 (DA)
Date of Issuance –September 15, 2010
The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.
The United States Department of the Interior, Army Corps of Engineers - New York District (Corps) has determined that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. The consistency determination, draft Environmental Assessment, and accompanying public information and data is available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue in Albany, New York.
In F-2010-0796 (DA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - New York District, is proposing work to expand the inlet dredging area at Mattituck Inlet within the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York. The proposed work would increase the existing channel footprint to -11 feet MLW in depth and would increase the channel width to obtain 90,000cy of material. An additional 10,000cy of material would be obtained from the updrift fillet within the public park know as Breakwater Beach. This 100,000cy of material for bypassing would be removed as a combined project under the Continuing Authority Program, Section 111 project and maintenance dredging under the Corps’ Operation and Maintenance Program. Future bypassing would occur every 9-10 years as a combined Section 111 Project and as a maintenance dredging project. The Section 111 study supporting the selected project alternative was conducted under the Corps of Engineers’ Continuing Authorities Program and was initiated based on a request from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) concerned with erosion induced by the Federal Navigation Project at Mattituck Harbor, New York.
According to the information provided to the Department of State, the Corps has determined that the selected alternative is the best engineering solution and that implementation of the proposed Section 111 project will have significant beneficial impacts to the environment and surrounding communities including benefits to aquatic habitats and species, shorebird communities, improved downdrift shoreline stabilization and recreational opportunities, and reduced risk of storm damages due to the effects of the jetties.
Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 15 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, September 30, 2010.

Date of Issuance – September 15, 2010
The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.
The United States Department of Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service, has determined that the proposed activity will be undertaken in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the enforceable policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program. The applicant's consistency determination and accompanying supporting information and data are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue in Albany, New York.
United States Department of Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service, through their Partners for Fish and Wildlife program, proposes to reopen historic channels, allowing current to pass through the wetland, and connect upland inlets with Delaney Bay. Approximately 60 acres of monotypic cattail marsh will be restored or enhanced to provide spawning/nursery habitat for northern pike and habitat for wetland dependent birds. All restoration will take place in the marsh area using an amphibious excavator equipped with a ditching head. The ditching head is capable of restoring channels to a width of up to four feet wide – by two feet deep. While on site, appropriate channel bends will be enhanced with shallow “oxbow” areas with an approximate width of six to eight feet wide – by one foot deep. These oxbows will encourage re-vegetation and diversity in wetland plants at the site. The site is between Middle and Rusho Bay Roads on Grindstone Island. The excavator will be refueled on the upland and spill containment pads will be utilized during refueling. Suny-ESF will monitor the site as part of their ongoing assessment of the Conservation Strategy for the St. Lawrence River. The work is proposed for the fall.
Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 15 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, September 30, 2010.

United States Department of Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service, through their Partners for Fish and Wildlife program, proposes to reopen historic channels, allowing current to pass through the wetland, and connect the St. Lawrence River with Flynn Bay. The site is between Club and Grindstone Island. Approximately 7 acres of the present monotypic cattail marsh will be restored or enhanced to provide spawning/nursery habitat for muskellunge and habitat for wetland dependent birds. Additionally, with water flow restored, oxygen levels in Flynn Bay should rebound, allowing for significant improvement/restoration in this habitat. All restoration will take place in the marsh area using an amphibious excavator equipped with a ditching head. The ditching head is capable of restoring channels to a width of up to four feet wide – by two feet deep. All spoils will be side-cast from 0-30 feet in a relatively uniform fashion, with no apparent change in existing elevation. The excavator will be refueled on the upland and spill containment pads will be utilized during refueling. Suny-ESF will monitor the site as part of their ongoing assessment of the Conservation Strategy for the St. Lawrence River. The work is proposed for the fall.
