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.

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.

    INDUSTRIALIZING THE HUDSON RIVER IN COEYMANS 26 October 2016 Call for an independent environmental review of current & future industrial development in Coeymans, New York. Coeymans Falls, April 2015, ½ mile downstream of the Port of Coeymans Cement dust from a ship docked at the Port of Coeymans, April 2016 This paper was written by concerned residents and property owners in Coeymans with help from the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater For more information, please contact: Barbara Heinzen Email: [email protected] Paul Lawler See the full report on the Clearwater website: Email: [email protected] http://www.clearwater.org/ea/ Coeymans Briefing - 26 October 2016 1 SUMMARY New Heavy Industry along the Hudson River in Coeymans, NY Full Environmental Impact Study Needed Twelve miles south of Albany is the Hamlet of Coeymans, one of the earliest Dutch settlements on the Hudson River. It faces Schodack Island which held the last Council fire of the Mahican Indians and is now a State Park with nesting bald eagles. The Hamlet is bracketed by two Hudson tributaries, the Coeymans and Hannacroix Creeks. Together they are a ‘significant coastal habitat’ bordering an important stretch of the Hudson River where endangered sturgeon are found. In 2006, Carver Laraway opened the Port of Coeymans just north of the Hamlet. His businesses have expanded with unseemly haste. They include staging for the Tappan Zee Bridge project, the Coeymans Recycling Company, Coeymans Industrial Park, and a number of tenant industries. To achieve this growth, local Town and Village authorities were pressured to rezone residential and agricultural land along the Coeymans Creek for heavy industrial use.

Finalize drawings of the proposed project, as the submittal referenced above only appears to provide drawings regarding alternative designs. These finalized drawings should include: Cross-section drawings that clearly and accurately identify: the location of the mean low and high tide elevation; the existing elevation of the riverbed; the proposed elevation of the riverbed; and the location and elevations of all existing and proposed structures; Response: The preferred and finalized alternative includes a bulkhead wharf, which was determined to be required considering structural design for supporting heavy loads. Other aspects such as heavy structure loading/unloading procedures and related safety concerns are being evaluated to provide safe operations on the wharf to prevent risk to human health and safety. Typically, heavy load wharf design will require vertical bulkheads to retain backfill soils, increase wharf load shear strength and overall stability. It has been determined that a new wharf as detailed in the application documents and plans will be required for safe loading and transport of the heavy wind components.
