    15.0 APPENDICES 15.1 APPENDIX A: STATE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS States have varying requirements for summer flounder permits, as summarized below (information as of April 2017). Massachusetts All persons who land and sell finfish in Massachusetts must have a commercial fishing permit from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MADMF) and must sell only to permitted Massachusetts dealers. A limited entry summer flounder (fluke) permit endorsement, in addition to a Massachusetts commercial fishing permit, is required for any individual and/or vessel to commercially fish for summer flounder within the state waters of Massachusetts, or to harvest, process, or land any summer flounder for commercial purposes in Massachusetts. This endorsement is limited entry due to a moratorium on new fluke endorsements instated in 1999 to address a substantial increase in participation and landings. The fluke endorsement must be renewed annually. MADMF policy has largely been against transfer of summer flounder endorsements, in order to maintain the moratorium’s effectiveness in reducing the total number of endorsements. However, MADMF allows endorsement transfers between immediate family members (provided they meet the existing eligibility criteria) on a one-time basis, after which the endorsement becomes non- transferable. In addition, inshore trawl fishermen who sell their businesses (i.e., vessels, permits, etc.) may transfer a summer flounder endorsement if the other permits are active as inshore trawling could result in excessive summer flounder discards otherwise. For the offshore fishery, transfer of the summer flounder endorsement to the new permit holder is allowed when vessels and federal permits are sold. Rhode Island A Rhode Island (RI) commercial fishing license with a restricted finfish endorsement is required to take summer flounder for commercial purposes from Rhode Island waters.

Prior to the initiation of the Comprehensive Plan Update process, the Town completed an analysis of existing conditions. This included the preparation of a community profile by the Capital District Regional Planning Commission (CDRPC) and a Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) prepared by the Town of Coeymans Conservation Advisory Council. To build on these efforts, the project team (MJ Engineering) developed an existing conditions supplement which included a review of the Town and Village wastewater and drinking water systems. The purpose of this review was to gain a better understanding of the current and future needs of the Town form an infrastructure perspective. The information presented in this report was gathered through key stakeholder interviews with Town staff from the Wastewater Treatment Plan and Village of Ravena staff from the Water Department in August 2020. Following is a summary of existing conditions and maintenance needs for the water and wastewater systems in Coeymans.

  • Town of East Hampton Section V. Flooding and Erosion Policies #11-17
    SECTION V FLOODING AND EROSION POLICIES #11-17 Town of East Hampton LWRP Flooding and Erosion Policies #11-17 A. INTRODUCTION 1. Flooding and Erosion Issues and their Evolution in East Hampton As an island promontory surrounded by water, East Hampton is singularly exposed to forces of the sea and weather. The Town's 110 miles of shoreline are protected by fragile beaches, dunes and bluffs, and while these are the same scenic and recreational attributes that lure tourists and second homeowners to a resort community, they are also vulnerable to winter nor'easters and catastrophic hurricanes. The awesome natural forces of storm events can quickly transform scenic views and real estate assets into disaster areas and insurance liabilities. Coastal flooding and erosion planning and policy in East Hampton have largely evolved in response to storms and other impacts of natural forces on development. Historically there has been less concern about episodic flooding and erosion in undeveloped areas where private property or public infrastructure were not at risk. This emphasis on protecting developed areas has masked the importance of maintaining unspoiled natural coastal features, both to sustain the Town's resort economy and because of their vital protective role in buffering the coast from flooding and erosion. A consideration of flooding and erosion and the coastal processes that determine them depends, as does any problem, on the point of view from which it is seen. In The Beaches are Moving, a popular classic of coastal management, authors Wallace Kaufman and Orrin Pilkey portray the conceptual dilemma thus: "The nature of sand is to move.

  • F- the Pleistocene Geology of the Montauk Peninsula
    155 TRIP F: THE PLEISTOCENE GEOLOGY OF THE MONTAUK PENINSULA By Walter S. Newman, David L. Thurber, David H. Krinsley, Queens College of the City University of New York; and Leslie A. Sirkin, Adelphi University. INTRODUCTION Long Island is a long narrow island reaching east-northeastward from New York City to form a "fish-like" extension of New York State. The island lies south of and is approximately parallel to the Connecticut shore of New England and is separated from it by Long Island Sound. Long Island forms the north shore of an Atlantic Ocean reentrant known as the "New York Bight". Although part of the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province, Long Island features a topography almost completely modified by glacial and proglacial processes. Two conspicuous end moraines extend from west to east along the axis of the island. The older Ronkonkoma moraine, probably Wisconsin in age, makes up a major portion of the Montauk Peninsula. The younger Harbor Hill moraine generally follows close to the north shore of Long Island east to Orient Point. The island abounds in other glacial and proglacial features such as the coalescing outwash fans and aprons which form much of the southern portion of the island. THE MONTAUK PENINSULA The Montauk Peninsula, as here defined, extends east from the village of Easthampton to Montauk Point. Montauk Point is the eastern extremity of the Ronkonkoma Moraine which forms a ridge of coalescing hills travesing the area from west to east. It marks the maximum advance of an ice sheet during late Pleistocene time. East of Montauk village, the moraine appears to be composed principally of till but does include glaciofluvial material.

To facilitate your review, the comments and responses in this letter are organized in the same order and under the same headings as in the comment letter. L Sturgeon/Part 182. Comment: The Department has determined that a taking will occur for this specific project at Coeymans and a 182 permit along with a species habitat mitigation/conservation plan covering the net conservation benefit is required. As discussed we still owe you and hope to have to you shortly a specific mitigation measure/project commensurate with this taking to incorporate into such a plan that TZC will be preparing and is needed for the complete application. Response: Please see our June 11, 2014 response letter regarding the measures taken to avoid the take of shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon in the project area. TZC maintains that the potential effects of planned in-water construction activities, specifically trestle pile installation and dredging, to sturgeon would not constitute a take and therefore a habitat mitigation/conservation plan is not required. Our assessment is based on the following: Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC Phone: (914) 789-3200 HDA, Inc.

Seneca County has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department ofTransportation (DOT), 49 CFR Part 26. Seneca County has received Federal financial assistance from the Department of Transportation, and as a condition of receiving this assistance, Seneca County has signed an assurance that it will comply with 49 CFR Part 26. It is the policy of Seneca County to ensure that DBE's, as defined in Pait 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in DOT-assisted contracts. It is also our policy: l. To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts; 2. To create a level playing field on which DBE's can compete fairly for DOT assisted contracts; 3. To ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law; 4. To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBE's; 5. To help remove barriers to the participation of DBE's in DOT assisted contracts; and 6. To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside the DBE Program. Harriet Haynes, Planner has been delegated as the DBE Liaison Officer (DBELO). In that capacity, Harriet Haynes is responsible for implementing all aspects of the DBE program.
