Permit(s) Applied for:

Article 23 Title 27 Mined Land Reclamation | Article 27 Title 7 Solid Waste Management

Project is Located:

SMITHTOWN, SUFFOLK COUNTY

Project Description:

The applicant proposes to renew and modify its Mined Land Reclamation (MLR) permit in order to modify the reclamation objective to an objective which prepares the site for grade adjustment and C&D Debris Handling and Recovery activity authorized under a Part 360 Solid Waste Management permit. Preparations include removal of unsuitable materials (asphalt, concrete, steel, storage building), grading the lower floor to 65 feet above mean sea level (amsl), and removing trees, shrubs and stumps from the side slopes while leaving ground-cover vegetation intact. The remaining native sand and gravel reserves will not be removed from the site.

Reclamation will be considered complete after a final DEC inspection to confirm that site has been prepared for the Part 360 grade adjustment activity in accordance with the approved reclamation plan, after which DEC will grant final reclamation approval. The grade adjustment activity involves importing and processing 3,200 tons or 2,000 cubic yards per day of recognizable and uncontaminated sand, soil, gravel, concrete, rock and brick, in order to bring the site elevation from 65 feet amsl to 124' amsl.

The project is located at 135 Old Northport Road, Kings Park, Town of Smithtown, Suffolk County.
